Will our autorities and judiciary save THIS HONEST CIVIL SERVANT? If not others should be ready to face similiar situation at the hands of corrupt Politicians
Nothing to surprise beaurocrate and politicians have hands in glove and they share power and wealth as well as revenue. THey are same side of coin. People show their literary scolarly philosophies on what harm has been done to the democracy. We must not forget all political parties including BJP, Communist have failed to the expectations of the people and democratic principles set by the western world and therefore we are still recognised as BANANA REPUBLIC OF INDIA.

I agree inrajsthan corruption and mismanagement has crossed all past boundries
I think there is high-handedness because EC did not toe the ruling party. Since the CM is a party in this case, punishing EC is absolutely wrong. The case should have been handed over to the judiciary. The legislature can not and should not be executive in a democracy. We are in a sorry state of affairs, to say the least.
Indeed the incident will go down in history with shame. Putting some body behind bars in custody is the option available to Judiciary and not to the lawmakers. They can only enquire prima facie about facts pertaining to the assembley operations. The Lawmakers cannot pass judgement on any one excepting themselves as their own actions inside the assembly is not sub judice. They should have referred this matter to the courts for action under law. Otherwise if they were afraid of other facts spilling out of the bag they should have only admonished the erring public servant. Some one needs to put in a PIL against this action of the Maha Assembly so that other lawmakers all over the country should not take up judiciary's role upon themselves. Mr Deshmukh should be brought to the court if the fact is proven that it was he who tried to pressurise the delimitation committee on the Latur consituency. Otherwise this will pose way for all ministers to bull dose their bureaucrats for their suggestions, advise or rulings on cases by discussing it in the assembly and then hauling up the concerned for pressure tactics.
People who have been critical are breaching priveleges of the priveleged. Once we elect them, we can't criticize them for whatever they speak/decide/do within the secured zone for what they decide becomes the sanctum opinion of the people (and not vice versa as we wish) and still we have to believe it's rule of the people by the people and for the people!!
It is clear that the punishment has been meted out for not responding to the privileges committe's queries. One does not know what was the issue regarding delimitation. One cannot understand why the poll chief did not appear before the privileges committee. This seems to be highhandedness on his part. As for immunity, there should be no immunity from due process of law for anyone. Proceedings are, theoretically at least, to arrive at the truth and why should any one have immunity from that? People at every level must be responsible, answerable. There are too many people expecting to be above the law and exploit others for their own pleasure. Celebrities, politicians, industrialists, businessmen, artists, just everyone wants to be free fromthe clutches of law. That is to be able to get away with murder, if necessary. Of coursse, this is a general statement of an extreme case, not applicable specifically to Mr. Nand Lal. We also have to appreciate that the verdict was accepted by the house unanymously.

If there is any merit in the argument of the legislature it should have been taken up with the judiciary. The legislative wing should NOT have the right to put a election commission officer, that too of the rang of State Chief Electoral Officer, behind bars.
It is even more strange how such an act of legislature pass with unanimity? Why no one opposed it?
