How do I file an anti-corruption complaint against a government officer in Tirupati?

Detailed Legal Analysis

You can file an anti-corruption complaint against a government officer in Tirupati with the State Vigilance Commission or the Anti-Corruption Bureau under the Andhra Pradesh Rent Control Act 1960. The complaint must be in writing and supported by evidence such as documents, recordings, or witness statements.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed that anti-corruption complaints must be investigated promptly and the complainant must be informed of the outcome. You can also file a complaint under the Prevention of Corruption Act with the local vigilance office.

If the vigilance department fails to act, you can approach the Andhra Pradesh High Court by filing a writ petition seeking a direction for investigation. The court may also direct a CBI probe if the allegations are serious and the state agency is not effective.
