Dear Ravi Kumar,
I am not contending that there are no stronger statutes in India, but I am talking about the commitment of authorities in implementing them. What is the rate (percentage) of prevention of crimes through these statutes? The instances of film actors, politicians and others involved in crimes being sent behind bars are limited. Take the case of Ottavio Quattrochi, the Bofors middle man for instance. The CBI fought the case for 20 years and finally Tees Hazari Court acquitted him free of the charges. Even a Red Corner notice also was issued by Interpol at the request of CBI to arrest him. What happened finally everyone knows. Take the case of Lalu Prasad Yadav in fodder scam. Could any of the enforcement authorities do any thing? How many people could be detained under WPA when animals are killed and served in political feasts and other parties? Are PCBs playing proper role in granting license? Let me explain you with an example. In Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh, the State PCB had granted licenses to 28 thermal power projects based on reports submitted by entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs suppressed facts about actual quantum of pollution due to thermal power plants and the consequent environmental damage caused. There is so much of surreptitious money stashed in foreign banks. What law could get the money back? The nation is witnessing the worst possible mis-governance both at state and central levels. Is there any machinery to correct these anomalies? Hope you have understood the scenario.
With regards,
Madhusudan
