Shyam Babu Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-15-2003

Reported in: 2003(3)AWC2475

ORDERM. Katju, J.1. The petitioner claims to be a journalist, and through this writ petition has prayed for an enquiry against respondent No. 4, regarding certain allegations of corruption.2. We see no reason to order any such enquiry.3. A large number of writ petitions are coming before this Court praying that enquiry against some official or Government servant be made regarding corruption and irregularities committed by them. This Court will be flooded with such cases, if such writ petitions are entertained. The standards of public life have gone down sharply in the last two or three decades, and this Court is helpless in such matters. It is for the political leadership to set up high standards of public life and morality, and unless they do so, it is idle to expect the judiciary to wipe out the corruption and fraud which is going on everywhere in our country on a large scale.4. If there were only a few instances of corruption or misdemeanors by public servants the Court could have s...
