Corruption Continues Unabated Despite Handsome Increase In Govt Employees Salaries, No Limit To Human Greed: Punjab & Haryana High Court
Case: Tulsi Ram Mishra v. State of Punjab and others
Coram: Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal
Case No.: CRM-M-11381-2016 (O&M)
Court Observation: This Court cannot shut its eyes to the serious allegations against the petitioner. If this Court allows the matter to be closed or brushed under the carpet at this stage it would be failing in its duty to ensure that justice is not only done but seem to be done in cases involving corruption by high government functionaries. It is the sacred duty of this Court to uphold the rule of law and any leniency in corruption cases would erode the faith of the common man in the rule of law.
Prosecution in absence of sanction would be vitiated. The public servant may take objections with regard to validity or absence of a valid sanction at cognizance stage but after the commencement of the trial he may take objections at the time of conclusion of the trial, but the trial shall not be scuttled in the midst
“…although the salaries of the government employees have increased handsomely over the years but corruption continues unabated as there is no limit to human greed. The social stigma attached to corruption is also diminishing”
