MAHTI SEVA SAMITI, a registered NGO, MAH/9359/2008/DLE, or MAHA ADHIKAR SANRAKSHAN SAMITI, (MASS ) (Right to Information, Anti-Corruption, Human Rights.

awareness to the under privileged citizens of India with a special focus on women, children, labor force, disabled and weaker section of the society. This committee is encouraging and supporting social development in every community regardless of religion, caste, color, language, region, culture, sex, age, profession, economic strata and physical disability. This committee is not affiliated with any political parties, working all over India against corruption, atrocities, irregularities, illegalities, misuse of government fund, post, power and firmly believes in making corruption free India a reality. Over the past 5 years, MAHITI SEVA SAMITI is using R T I Act and other legal tools as our weapons to unearth corruption and injustice and coordinated hundreds of events in 9 States of our Country to project the very real sense of urgency and unity to confront the crisis corruption and injustice. On December 10, thousands of volunteers and thousands of vehicles will participate in this rally at Aurangabad, Maharashtra and we will project our protest against corruption and injustice in every offices of the Government of India. The memorandum of our committee is as follows. Corruption in India is one of the most heinous alarming threats that our economy has been battling with ever since the independence. From small time clerks to the high profile politicians, commissioners, police inspectors, traffic police, stock exchange brokers, military establishments, recruiters, sportsmen, judiciary and most of the government employees, corruption is seen and felt in every transaction from bottom of the chain till the top. Be it private sector or public sector, Indian people have a tendency of misusing the public position/power in their favor to fulfill their motives and gain personal benefits. Because of this greedy and dirty nature of minting money through corrupt procedure the private Indian companies captured the top spot in encouraging corruption when dealing with international clients in order to grab lucrative contracts. The growth of nation cripples when corrupt officials operate at powerful positions and corruption is the root cause of terror attacks, injustice, negligence and rape. The corruption status of India stands at 94th rank in the Global Corruption Index of 2012, a survey of 133 nations conducted by Transparency International (an anti-graft watchdog)? No tough system to root out the corruption from our country? There are numerous stringent laws like Indian Penal Code, 1860, The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, Prevention of money Laundering Act etc. that have been framed to stop corruption but their proper implementation is missing? Our government is not preparing a tough system to root out the corruption from our country? The present C B I, CV C and A C B are inadequate machinery to prevent corruption so also the punishments for preventing corruption. When the civil society out cried for JAN LOKPAL the government passed the time to prolong the demand for a strong anti-corruption bill? Remedy:
The general public must be made more aware and vigilant to unplug corruption from our nation. All the ministers should go through a screening like competency and honesty test before swearing in as Ministers of our country. No intervention by political leaders in the appointment and transfer of public servants. It leads to corruption and incompetency in public service. Many public servants from senior inspector of police to higher rank officers are very much confident in committing corruption as they are sponsored and protected by local politicians to ministers? All the financial / developmental projects should be well planned, implemented through transparency scanner and should not be delayed. Any kind of negligence or misuse of power by Public Servants should be treated as a crime under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The implementation of laws should be stricter and increased transparency must be brought into action. Totally independent nonpolitical setup like JAN LKOPAL is required to root out corruption. PASS THE JAN LOKPAL IN THIS WINTER SESSION OF THE PARLIAMENT. Amend the punishment to death penalty under the Prevention of Corruption Act and confiscating the entire property of the corrupt can yield deterrent effect. C B I, CV C and A C B should be made as independent separate cadre in central and states to prevent corruption. All the Government contracts must be transparent and guarantee clause must be revoked as and when required. Impart moral principles in schools, and introduction of stringent audits, accountability, effective tracking of corrupt individuals through citizen cards or tax id's will have an impact in tackling corruption. The rural and poor citizens should be taught how to develop financially by them and the Banks should be asked to give credit to poor class without securities to start their own business so their next generation will not pay bribe to get government jobs and thus will not commit corruption to compensate the bribe amount they already paid. The government should provide other infrastructures for the poor people to develop and should implement proper transparency system to reach the declared infrastructures/schemes to the needy people. Atrocity
All the cases against women’s and other serious offences are to be decided within 1 year under fast track courts for the deterrent effect to criminals. R T I Act. Amended the R T I Act with imprisonment, contempt provision for not providing information to public and immediate implementation of penalty is required. All application, appeals under R T I Act should be finalized within 120 days and the information related to life and liberty to be finalized within 144 hours. Co operative sector and private sector should be included under the provision of R T I Act for more transparency. Grant protection to R T I activists and whistleblowers on a phone call or on a letter for security or protection. Consumer Protection
Multinational companies and other private companies, hospitals, insurance companies, builders and cellular service providers are quite often cheating the common public. More stringent consumer protection law is required to protect the interest of the people. Agriculture
‘Not write off of debts’ is the permanent solution to farmer’s problem. The requirement of the day for the farmer is basic infrastructure, water, 50% discount to electricity, fertilizers, pesticides and best quality seeds. If these facilities are provided to farmers the result will be tremendous. Lastly on the occasion of this Vehicle Rally, we, declare that ‘Combating corruption and injustice’ have been and will continue to remain as the top priorities for All India Mahiti Seva Samiti/MASS INDIA. Jai Hind

