The Supreme Court has expressed concern over growing corruption in government machinery, particularly in the Income Tax, Sales Tax and Excise Departments. A Bench of Justices Markandeya Katju and T S Thakur said, it is very unfortunate that there is no control over corruption in the country adding that nothing moves without money. The apex court made the remarks while admitting an appeal filed by the CBI challenging the acquittal of an Income Tax Inspector Mohanlal Sharma by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Additional Solicitor General P P Malhotra, appearing for the CBI, submitted that Sharma was acquitted by the High Court despite the trial court holding him guilty of demanding and accepting a bribe of 10,000 rupees from an IT assessee. He was earlier sentenced to one year Rigorous Imprisonment by the trial court.
