Editorial : When a Judge Himself Commits Crime , When a POLICE Himself robs , Murders . The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts , for others to emulate & follow. if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by the teacher. if the teacher himself makes a mistake , all his students will do the same mistake. if a thief steals , he can be caught , legally punished & reformed . if a police himself commits crime , many thieves go scot-free under his patronage. even if a police , public servant commits a crime , he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by the aggrieved.

An Appeal to Honourable United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner & Honourable International Court of Justice

Dear Madam / Sir , SUBJECT : HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA , SUPREME COURT OF INDIA & CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION

I have individually suffered numerous human rights violations , injustices by public servants working for government of India when I raised my voice seeking justice for my fellow countrymen . for the society. These public servants are involved in crimes like aiding & abetting terrorism , underworld , manslaughter , etc. when I appealed to the supreme court of India seeking justice , they have turned their blind eye. As a result more injustices are being committed till date. Even the police are not registering the complaint against these guilty public servants. Police & Supreme Court Judges in league with CRIMINALS , ANTI NATIONALS , TERORRISTS ? In India , some Parliamentarians take money for even raising Questions in parliament , favorable laws / government rules are enacted to favor rich criminals (refer 2G & Nira Radia scam). Police for a price manipulate evidence , prematurely close case , fix innocent & mete out 3rd degree torture , murder in the name of encounter . Public prosecutor can change the way of argument , etc for a price. Even judges in India give favorable judicial orders for money , SEX , post retirement benefits , etc. please refer details at following web pages : http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/court-judgements-fixed , http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/3rd-degree-torture-by-indian-police , http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/court-judgements-for-a-price

I have not got justice till date , instead I have suffered physical assaults , murder attempts on me , my newspaper was illegally clamped down , my job opportunities were illegally snatched away (cutting off the source of livelihood). I have been threatened by police that I & my family members will be fixed up in criminal cases (false implication) & will be behind the bars for rest of our life. I have been refused proper medical care in government hospitals , so that I will die sooner . All these Injustices are meted out at the hands of criminal nexus of CRIMINAL POLICE JUDGE - BUREAUCRAT MP / MLA . Democracy is the best form of governance. My motherland India is one of the greatest country. However Criminals have entered into halls of parliament , criminals have become judges , criminals have become police , almost total criminalization of public service has taken place. These criminals are framing laws for the masses much against the democratic aspirations of the masses. Criminal judges are relying on these laws made by criminals & sending innocents to gallows . Criminal Police are making deals with criminals & arresting , torturing innocents. Still very few HONEST people are left in public service - Parliament , Judiciary & Police , However they are keeping mum. My struggle is not against the government of India or its constitutional bodies rather it is against the corrupt people who are in those bodies . I do have whole hearted respects for the government of India & its constitutional bodies , But I despise the corrupt people over there in those institutions. Our system is good , many of the people working there are not good. It is struggle against those corrupt people , to save our democracy , to save our freedom. Hereby , I do request your honourableselves Honourable United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner and Honourable International Court Of Justice , to order the Honourable Supreme Court of India , Government of India & CIC to do its constitutional duties properly , to safeguard the human rights of all and to provide justice in the matter. Thanking You. Date : 07.10.2012..Yours Sincerely , Place : Mysore , IndiaNagaraja . M . R .

India sex case: Ex-judge AK Ganguly to face no action

The student who made the allegations described Mr Ganguly (pictured) as 'old enough to be my grandfather' Continue reading the main story

Rape scandal
Viewpoints: Did case change India? Does sentence bring closure? Profiles of the suspects Forgotten rapes India's Supreme Court has said that it will take no further action against a retired judge accused of sexual misconduct by one of his interns. A court-appointed committee concluded that there was "prima facie evidence" of "unwelcome behaviour" by him. But it said that it would drop legal action against AK Ganguly because he had retired. Mr Ganguly has strongly denied a law graduate's allegation that she was sexually assaulted by him. The graduate, Stella James, posted a blog last month describing how the former judge allegedly sexually assaulted her in a Delhi hotel room. She said it happened last December when she was an intern. Mr Ganguly is the chairman of the Human Rights Commission in the state of West Bengal. 'Not welcomed' In its ruling on Thursday the committee set up by the Supreme Court said: "[We are] of the considered view that the statement of the intern, both written and oral, discloses an act of unwelcome behaviour (unwelcome verbal/non-verbal conduct of [a] sexual nature)."

The charges levelled by the young woman lawyer against the judge came as India was witnessing huge protests over the fatal gang rape of a student in Delhi But Indian Chief Justice P Sathasivam has been reported by local media as saying that the three judges on the panel had decided "no further follow-up action is required". The trio ruled this was because "the woman 's internship with Justice Ganguly was a private placement and he had retired by the time the charges against him surfaced". Mr Ganguly has denied any wrongdoing and on Thursday refused to comment on the committee's findings. Shock Correspondents say that the charges levelled by the young lawyer against the judge shocked India, particularly as the incident reportedly took place at a time when the country was witnessing huge protests over the fatal gang rape of a student in Delhi. Four men were sentenced to death for that crime in September. The case also forced the Indian government to strengthen its sexual violence laws. "For my supposed diligence, I was rewarded with sexual assault (not physically injurious, but nevertheless violating) from a man old enough to be my grandfather," Ms James wrote in her blog on 6 November for Journal of Indian Law and Society. On why she went public with the incident several months after it occurred, Ms James, now a lawyer with a non-governmental organisation, wrote that although she "bore, and still bear, no real ill-will towards the man, and had no desire to put his life's work and reputation in question", she felt "a responsibility to ensure that other young girls were not put in a similar situation".

Parties question parole for Sanjay

A doctor who examined the actors wife said she has been diagnosed with a tumor in the liver and a suspected heart ailment.
Opposition parties in Maharashtra have accused the State government of preferential treatment in granting a one-month parole to Bollywood actor and 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Sanjay Dutt. The actor was granted parole on Friday on the grounds that his wife Maanyata was unwell and needed to undergo surgery. This is the second time in three months that the actor who is the brother of Congress MP Priya Dutt has been granted leave from the Yerawada jail. Mr. Dutt has been serving the remaining period of his two-year sentence there since May 2013. In October, he got a months leave on grounds of ill health. However, the same month, the parole application of another 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Zaibunissa Kazi was turned down. She had asked for leave to visit her ailing mother. On Saturday morning, a group of activists from the Republican Party of India staged a protest outside the jail. This is a blatant misuse of power by the Maharashtra government. It is clear that Sanjay Dutt is getting preferential treatment, said Manoj Gaikwad, an RPI activist and Sangharsh Samiti volunteer. In Mumbai, BJP leader Gopinath Munde demanded the order be reversed. How can Sanjay Dutt be given parole after such a short gap? The parole should be cancelled and there should be action against the officer who cleared it, he said. Mr. Munde said the authorities needed to check if Mr. Dutts wife was genuinely unwell. However, Maanyata Dutts doctor Ajay Chaughule from the Global Hospital told The Hindu that a tumour had been detected in her liver.

Panel names former India Supreme Court judge Ganguly in sex harassment allegation

Shocked, shattered by allegations: former Supreme Court judge Ganguly New Delhi: A three-member panel that probed the charge of sexual harassment of a young lawyer by a Supreme Court judge has submitted its report, identifying the judge as A K Ganguly, court sources said on Friday. The report was submitted on Thursday after the committee of three judges met six times. This is the first time an alleged perpetrator has been named. The report, submitted to Chief Justice P Sathasivam, also carries the statements of the victim, who interned in the Supreme Court, and that of the now-retired Justice Ganguly, the sources said. The graduate of Kolkata-based National University of Judicial Sciences (NUJS) had alleged sexual harassment by Ganguly while interning for him in December 2012. The committee, which held six sittings on November 13, 19, 21, 26, and 27, submitted its report to Chief Justice Sathasivam on November 28. The victim appeared before the committee on November 19 and was expected to appear again on November 21 but chose to stay away. She first mentioned the incident in a blog for Journal of Indian Law and Society on November 6 and later told the same in an interview with Legally India website. The victim, who is working with Natural Justice: Lawyers for Communities and Environment, said she heard that there were three other girls besides her who were sexually harassed by the same judge. She also claimed to have knowledge of four more girls who were allegedly harassed by other

judges in their chambers. Denying any sexual harassment, Ganguly on Friday said he was shocked and shattered by the charges against him. I am denying everything. I have told the committee that all the allegations levelled by the intern are wrong. I dont know how such allegations have been levelled against me, he said. I am a victim of situations, he told television channels. I am not ashamed of anything, he said in reply to a question regarding the alleged episode which came out in public after the victim spoke about it in the legal portal earlier this month. He said the charges against him were totally wrong. The girl had not raised any sexual harassment issue with him, he said, adding that he had not done any physical harm to her. The former judge said the intern worked with him though she was not officially allocated to him. She came in the place of another intern who had gone abroad after marriage. I never put up a poster. She came on her own. He said the girl had come to his house on a number of occasions in connection with work. IB confirms Mysore Roost Resort sex scandal

