If you are born and raised in India, you are well acquainted with Mr.Corruption. Corruption has personified itself as a public figure in this country. Starting from cops to politicians, almost everyone is corrupt around here. No laws ca n bring justice to this country till corruption is taken care of. Recently, the anti corruption law has changed and has improved.

In yet another case, the apex court ruled that there should be no need to seek sanction to prosecute a former MP or MLA for a corrupt deed by him during his membership of parliament or legislature as he is not a public servant as present

What are it’s implications?

* Since the corrupt MP or MLA is no longer a member of the parliament or legislative assembly, no further sanction is needed to sue him in the court of law.

* If the politician’s corruptions gets out in public, the party can fire him and he or she can be in a lot of trouble.

* This is a step to amend the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 This law was cleared last month by a group of ministers involved in this process.

* This law hasn’t been amended since 1988’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha bribery case. I think it’s a good thing. With the new changes, the corruption can be somewhat checked.

Aftermath of the law

This law should be a handy tool for the Anti Corruption departments of the Indian government. The corrupt ex MLAs and MPs will no longer go scott free after their crime or at least we can hope so. This law hopefully will satisfy the Central Vigilance Commission. Hopefully, cases like the Mayawati’s Taj Corridor scam should be easier to handle after this new litigation.
