Social Justice?

CBI reports that it has registered a case of disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs 3.15 crore against a lady IAS officer who is working as a Director in the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Govt. of India. This lady is a 2000 batch UP cadre IAS officer from Karnataka who was earlier Secretary to the Minister of External Affairs, SM Krishna. What is 3 crores for an IAS officer in these days and don't they also need social justice and empowerment?

CBI has also registered a Preliminary Enquiry against the hi-tech former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandra Babu Naidu. And this involves thousands of Crores! Social Justice for a Chief Minister is certainly a little higher than that for an IAS officer!
