Poll Analysis | Bribe in Judiciary
The success of democracy is to a great extent dependent on the efficiency of the Judicial Department. What if the judicial department is caught up in corrupt?
As a respondent on our website commented, “Judiciary is one of the most important pillars of India. But the virus of corruption has spoiled the root of India's Judicial Department. Where should common man go for justice?”
We asked our readers, “Have you bribed any officer from the Judicial Department to get your work done?” 55 percent of the people who took the poll admitted that they had to bribe the government officers from the Judicial Department to get their work done.
Every week we get reports from people who describe their experiences in which they are forced by the government officers to pay money.
