| Summary, etc |
The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 is a powerful legal instrument to effectively deal with the menace of corruption in public services in India. The Act provides for criminal prosecution of public servants for misusing public office for personal gain or for obtaining unfair advantage or illegal gratification. However, in the year 2018, the Indian Parliament amended the said Act to bring holistic changes in it. These changes were necessitated to curb the continued rampant practice of bribery in the public services despite the existing anti-corruption law and also with the aim to curb the rising trend of corporate bribery which is an outcome of deep-rooted unholy nexus between the public servant, politicians and corporate houses. For the first time, the provision relating to bribery by Commercial Organization has been introduced through the amendment. Further, the amendment also mandates time bound completion of criminal trial under the Act. The drastic provision of Attachment and Confiscation of property of the corrupt public servant has also been introduced in the law. There are several other changes brought. This paper attempts to investigate and examine these new changes brought in the Act through Amendment.- Reproduced |