The Intelligence Bureau has provided the Centre with a detailed account of the escapade involving three Karnataka High Court judges on November 3 in a resort on the outskirts of Mysore, highly placed sources told The Times of India on Friday. According to a senior official, Most of the information sought has not only confirmed the veracity of the incident but the government has crosschecked it with another police agency. Both the reports match. The incident was widely reported in the media. What has surprised the Centre is the dogged refusal of the Karnataka police to confirm the incident. Mysore Police Commissioner C. Chandrasekhar first denied that the incident ever took place. Only when a public notice was issued through the high court registrar seeking information on the Mysore scandal, did the facts come out in the open. Public protest helped a lot, says the source. What transpired at the resort, says the source, cannot be expected from anyone in civil society, leave alone persons sworn to upholding the law. According to him, The IB report consists of unmentionable facts and also makes it amply clear that the Mysore incident is not the first time such things have happened. Can anyone expect upholders of the law to pick a fight with people who complained to the police when caught in a compromising position? In a related development, Karnataka High Court Chief Justice N.K. Jain has written to Chief Justice of India Justice G.B. Pattanaik asking that three judges be transferred. Jain has proposed that Justice N.S. Veerabhadraiah be transferred to the Patna High Court, Justice Chandrasekharaiah to Jammu & Kashmir and Justice V. Gopala Gowda to the Gauhati High Court. While Jain is understood not to have given any reasons, highly placed sources say the proposal for transfers is linked to the Mysore incident. However, the source says that now the government is worried about the appropriate remedial measures. In such cases, transferring a judge to a remote high court doesnt always work. He says, Bar associations and the people of northeastern states were up in arms when some judges of the Punjab and Haryana high courts were transferred there. We expect similar protests if the CJI accepts Justice Jains proposal to transfer the three judges of the Karnataka High Court. The Bar Council of India on Friday, while expressing its anguish at the Karnataka incident, called for follow-up action. Unless prompt and appropriate action is taken, it will erode the faith of public in the only institution considered to be the bastion of our fighting faith in democracy, it said in a statement. The BCI has lamented inaction in this case by the higher judiciary and the government.

Editorial : Rajiv Assassination & Murder of Justice In this issue , we have again raised the unanswered questions regarding late prime minister shri. Rajiv Gandhi. Also , we have shown with FACTS , Actual cases how Judgement s are manipulated , how Indian legal system is manipulated. The manipulation starts right from selection of judges , police by public service commission , from police , public prosecutors to judges. Just read the great achievements of some of our JUDGES & POLCE . This is an open appeal to the honest few in public service, police & judiciary to legally prosecute their corrupt colleagues & uphold democracy.

Legislate LOKPAL Bill

With whole hearted respects to the parliament & all constitutional bodies , hereby we are appealing to the honest few in public service , honest few in parliament , honest few in judiciary & honest few in police , to legally prosecute their corrupt colleagues , to legislate LOKPAL BILL with full powers to enforce accountability of all public servants , MPs , MLAs , Police , etc to the citizens of india.

Citizens of india are supreme in democratic republic of india. parliament , MPs , MLAs are creations of citizens and are subservient , subordinate to the citizens of india. Creations cannt be supreme than the creator.

Vohra committee has officially acknowledged the criminalization of politics , parliament , legislatures. The politicians crave for power because , while in power investigating / prosecuting agencies will be under their control / influence and they can manipulate the legal process , WHITE WASHING all their crimes. Just see , recently union home minister Mr.Chidambaram influencing the delhi police for closing a cheating case against a builder by forcing the police to file B report. Politicians stoop low to such levels , to make money Ex : irregularities in purchase of coffins meant for kargil martyrs , allotment of flats meant for war widows , war veterans at Mumbai.

If proper accountability of public servants is legally enacted, independence , autonomy of judiciary & police is legally enacted , then those in power cannt WHITE WASH their own crimes. That is the reason many political parties are opposing LOKPAL BILL since decades under many pretexts.

Subject to conditions , I do offer my services to the government of india & supreme court of india , to legally apprehend CRIMINALS , CORRUPT PUBLIC SERVANTS , ARE YOU READY ?

Role of Vaiko, Karunanidhi in Rajiv assassination not probed

The chief investigating officer of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, K Ragothaman, has alleged that the then DMK leader Vaiko, as a prosecution witness, turned hostile and escaped the charge for perjury at the behest of the former SIT chief D R Karthikeyan. In his book Conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi from CBI files, Ragothaman said that during the investigation more than 500 video cassettes were seized, including a cassette titled In tigers cave revealing Vaikos clandestine visit to the LTTE area in Jaffna. He was speaking vulgarly about Rajiv Gandhi and spitting venom on Rajiv. It is also found that he met Pottu Amman when he was introduced to him by Prabhakaran. Vaiko was not questioned on this. Also, he was made witness to speak about his conversation with Prabhakaran while he was kept in the Ashoka Hotel, prior to signing of Indo-Sri Lanka accord, Ragothaman wrote. During the trial, Vaiko refused to admit voice on a video clip of a meeting secured by investigators, in which, he is heard saying that he told Prabhakaran over the intercom in Ashoka Hotel that Rajiv Gandhi stabbed him in the back and the proposed accord was not the solution for achieving Tamil Eelam. Soon after the meeting between Prabhakaran and Rajiv Gandhi, on the Indo-Sri Lanka accord, Vaiko had a talk with Prabhakaran on intercom. Ragothaman has also dragged DMK patriarch Karunanidhi, who abruptly cancelled his meeting at Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, to the centre of controversy. Ragothaman wrote, When I had collected the evidence about the cancellation of the meeting and brought to the notice of the chief of SIT to question the DMK leader on that issue, I was told that part of investigation was done by him and that DGP Rangasamy had requested the DMK leader to cancel the meeting. Also, I was chided by SIT chief asking me not to create such issues as I had done in Rasheed Murder case. Speaking to the Express, Ragothaman said that he opposed Vaiko as witness and told SIT chief that he appears to be a suspect. SIT chief Karthikeyan told me there was not sufficient evidence against Vaiko. Also, starting point of our investigation should have been cancellation of Karunanidhis trip to Sriperumbudur, but Karthikeyan did not allow probe into it, Ragothaman said. Karthikeyan, hailed as one of the most relentless investigators, vehemently refuted the charges authored by his own team member. He is flogging the dead horse. No way can anybody question the integrity of an investigation and nothing remains to be done. All the aspects were explored by the 40member team 20 years ago and SIT had received words of appreciation from two judicial commissions on record. The Supreme Court placed on record appreciation for my leadership, Karthikeyan told Express.

SDPI demands re-opening of probe into Rajiv Gandhis assassination case Bhopal: The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), has demanded the re-opening of the probe into former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhis assassination case after 21 years following a sensational disclosure that a crucial video of the assassination was suppressed by the then IB (Intelligence Bureau) Chief and now West Bengal Governor M. K. Narayanan. SDPI national president Mr. E. Abubacker in a statement said that the allegation is serious. If there such a video as claimed by the investigating officer, then it warrants another probe. The matter should be looked into, said, Mr. Abubacker. Mr. Abubacker said that it is learnt that when news-hounds tracked Mr. Narayanan, who is now in Melbourne on a visit, reportedly avoided direct question but at the same time there was no denial. Narayanan claims all evidence is already present with the investigating agency. The statement stated that the chief investigating officer of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, K. Ragothaman in his just-published book, Conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi From CBI files, has claimed that the tape, which had been taken from the videographer by IB the day after Rajiv Gandhi had been blown by Dhanu on May 21, 1991, was never shared with the Special Investigation Team, (SIT), in the investigation of the assassination. In the book Ragothaman said that although a preliminary enquiry had been conducted in connection with the missing video, Narayanan had been allowed to go scot-free by the SIT chief D. R. Karthikeyan. Similarly, the statement said that Adv. S. Doraisamy, who pleaded for Nalini, one of those convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has written a book, claiming to unravel the mysteries and nail the bungling by the SIT chief Karthikeyan. The soon-to-be published book, tentatively titled Mysteries and Secrets Behind the Rajiv Gandhi Murder, alleges a larger conspiracy. SDPI chief wondered that a nations leader is assassinated and even that has to be suppressed. So much for freedom of speech and expression and national security. Dig deeper, you will get to know beyond LTTE in Rajivs assassination. There are too many loop holes, convenient decisions taken in finishing Rajivs case in order to frame LTTE and put a full stop. Many facts were not properly investigated. Many issues were suppressed, as the book says, by Narayanan and Karthikeyan. Rajiv Gandhi was killed not only by the Lankan Tamils but also allegedly by some Congressmen, he added. He pointed out that the alleged manipulation, according to Ragothaman, was meant to erase video evidence of the kind of people Dhanu had interacted with at the venue, thereby sparing embarrassment to the Congress party in the middle of the 1991 Lok Sabha elections. The author asked: Would Narayanan have dared to damage the goal of the Congress party, irrespective of his personal affiliation to Rajiv Gandhis family? As such Narayanans connections are of doubtful nature and can be probed into to unravel the truth. He said that Adv. Doraisamy, who reportedly in an interview remarked: I have the evidence to prove that Rajiv Gandhi murder was an inside job. But the SIT headed by then Inspector General of Police Karthikeyan never pushed the investigation in the right direction, requires a serious attention and should not be wished away. Mr. Abubacker said that in view of the revelations made in the two books the unpleasant facts should not be swept under the carpet but thoroughly investigated to unmask the real conspirators and the culprits so that the people at large know the faces who eliminated the former Prime Minister for their vested interests. Following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi mysterious forces like P. V. Narsimha Rao took the top slot of Indian administration. Since Raos era Indias cooperation with Israel has increased manifolds at the cost of struggling Palestinians woes. The influence of the United States of America also increased on the Indian administration, he added.

