Comment: This is written like a paean of praise. An example: "legendary civil servant". I do not think this word is appropriate, because it is peacockery. There are many more examples 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:03, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Common Cause is a registered civil society in India based in New Delhi. It works on probity in public life and governance reforms[1]. It was founded in 1980 by Mr H D Shourie. It has been bringing out the Annual Status of Policing in India Reports (SPIR) since 2018 in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) on police reforms[2][3]. The SPIR collates time-series data on the performance of the police and levels of the citizens’ trust and satisfaction in their day-to-day work[4][5][6]. Common Cause is also among the leading contributors to the India Justice Report (IJR) along with the Centre for Social Justice, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, Daksha, TISS-PRAYAS, and Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. The IJR ranks the capacity of the justice system.[7] [8][9]
The organization has been bringing out a quarterly journal "Common Cause" since 1982 registered by the Registrar of Newspaper in India (RNI) under the Press and Registration of Books Act 1867[10].
Common Cause is known for its logo “A Romance with Public Causes” which is reflected in its Public Interest Litigations (PILs). Some of its PILs concerning allocations of 2G spectrum case[11], Indian coal allocation scam[12], Living Will for patients’ right to die with dignity [13],- generally referred to as Euthanasia in India and the illegality of the Electoral Bond[14] Scheme for the funding of political parties etc have brought radical changes in India’s politics and governance[15]. Common Cause (India) was a co-petitioner along with Indian Police Service (IPS) Officer Prakash Singh in the famous case Prakash Singh Vs Union of India (2006)[16]. The judgment in this case changed the course of policing in India. Common Cause India is a petitioner or a co-petitioner in more than 100 public-interest court cases in the High Courts and the Supreme Court of India[17]. Since 2015 it has been headed by Vipul Mudgal, a former Editor of the Hindustan Times in Jaipur and Lucknow, former Regional Editor of Asia Times in Bangkok and a BBC journalist in London and Delhi.
