We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Finance --- crucial for economic growth
Commerce --- has a say in FTAs and legal sector liberalisation, plus stance on trade and IPRs affects certain law firms
IT --- work for certain law firms
Home --- CBI probes naturally mean more work for Senior Advocates, but will the CBI follow through with its enquiry into a certain MP, which has entangled a tier 1 firm? That's the million dollar question
Education--- Certain university reforms affect law schools
Infra ministries (Rail, Road, Aviation etc) --- For some law firms, these are the most important ministries. If certain tenders are handed to certain business houses, their law firms get a piece of the pie too. Some of these tenders are worth thousands of crores.
MHA of course has cadre control of IPS and therefore operational influence at CBI and IB. It also controls NIA.
MCA should matter as well since it has SFIO under it although its prowess is anybody's guess.
Why in all these years no govt (irrespective of political colour) has ever brought in a specific legislation for CBI, IB and RAW. Maybe the swirly alphabet soup of agencies is actually favourable to all.
I am a BJP supporter but next time I am voting NOTA.
