Disputes among Public Sector Undertakings

The given arrangement, as per the ruling of the Apex Court till now, had been that the disputes arising between different public undertakings can be referred to the Committee of Union Secretaries for resolving their inter-se disputes. But looking to the delay and inefficient functioning of the afore-said Committee, the Apex court, namely, the Supreme Court of India through its Five-member Constitutional Bench has reversed its earlier decision and enabled the undertakings to take up the matter directly to the apex Court hereafter (Dinamani of Friday, February 18, 2011).

It is no doubt a fine reversal of the decision for the better. But as a retired bureaucrat I feel pity and bemoan the system losing its importance in the given context. It reflects very badly on the top officials of the Government of India at this juncture. This is a sign of continuous degradation in the style of administration one is forced to confront and experience with no justification whatsoever.