ILLEGAL POLICE PRESENCE INSIDE METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE COURTS AT MUMBAI– A SERIOUS THREAT TO FAIR TRIAL
I, Adv. S. N. Menchirel, place on public record my strong objection to the routine and unauthorised presence of police men sitting inside the Court Hall of Metropolitan Magistrates, Mumbai, even when no remand, production, or case-related duty exists.
LEGAL POSITION
Police personnel have no vested right to sit inside a court hall. Their presence is permissible only for the production of the accused during remand proceedings as witnesses and for limited court security, and that too without intimidation
Any continuous or permanent presence of police officers inside the courtroom is illegal, unconstitutional, and destructive of judicial independence.
WHY THIS IS ILLEGAL
Such police presence violates Article 14 (Equality before Law), violates Article 21 (Right to Fair Trial & Due Process), creates a climate of fear, especially for accused persons, complainants, and witnesses, undermines the neutrality of the Court, and converts the courtroom into an extension of the police station. Justice must not only be done, but it must also be seen to be done.
ALARMING CONSEQUENCES
Accused hesitate to consult advocates freely, witnesses feel intimidated, prosecutors appear influenced, and courts appear subordinated to the police. This is institutional erosion, not a trivial procedural lapse.
Hence, I demand immediate regulation and restriction of police presence inside court halls,
Strict adherence to constitutional guarantees of fair trial,
Clear judicial directions prohibiting routine police seating in courtrooms,
Accountability for officers misusing authority.
FINAL WORD
Courts are temples of justice, not police outposts.
The Constitution does not permit justice to be delivered under the shadow of uniformed intimidation.
The rule of Law must prevail, not rule by fear.
Issued in public interest to protect judicial independence and constitutional values.
Adv. S. N. Menchirel

यह संदेश उन राजनेताओं के लिए है जो मंत्री बनने के बाद स्वयं को जनता की पहुँच से बाहर समझने लगते हैं। यह मत समझिए कि आप किसी हाथी पर बैठे हैं और साधारण नागरिक आप तक नहीं पहुँच सकते। यह भ्रम न पालिए कि शासन का अर्थ केवल उच्च अधिकारियों से संवाद करना है और आम जनता को केवल जनसभाओं में अपनी लोकप्रियता मापने के लिए याद करना है। ऐसा आचरण नेतृत्व नहीं है, बल्कि हीन भावना से उपजी एक गंभीर भूल है।

एक अच्छे मंत्री को हमेशा जनता से जुड़े रहना चाहिए। उसे प्रत्येक क्षेत्र का दौरा करना चाहिए, लोगों की समस्याएँ प्रत्यक्ष रूप से सुननी चाहिए और नागरिकों को यह एहसास कराना चाहिए कि वह उन्हीं में से एक है, उनसे ऊपर बैठा हुआ कोई शासक नहीं। लोकतंत्र में सत्ता विरासत में नहीं मिलती; वह जनता से उधार ली जाती है और जनता उसे किसी भी समय वापस ले सकती है।

