Supreme Court has empowered citizens to file cases against public servants in criminal court without waiting for permission from Govt.

The Supreme Court Judgement in Case of Dr. Subramanian Swamy versus Dr. Man Mohan Singh and others came, on 31st January, 2012

It said two things:

1) Any Citizen can file a Private Complaint against any Public Servant for charges of corruption in nearest Court.

2) No sanction needed when court registers it as a Complaint Case and Directs its Investigation of Corruption Charges by Higher Officers.

Judge cannot ask “How can you file a complaint? He never asked any bribe from you. How can I accept your Compliant? What right you have to file this complaint?

Every citizen has right to file complaints which will be directed by court to police to investigate and report to court.

THE MORAL

Any activist can file complaints in courts against public servants. No sanction needed at this stage.

You have obtained a Demand Draft from a Bank, payable to certain person or Bank.

Unfortunately your Demand Draft is lost.

You tell you Bank that draft is lost and you ask your money back which you had paid to get money.

Bank may require you to give two things.

1) A letter from the payee bank that draft is not encashed by it.

2) They may ask an affidavit from you.

Why affidavit?

In affidavit, bank will ask you to state that 1) My Draft is lost 2) In case Bank suffers any damage in future because of this draft, I will compensate -indemnify Bank.

So the Bank wants affidavit for future protection against lost draft…

It is okay.
