Nagpur: In an interesting observation, Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has said that citizens should not pay taxes if the government fails to curb corruption.
The bench observed that citizens should raise voice against the menace of corruption and refuse to pay taxes by launching a non-cooperation movement.
Hearing a funds embezzlement case, the court observed it’s high time the government and power circles realised the anguish of tax-payers.
The court termed corruption as a “hydra-headed monster".
This comes just days after India continued to be at the 76th spot in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index for 2015. India’s position was same in 2014 as well.
