#PublicContracts.....The first of all the finance ministry, the law ministry and the Supreme court along with the PMO should meet to set up a system of Fast track courts; a governing body for mutual settlements of disputes. And above all a strong vigilance is in need for putting an to all type corruptions.

Recently i came to know that the 7.5 acre land of the sewree plant Balmer Lawrie is being planned to be sold to a private property dealer; when asked about this the management directly told that it was a Modi government policy and they have nothing to do about this. So i would like the government authorities to clear this issue. P.G.Shashindren B.J.P PARTY WORKER

It is good that the government has taken up such an initiative to resolve the issues relevant to this page. However, there should a bench of the Tribunal in each state and the only court of appeal should be the Supreme Court (provided it grants the leave to appeal). It is also imperative for the tribunal to be bound by the Code of Civil Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act. Otherwise, the members of the tribunal can pronounce biased judgments. #PublicContracts #Finance.

good points are faster proceedings and judgement , the periodic reports and the replacement of chairperson. but i feel the bill would be fruitful to much more people if it extends to ration shops also . the 2 clauses in the bill made me presume this,sorry if i am wrong.bill does not extend to mere supply of goods and it specifies the parties to sign the contract which i presume does not include implied and quasi contracts.if this is included it would help poor to get unadultered goods

#PublicContracts The "Decision to be by majority" part in the draft bill seems to be the place where the decisions will be taken against common public people.I am not sure whether this is the way all the tribunals works.But the way the green tribunal handled the Sterlite Industries (INDIA) Ltd. VS TNPCB Ors. case made it unclear that how it works...