Rajiv Assasination Unanswered questions

Rajiv Gandhi assasination leaves many unanswered questions Unsolved puzzles. For whom did Rajiv Gandhi got assisinated ? Sudhangan raised various questions which didnt get answers till 2009. Here are those questions that are unanswered: 1) On 21 -May-1991 Rajiv gandhi started from Delhi for election campaign and reached Chennai through the route Orissa and Andra Pradesh. How did he accepted that midnight meeting at Sriperambuthur which was not in the agenda of TamilNadu Congress committe. ? 2) Is there any plan made somewhere to bring Rajiv Gandhi to Sriperambathur some how ? 3) The Security official Mr O.P.Sagar was there with Rajiv Gandhi when he campaigned at Bhubaneshwar and Vishakapattinam. But he didnt come to chennai along with Rajiv. Why ? 4) Bulgarian television journalists came along with Rajiv during his visits to record his campaigns. They were with Rajiv in Orissa and Andha Predesh but didnt come for the next meeting. They stayed in a luxary hotel at Vishakapatinam along with their special flight pilot. In that case why did they came ? 5) When Rajiv was about to start, there was a problem in the flight. So he went back to circuit house from the airport. After the problem in flight got fixed, the chief minister of Andha Pradesh Mr.VijayaBhaskar Reddy informed Rajiv to get back to airport and Rajiv went to airport. During this time the two Bulgerian journalists took the security official Sagar along in their car and arrived at airport late. So the security official could not go along with Rajiv gandhi. Why did such an experienced security official was made not to travel with Rajiv ? 6) The security official of Rajiv at chennai P.C.Gupta was waiting at chennai airport for Rajiv. P.C.Gupts is suppose to get the gun from Sagar who was expected along with Rajiv. Since Sagar has not come along with Rajiv, P.C.Gupta was made to go with Rajiv without gun. Is there any intenton behind this ? 7) When Rajiv started from Meenambakkam, two ladies claiming as journalists got inside his car at Ramavaram. Did their identities verified ? Why did the special investigation branch didnt enquire on them ? 8) Who are the Bulgarian journalists ? Where did they went ? 9) Who are those two lady journalists ? Where did they went ? 10) Those two lady journalists interviewed Rajiv Gandhi. But TamilNadu political party people, Tha. Pandiyan and Maragatham Chandrasekar were telling they didnt know what Rajiv spoke with the journalists. What are the hiding ? 11) Just one hour before his murder, Rajiv told it was CIA that killed the pakistan president Zia-ul-Haq. Why shoud he tell that ? What made him to tell that ? Did he know if there is some plan like that against him ? 12) July-1991 The central home minister S.P.Chawan made a statement that apart from LTTE there are other international organizations and powerful external forces involved in the background of Rajivs murder. Who are they referred here ? 13) Why didnt the special investination branch enquire on the above home ministers statement ? 14) During the gulf war India helped fueling US aircrafts. Rajiv gandhi seriously condemmed this help which was done by primie minister Mr Chandrasekar during that time. Why didnt the special investigation branch enquire on CIAs hands on this murder, as US was not happy with Rajiv for the above reason ? 15) Palestinian National Authority president, Mr. Yasser Arafat informed to the indian prime minister during the time Mr .Chandrasekar that Rajiv Gandhis life is under threat. From where did Arafat got this information ? Who is threatening Rajiv ? Why did special investigation branch didnt enquire on this ? 16) Arafat could have got this information if the assasination was planned at western Europe or middle eastern countries. Why is this not probed ? 17) Maragatham Chandrasekar came to attend that meeting with Rajiv Gandhi. Her daughter, Latha Priyakumar came with her husband and advocate Mahendran from Arakonam. But it was unknown from where did her son Lalith Chandrasekar and his wife Vinothini came from. Though it is known that Vinothini is daughter of Jayavarthane from Sri Lanka, they didnt enquire on her. Infact they didnt enquire their family who was there at the meeting. why ? 18) Sivarasans mother and Vinothinis father are sinhalas from Sri Lanka who were present at the incident. It is possible that they were sent by Sri Lankan president Premadasa as messangers. Premadasa is not happy with Rajiv on sending the Indian peace keeping force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka. Why was the investigation not done in that angle ? ( Also we should note here a Sinhala Sri Lankan army person hit Rajiv Gandhi with a gun during his visit to Sri Lanka ) 19) Both LTTE and Sri Lanka hate Rajiv gandhi as he is the reaon for sending Indian peace keeping force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka. Advocate Mr Chandrasekar challenged special investigation branch that, if they could prove Vinothini and her family are innocent then those who did the crime will accept it on their own. But the special investination didnt accept his challence and not enquired those who is related on this. why ? 20) Kamini Disanayaka, Athulath Muthali, Wickramasinghe are prominant politicians in Sri Lanka. When all those people are murdered president Premadasa was pointed. Why didt the investigation didnt happen in this angle ? 21) Why dont Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha did this murder due to pressure from external forces. Just because they are Tamils from yarlpanam, did the investigators linked them with LTTE and closed the case ? 22) What is the strong evidence that links LTTE and its head Prabhakaran to Rajivs assasination case. ? 23) What is the proof that Srivarasan spoke to Prabhakaran thro a radio. Why is this not an assumption ? 24) It is very much possible that politicians within the congress could have considered Rajiv Gandhi is blocking their development within the party and could have hired some group to assasinate Rajiv. This motivation cannot be denied. 25) Various international business people specifically those selling weapons would have been in contact with Rajiv as a prime minister. They could have hired the assasinators to do this murder. Did investigators probed this ? 26) What if Sri Lanka did this, thinking India might send the Indian peace keeping force again to their country and didnt like a strong leader emerging from India ? 27) CIA always had interest in erradicating leaders in all third world countries. Did the same kind of interest got applied on Rajiv ? 28) Rajiv Gandhi is the only leader who prevents the other prominant political party in India BJP to get into power. It is possible that the indian parties like BJP and RSS could have used the Hindu favourable LTTE and Sri Lankan tamils to do this assasination. 29) When other major Congress party members in Tamilnadu like Vazhapaadi and Moopanar didnt take interest in getting Rajiv to this meeting, Maragatham Chandrasekar traveled to Delhi and forced Rajiv to come for this meeting at Sriperambuthur. Is that without her knowledge she become one reason for Rajivs murder ? 30 ) Who is Pottu Amaan ? Is there a person like that ? LTTE says there was a senior person by name Amaan who died war and the only person there is Pottu. How did the special investigation branch stamped someone who is not alive as second criminal in this case ? 31) There are many parallels between the murder of Padmanabha and that of Rajiv Gandhi. Padmanabhas murder was investigaed by TamilNadu queue branch police and Rajiv Gandhis murder was investigated by special investigation branch. Both the investigators are telling the murder was planned at Yarlpanam, Sri Lanka. Sivaraasan was identified as the prime criminal in both the Padmanabhas case as well as Rajiv case. Prabhakaran was considered criminal in Rajivs assasination case bur was not in Padmanabhas case. How come ? It shows adding Prabhakarans name came out of political decision rather than that came out from investigations. It is clearly an effort taken by special investigation branch to to give life to their case intentionally. 32) A famous Sri Lankan tamil poet Kasi. Anandan met Rajiv at the airport. What message did he got from Prabhakaran to Rajiv gandhi ? If Prabhakaran seeked Rajivs help in the freedom struggle of Tamil Eelam through Kasi Anandan, why would Prabhakaran murder Rajiv Gandhi ? 33) Prabhakaran knows it is from India and TamilNadu that he can get support and sympathy. Did Prabhakaran done such a foollish activity by killing Rajiv, to loose all the support of Indians and also get the organization banned ? 34) Latha Kannan stopped Rajiv and read a poetry for him. That enabled Dhanu, a suside bomber standing next to her, to burst the bomb. Why is her name is not included in the criminals list ? Dhanu used only Latha kannan to get inside. When HariBabu who got killed in the blast got included in the criminals list why not Latha Kannan ? Why is special investigation branch showing softness towards congress members ? 35) Before getting to SriPambuthur, Rajiv spoke at two roadside gatherings. Vazhapaadi Ramamurthy, the TamilNadu congress leader was with him in those two places. But at Sri Perambuthur meeting he was standing very far from Rajiv. Why so ? 36) Many innocent people and security personnels died along with Rajiv Gandhi. But nothing happened to any of the congress party members not even minor injury. How ? 37) It was believed that Latha Kumar who brought Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha to SriPerambuthur. She took them specifically to ladies section and told Latha Kannan to take care of them. But Latha Kumars name is not in the criminals list. Why ? 38) How can we say Prabhakaran is involved just based on an old photograph of Sivarasan with Prabhakaran ? 39) Why is it not possible that Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha are expelled from LTTE and they have been hired by western, European, Middle East or India as professional assasinators. 40) Ranganathan confessed that it was based on request by Margret Alva that he gave his house at Bangalore for rent to Sivarasan. Did they enquired how far this is true ? 41) Is there any investigation done on involvement of Chandra Swami, Subramanyam Swamy , Chandrasekar and arms business person Kasoki in this murder ? 42) What kind of benifit LTTE get by murdering Rajiv Gandhi ? Did super powers like US helped them by arms through CIA ? 43) Why do we need CBI & Special Investigation branch which find few people they prefer to get the reports ? Unless all these confusions are clarified, the real culprit will be hiding behind some powerful forces.

