IMPORTANT UPDATE
The Govt has just moved an Amendment Bill to the Prevention of Corruption Act 2013 yesterday in Rajya Sabha.
Ostensibly it seeks to set the time to grant sanction for prosecution to 3 months. In actuality it removes the right of a citizen to move a private complaint, and make it more difficult to prosecute retired public servants for corrupt acts committed by them in office.
I am happy to say that UPA Govt were forced to move it because after the decision in Subramaniam Swamy's SLP of Oct 2012, my own corruption complaint (see below) landed on MoS/DoPT's desk.
On 28.April.2013 I had asked the President of India ("Central Govt") for permission to prosecute Ajit Kr. Seth -Cabinet Secy. and also other officers on the "Screening Committee" which short listed 3 Information Commissioners last year in a grossly corrupt manner. (These posts are being sold and the bribe to be appointed as an IC was Rs. 2 crore in instance of an initially rejected candidate who was later selected).
The Vineet Narain judgment had settled that the time for the Competent Authority to give sanction to prosecute is 3 months plus 1 month where the AG's opinion is requested. My complaint is with MoS/DoPT (Narayanswamy) for 3 months now and the notings on it are that only an Amendment Bill to avert/overcome SC's finding (that Prevention of Corruption Act does not rule out prosecution on private complaint) can cut my complaint/request.
Hence the present Amendment Bill moved in Rajya Sabha which does just that. The files in my DoPT cases also have a remarkable propensity of doing the disappearing act.
