Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Can a PIL be a PILL ?



Meaning :
 
Can a Public Interest Litigation ( PIL ) become the MAGIC CAPSULE ( PILL ) to permanently rid our country of the menace of BLACK MONEY  ?


Some years back , someone filed a PIL in the Supreme Court to instruct the Central Government to appoint a SIT ( Special Investigation Team ) to look into the matter of the BLACK MONEY



SC admitted that PIL and in 2011 , asked the government to appoint a SIT


For many years , UPA government did nothing


Then on 23 May 2014 , Supreme Court, granted one week’s time to the Centre to set up an SIT, to monitor all black money cases as per its direction.


In its very first Cabinet meeting ( 26 May 2014 ? ) , the new NDA government appointed a SIT , headed by Justice M B Shah



 “ SIT will prepare a comprehensive action plan including the creation of necessary institutional structure that can enable the country to fight a battle against generation of unaccounted money,” the terms of reference for the SIT said.

The SIT, according to the terms of reference ,
“ shall report to the court and shall inform the court about all the major developments, by filing periodic status reports from time to time, and for this purpose, the Union of India shall accord all the necessary financial material, legal, diplomatic resources both inside and outside the country to the SIT ”.

It is quite possible that the following MAJOR DEVELOPMENT , escaped the notice of the SIT :

TO CRACK DOWN ON THE MENACE OF BLACK MONEY , AUSTRALIA HAS DECIDED TO EMBED HI-TECH NANO CHIPS IN ITS CURRENCY NOTES OF $ 50 / $ 100

{ Our SIT = Australia’s “ Federal Government’s Black Economy Task Force “ }


But is it possible that the SIT follows up with our own scientists to evaluate the feasibility of my following suggestion ?


NETWORKOF CURRENCY NOTES ?  [  03  Nov  2015  ]



Or , would SIT want to wait till someone files a fresh PIL in the Supreme Court , based on my following blog / email ?
