Law Commission's Report On Protection Of Informers For Curbing Corruption
New Delhi: January 21, 2003 The Law Commission of India, in its 179th report on the Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Informers, has recommended some measures to check the evil of corruption in the Government through enactment of a law titled "The Public Interest Disclosure (Protection of Informers) Bill". The Commission has stated that corruption has become a global malaise and for its eradication, whistle blowing laws have been enacted by the United Kingdom, the USA and Australia. Corrupt practices violate human rights and basic freedom and affect the development of a nation. It was, therefore, necessary to protect informers in order to eliminate corruption. While considering such a report, the Commission made an in-depth study and kept in view the needs and circumstances of our country. In this connection, the Commission also referred to its 161st report on Central Vigilance Commission and Allied Bodies in 1998 and 166th report on the Corrupt Public Servants (Forfeiture of Property) Bill in 1999 to tackle this problem. The Bill is intended to encourage disclosure of information relating to the conduct of any public servant involving the commission of an offence under Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 or any other law for the time being in force. It is also designed to check abuse of official position or mal-administration and protect the person making such disclosure. The recommendations follow a request from the Central Vigilance Commission with reference to a speech of the Prime Minister Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee condemning rampant corruption and highlighting the principle of "zero tolerance".
