The Court made these observations in a case relating to misappropriation and embezzlement of Rs. 385 crore meant for uplift of the \u2018\u2018Matang\u2019 community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Terming corruption a \u2018hydra headed monster\u2019, the Court remarked\u00a0 that it is high time the citizens\u00a0 come together to tell their Governments that they have had enough. The Court asked how this huge amount of Rs. 385 crore will come back and further observed that for the last\u00a0 two decades, corruption has become the order of the day and sordid state of affairs; whereas the taxpayers\u2019 are merely looking at this grim situation. The Court asked whether the taxpayers pay the money to the Government for such kind of acrobatics being played.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The single bench further opined that\u00a0 was surprising that the Unions of Central or State Government employees, whether politically affiliated or otherwise, make demonstrations for demanding\u00a0 the application of VII Pay Commission, but they do not condemn, outcast or demonstrate against their counterpart bureaucracy indulging in corruption. On the contrary, they provide support. The Court finally dismissed the anticipatory bail application of the applicant.
