Mr V B Singh, Hi, My heart goes out to you. It is indeed a catch-22 situation and, I suspect, it was meant to be that way. When our legislators make laws, they are only playing to the galleries; they DO NOT mean to bring any real, meaningful improvement.
A recent case in hand is the Bhopal Gas tragedy. First, the powers-that-be let Warren Anderson escape, and now the same people (atleast the same party) are crying hoarse for harsher regulations ! Is it not playing to the gallery ? So much for India Shining ! Mukesh Srivastava B Tech (IIT Bombay), MMM (JBIMS) Mumbai -400 053. INDIA.

The resolution is available at http://cvc.nic. in/whistle. pdf Undersigned has sent a complaint dated 03.06.2010 against someone by Speed Post to Secretary, CVC . Section Incharge has informed by ordinary post (without mentioning any address on the cover of envelop) that since the identity has been disclosed on the cover of envelop, no protection would be granted and undersigned would not be regarded as whistleblower. This is catch twenty situation and running away from responsibility. If the complaint is sent by ordinary post to CVC then it may take plea that the complaint is not received and its officials may disclose the identity of complainant endangering his life and id it is sent by Speed Post / Registered post, then writing of the addrress by sender is manadatory. It is not understood why such resolution are framed. If CVC is unable to protect whistleblower and contain corruption, it should admit the same instead of passing the blame on complainant. Since it is an issue of public importance, it is being posted to alert the members of the group not to take risk by sending complaint under PIDPI to CVC. Regards, VB Singh
