Illegal Gratification III

Posted on by Rudrajyoti Nath Ray

Devasagayam, from Railways, lodged a complaint on 29.10.2015, alleging payment of Rs.2,60,000/-. When a refund was demanded, Devasagayam did not get it.  

It appears, Devasagayam originally had a genuine grievance. But, later turned out to be a Trojan horse, willing to sabotage investigation against influential persons.

It is true, English is not our mother tongue. It is also true, some allowance (or discount ranging from 0 to 90%) can be given at times to use of certain loose expressions. Order, dated 31.10.2022, of Madras High Court in Criminal O.P. No. 15122 of 2021 does not reflect a mere deficiency in language or law. There is something more. It has not merely opened up a small loophole but a black hole.   

Order, dated 31.10.2022, of Madras High Court in Criminal O.P. No. 15122 of 2021 shall stand dismissed.  

– Hon’ble Justice V. Ramasubramanian, Y. Balaji v. Karthik Desari, [Special Leave Petition (Criminal) Nos.12779-12781 of 2022].

'The Last Word' seeks to include not only wise and witty sayings but also curiosities. These words are not of obligation but of delight. I am not alone in my refusal to believe, law is tedious. For all who escaped these percipient eyes, mea culpa maxima. History, after all, has many cunning passages, contrived corridors and issues.
