Public can sue govt officials for inaction

News:

  • Currently, no law exists under which government employees can be prosecuted or held liable for inaction.
  • “Failure to act is an actionable wrong as much as any malafide action by such public servant for which the aggrieved person can seek damages for all the physical, mental, emotional, psychological, social and financial loss and sufferings caused to him. For this, a public servant would be liable in his personal capacity,” Additional District Judge Kamini Lau said.