People at the helm are protecting Rajiv murder accused

Former Central Bureau of Investigations former chief investigating officer K Ragothaman has claimed in a recently published book Conspiracy to kill Rajiv: From CBI files that a lot of facts pertaining to the former prime ministers assassination were either suppressed, or were studiously ignored. Ragothamam writes that there were attempts made to protect the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam from being called the conspirators behind Rajivs killing. In this interview with rediff.coms Vicky Nanjappa, Ragothaman speaks about the conspiracy and the hurdles that were faced in a probe in which many aspects were hushed up. How has your book been received? That is too early to tell. It is just out, but is under debate. Let us wait and watch. You write that Dravida Munetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhis [ Images ] scheduled public meeting in Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, the day Rajiv was killed, was abruptly cancelled. Karunanidhi was to address a meeting at 6O clock that evening, two hours before Rajivs meeting. The police had made all arrangements. Then there was a telegram from the Anna Arivalyam postal office jurisdiction that the meeting was cancelled. I probed the sender of that telegram. I was told to ask Karunanidhi about the same. However, I could not investigate him directly. Later, I was told by my superiors that the matter was being looked into, and I should remain quiet. I was also told that it was a director general of police, Rangaswamy, who had advised that the meeting be cancelled. However, when I looked at the Rangaswamy affidavit, it read that he had ordered as much police force as possible in view of this meeting. I also attended the Jain commission inquiry in which Karunanidhi was examined. He had said then that it was the then governor, Bhishma Narayan Singh, who had told him to cancel the meeting. Look at the contradictions. Who according to you was the one who advised cancellation of the Karunanidhi meeting? Probably it was Marumalarchi Dravida Munetra Kazhagam leader Vaiko who telephoned and sought cancellation of the meeting. The telephone records needed to be examined, but it was never done. Why do you think Vaiko tried to stop Karunanidhi? After Rajivs assassination, many DMK workers were attacked, their offices burnt. If Karunanidhi had gone there, he would have been in trouble and there would have been an onslaught. Hence, they were trying to protect him. Does this mean even Karunanidhi was part of the plot? No, that is not what I meant. Karunanidhi is not a killer. He wanted a democratic solution to the problem and this was never liked by slain LTTE [ Images ] chief Prabhakaran. You accuse Vaiko of having a hand in this entire issue. Vaiko was the one who spoke vehemently against the Indo-Jaffna accord. Vaiko said at that time he was first an LTTE, then a Tamilian and then an Indian. At the time of the accord, Prabhakaran was brought down to New Delhi [ Images ] and was put up at the Hotel Ashoka. Vaiko sought to meet him, but he was not allowed to do so. He conversed with Prabhakaran on the intercom, during which the latter told him, Anna, this Rajiv has betrayed me. I feel like committing suicide as he is sealing my fate. But I cannot kill myself as I need to fight for my people. Vaiko wrote a book later in which he mentions that Prabakaran had thought of committing suicide. Tell us more, sir When Vaiko had gone to Sri Lanka [ Images ], we had secured a videotape titled Inside a Tigers Cave which has him on tape. There he spoke everything that was anti-Rajiv. It appeared that he was more against Rajiv than Prabakaran himself. This was also a point noted during our investigation. Then there is also a meeting in which Vaiko says that Rajiv wont go back alive from Tamil Nadu. He, however, retracted that statement. During the investigation, we questioned one Chinna who is on death row. He said that in one of the hideouts, Sivarasan (the prime accused in the assassination) held talks with one Srinivas Ayya and said that after the successful completion of the mission, they should ensure that Vaiko becomes the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Why was the evidence not used then? This is a question that I have been asking. We had so much evidence, but surprisingly Vaiko was roped in as prosecution witness number 250 in the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities court. During the trial, he denied speaking all of which was on video with Prabhakaran. The video was played out. He claimed that it was him in the video but the voice was not his. It was sent for examination and the voice too was confirmed, but till date there is no perjury case against him. You have alleged that even the Intelligence Bureau and the Research and Analysis Wing tried to cover up LTTEs role? After the assassination, Chandrashekhar, the then prime minister, convened a meeting in which even Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy (then minister of commerce and industry) was present. The then IB chief, MK Narayanan, and RAW boss, GS Bajpai, were also present. Swamy said that it was obvious that the LTTE was responsible. Bajpai retorted that it was not the LTTE. The meeting was adjourned. Meanwhile, the CBI director had gone to Colombo for the investigation. They were called back and rushed to Delhi for the meeting. During the meeting, it was again asked why a trip was made to Colombo and did that mean it was preconceived that it was the LTTE which was behind the assassination. Bajpai once again opposed this. He even quoted one Kittu to be his source. Kittu, incidentally, was Prabhakarans right hand man. An LTTE man could never have been a RAW mole and even Dr Swamy had termed this as absurd. What are your allegations against Narayanan? A video taken at the meeting on that ill-fated day in which there were images of Dhanu was never made available to the CBI. The assassination team was waiting for nearly two hours in a sterile area. The original video reached Narayanan. The government had decided to conduct an investigation in this regard and this case was registered with the Special Investigating Team and the CBI. However, it was buried. My question is, why no action has been taken for suppressing evidence. It was being said that Dhanu had barged into the meeting, but this video clearly shows that they were waiting for a long time. We probed this case risking our own lives and it does upset me that people sitting at the helm of affairs are protecting the accused. Do you think the loopholes will be rectified now? Let us see.

An LTTE-Sonia family link? S. Gurumurthy,Newindpress April 29 2008

The LTTE suicide squad did plan and eliminate Rajiv Gandhi. But, why did the LTTE do it? Was there a larger conspiracy that extended beyond the LTTE as the strike force? Was the LTTE the author of the crime or the mercenary for some one else or for some purpose that yielded some benefit to it? These questions persisted even after the actual assassins were brought to book. The Narasimha Rao government appointed the Jain Commission to go into the conspiracy angle to the murder.In its interim report the commission did exceedingly good work to bring on record evidence about the political forces involved in promoting the LTTE in Tamil Nadu that made the crime possible. Yet it made a mockery of its main work, the conspiracy angle. It floated dubious and wild theories, involving Mossad! CIA! Besides adding confusion, it ended up trivialising a very serious exercise. This also robbed the commission of its credibility. As the commissions final report proved a flop, the Vajpayee government appointed a MultiDisciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA) in 1998 to unearth the conspiracy angle. But the person who first demanded, but, ultimately made, investigation into the conspiracy to murder Rajiv Gandhi irrelevant was none other than his widow Sonia Gandhi. Her attitude to the investigation and suspected actors in the murder dramatically changed. Her conduct in 1997 when she was working to enter active politics was a stark contrast to her attitude after taking over the congress leadership on the Jain Commission issue. In 1997, she demanded that the DMK which, the Jain commission had said, was part of the conspiracy, be sacked as a partner of the UF alliance and pulled down the government when the demand was not met. Her party insisted the entire facts about the conspiracy be investigated and revealed. Addressing a meeting at Amethi, Sonia hinted that the DMK was a fan of the LTTE and charged that those who doubted the Jain commission report were diverting the attention from the investigation into the conspiracy to murder Rajiv and demanded that the probe be completed expeditiously (Indian Express 2.2.1998).

But, once she took over the party leadership, she not only ceased to evince any interest in pursuing the Rajiv Gandhi murder conspiracy, but also began allying with the alleged conspirators themselves. The developments, put together, reveal a shocking picture.The year after taking over the Congress, Sonia Gandhi makes a secret move. In the year 1999, she told then President Dr K R Narayanan privately that neither she nor her son and daughter wanted any of the four convicts sentenced to death for Rajivs assassination to be hanged, and pleaded that no child should be orphaned by an act of the State. Noted the Indian Express (Nov 20, 1999) that before her plea for mercy to the Rajiv killers the Congress party was the leading opponent of mercy to them. This silenced the party once and for all. What transpired at her private meeting with the President was revealed not by Sonia, but by Mohini Giri (the former chairperson of the National Womens Commission) and on that basis Nalinis death sentence was commuted to life. (Frontline Nov 5-18, 2005). Then, in February 2004, there were reports, editorially commented by the Island newspaper in Colombo on Feb 20, 2004, that Eduardo Faleiro, her emissary, had a secret meeting with the LTTE chief Prabhakaran at Killinochi. Island had also referred to reports that Sonias mother Ms Paula Maino had met Anton Balasingham, LTTEs point man in London, in connection with the electoral alliance between the DMK and the Congress. While Eduardo Faleiro at least made a feeble attempt to deny the meeting, Paulo Maino would not even deny that.Third, the Paulo Maino meeting preceded, and the Faleiro meeting succeeded, the unbelievable U-turn of Sonia Gandhi to forge alliance with the DMK which was accused by her own party in 1997 of being part of the conspiracy to murder her husband. The DMK-Congress alliance seems to have been agreed upon sometime in December 2003. In January 2004, Sonia met the DMK chief and concretised the alliance. The coming together of one of the alleged conspirators and the victim of the conspiracy made a mockery of any further investigation into Rajiv Gandhi murder. For the last four years there is not a single word spoken by Sonia on pursuing the Rajiv Gandhi murderers and on unearthing the conspiracy or for the extradition of Prabhakaran or Pottu Amman. This is despite the fact that, when, on April 10, 2002, Prabhakaran met the press at Killinochi, he did not even deny that LTTE was involved in Rajiv assassination. Fourth, the LTTE too responded favourably to signals from Sonia that she was not against LTTE. On January 27, 2006, Anton Balasingham, told an Indian TV news channel that the Rajiv killing was monumental tragedy and asked the people of India to be magnanimous to put the past behind and deal with the LTTE. Fifth, Sonia did not object to the inclusion of the DMK woman MP in whose house Sivarasan the main killer of Rajiv Gandhi had stayed for which she was detained under the TADA, as a minister

