Each and every discussion on it, every word written about it has been an inspiration, for over a decade now, from the initial days when Smitu Kothari and a few others initiated discussions on the Parliamentary Oversight on International Financial Institutions (IFIs) in the mid 2000s. It was a result of years of struggles against and engagement with the World Bank, ADB and other IFIs by a large number of people’s movements and other civil society organisations on several issues, notably the negative impact on people and environment in the projects financed by the IFIs. Naming each and every organization and individual in this document would be impossible. However, we acknowledge that this document is a result of the collective work of many over several years. Many have tirelessly worked to collect information on the debates and discussions about this issue facing a dispassionate response from libraries across Delhi, including the Parliamentary library. They include Supriya, Pravin, Krishna, Rajesh, Rajat, Mayuresh, Naushad, Shibayan, Shivani, Abida, Ayushi, Sahana, Priyadarshi and Pallavi. At different stages we benefited from discussions with, and contributions from Vijayan, Sanjeev, Madhuresh, Rajendra Ravi, Soumya, Chad, Jelson, Pragya, Anuradha and others. Manisha helped editing the draft report in record time. A big thank you to all. 5 Introduction Consistent with the Busan process, explore the possibility of producing and providing guidelines for donor organisations to support their work within recipient countries by engaging with parliamentarians, so that the design of projects are responsive to the countries development needs and adequate parliamentary oversight can be exerted over donor funded programs and projects. -- Resolution at the Global Conference of Parliamentarians against Corruption, 2 February 2013, Manila, Philippines. Let us do the arithmetic of our external accounting under the public glare. There has been too much of hush-hush since 1984. There has been no accountability and the same set of politicians and civil servants who have been responsible for pauperising the nation continue to hog the center-stage. -- Dr. Ashok Mitra, Former Finance Minister, Government of West Bengal (in an interview with Venkatesh Athreya, Frontline, 6 February 2015). …5 billion SDR arrangement about to be concluded between the IMF and the Government of India…The 69-page, closely-typed document has been made available to this correspondent by one of the 22 Executive Directors of the IMF. He explained that he was breaking the confidentiality rule not in order to prejudice the loan, but solely because he was persuaded that a transaction of this scope and size by any country deserved to be “discussed in full by its Parliament, press and public”. {Emphasis is in original} -- N. Ram, Former Editor, The Hindu, Conditions which IMF will impose for loan, The Hindu, 16 October 1981. I want to emphasise just this, that this loan or the agreement for the loan, is a line of credit. It does not force us to borrow unless it is for the national interest. There is absolutely no question of our accepting any programme, which is incompatible with our policy, declared and accepted by Parliament…It is inconceivable that we should accept assistance from any external agency on terms, which are not in conformity with our declared national policy. -- Indira Gandhi, Former Prime Minister of India, in a speech to the Indian Parliament. Lok Sabha Debates, 2 December 1981, New Delhi, IN: GOI Press. National Democratic Institute, a democratic think-tank based in the United States, defines Legislative/Parliamentary Oversight as, “the obvious follow-on activity linked to law making. After participating in law-making, the legislature’s main role is to see whether laws are effectively implemented and whether, in fact, they address and correct the problems as intended by their drafters.”1 2 Parliamentary oversight can thus be considered a fundamental and critical oversight body in advancing transparency, accountability, and responsible governance within a democratic polity. 1"National"Democratic"Institute,"“Strengthening"Legislative"Capacity"in"Legislative<Executive" Relations”,"Legislative*Research*Series,"Paper"#6,"Washington"DC,"2000,"p."19,"accessible"at:"" http://www.mickikaminska.com/GOPAC/Docs/Global/Strengthening%20Legislative%20Capacity%20 in%20Legislative<Executive%20Relations%20<%20NDI.pdf"" 2"In"this"report"the"term"Legislature"is"often"and"interchangeably"used"with"Parliament."While"in" India"Legislatures"are"supreme"representative"governing"bodies"of"the"State"Government," Parliament"is"the"supreme"representative"governing"body"at"the"Centre." 