If he wanted to redeem himself he would have told about the tender tampering before he left after it was found that he asked S to give A back to him.
People may argue he wanted to tell at one point - but at that time he thought he will have A by his side.Once he did not get what he wanted he just left with no intention of telling anybody or without caring what will happen to that person who tried to get him what he wanted.
Now with the news of his confessing the deed is supposed to be seen as favour?Favour for whom?
Shiv will come out of this mess on his own even if he can't prove that J is involved in it.
Pushing someone into a ditch wilfully and then pulling them out doesn't become a favour.
I don't think I want Annadi to slap him simply because it will be beneath her dignity to even slap him.
I agree like sombody said Shiv should slap himself for not recognising the fact Jagya is weasel.Shiv should slap himself for wanting to help this weasel.
Jagya is not doing anybody any favour infact it is he owes favours to Anandi and Shiv both.