in the UPA government. Sixth, the MDMA which was appointed by the NDA government after Sonia rejected the Action Taken Report on the Jain Commission, has virtually become defunct under the UPA regime. Since 2004, she has not uttered a single word asking what the MDMA is doing. And finally now in March 2008, Priyanka Vadra, Sonias daughter makes a secret visit to Vellore jail and meets the first accused in the murder of Rajiv, for over an hour. Media reports say that they sat by each others side, cried and professed goodwill towards each other! No one knows what transpired between them. The meeting clearly illegal, looks almost a conspiracy, would have remained a secret had the media not exposed it. Priyanka said that neither Sonia nor Rahul or Priyanka believe in hate or anger, and that the visit was her way of coming to terms with the Rajiv Gandhi murder. Moral high ground seems to be a cover for undisclosed political strategies. But where was this high moral ground when Sonia angrily pulled down the UF government on the ground that DMK, a suspected co-conspirator with LTTE, was part of the alliance? Is Rajiv Gandhis assassination a personal affair between the Sonia Gandhi family and the LTTE for the former to punish or pardon the latter? LTTE has neither confessed nor regretted its action for the Gandhis to pardon. The LTTE is even today unrepenting. The prosecution case is that the LTTE supremo decided to avenge Rajiv Gandhi for sending IPKF to Sri Lanka and betraying the LTTE. But that was no personal decision of Rajiv Gandhi. The assassination was an act against the state of India. This is how it should be seen and pursued. Neither Sonia nor Priyanka nor the Congress has the right to pardon the criminals who have challenged the sovereignty of India. QED: Sonia Gandhi family and the LTTE connection is mysterious. Is the maverick Dr Subramanian Swamy right after all in his theory that LTTE and the Maino family have had links before? http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?

RAJIV ASSASSINATED

The French Intelligence Agencies as per a regular routine Intelligence Drill, keep under heavily Intelligence Surveillance all the activities of all the Foreigners in all the Five Star Hotels.politicsparty.com has learnt from highly placed sources that, In the course of the routine surveillance the Intelligence Agencies of France have in their possession On Camera Footage of a now Highly Classified Recording of a Secret Meeting at a Paris Five Star Hotel in 1991.The L.T.T.E was fighting through the use of Terrorism for the separation of the Tamil portion of the country from Sri Lanka. Rajiv Gandhi as Prime Minister had sent the Indian Army to Sri Lanka to assist the Government forces there to fight and destroy the L.T.T.E. The Indian Army was finally withdrawn from Sri Lanka without achieving success. Rajiv thus became an enemy of the L.T.T.E.Rajiv lost power in 1989 Lok Sabha Elections.In 1991, Rajiv Gandhi was the Congress President, Chandrashekar was the Prime Minister.The Lok Sabha Elections were announced after Rajiv withdrew the Congress support to the Chandrashekar Government.The L.T.T.E. Chief had sent two L.T.T.E delegations to New Delhi in 1991, to meet and discuss with Rajiv Gandhi, to understand his attitude towards the L.T.T.E. After these meetings the L.T.T.E. Chief was not convinced that Rajiv would be soft on the L.T.T.E. In fact Prabhakaran expected Rajiv to be hostile to the L.T.T.E.In the 1991 Elections Rajiv was not expected to come back to power. However the L.T.T.E. did not want the risk of allowing Rajiv to come to power.Rajiv Gandhi and his Congress won a massive victory in 1984 because of the nationwide sympathy generated by Prime Minister Indira Gandhis Assassination by her Sikh Bodyguards. Rajivs Congress won 414 Lok Sabha MPs. Rajiv looked like being Prime Minister forever.However, Rajiv got in to a serious Credibility Problem when the HDW Submarine Deal Broke. Rajiv threw out the then Defence Minister V.P.Singh from the Party. Rajivs Coterie made a loyal V.P.Singh an enemy of Rajiv.Thereafter the Bofors Gun Deal Scam tumbled out of the Swedish Closet. Rajiv handled the Bofors Scam horribly. Rajivs former aides manipulated to destroy Rajiv and Rajivs Politics. Rajiv lost complete credibility. Rajivs Congress won 195 MPs but lost the Lok Sabha Elections and the Central Government in 1989. The V.P.Singh Government came to power and demonstrated quickness in getting the Bofors Pay Offs in Foreign Bank Accounts Sealed.The Bofors Money Trail led directly to the Italian Wheeler-Dealer Ottavio Quattrocchi.Quattrocchi realized that Indias Opposition Politicians and Anti-Congress Governments in their passion to expose Rajiv would chase the Bofors Scam and all its beneficiaries. However, in that process the involvement of Quattrocchi would be completely exposed. Quatrocchi believed that Rajiv and his Congress were not winning the 1991 Elections. The Third Front Government of V.P.Singh was expected to win. The V.P. Singh Government would accelerate investigation in to the Bofors Scam. Quattrocchis role in the Bofors Scam would be completely exposed thus leading to the jailing of Quattrocchi.Quattrocchi panicked. There was only one way for Quattrocchi to survive. The Bofors scam must be buried. The Bofors Enquiry cannot be stopped if Rajiv was Alive. If Rajiv was not there then the Political System would lose interest in the Bofors Scam. So to bury the Bofors Scam Burying Rajiv was a necessity for Quattrocchi. Only then could Quattrocchi happily survive and enjoy the millions looted from Indias Public Exchequer.Anton Balasingham was the Principal Adviser, Most Trusted Lieutenant, Globe Trotting Apex Negotiator, Vital Deal Maker, Super Strategist, Spokesman and Personal Friend of the Chief of the L.T.T.E. Velupillai Prabhakaran.Sources say that, Quattrocchi got in touch with the L.T.T.E. The meeting with the L.T.T.E. was fixed in a Five Star Hotel in Paris.Ottavio Quattrocchi and Anton Balasingham met. Quattrocchi convinced Balasingham that Rajivs death was vital to both. If Rajiv were dead then the Bofors Scam would die. If Rajiv was dead then the L.T.T.E. could be confident that the Indian Army will not go to Sri Lanka to destroy the L.T.T.E. Quattrocchi handed over Bags of Dollars to Balasingham as payment for Rajivs Assassination.The entire meeting and conversation between Ottavio Quattrocchi and Anton Balasingham was Recorded by the French Intelligence Agencies.On the day of his Assassination Rajiv Gandhi was in Vishakapatnam. Rajiv was campaigning for his fond candidate Uma Gajapati Raju. Rajiv was enjoying the campaigning. Rajiv was in no mood to leave Vishakapatnam, on that evening.A Trio of Congress Busybodies including P.V.Narasimha Rao made frantic Phone Calls from New Delhi urging Rajiv to leave Vishakapatnam and fly to Chennai. Rajiv keen on spending the night at Vishakapatnam, tried avoiding to go to Chennai. Rajiv made an excuse that his aircraft was not in perfect order. The Congress Busybodies of Delhi got the Aircraft speedily checked, repaired and told Rajiv that it was ready. The Congress Busybodies forced a reluctant-to-leave-Vishakapatnam Rajiv, to fly from Vishakapatnam to Chennai enroute to Sriperumbudur in Tamilnadu.Rajiv flew to Chennai and went by road to Sriperumbudur. As soon as the cavalcade of cars of Rajiv and the Tamilnadu State leaders accompanying Rajiv reached Sriperumbudur, Rajiv got out of the car and walked through the crowd to the Dias.When any national leader visits any part of the country then the moment the leader gets down from the Aircraft, the entire State Leadership of his Party surrounds him. The State Leaders stick to him through out the Visit until he gets back in to the Airport. If a Photograph is taken at any given minute of the visit, the Photo will contain the National Leader and the Top State Leaders. Whether it is Vajpayee, Advani, Rajnath Singh, Sonia or any national leader the scenario is the same. Every Photo Frame will consist of the National leader being surrounded by State Leaders.When Rajiv alighted at Sriperumbudur all the state Leaders were there. However, each of the Tamilnadu State Leaders suddenly decided to keep away from Rajiv. From the car, Rajiv walked through the crowd unaccompanied by any State Leader.So, when the Human Bomb Exploded, Rajiv was Blown to pieces, but not a single Tamilnadu State Leader Died with him. G.K.Moopanar, P.Chidambaram, Maragatham Chandrashekar and several Other Tamilnadu state Leaders did not walk with Rajiv. Strange and Impossible. But the Tamilnadu State leaders allowed Rajiv to walk the Death-Walk Alone.In the Final Photo Frame of Rajiv Gandhi, no Tamilnadu State leader was present with Rajiv. Were all these State Leaders aware that Rajiv would be killed and hence kept away from Rajiv to save their lives?The Investigation in to the Rajiv Assassination has not interrogated or put on the Lie Detector Test and the Narco-Analysis Test the Congress Bigwigs who insisted that Rajiv must leave Vishakapatnam and go to Tamilnadu, that Assassination night. Why?Similarly the Investgation did not interrogate and subject to a Lie Detector and a Narco Analysis Test the Tamilnadu Congress State Leaders who deserted Rajiv immediately after he got out of the car at Sriperumbudur. Why?Intelligence Agencies Sources say that the International Arms Dealer Adnan Kashogi provided the Bomb Belt worn by the L.T.T.E.s suicide Human Bomb to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi. Indias Investigation never pursued this lead. Why?Later P.V.Narasimha Raos son Prabhakar Rao and Adnan Kashogis Son were involved in a UREA SCAM. The Government of India in Dollars issued 125 crores even before the Urea arrived in India. Till today the Urea has not arrived. The 125 Crores has not been recovered from Narasimha Raos Son. Now the Manmohan Singh Government has allowed the Crores of Rupees in the Swiss Banks to be defreezed. Narasimha Rao deserved to be in jail for corruption but Manmohan calls him a Saint.Indias Investigation in to the Rajiv Assassination has not investigated P.V.Narasimha Rao and Adnan Kashoggis Family to ascertain the facts and complicity, if any, in the Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. Why?Ottavio Quattrocchi was the

