Political and bureaucratic corruption in India are major concerns. A 2010 study conducted in India found that more than 75% of Indians had first-hand experience of paying bribes or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices successfully.Officials often steal state property. In cities and villages throughout India, consisting of municipal and other government officials, elected politicians, judicial officers, real estate developers and law enforcement officials, acquire, develop and sell land in illegal ways.There have been several cases of collusion of officials of the income tax department of India for a favorable tax treatment in return for bribes.According to Transparency International, judicial corruption in India is attributable to factors such as "delays in the disposal of cases, shortage of judges and complex procedures, all of which are exacerbated by a preponderance of new laws".We are trying to highlight few cases in this edition which are still unresolved to the readers to bring awareness of corruption in India.CONTENTS1.
