This should reduce the chances of a false charge being brought against you. Moreover, you would need to be charged by a competent court and trial proceedings should have started. It is not enough that another person files charges against you; the police should have investigated, matter should have gone to court, trail should have started. It may not be very easy for someone to maliciously do all these.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029609535044392885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125821.post-76919019094694300052007-02-17T09:05:00.000+05:302007-02-17T09:05:00.000+05:30This is a very nice intiative.But I am curious ---...This is a very nice intiative.<BR/>But I am curious --- does this mean that if I were to stand for elections tomorrow to the Parliament or show interest in doing so (and let us just assume here that I have the popularity to give the sitting MP a run for his monney) would charging me with a criminal case (and we all know it can be done if you know the right people) be an easy way to get me out of the race ?<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the multiple parantheses...but I hope you get my point.<BR/>I am sure this was considered and there is a way this situation can be avoided..but I am just curious.Sridhar Vankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639023916483894164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125821.post-81932019054905214232007-02-16T13:26:00.000+05:302007-02-16T13:26:00.000+05:30Hey, Just wanted to let you know that I totally di...Hey, <BR/><BR/>Just wanted to let you know that I totally disagree with anonymous.