Mastermind in the Conspiracy to Assassinate Rajiv Gandhi. But Quattrocchi was never investigated. Why?The Intelligence Agencies of France, Israel and the United States of America have Highly Classified Secret Data pertaining to all the details of the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination.Israel, France and US are all Democracies. All three nations are closely involved with India in the International war against terrorism. It is their responsibility to provide India with every bit of evidence and information that they and their Intelligence agencies possess about the Assassination of R ajiv Gandhi.So far these Nations have not given India any information because the government of India has not requested them. The moment India requests these countries then they will give to India, all the information they have.Politicsparty.com Requests the Parliament of India to ensure that the Government of India obtains all the information pertaining to the Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi available with the Intelligence Agencies of France, Israel and the US and discloses all the information to Indias Parliament.politicsparty.com Requests the Parliament of India to ensure that an investigation is ordered in to the Role of Ottavio Quattrocchi in the Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.Quattrocchi must be arrested, brought to India put on a Lie Detector Test and a Narco-Analysis Test and Questioned about his Role in the Conspiracy to Assassinate Rajiv Gandhi.politicsparty.com expects Indias Parliament to do justice to one of its Assassinated Member of Parliament Rajiv Gandhi.President of India Kalam is now in France. The Government of India must request President Kalam to request the French President to make available to India the Tapes of the Secret Meeting in the Paris Hotel and all other information involving the Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.The People of India must know the truth about the Assassination of Rajiv and the Conspirators must be arrested, prosecuted and given the Death Sentence.

DMK helped LTTE assassinate Rajiv Gandhi.

Indias Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party (DMK) and its leader Karunanidhi who is the chief minister of Tamil Nadu came in for strong criticism in the interim report of a retired judge who probed the circumstances leading to the killing in 1991 by an LTTE female suicide bomber. Munnetra Kazhagam, DMK Leader Indian officials blamed the killing on Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger terrorists, who the judge said had received support in the past from the DMK. In 1976, Gandhi's federal government dismissed Karunanidhi's government, which was accused of corruption. A year later, MGR won local elections and sent Karunanidhi into political wilderness until MGR's death in 1987. After a year of direct rule by the federal government, the DMK party regained power in Tamil Nadu in 1989. Two years later the federal government dismissed Karunanidhi for a second time, accusing him of not doing enough to crack down on the Tamil Tigers in his state. Further, the Commission said, the LTTE was getting its supplies, including arms, ammunition, explosives, fuel and other essential items from Tamil Nadu to continue its fight against the IPKF that too with the support of the DMK Government, State Administration and connivance of the law enforcement agencies. The report said that soon after the DMK Government took over the reins of power in Tamil Nadu, "the LTTE slowly began to consolidate itself in the State and their clandestine activities, heretofore dormant, became more and more pronounced. All the activities of the LTTE at this stage towards resource mobilisation, propaganda and treatment of their wounded cadres, had taken an anti-national dimension.'' The Commission noted the visit of the then DMK MP, Mr. V. Gopalaswamy, MP (DMK) to Northern Sri Lanka and his reported meeting with Prabhakaran between February 8, 1989, and March 3, 1989. "This visit by Mr. V. Gopalaswamy, and the manner in which this entire episode was dealt with by the DMK party sent clear signals to the pro-LTTE anti-IPKF elements in the State as well as LTTE itself that the newly-elected Government would not resort to any drastic action against such elements; on the other hand, the impression that the entire episode created was that pro-LTTE gestures, even if they were illegal, would be tolerated by the Government.'' The Commission's report said the then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, was keen that "some satisfactory solution be arrived at with the LTTE so that the Indo-Sri Lankan Accord could be implemented in letter and spirit. He discussed this concern with Mr. Karunanidhi and sought his assistance.'' After Mr. V. P. Singh became the Prime Minister on December 2, 1989, it was spelt out that if no solution came, India would no longer give any military or monetary help to any of the groups, nor allow its mainland to be used for militant activities. "The LTTE remained adamant during their parleys with Mr. Karunanidhi, and continued to demand the formation of Eelam,'' the report noted. The interim report said that credible reports existed of "active connivance of some DMK leaders with the LTTE. The LTTE was in continuous interaction with Mr. Karunanidhi, primarily to ensure that their activities continue unhindered even after the Padmanabha killing.'' The ATR "noted'' the observation of the Commission that there was a nexus between the LTTE and the ULFA and their combined endeavours in Tamil Nadu had also been confirmed. The Commission's report ponders over questions of aid to the LTTE in the killing of Rajiv Gandhi. "Were there other forces behind the LTTE involved in the conspiracy for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi? These are questions requiring a deep and anxious probe,'' the report said referring to conspiratorial aspects which were yet to be dealt with by the one-man probe panel. Soon after the DMK Government took over the reins of power in Tamil Nadu, the LTTE slowly began to consolidate itself in the State. During 1990, a growing nexus between the LTTE and DMK and its repercussions on the local law enforcement machinery were discernible. The assassination of EPRLF leader K. Padmanabha and others at Madras on 19th June 1990 was a shocking reminder of the impunity with which the LTTE could operate in India. The case assumes significance due to the fact that striking similarities were found in the Padmanabha assassination and the case relating to the assassination of Shri Rajiv Gandhi. It can, therefore, be safely concluded that the growing connivance of the DMK Government with the LTTE having been brought to the knowledge of the National Front Government, effective steps were not taken by the Central government to check it, whatever may be the reasons. From the evaluation of the material, the conclusion is irresistible that there was tacit support to the LTTE by Shri M. Karunanidhi and his Government and law enforcement agencies. The charges, put together as long quotations from the report, include: that the DMK provided a safe sanctuary for the LTTE cadres and activists, it gave advice, active assistance, finance and security cover to LTTE operations, and that the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi would not have been possible the way it happened without the nexus between the LTTE and the DMK, a nexus which started a chain of events which led to the survival and growth of the LTTE in Tamil Nadu long after the Government of India's attitude had changed towards the LTTE and hostilities had broken out between the Indian Peace Keeping Force and the LTTE in Sri Lanka, and finally that the DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, had "himself been instrumental in ensuring that things went smoothly for LTTE'' and that the cadres of the LTTE had little fear of the security agencies in India "thanks to the patronage of the DMK Government''.

JUDGES , SEX & CRIME COVER-Ups

Now days we are seeing frequent reports of Judges involvement in crimes , sexual assaults , misuse of office , etc in the media. They are hushing up , covering up those crimes by misusing their power , enormous clout. Legal Immunity applies only to their official actions but not to their actions as individuals , their criminal actions. These guilty public servants cunningly intertwine their official & personal actions to escape legal prosecution , in this backdrop to bring out the wrong , illegal work practices of public servants , judges , police I have raised basic questions about their work practices in public interest. Till date the guilty public servants have not given their full replies at all , as they have much to hide than to reveal.

