This case reflect the non performance of duty by the maintainace staff as well as intoxicated drive driving breaking the traffic laws.
- The ethical dilemmas are
i) The drive not following the law of [road safety] → driving under influence of alcohol ↳ that cause 32% of all the road accident (road safety survey)
ii) Non performance of duty by staff → for the maintainance of the bus componi ↳ against the principle of neglect of duty → pay without responsibilty

responsible for the accident.
it shows that the driver was not following the virtue ethics of doing the work honestly and with integrity.
The lack of work done by the maintainace staff show → complacency → lack of moral responsibility → to do the right thing → 'chalta hai' attitude that they will only wake up when things go out of hand.
Both show that deontological ethic of right mean was not followed.
Hence the safety measure need to be followed with the rule based laws because 'a needle in time saves nine'.

d) i) I will check the data to be furnished i) accordance with section 8 of RTI Act.
ii) whether the data is going to cause harm and priviledged nature
