“Umashankar’s suspension smacks of victimisation”

AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa has alleged that suspension of IAS officer C. Umashankar smacked of victimisation by the DMK government.
In a statement here on Wednesday, Ms. Jayalalithaa questioned the powers of the State government to place an IAS officer under suspension on the pretext that he had entered the Civil Services using a bogus community certificate.
“All civil service appointments in the country are done by the Union Public Service Commission. It is the responsibility of the UPSC to vet the antecedents of every recruit and verify their certificates,” she said.
She said the DMK government’s claim that Mr. Umashankar, belonging to Dalit community, had entered the service using a forged community certificate had given room for speculation on the reasons behind this.
Ms. Jayalalithaa recalled the government’s decision to launch Arasu Cable Corporation and the appointment of Mr. Umashankar as its Managing Director, and said the real motive behind it was to pose a challenge to the Maran brothers’ Sumangali Cable Vision (SCV).
Scapegoat
Ms. Jayalalithaa said after an agreement was suddenly reached between the warring cousins of Mr. Karunanidhi’s family, the IAS officer was made the scapegoat and shunted out.
She alleged that though Mr. Umashankar was appointed as the MD of Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT), he was removed from the post because he questioned the disappearance of ETL Infrastructure Ltd., a subsidiary of ELCOT, along with Rs. 700 crore assets.
Explanation sought
Demanding an explanation from Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on what happened to ETL and the fate of the Rs. 400 crore invested in Arasu Cable Corporation, she wanted to know why was a Dalit officer in government service being victimised.

Does Prime Minister of INDIA want to LEGITAMIZE eProcurement scandle ?

IT Secretary RAO of AP writes: You are absolutely right on this one. We gave totally misleading figures.

NISG formation is the MASTER PLAN of Mr. R. Chandrashekar, the Add’l Secretary at MIT along with Mr. J. Sathyanarayana CEO of NISG. Both comes from AP Cadre.
NISG knows how to hire Consultants who writes TENDER to suit particular companies favored by Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J, Sathyanarayana.
Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J. Sathyanarayana knows how to RIG a TENDER !!

Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J. Sathyanarayana are making sure eProcurement is not done by Govt. of INDIA and Govt. of Respective States by RIGGING the TENDER.
Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J. Sathyanarayana making the COUNTRY to be SLAVES of these PRIVATE COMPANIES.
Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J. Sathyanarayana have inroad into these FRADULENT PRIVATE COMPANIES.

eProcurement of AP information is not on Govt. SERVER. All the information of eProcurement information of AP State is on the SERVER of the PRIVATE COMPANY.

IS this what AP State wants it done ? To sell the STATE eprocurement information to PRIVATE COMPANIES. It is happenning because of Mr. R. Chandrashekar and Mr. J. Sathyanarayana combination.

Even the formation of NISG is in question ?

Even the UNDP funds that were FUNDED for formation of NISG are being MISUSED by NISG !

Mechanism to be evolved soon to rid judiciary of corruption, says CJI

Y. K. Sabharwal delivers inaugural address at the State Judicial Officers’ conference

`Modern technology will ensure that corruption is totally eliminated’

Reports suggesting 20 per cent of the system is corrupt is incorrect: CJI

HYDERABAD: Chief Justice of India Y. K. Sabharwal has exuded confidence that the judicial system in the country will evolve a mechanism to bring “zero per cent tolerance” to corruption in judiciary in not so distant future. The new system involving the use of modern technology will ensure that either corruption is totally eliminated or considerably controlled and brought to zero level, he said.

Delivering the inaugural address at the State Judicial Officers’ conference here on Sunday, he expressed concern over the reports of high corruption in judiciary that had become a matter of debate in various platforms.

`Reports incorrect’

While the reports suggested that 20 per cent of the system was corrupt, verification on the basis of interaction with Chief Justices and records proved that to be incorrect.

“When five per cent corruption is supposed to be high in judiciary, 20 per cent is much higher. Luckily, that does not appear so on the basis of the records,” he said.

Moreover, the standard of test pertaining to petitions of corruption of judicial officers was much stronger than any other official of Government organisations.

Tracing the reasons for corruption in judiciary, Justice Sabharwal said one of the main reasons was high percentage of corruption in the staff working in the subordinate courts. “The amount they take may be small, but amount is not an issue and we cannot justify that. Since there is high percentage of corruption at that level the conclusion is that there is corruption at the higher level,” he said.

Elaborating about the accusations over delays in disposal of cases, he said while the number of cases had increased manifold, the number of judges attending to the cases had remained same over the years.

In addition to the increasing awareness among people about the legal systems, the multiplication of laws every now and then was resulting in more number of cases.

It was the duty of the legislature to see the impact a new law would have on the number of cases and the number of judges being added to the system.

“If things are projected that way none can point an accusing finger towards judges,” he said.

Pat for judicial officers

Appreciating the judicial officers for their role in strengthening the judiciary, he wanted them to come up with innovation to turn the tide and increase disposals.

He advised the officers not to resort to shortcut methods in their career as it would be exposed sooner or later and they would have to pay a heavy price.

Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh G. S. Singhvi welcomed the participants while High Court Judge Justice Bilal Nazki proposed a vote of thanks.
