Well done, but it is only tip of an ice berg. Lokayuktha police can do much more in trapping bribe givers like document writers and document writing advocates. Some Advocates indulging in document writing and registry work without attending court. The cases in the court are all pending for years together. Because there is no Lokauktha at Bangalore complaints sent to Bangalore are a waste of money for affidavits( money to notaries) and copying ( Xeroxing bills)into 3-4 sets and postage under R.P.A.D.s. The cost is not recovereable. The complainant is left with no answers nor even acknowledgments years together. As the State Government Drama at Bangalore, the Office of Lokayuktha. Unless there is mutiny, perhaps, the Government is not rising from its slumber. Catching the bribe giver is the effective method of controling Corruption. Well done Officials, ultimately you have taken some bold steps. Next important step should to watch the judiciary and advocates who are responsible delaying in decisions/ judgments/ orders.J.Pattabirama Rao is the best precednet. |