Once again I am raising those questions to Honourable Chief Justice of India to answer at the earliest in public interest :

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS Vs PRIVILEGES OF CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES IN INDIA

Let the Legislators of states, members of parliament, High courts & Supreme Court Judges & other constitutional functionaries answer the following questions which are vital in a democracy. 1) What are the fundamental rights of a citizen guaranteed under the constitution (Article 21) ? 2) What are the privileges conferred on legislators & parliamentarians by the constitution of India? a) Inside the House b) Outside the House 3) What are privileges conferred on constitutional functionaries, like

a) President of India b) Prime Minister of India c) Chief Justice of India d) Chairman of NHRC e) Central Vigilance Commissioners. 4) Are the privileges legal immunity conferred on above mentioned constitutional functionaries ? a) Cover all their official actions irrespective of merit. b) Cover both their official & personal actions. 5) Are the privileges defined & codified ? 6) Are these privileges above freedom of the press ? 7) Are the liberty & fundamental rights of the citizens guaranteed by the constitution, above the privileges of the constitutional functionaries or equal or below ? 8) Can the Indian legislatures & parliament be equated to the House of commons in England which is considered to be a superior court and court of records ? 9) Can the division of powers, namely the legislature, the executive and the Judiciary, be equated to the functioning of the House of commons and House of Lords in England ? 10) Can a citizen be said to have committed breach of privilege of the House or court and causing contempt of the house or court by raising the issues of accountability of constitutional functionaries ? 11) Can a Legislature or Parliament enact a new law, to circumvent or to nullify the Judicial orders with respect to wrongdoings by peoples representatives & executive ? does not it amount to infringement of Judicial powers & contempt of the court by the House. 12) Are the FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES of a citizen more important than constitutional duties of a constitutional functionary or equal in importance to it ? 13) Can a constitutional functionary commit crimes, anti-national activities in the name of constitutional duties, behind the legal veil of official's secret act & go unaccountable for his actions and go unpunished by his legal immunity privileges ? 14) Are the Legislators members of parliament, High court & Supreme court Judges and other constitutional functionaries not willing to codify their privileges for the reason that if codified their privileges would be curtailed and their action would be subjected to legal scrutiny. ? 15) By votes of citizens Legislators and parliamentarians get seats in the legislature and Parliament out of tax payer's money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-Star luxurious lifestyles. Hence whether a vote of a citizen is above (More valid) or a seat of legislator or parliamentarian is above or more valid in a democracy ? 16) Judges & Constitutional functionaries are indirectly appointed by voters / tax payers. Out of tax payers money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-star luxurious lifestyles. Hence, whether the vote of a citizen, fundamental duties of a tax payer is above (more valid) or a seat of judge / constitutional functionary is above (more valid) in a democracy ? 17) If there is a vacuum in the Legislature or parliament, who is to fill up that vacuum till such time that the legislature or parliament acts provide a solution by performing its role by enacting proper legislation to cover the field (vacuum) ? 18) While it is an unhealthy practice for a Judge to claim to be a Judge in his own cause, is it not worse for the members of the legislature and parliament to be judges in their own cause ? 19) Are the Technicalities of the case more important to a judge or Justice to a citizen, protection of fundamental rights of citizen.? 20) Why not the constitutional functionaries initiate suo moto action with respect to numerous cases of injustices reported in Media ? 21) Why not the Judges admit various cases of Injustices affecting public, as the Public Interest Litigation" ? In some cases, the Public or the person representing them is unable to afford the high cost of the case. Why not free legal aid is given ?. 22) What is the criteria for admitting a P.I.L. & giving free legal aid ? 23) Communication - free flow of information is the lifeline of a democracy. Why the constitutional functionaries are not honouring the Right to Information of Citizens ?

Main A : You have not taken appropriate action to my previous RTI requests , Numerous appeals for justice & police complaints. You have not replied to show-cause notice also. Your inaction has helped the criminals in manipulating & destroying evidences.

Your inaction / delay in performing your duties not only amounts to denial of information , but amounts to violation of our fundamental & human rights , cover-up of crimes , aiding & abetting criminals . The criminal nexus tried to silence me in many ways. Is not these acts of yours a crime in itself ?

If your acts of crime cover-ups , information / evidence cover-ups , aiding & abetting criminals , silencing a crusader is just & legal. The same type of acts of crimes performed by other citizens will also be legal ?

Main B : At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to all constitutional institutions & to the honest few in public service. Contempt of constitutional institutions , citizens of India is being made by the corrupt persons in constitutional positions themselves. This is an appeal to the honest few in public service , constitutional positions , to bring their corrupt colleagues to book.

1. does the action of MPs , MLAs taking money / receiving favors from vested interests , to formulate policy decisions , to raise questions in parliament / legislative bodies or to abstain from voting legal ? 2. why transparent , fair investigation is not done in such cases ?

3. just remember , the vulgar acts of Mr.Bora Babu Singh in state legislature & how some MLAs vulgarly behaved with Ms.Jayalalita in state legislature , years ago. Are these type of vulgar actions by MPs & MLAs legal ? does not these constitute contempt of the house by MPs & MLAs themselves ? 4. all the peoples representatives from panchayath member to president of India must read ABCD Of Democracy provide along with.since independence of India till date , MPs & MLAs are forcing projects on people against the wishes of people , formulating policies against the wishes of people. Are not such projects , government policies & Laws , undemocratic & illegal ? 5. is the election commission of India verifying the authenticity of affidavits submitted by electoral candidates ? 6. how many candidates have been caught so far for giving false affidavits ? are all the violators prosecuted? 7. are the MPs , MLAs submitting their wealth details on affidavits yearly to vigilance authorities ? defaulters , violators how many ? 8. ? 9. what legal action taken against violators , defaulters , for giving false affidavits who is checking the authenticity of those affidavits submitted by MPs , MLAs ?

10. the agricultural incomes of some MPs , MLAs , their kih & kin raises even during the time of severe drought , floods , fall in prices of agricultural products , their companies register increase in turnover / profits even during recession , the trusts / NGOs set up by them receive huge donations. Are all these income legal ?

Main C : 1. we do once again offer our conditional services to the government of india , all state governments & supreme court of india , in apprehending tax evaders , land grabbers , corrupt police , corrupt judges , corrupt public servants , labor law violators , etc. whom the the government officials , vigilance authorities have failed to apprehend. Why the authorities , courts , supreme court of India , are not ready to utilize our service ? are they afraid of being caught ? 2. the public servants , courts theselves are delaying giving information / records to us in many cases. So in the issues / cases raised by us , the clause of time bar doe not apply. Are these delaying tactics of public servants , courts legal ? 3. why no proper , timely action was not taken based on numerous police complaints made by us ? 4. why DG & IGP , Government of Karnataka , has not made any efforts to seek legal sanction for prosecution of VVIPs ( mentioned in our complaint ) , from union & state home ministries ? 5. the criminal nexus is trying to silence me in many ways , but the supreme court of India & national human rights commission has failed to undo the injustices , why ? is it because it is not a high profile case ? is it because it is not hi-fi , does not get image ratings , TRPs ? 6. the public servants are aiding underworld , naxalites & terrorists , by their delaying tactics & denial of information , records. What action has been taken against such anti-national elements in public service ? 7. how many complaints are made by Nagaraj .M.R. , Human Rights Activist , Mysore (editor of SOS e-clarion of dalit & SOS e-voice for justice) to Karnataka police , to national human rights commission to supreme court of India till date ? what action taken with respect to each complaint ? 8. the delay in taking action by public servants with respect to following cases has resulted in more crimes , destruction / manipulation of evidences , records and more injustices to commonman. Why the authorities did not take timely action against criminals in following cases ?

Editorial : Hang Rapist Judges to Lamp Posts - JUDGES & SEXUAL CRIMES

At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to the honest few public servants in public service including judiciary & Police. However, the corrupt in public service dont deserve respect as individuals as they are parasites in our legal system. Still we respect the chairs they occupy but not the corrupt individuals. All the following articles / issues , past cases of sexual assaults on women by judges (hushed up ?) , whole articles published in the weblinks mentioned below forms part of this appeal. The term JUDGE mentioned throught includes all public servants discharging judicial functions right from taluk magistrates , quasi-judicial officers to Chief Justice of India. Indian Legal / Judicial System is manipulated at various stages & is for sale. It is a SHAME. The persons who raise their voice seeking justice are silenced in many ways. The criminal nexus has already attempted to silence me in many ways . If anything untoward happens to me or to my family members , my dependents , Honourable Chief Justice of India together with jurisdictional police officer will be responsible for it. Hereby, we do once again offer our conditional services to the honourable supreme court of India & other government authorities, in apprehending criminals including corrupt judges & police. Herewith , we once again appeal to the honourable supreme court of India , to consider this as a PIL Appeal in public interest. Consider the cases of sexual assault by JUDGES , POLICE on women . The JUDGES have legal immunity with respect to their official duties, official actions but not their

individual actions amounting to CRIMES. The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts , for others to emulate & follow. if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by the teacher. if the teacher himself makes a mistake , all his students will do the same mistake. if a thief steals , he can be caught , legally punished & reformed . if a police himself commits crime , many thieves go scot- free under his patronage. even if a police , public servant commits a crime , he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by the aggrieved. just think , if a judge himself that too of apex court of the land itself commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public and obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what happens ? it gives a booster dose to the rich & mighty , those in power , criminals in public service to committ more crimes. that is exactly what is happenning in india. the educated public must raise to the occassion & peacefully , democratically must oppose this criminalisation of judiciary , public service. then alone , we can build a RAM RAJYA OF MAHATMA GANDHI'S DREAM.

Hereby , we request the honourable court to reopen all hushed up old cases of sexual assault involving judges and to punish the guilty judges.

