Laws like Labor laws, mining laws are not practiced a lot, because clients prefer the hands down under route. If there wasnt corruption, Clients would approach lawyers to actually follow the law.
- I represent business houses based from abroad and from India
- The work they do is quite prestigious, but requires permission and clearances from various government officers.
- This is where some govt officers demands bribes.
- The foreign companies cannot pay bribes because they will get into trouble in their home country. The Indian companies pay up and do it in a way that no paper trail is established.
- Some examples of people my clients have bribed:
A) A lower-level police officer (non-IPS) bought 2 luxury flats abroad
B) An officer from a minor UPSC service bought a 2 crore BMW for his son’s 18th birthday. The officer himself is from a village background and is from the OBC community. Today a millionaire. His son later went abroad to study.
C) A mid-level bank officer got his son’s fees abroad paid in full (for both undergrad and postgrad).
As for more senior officers like IAS and IPS, well, you can just about imagine how much they have made and their demands.
So, better be grateful to those bureaucrats for accomodating paper pushers like us.
I have a few post nominals. Not to brag. But that helps.
I have a contrarian opinion about everything.
I am too bruque to be a bureaucrat, not too much to be an elected representative.
I practise in armchair expert opinions
It does not take long for political parties to take note
The whole senior junior nonsense put me off.
