I am looking for an expression, idiom or proverb for a hindi saying "ulta karobar" which literally means "turtled business" or "upside-down business" and relates to the disorderly handling of an issue or passing of foolish twisted laws that cause inconvenience or commotion/annoyance for the population. 

After reflecting over such above mentioned doings one can say with a sigh "this is "ulta karobar"

What is the equivalent usage in english.
