[IAC#RG] Corruption in MHADA. Mumbai Repairs and reconstruction Board.

In Mumbai cessed  buildings are repaired by repairs board through Architect and contractor.

Architect Contractor and deputy engineer of repairs  board are a team.

they give an estimate of less than 10 lacs, so that they don't have to go through e Tender process.

Thus that team gets the contract. Then Architect and contractor tell tenants that all repairs cannot be

done in that amount. if you contribute some amount i.e. 40% of additional estimate (say 5 Lacs.) they can get

60%  from M L A fund. This is all  unofficial. only cash payment, no receipt etc. and if contractor does not

do all repairs we cannot do anything.

CAN ANYONE STOP THIS CORRUPTION ?

guidance IS necessary.

Re: [IAC#RG] Railway reservations

Quality of tea / coffee/ other food served in compartments can be made better only by :

AA.  Ensuring only licensed vendors are allowed to sell. ( This may require barricading both sides of the entire railway corridor against unauthorised entry)

BB. Passengers willing to cough up the extra buck for the quality costs.

Re: [IAC#RG] Court pendency behind India's low global ranking: World Bank

Absolutely correct. Whether to grant bail or not depends on necessity test and balancing test. It depends on fact situation. In the absence of conflicting view of two or more co-ordinate benches or unless an earlier  binding decision is doubted bay a subsequent coordinate bench  there is no need to refer the matter to larger bench.

Normally Supreme court will refer a case to larger bench if there arises any conflicting decisions from a co-ordinate Bench. Otherwise their is no need to refer any case as a Division bench is competent enough to declare the law within the available limits . So it  is totally illegal  to refer Teestas Case to larger bench . The small judgment is starting with longest ever sentence in the English language. Here the question is Whether this countries public is still living in middle age? What are the steps taken by our administration to improve this system to prove it is not working in colonial era ?

The Times of India report:

Court pendency behind India's low global ranking: World Bank.

NEW DELHI: Large pendency of cases in Indian courts and non-implementation of judicial reforms have been cited by the World Bank as one of the key reasons for India's low rank on the Bank's Index of 'Ease of Doing Business'. India was ranked 142 among 189 countries last year.

In a memorandum to the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) under the commerce ministry, the World Bank suggested linking judges' appraisal with reduction of pendency in courts. Sources said the matter was discussed at a meeting organized by the DIPP recently to refine the performance evaluation system of judges to link their performance to the resolution of specific bottlenecks as suggested by the World Bank.

The DIPP is also coordinating implementation of the 'Make in India' campaign of the Modi government.

Interestingly, the World Bank suggested that there was an urgent need for reforms in the system of performance appraisal of judicial officers in the country to bring about uniformity and infuse objectivity and standardization.

The Bank cited an example from Malaysia where implementation of a reform index for judges improved case disposal rates and reduced backlog by 50% in less than three years. Another example was cited from the United Arab Emirates, where rewards were instituted for the best performers.

According to the memorandum, the liberal grant of adjournments was an often cited reason for delays in court proceedings in India. It recommended monitoring the number of times judges granted adjournments and the reasons for granting them. "This can be done through case management systems and linked to performance management evaluations," it said.

It asked the government to ensure that adjournments were not indefinite by setting a time limit.

Just a few weeks ago, the Modi government had written to chief justices of all 24 high courts to ensure speedier settlement of commercial and other disputes for creating a conducive investment climate and success of 'Make in India' campaign.

"One of the reforms introduced by Malaysia between 2009 and 2011 during the overhaul of the judicial system was the implementation of a reform index for judges," the Bank said, citing how this index, fixed by the judges themselves, was aimed at allowing them to assess and monitor their performance. As a result of this and other measures, case disposal rates in Malaysian courts improved and backlog was reduced by 50% in less than three years, it said.

Re: [IAC#RG] CHIEF ELECTION COMMISSIONER ABDICATES HIS REPONSIBILITY

Mr Venkataraman has made an excellent point. Election Commissioners are too respectful of power and are too submissive in dealing with flagrant violations. They have the power but do not use it. Partly this is because they come from the same bureaucracy that has helped corrupt Ministers. Exceptions like TN Seshan CEC and Vinod Rai as CAG are few and far between. So long as only bureaucrats  become election commissioners we are unlikely to see  change. 

Why does IAC not take the Election Commission to Court For not  enforcing the law In one of these blatant cases? SLRao

                                                               CHIEF  ELECTION  COMMISSIONER  ABDICATES HIS REPONSIBILITY

In a media interview , that was published on  21^st March,2015, Chief Election Commissioner Mr. H.S.Brahma  has said that law  is not a panacea for poll ills.  Confessing that money power plays role in elections  and business and money are involved in the  election process, he  has  said  that law is not going to solve any problem and people should be told that in their own interest , they must vote for the right person.

Obviously, by the above confession, Chief Election Commissioner  expresses his inability to ensure fair poll, which  make  one wonder  as to what is the Chief Election Commissioner for ?

The problem today is not due to lack of laws but inability and unwillingness of Election Commission to enforce the law in letter and spirit. Election Commission rarely punishes the politicians who violate the model code of conduct and often ends up in issuing warnings which no politician seems to take seriously. Election Commission today is viewed as a barking dog that seldom bite.

Even when Election Commission seizes the money that may be meant for bribing during the polls, it does not follow up the matter and punish the concerned political party but simply leave the matter to the Income tax authorities. What has the Election Commission done about  the allegation that AAP received Rs. 2 crores , during the recent Delhi polls from fictitious source. Election Commission's deafening silence in the matter indicates it's attitude to it's responsibility.

Bribing of voters has become the order of the day in several states including Tamil Nadu. Several such instances have been brought to the notice of Election Commission during the elections  but  it  has often ignored them  fearing the politicians. This is so, since Election Commissioners owe their positions to the politicians.

To cut the long story short, one instance is enough  to show the weak approach of the Election Commission. A  notorious by election in Tamil took place in Tirumangalam a few years back, when money was distributed openly to the voters. The then Chief Election Commissioner himself admitted this disgusting scenario but he did not move ahead to countermand the poll. Obviously, he lacked the courage of conviction , inspite of the fact that the Election Commission is a constitutional body  with great responsibility.

 Now, in Tamil Nadu politicians use the term "Tirumangalam formula" ,as  one sure method for winning election.

The statement of Chief Election Commissioner that law is inadequate and he is helpless deserves strong criticism and condemnation. Obviously, we need Election Commissioners with greater sense of determination and commitment to the national cause of conducting free and fair elections at any cost.

[IAC#RG] Railway reservations

The discussion about Tatkal ticket reservation is appreciable one. My question is why Tatkal? Why cant the government impose certain restrictions on agents in booking railway tickets? It's very simple. ID card numbers - voter ID, pan card , adhaar and passport as ID - should be made compulsory in booking tickets to eliminate middlemen.

Next issue is, food served in the railway compartments are horrible. The tea and coffee are a shame. Why cant the government impose quality assurance that is imposed on other restaurants and food outlets?
