The President of India is paid Rs 1,50,000 a month while the Chief Justice of India Rs 1,00,000. A Supreme Court Judge Rs 90, 000 and a High Court Judge takes home Rs 80,000 a month. The Attorney General of India is paid equivalent to the salary of a Supreme Court Judge which is Rs 90,000.
But the Advocate General of Goa Atmaram Nadkarni out beats them all, while he gets paid upto a whopping eight lakhs a month. Besides this he also pockets Rs 75,000 for every official visit to New Delhi. This gross anomaly defies all logic and is a fit case to be examined by the Comptroller* *and Auditor General (CAG). Public funds cannot be allowed to be squandered in this high-handed manner. What is further very objectionable is that Atmaram Nadkarni despite being the Advocate General of Goa continues to be directly and indirectly the legal Messiah for the Mining companies who have been accused of gross illegal activities over the years. Professional ethics have been consigned to the dumps in broad day light. Goa cannot afford to have Atmaram. Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372
