[rti4empowerment] Permission not required to investigate senior babus ...... Landmark judgement by Hon'ble SC

 

1. There is great news today. As reported, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that no permission is required to investigate senior babus. It may be recalled that an earlier Congress Party had passed the "Single Point Directive" that necessitated permission from the government to prosecute senior babus. I believe this was at a later time withdrawn, only to be reintroduced again by BJP under the Law Minister Mr. Jaitley. It is for this reason, together with the fact that the said Mr. Jaitley failed in his duty to increase the number of courts ..... a failure widely perceived to favour and shield a few partymen / corrupt types sacrificing the broader interest of the nation, that this writer has felt that Mr. Jaitley is unfit to be a cabinet minister, much in the same way as Dr. Manmohan Singh.

2. It is time to now get rid of the highly discriminatory "Anticipatory Bail" junk.

Great service has been done by Senior Advocate Mr. Prashant Bhushan, AAP, and their teams. Hats off and many thanks to them.
