The judgment of the Madras High Court on November 14 in the case of Sunitha versus Additional Chief Secretary to Government & Ors. is of increased significance for two reasons. Firstly, it acknowledges the transformation of the welfare State into a police State that has scant regard for personal liberties of citizens, and believes in slapping preventive detention laws in a manner as to shock the conscience of the ordinary citizen; secondly, it admits the further manner in which the citizen is wronged by the courtroom delays that only seem to rub salt into injury instead of redressing it forthwith.

Like other incongruities, the Narendra Modi government once again has resorted to the same tactics and made Reserve Bank of India answerable for implementing the Prime Minister’s personal decision to demonetise the currency.

The government may disagree, India’s economic performance in the last eight years has proved to be rather lacklustre. It has been facing a real challenge from the ever expanding black economy, substantially eating up the revenue income of both the national and state governments.

The government appears to be clueless about the size of the black economy in the absence of a reliable assessment of the situation. However, the rectification of the system may prove to be an uphill task as it will call for policing on politicians in power, the police and government officials who are behind the black economy’s prosperity.
