Consent orders are like the curate egg - good in parts. To the extent that they bring closure to cases that would otherwise meander through the judicial maze for months, if not years, consent orders are good. They offer a pragmatic way of penalising-and-yetnot-quite-punishing offenders against whom it is hard to prove definite violations in our kind of system of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence that goes by the maxim, 'innocenttill-proven-guilty.

Verbatim |
 There was for years an old "social contract" between politicians and business. This provided for complex rules and regulations that made it impossible to do business honestly in many fields. But it was possible to do business dishonestly, through pay-offs . Some called this "efficient corruption" : politicians took money and delivered clearances. However, the anti-corruption mood of the courts, and new fears of getting caught (like Pawan Bansal) have ended "efficient corruption" . Politicians may still take money but not deliver on clearances , what some call "inefficient corruption" that freezes investment and growth. The old social contract has broken down.
