The Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 defines who a public servant is and punishes public servants involved in corruption or bribery. The law counts the possession of ‘disproportionate assets’ by a public servant as criminal misconduct.
Corruption by people in positions of power has always been in the news. From the Jeep scandal in 1948, to the Fodder scam and more recently the Jayalalitha-Sasikala case, misuse of public office for personal gains has been constant and consistent. So, what happens if a public servant misuses their position in power? What if a public servant uses their office to gain assets for themselves? There are laws on this, though convictions are few and far between.
