Government Sanction for Prosecuting Dishonest Officials as a Shield for Corruption
1. Protective Shield: The requirement of government sanction for prosecuting dishonest officials often serves as a barrier to combating corruption. This procedural hurdle can delay or obstruct legal actions against corrupt practices. For instance, in the Aadhar data leak case, delays in obtaining sanction for prosecution have hampered swift legal responses.
2. Bureaucratic Delays: Bureaucratic red tape in obtaining sanction can be exploited to avoid accountability. The Vijay Mallya case illustrates how delays in sanctioning prosecution have allowed prolonged financial misconduct.
3. Accountability Evasion: The requirement can be misused to shield corrupt officials from legal consequences, thereby perpetuating corruption. For example, allegations against senior officials in the Delhi Police have faced delays due to this requirement.
Conclusion: While intended to prevent misuse of authority, the sanction requirement often acts as a protective shield for corruption, delaying justice and undermining accountability.
