Under the Prevention of Corruption Act, both the giver and receiver of bribes are guilty of committing a crime. This is a skewed law, because if both are guilty, then who will give evidence? Anti-corruption agencies around the world freely lay traps with the help of decoys posing as bribe-givers to catch corrupt officials and politicians red-handed. The law has to be changed so that only the beneficiary of illegal gratification is charged with committing a crime. It is common sense that nobody willingly bribes, which most often is extorted.
Very often when huge assets are discovered, the case is allowed to linger on. We are told that the law will take its course. But this does not happen for 10 to 20 years because the judiciary has not been strengthened either with infrastructure or human resource to deliver fair and prompt justice. http://www.dailypioneer.com/332359/The-r...-deep.html
