1st Class Magistracy powers should be their with the Distt Govt whetger there is LGO system or not coz cases like ptice control,RTA issues,encrochments,adulteration in eatables, Revenue collection, maintenance of G law n.order can b ensured smoothly with these powers...this doesnt adds executive with judiciary it is just to enforce local laws effectively

yes sir you are right ..the magistracy powers should be with the DC, and the problem with LGO was that it was not clear that who was heading the magistracy, although the ex-commissioner's power of magistracy were taken from him but no other person was made in charge of it . in any case these powers cannot be with an elected representative , since he will be under too much pressure of the people and he cannot make wise decisions, and if he succumbs to pressure of the people then he will take impartial decisions.
i read somewhere " imagine if you have to write a will and instead of transferring your wealth to your children you decide to transfer it to your grandchildren, then how would your children feel? " this i think was the main problem with the LGO ,since the provincial government was left out of the loop and its main aim was to offset the value of provincial governments.
those who say that under LGO , the DC has to report to a NAZIM , must know that if DC reports to chief secretary then secretary reports to CM. CM who is elected by MPAs and then MPAs are elected by people. so in the end the power belongs to the people. whether it is through the indirect loop or the direct loop.
I would want some more elaboration from your side against the LGO system. It should be against the system and not against the nazims. because if the people are corrupt then no matter what the system is , the people will always find a way to do corruption.
the reason I am asking for your guidance is because you are in the field and you know about the pros and cons of both the systems
thanks again sir..