अंत में, जब तक जीवन पर वास्तविक और सिद्ध खतरा न हो, तब तक अत्यधिक गनमैन सुरक्षा से बचना चाहिए। आप राजा नहीं हैं, आप एक लोकसेवक हैं। लोकतंत्र में वही जनता जो आपको चुनती है, आपको हटाने की शक्ति भी रखती है। इस सत्य को याद रखिए और विनम्रता, सुलभता तथा जवाबदेही के साथ शासन कीजिए।

Constitution Day and the Need for Universal Awareness of Rights
Constitution Day, also known as “Samvidhan Divas”, is celebrated every year on 26th November to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. On 26th November 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted our Constitution, which came into effect on 26th January 1950.
The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, through its notification dated 19 November 2015, formally declared 26th November as Constitution Day to promote constitutional values among citizens.
Among all fundamental rights, the Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression is one of the most crucial pillars of our democracy. Equally important is the Right to Information, which empowers citizens to ask questions, demand accountability, and make informed decisions in public life.
The Present Reality
Despite RTI being one of the strongest transparency laws in the world, only around 2% of India’s 150 crore population actively uses the RTI Act. A major reason is lack of education, awareness, and understanding of how the government functions.
A democracy can function meaningfully only when its citizens are informed. Without proper information, how can voters exercise their freedom of expression or choose the correct and competent candidates in elections? Blind faith in names, slogans, or religious symbolism—whether “Ram” or “Sita”—cannot replace informed decision-making.
The Need for a National Mission
To strengthen constitutional values and empower every citizen, the Government of India should adopt a Five-Year Nationwide Awareness and Literacy Plan aimed at:
Making 100% citizens aware of their fundamental rights and duties

Educating people—especially those who studied below 10th standard—about:
The functioning of government institutions
How to seek information under the RTI Act
How democratic processes work
How to participate responsibly in public life
Promoting civic literacy, legal literacy, and constitutional values at all levels
Why This Is Essential
Without awareness, education, and access to information:
The freedom of expression becomes symbolic, not real
Elections cannot reflect truly informed choices
Citizens remain dependent instead of empowered
The government risks drifting from democracy to monarchy-like governance, where only a few have knowledge and power
A Constitution is meaningful only when every citizen understands it, uses it, and defends it.

नए श्रम क़ानून/श्रम संहिता (UNDER NEW LABOUR CODE) के तहत अब नियोक्ता 3 शिफ्टों को घटाकर 2 शिफ्टों में बदल सकते हैं, क्योंकि:
12 घंटे की ड्यूटी कानूनी रूप से अनुमत है,
हायर-एंड-फायर की सीमा को शिथिल कर दिया गया है,
हड़ताल करने का अधिकार लगभग समाप्त कर दिया गया है,
यूनियनों को कमजोर बना दिया गया है,
निरीक्षण और प्रवर्तन प्रणाली ढीली कर दी गई है,
नियोक्ताओं को अधिकतम लचीलापन दे दिया गया है।
यह पूरी व्यवस्था मज़दूरों के विरुद्ध झुकी हुई है और नियोक्ताओं के लिए सबसे बड़े छिपे हुए लाभों में से एक है। दुर्भाग्य से मज़दूर केवल गधे की तरह मेहनत करना जानते हैं; उन्हें अपनी वास्तविक गरिमा और मूल्य का ज्ञान ही नहीं है।

Our Story

MAHTI SEVA SAMITI, a registered NGO, MAH/9359/2008/DLE, is a MAHA ADHIKAR SANRAKSHAN SAMITI, (MASS) (Right to Information, Anti-Corruption, Human Rights, Consumer Protection, and for Good Governance) constituted under Bombay Public Trust Act on 2nd July 2008. The committee is working voluntarily all over India with dedication to aware the people about their Rights and to provide legal assistance, awareness to the under privileged citizens of India with a special focus on women, children, labor force, disabled and weaker section of the society. This committee is encouraging and supporting social development in every community regardless of religion, caste, color, language, region, culture, s*x, age, profession, economic strata and physical disability.
