Abstract
A whistleblower is a person who exposes any kind of illegal activity in our society and plays a crucial role in providing information about corrupt practices in any organization. Whistleblowers in our society are also exposed too much harassment in public life although protection is provided to them by law. United States civic activist Ralph Nader is said to have coined the phrase, but he, in fact, put a positive spin on the term. The whistleblower's protection Act, 2014 provides a mechanism for receiving and inquiring into public interest disclosures against the act of corruption, willful misuse of a power of discretion or criminal offense by public servants. The whistleblowers' protection (amendment) bill,2015, prohibits the reporting of a corruption-related disclosure if it falls under any ten categories of information-economic, scientific interest, the security of the nation, cabinet proceeding, intellectual property and that received in a fiduciary capacity. It is felt that these restrictions on whistleblowers make the exposure of scams in Indian administration impossible.
