An observation by Rightinformer:- 

Evil forces have become stronger.   

To do a work in the right manner one need to acquires a fair knowledge of what [s]he is expected to do, have courage to do only what is right even in adverse conditions and have an escape mechanism [legal remedy] kept ready always if any damage is inflicted by evil forces within the institution or from outside. 

A classic recent example is that of Shri C. Rajan, Additional Director General, DRI, Chennai. It was a false trap. He had neither demanded nor received bribe.   

We are bringing out a pocket guide in order to equip with the required knowledge of work and measures for any accidental or intentional harm done to honest officials.  [http://goo.gl/PO6bP] [http://www.rightinformer.org/procedural-laws]

“Courts should not place reliance on decisions without discussing how the factual situation fits in with the fact situation of the decision on which reliance is placed. Observations of courts are neither to be read as Euclid’s theorems nor as provisions of the statute and that too taken out of their context. These observations must be read in the context in which they appear to have been stated” said a Bench consisting of Justices Arijit Pasayat and A.K. Ganguly.

“Judgments of courts are not to be construed as statutes. To interpret words, phrases and provisions of a statute, it may become necessary for judges to embark on lengthy discussions but the discussion is meant to explain and not to define. Judges interpret statutes, they do not interpret judgments. Circumstantial flexibility, one additional or different fact may make a world of difference between conclusions in two cases. Disposal of cases by blindly placing reliance on a decision is not proper.”

Justice Pasayat, who wrote the judgment, quoted Lord Denning in the matter of applying precedents: “Each case depends on its own facts and a close similarity between one case and another is not enough because even a single significant detail may alter the entire aspect.  To decide, therefore, on which side of the line a case falls, the broad resemblance to another case is not at all decisive.”

Supreme Court -  FEBRUARY 13, 2012. Commissioner of Central Excise, Faridabad Vs. M/s. Food & Healthcare Specialities & ANR. [Civil Appeal Nos. 6539-6540 of 2010] http://www.advocatekhoj.com/library/judgments/announcement.php?WID=1813

. . . the merchant manufacturers and the purchasing traders are merely extensions of the processor. In the latter case, the processor is not a mere processor but also a merchant manufacturer who purchases/manufactures the raw material, processes it and sells it himself in the wholesale market. In such a situation, the profit is not of a processor but of a merchant manufacturer and a trader.

If the transaction is between related persons, the profit would not be "normally earned" within the meaning of Rule 6(b)(ii). If it is established that the dealings were with related persons of the manufacturer, the sale of the processed fabrics would not be limited to the formula prescribed by Ujagar Prints (III) but would be subject to excise duty under the principles enunciated in Empire Industries as affirmed in Ujagar Prints (II), incorporating the arms length principle."

As the procedure set out in the 2001 Rules has not been followed, the appellant was not entitled to exemption on the Naphtha cleared from its factory for supply to Indo Gulf Corporation Limited for manufacture of fertilizer.

Supreme Court of India Commr. Of Customs vs Sayed Ali & Anr. on 18 February, 2011 - http://164.100.9.38/judis/handle/123456789/20746

Bhanu said, 'Yesterday, Dr Kalam administered an oath to all the IAS and IPS officers including myself. I would like to assure you Dr Kalam that I have worked with integrity and succeeded with integrity during the last 24 years as an IAS officer in different parts of the state and the Centre.

 I responded by recalling my own experience where I worked very closely with politicians and administrators including positions like secretary -- in Defence Research and Development Organisation and as scientific advisor to the Raksha Mantri, principal scientific advisor to the Government of India. In all these positions, I was in charge of large missions with huge capital investments. I recall that at no point did any leader or administrator approach me for favours.

India lost a staggering $*** billion in illicit financial flows due to tax evasion, crime and corruption. 68 per cent of India's aggregate illicit capital loss occurred after India's economic reforms in 1991, indicating that deregulation and trade liberalisation actually contributed to/accelerated the transfer of illicit money abroad.Reports that wealth is stashed in offshore jurisdictions and tax haven, also goes on to indicate the extent of the problem.

The survey shows that Corporates cannot just claim to be victims of corruption. They are also responsible for it.

Organisations pay bribes to win and retain business. This is a typical scenario where organisations tend to overlook the implications of encouraging these practices and often look only at short-term benefits achieved. They fail to realise that what has worked in their favour could also land them into trouble later and lead to adverse consequences for them.

Corruption increases the overall cost of conducting business on account of operating in corrupt environments.

The Indian government's track record in combating bribery and corruption has not been very effective. The main reason for this is political interference and delayed justice that impairs the effectiveness of the verdict, opined corporate India. http://goo.gl/9HUq0

http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1519371/ - SC Judgement dated 9.8.2011 - Extract: Indiscriminate and impractical demands or directions under RTI Act for disclosure of all and sundry information (unrelated to transparency and accountability in the functioning of public authorities and eradication of corruption) would be counter-productive as it will adversely affect the efficiency of the administration and result in the executive getting bogged down with the non-productive work of collecting and furnishing information. The Act should not be allowed to be misused or abused, to become a tool to obstruct the national development and integration, or to destroy the peace, tranquility and harmony among its citizens. Nor should it be converted into a tool of oppression or intimidation of honest officials striving to do their duty. The nation does not want a scenario where 75% of the staff of public authorities spends 75% of their time in collecting and furnishing information to applicants instead of discharging their regular duties. The threat of penalties under the RTI Act and the pressure of the authorities under the RTI Act should not lead to employees of a public authorities prioritising `information furnishing', at the cost of their normal and regular duties.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA, Institute of Chartered Accountants of India Vs. Shaunak H. Satya & Ors. on 2.9.2011

We do not agree that first respondent had indulged in improper use of RTI Act. His application is intended to bring about transparency and accountability in the functioning of ICAI. ... Examining bodies like ICAI should change their old mindsets and tune them to the new regime of disclosure of maximum information. Public authorities should realize that in an era of transparency, previous practices of unwarranted secrecy have no longer a place. Accountability and prevention of corruption is possible only through transparency. Attaining transparency no doubt would involve additional work with reference to maintaining records and furnishing information. Parliament has enacted the RTI Act providing access to information, after great debate and deliberations by the Civil Society and the Parliament.
