Law vs Ethics


Law is the set of principles which a particular community recognises as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of the penalties. 
        Morals are the set guidelines which define what is morally right or wrong.

Law is enforced by the ruling body or the community, state or bodies of a country. 
        There is no specific authority to enforce the moral code of conduct.

Laws are created by the country or the state. Moral has no direct relationship to the constitution. 

Law creates the constitution of a country. Morals do not have a direct relation to the making of the constitution.

Law is influenced by morality. Moral emerges as the ideal set of rules.

There are direct punishments for those who violate the law. However, there is no direct punishment for those who violate morals.

There is a direct and strict punishment for those who do not follow laws. However, it is up to the person himself if he would like to follow morals or not.

Ombudsman: Administrative Law

by Harmanjot Kaur OMBUDSMAN You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. With the popular quote of Gandhi i.e. hate the sin, not the sinner. We see that there are various underlying reasons for the increase in corruption. However, with the evolution of citizen-centric government, the evolution of concepts such as probity and integrity; Ombudsman came into the picture. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. ( Nicholas Clairmont) Under the supervision of Anna Hazare, we see the evolution of the Lokayukta and Lokpal Act, which doomed as the bud flourishing into a garland binding people together who would fight against the menace of corruption. We observe that in order to keep an eye on the increasing instances of corruption, there are various provisions laid down by the government. One such system includes the system of Lokpal and Lokayukta. Lokpal works as the chief auth...
