GOK Has A New Website With Lots of Info For Public Use.

Problems of Redressal of Citizens Grievances is the subject on which the Administrative Reforms Commission headed by Late Shri. Morarji Desai, who later became the Prime Minister of India gave its first report. It is that report which recommended for the establishment of Lokpal and Lokayukta institutions at the Central and State level respectively for redressal of citizens grievances by investigating into administrative actions taken by or on behalf of Central Government or State Government or certain public authorities. These institutions were intended to serve as institutions independent of the Government concerned and as institutions to supplement the judicial institutions headed by Chief Justices or Judges of Supreme Court of India or High Court of  the State.

The  recommendation for appointment of Lokayuktas at the States level, as indicated in that report, was made to improve the standards of Public Administration, by looking into complaints against administrative actions, including cases of corruption, favouritism and official indiscipline in administrative machinery. It is the said recommendation which made the Karnataka State Legislature to enact the  Karnataka Lokayukta Act 1984 for investigating into allegations or grievances in respect of administrative actions relatable to matters specified in List II or List III of the 7th Schedule to the Constitution of India.

Lokayukta has taken up a drive to unearth disproportionate assets acquired by corrupt public servants.  Acquisition of wealth disproportionate to known sources of income is punishable under Section 13 (2) r/w 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988  Section 13(1)(e) says that a public servant is said to commit the offence  of criminal misconduct if he or any person on his behalf, is in possession or has, at any time during the period of his office, been in possession for which the public servant cannot satisfactorily account, of pecuniary  resources or property disproportionate to his known sources of income.

For the purposes of this section, ?known sources of income? means income received from any lawful source and such receipt has been intimated in accordance with the provisions of any law, rules or orders for the time being applicable a public servant.

It need not be under emphasized that you can be a useful source for unearthing this disproportionate assets acquired by corrupt public servants.  Your co-operation with the Karnataka Lokayukta to reveal the assets acquired by the public servants would go a long way in preventing corruption.   It is however, requested that the information be given in specific terms i.e., instead of simply mentioning that a public servant has got vast extent of properties, it would be useful if the location of these properties in specific terms is given etc. It will be ensured that the details that are provided by you will not be disclosed by any one.  If you so wish you need not reveal your name also. This is to help the commom citizens, GOK has a new website where you can submit any information if have any trouble with the government officials.

GOK Has Called For Objections On CVS Property Tax.

Government of karnataka has called for objections on controversal CVS property tax on BBMP properties. It is not certain that the whole scheme is applicable for whole of Karnataka or just for Bangalore. This is very important, the whole citizens of karnataka are same as those living in Bangalore and just for Bangalore alone this cannot be implemented. More over the Government keeps its Guidance value now and then, this becomes a problem for tax payment. Where the property value is almost declared every year, this again will lead to problems with the Income tax department. When the properties are sold only the value’s are declared.
The objections could be lodged with,

The Principal Secretary,
Revenue Department,
Vikasa Soudha,

GOK’s Sakrama Has New Modifications. File Your Objections Before It Is Too Late.

I think the citizens could take the opportunity provided by the government for filling their objections about Sakrama. The new notifications is out and the last date for filing objections is 29th March 2008. There are lots of anamolies in the penalities imposed on citizens. The biggest being the variable penality for people owning a 40×60 site and bigger dimension sites/lands and others owning a less dimension sites have been asked to pay 1/4 the cost of the original penality. For a popular government all the citizens are same, like children of the same parents, you cannot give/take - more/less from different children of your own. It defy the natural law the spirit of being in a democracy and we being Indians. I call upon all the citizens to file in their objections to the Hon Governor of Karnataka. A written ojection will help one and all. Please Note the Sakrama is applicable for whole of Karnataka and implications are very high and very little time to protest.

The Hon’able Governor Of Karnataka,
Vidhana Soudha,
Bangalore -560 001.
