“You are working as an executive in a nationalized bank for several years. One day one of your close colleagues tells you that her father is suffering from heart disease and needs surgery immediately to survive. She also tells you that she has no insurance and the operation will cost about Rs. 10 lakh. You are also aware of the fact that her husband is no more and that she is from a lower middle class family. You are empathetic about her situation. However, apart from expressing your sympathy, you do not have the resources to fund her. A few weeks later, you ask her about the well-being of her father and she informs you about his successful surgery and that he is recovering. She then confides in you that the bank manager was kind enough to facilitate the release of Rs. 10 lakh from a dormant recount of someone to pay for the operation with a promise that it should be confidential and be repaid at the earliest. She has already started paying it back and will continue to do no until it is all returned. (a) What are the ethical issues involved ? (b) Evaluate the behavior or the bank manager from an ethical point of view. (c) How would you react to the situation ?”

The Madras High Court recently granted the Tamil Nadu government an additional four weeks to reach a final decision regarding the long-pending revision of state bus fares. With fares last fixed in 2018 at ₹0.58 per km when diesel prices stood at ₹67.50 per litre, state transport corporations face acute financial strain amid escalating operational costs. This judicial intervention highlights the delicate institutional balance between ensuring affordable public transport for vulnerable segments and maintaining the fiscal sustainability of state-run transit undertakings.