6 International Financial Institutions’ (IFIs), such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Asian Development Bank, etc., engage with a country employing a range of policy interventions and advancing technical and monetary assistance that impact large swathes of a country's economic policy and financial management systems. Besides, they play a strong and influential role in shaping governance interventions, in addition to influencing particular types of developments in industry, infrastructure, urbanisation, agriculture, health, education, power sector, finance, etc. All these are generally promoted as interventions and investments that advance poverty alleviation programmes, industrial and infrastructure development financing and also financial bailouts in times of economic distress which are associated with stern austerity measures. Several decades of global experience with IFI led economic interventions provide extensive evidence that the projected objectives have not been delivered. Quite often, the impacts of such interventions has resulted in tearing prevailing social and economic fabric of societies, causing massive economic slumps affecting working classes, and inequitably promoting imprudent and inhumane governance systems that protect international capital and investments over fundamental rights. Countries across Asia, Africa and South America, and more recently even Greece in Europe, have suffered serious consequences by embracing IFI initiated economic policies and programmes. Despite such extensive evidence of the systemic failures of IFI led economic and financial polices, the public at large is given to believe that these are necessary for a safer and secure world. This is largely the outcome of a systematic effort to disinform the public's understanding by limiting, or even actively denying them, their due right to being truly literate and aware of the nature of the long term implications of IFI led interventions. As a part of this process, communities and peoples representatives are not involved in directly engaging with decision making pertaining to IFI led economic and fiscal policy decisions. Such deliberately built-in opaqueness in IFI led economic policy making is in many ways designed to protect the politically powerful, who comply with such directives of the IFIs in shaping national economies in particular ways. Influenced entirely by neo-liberal economic policies that ensure protection for the powerful and influential and their access to and control of capital, IFI led economic policies give no room for any other way of thinking for building national and regional economies with the interests of common people being central. The outcome, invariably, is a process of collusion between politically powerful decision makers and the beneficiaries, largely large corporations, the rich and powerful financial institutions, and the associated in- transparency breeds deep corrupt practices.

The central inquiry seeks to answer the contemporaneous question of whether Article 142 can be invoked to make an order or pass a decree which is inconsistent or in express conflict with the substantive provisions of a statute. To aid this inquiry, cases where the apex court has granted a decree of divorce by mutual consent in exercise of Article 142(1) have been examined extensively. Thus the note also examines the efficacy and indispensible nature of this power in nebulous cases where the provisions of a statute are insufficient for solving contemporary problems or doing complete justice. INTRODUCTION An exemplary provision, Article 142(1) of the Constitution of India envisages that the Supreme Court in the exercise of its jurisdiction may pass such enforceable decree or order as is necessary for doing ‘complete justice’ in any cause or matter pending before it. While the jurisprudence surrounding other provisions of the Constitution has developed manifold, rendering them more concrete and stable interpretations, Article 142(1) is far from tracing this trend. The nature and scope of power contemplated in Article 142(1) has continued to be mooted imaginatively.

  • Major Scams in India Since 1947: a Brief Sketch
    © 2015 JETIR July 2015, Volume 2, Issue 7 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Major Scams in India since 1947: A Brief Sketch Naveen Kumar Research Scholar Deptt. of History B.R.A.B.U. Muzaffarpur "I would go to the length of giving the whole congress a decent burial, rather than put up with the corruption that is rampant." - Mahatma Gandhi. This was the outburst of Mahatma Gandhi against rampant corruption in Congress ministries formed under 1935 Act in six states in the year 1937.1 The disciples of Gandhi however, ignored his concern over corruption in post-Independence India, when they came to power. Over fifty years of democratic rule has made the people so immune to corruption that they have learnt how to live with the system even though the cancerous growth of this malady may finally kill it. Politicians are fully aware of the corruption and nepotism as the main reasons behind the fall of Roman empire,2 the French Revolution,3 October Revolution in Russia,"4 fall of Chiang Kai-Sheik Government on the mainland of China5 and even the defeat of the mighty Congress party in India.6 But they are not ready to take any lesson from the pages of history. JEEP PURCHASE (1948) The history of corruption in post-Independence India starts with the Jeep scandal in 1948, when a transaction concerning purchase of jeeps for the army needed for Kashmir operation was entered into by V.K.Krishna Menon, the then High Commissioner for India in London with a foreign firm without observing normal procedure.7 Contrary to the demand of the opposition for judicial inquiry as suggested by the Inquiry Committee led by Ananthsayanam Ayyangar, the then Government announced on September 30, 1955 that the Jeep scandal case was closed.
