Friends,
In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the right of a private citizen to seek sanction for prosecution of apublic servant for corruption, while setting a deadline of four months for the government to decide the issue of giving sanction for prosecution of public servants facing graft charges.
According to a PTI report, a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and and A K Ganguly rejected the argument of attorney general G E Vahanvati that Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy, also a petitioner in the 2G case, had no locus standi to seek sanction for prosecution of former telecom minister A Raja.
The SC said, "There is no provision in the Prevention of Corruption Act or CrPC which bars a citizen from filing a complaint for prosecution of a public servant who is alleged to have committed an offence." The SC also turned down Vahanvati's argument that the issue of sanction for prosecution arises only at the stage of taking cognizance of the case by the court.
In my opinion, this is land mark judgement and would go a long way in eradicating corruption, by EMPOWERMENT of citizens to act as watchdogs. Legal experts would analyse the implications.

[rti4empowerment] "I refused Fund to DM and Ruling Party President"
"I refused Fund to DM and Ruling Party President"
In another mail, I talked of Dr Raj Kumar Dube, Principal of District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Baraut, District- Baghpat who has been waging a single-handed battle against corruption at Baghpat. He got the FIR lodged at case crime No. 238 of 2011, under sections 420, 468, 471 IPC, PS Baraut, district Baghpat which later Allahabad High Court directed to be transferred to CB-CID. Allahabad High Court is also monitoring the case in a very detailed manner.
When Dr Dube came to our house today at Lucknow, he told me an interesting story. He said that once he was asked to pay Rs. 25,000 to the District President of the ruling party for a particular occasion, which he refused straight away. When the party President complained to the District Magistrate, instead of refusing to interfere in the matter, the DM asked Dr Dube about this, saying that he shall cooperate with the Party President. Dr Dube not only refused once again to the DM, he also immediately wrote to a very senior officer in Government about the entire event, taking the DM's name.
Today, Dr Dube is the man responsible for unraveling the big scam of obtaining fake mark sheets from the Madhyamik Shiksha Mandal, Bhopal and the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University, Varanasi for the purpose of getting admission in B.T.C. courses for securing government jobs of primary school teachers. Certainly a great man! I have rarely found a man of his character in the setup I work. We need to appreciate all such people who are true gems of our society.

[rti4empowerment] I am no less a Nationalist than anyone else
Dr Dube has been facing all kinds of hardships in the process. Among other problems, he faced FIRs by a RTI and social activist supported by no less a person than Sri Arvind Kejriwal and Ms Kiran Bedi who personally went to Baghpat to support this so-called RTI activist and gave evidence in his favour. Dr Dube wrote to both asking them to listen to his facts and said in his letter- "If you are a true nationalist, kindly listen to me also and then take sides with a person who is a part of scam." He says in another letter- "I give open challenge to Sri Arvind Kejriwal and Ms Kiran Bedi that if they listen to my side of the story, they will start feeling ashamed of openly assisting a Bad character. I am no less nationalist than them. If they are International Social activists, I am also an internationally recognized mathematician. How can they try to denigrate me without knowing the full facts?" He never got a reply from either Sri Arvind Kejriwal or Ms Kiran Bedi, who had once again recently gone to support this "social activist" from Baghpat.