Law student sexually harassed by ex-Supreme Court judge: case is not unique, but speaking out is nearly impossible

http://www.legallyindia.com/201311114099/Interviews/sexual-harassment-supreme-courtis-common ,

In India , corruption , favouritism is prevalent in all recriutment / selection processes. The selection is made on bribe , caste , religion but definitely NOT on the basis of Merit & Integrity. The selection to the posts of even Supreme court Judges , quasi judicial officers like district magistrates , taluk magistrates , police , etc is not above board. For example we have recently seen the illegalities in KPSC interviews selecting gazetted officers to government of karnataka service. These tainted , ineligible unfit waste body candidates who get selected as judges , police through devious means sell their judicial orders , executive orders , police orders for a price. The denotfications of government lands , etc as in the case of Mysore DC Vastrad , as in the case of Neglect of Hebbal Lake &, BEML Quarters Lake Encroachment by DC Manivannan , as in the case of Land irregularities by Bangalore DC Aiyyappa , changing the penal clause of penal charges to favour the criminal as in the case of union carbides warren Anderson from mass murder to improper management of the facility , as in the case of Sanjay dutt from TADA charges to illegal possession of arms , etc. The police for a price fix innocents , file B reports favouring the criminals to close the case , prefer not to file an appeal in the higher court , etc. As in the case of Bofors , as in the case of past SP of chamarajanagar Puttaswamy taking bribe from a granite quarry owner for filing B-report in a case. Disgracefully , recently a judge tainted in MYSORE ROOST RESORT SEX SCANDAL was promoted as a supreme court judge. What Justice common folk can expect from these corrupt bodies ? They turn illegalities into legal issues by their orders. These CORRUPT Judges , Police , District Magistrates , Taluk Magistrates are doing more damage to Indias Unity & Integrity than the Naxalites & Terrorists. These corrupt public servants must be put behind bars together with terrorists & naxalites. Let the sense prevail & Democracy prosper. The Honest few in Judiciary , Police & Executive must raise upto the occasion to SAVE DEMOCRACY & to kick out their corrupt colleagues from office.

Yours Sincerely , Nagaraja.M.R.

Supreme Court zeroes in on harass judge; support for disclosure grows CJI lauded for probe order R. BALAJI New Delhi, Nov. 15: The Supreme Court appears to have identified the former judge who is accused of sexually assaulting at least two law interns while in office, sometime about two years ago. On the Chief Justice of Indias directions, the court registry has checked the intern-assignment records relating to judges who retired in the past two years, sources told The Telegraph. They said that while convention demanded that an intern work with a particular judge for only a month, the accused judge seemed to have insisted that the women interns work with him for six months. According to the sources, the feeling among the higher judiciary is that the judge should be named, if only to end the speculation about the other judges who retired recently. So far, the accused judge has not been named. Legal experts have complimented the Chief Justice for setting up a three-judge panel to probe the allegations after one intern came out with sexual assault charges on November 6. Since then, a second intern has made similar accusations against the same judge. Such a panel has no precedent in the Supreme Courts history, nor has any sitting or former apex court judge ever faced charges of sexual harassment at the workplace before. Legal experts said the Constitution had no provision for the apex court setting up such a committee but added that the top court could certainly do so under the extraordinary powers granted to it by Article 142. What the committee will do is question the first intern (she has been requested to appear before it on Monday, November 18) and then confront the accused judge. If the panel prima facie finds truth in the allegations, it can direct the police to register an FIR. A PTI report said police have initiated a preliminary probe into the case. If the judge is convicted of assaulting or using criminal force with intent to outrage a womans modesty (molesting her), he can be jailed for two years. A rape conviction can put him behind bars for life or at least 10 years. The Judges Protection Act 1985 grants judges and former judges immunity from prosecution for actions committed in the discharge of their official duties. The immunity does not apply to cases of molestation or rape as such offences cannot conceivably be a fallout of a judge performing his job, legal experts said. (Even) if the offence was committed while he was a sitting judge, he is amenable to all the laws of the country that apply to all ordinary citizens, said Jaspal Singh, a former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge who now practises as a lawyer in the Supreme Court. The allegations are very serious; the law will take its own course, he added. Asked if the judges panel had judicial sanctity, Singh said: (Such) charges against a judge of the Supreme Court are a very serious matter. They involve the institution and therefore they (the court) want to verify the charges before taking any action. Senior counsel Dushyant Dave said the CJI had done an extremely good thing by forming the panel to probe a brother judge. That this is an in-house committee owes not to any legal requirement but more to propriety, he said. He added that the police must not act unless and until the panel asked them to register an FIR, for neither has the accused been identified yet, nor has any of the interns lodged a formal complaint. If any third party has lodged a complaint without proper material, it makes no sense, Dave said. He added: Its a very serious charge; the judge concerned has to face the music.

Nothing but the truth By Indira Jaising A midst the rising din of the demand for death penalty for rapists comes the news that three judges of the Karnataka High Court have been involved in what has come to be described as a 'sex scandal' on the outskirts of Mysore at a place called Roost Resorts. Our attention is now directed to those who dispense justice rather than those who knock at the doors of justice. In both cases, we are talking about the use and abuse of women those who are victims of sexual abuse, and those who are used as sexual objects, willingly or unwillingly. After the reports in local newspapers that three high court judges were found with women at a resort, there was the usual crop of denials. Although the Mysore police were called in to settle a brawl, on being told that the persons in question were judges they said that they heard no evil and saw no evil. And everyone thought the matter ended there. Attempts to get the names of the judges or of the women in question drew a blank. The bar association also drew a blank as most people said, "Don't quote me but" On November 30, the Bangalore edition of The Times of India published a front-page story giving the names and photographs of the three judges and confirming that the Intelligence Bureau had done an investigation and come to the conclusion that the incident had indeed occurred. There were still no details of the incident, though it was stated that the report has been given to the chief justice of India. There were reports on the same day that the Karnataka High Court chief justice had sought the transfer of the three judges to Patna, Jammu and Kashmir and Guwahati. Apparently, the chief justice has agreed to this request and the transfer orders have been issued. Then came the news that the chief justice of India has set up a committee of inquiry under the 'inhouse' procedure consisting of the chief justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, the chief justice of the Madras High Court and the chief justice of the Patna High Court. There were still no details in the press about the actual incident and the entire episode continued to be referred to as a 'sex scandal'. What is interesting about these reports is not what they reveal, but what they conceal. It is a conspiracy of silence. If the information is now available to the chief justice of India, why is it not being made public? Do we, the public, not have the right to information? Ironically, the morning newspapers brought the news that the Freedom of Information Act has been passed. What are the legitimate limits of the right to freedom of information and the requirement of keeping information a secret? This episode would make an interesting case study. What exactly is at stake here? There is much that should concern the nation about the incident. This is not a case about the private morality of the judges, be that as it may, but about the abuse of office that they hold. What has not been made known is that the three women in question are women lawyers practising in their courts. What is at stake here is the pollution of the stream of justice at its very source. There must be countless cases in which these women appeared before these very judges day in and day out of their routine practice. Can one honestly say that in such a situation justice is being done "without fear or favour"? Judges swear on oath of allegiance to "bear true faith" to the Constitution and do justice "without fear or favour". How well have these judges honoured this oath? What is at stake here is the cynical use of women as sexual commodities. The usual justifications have already begun making the rounds. If the women have not complained, what objection can anyone else have, it is asked. What is lost sight of is the fact that the judges are in a position of dominance vis--vis the women, in a position to do favours that pertain to their office. What is at stake here is the cynical use of public office, the seat of justice, for personal petty gain. It is irrelevant whether the women consented or not. The usual blame game will now begin blaming the victim rather than the perpetrator; the usual loose talk about the character of the woman in question; the usual attempt to cover up by diverting attention from the actual incident to the motives of those who brought the incident to light. What is at stake here is the perception of women as sexual commodities by those who are responsible for sitting in judgment over cases brought for and on behalf of women. The issues at stake here concern one half of Indians. With what faith can Indian women approach the courts demanding the right to equality, the right to be free from sexual harassment or rape and the right to live with dignity, if the persecution of judges who sit in judgment over them is non-negotiable? In the circumstances, the suggested solution is worse than the offence to transfer them to Patna, Guwahati and Jammu and Kashmir. Why these particular cities? Are they not an integral part of the country, or are they mere islands within the country that are considered 'punishment postings' where people are sent a la 'crossing Kala Pani' of the old days? To the credit of the Guwahati Bar Association, it protested against the proposed transfer. The only decent thing to do is for the chief justice of India to disclose full details of the incident so that rumour-mongering comes to an end. This would be in the best interest of the judiciary itself. As things stand, the rumours are making the rounds that there were more than three judges involved, that the women were professional call girls, many of which are baseless. We, the people, have the right to know. The conspiracy of silence must be broken. The judges in question must neither be assigned any judicial functions pending an inquiry nor be transferred to sit in judgment over others. Two of the judges are stated to be additional judges. They must not be confirmed. If there is prima facie evidence against the one remaining judge, the chief justice must recommend his impeachment. It is time for all concerned bar associations, bar councils and other male-dominated bodies of legal professionals to act and ensure that there is no cover-up. There is little point in showing sympathy to women in judgments and in seminar rooms, or in recommending the death penalty for rape if we cannot deal with the men who dispense justice. There are contempt of court petitions pending in the Karnataka High Court against some of the publications for disclosing details of the incident. Civil society and women's organisations must demand that justice is now done when it comes to the judges themselves. The law of contempt can offer no solution to the crisis of credibility in the judiciary that this incident has thrown up. One positive aspect of the incident is that it is only after the chief justice of the high court issued a public notice inviting information that he received 20 representations, which led to the discovery of the truth. Let the truth now be made public.

Judge accused of molesting 2 rape survivors in UP

A sitting judicial magistrate sexually assaulted them

UP: Two rape victims claim that a sitting judicial magistrate sexually assaulted them. The girls alleged that when they went to the magistrates chamber to give their statement, he allegedly made them strip and molested them. One of the girls is a minor and the police have filed a complaint. The girls also claimed that the judge threatened them to not speak of the incident to anyone. Lawyers and the general public in Gonda launched a protest against the judge.

Another law intern alleges sexual harassment by a former SC judge

New Delhi: Another law intern has leveled allegations of sexual harassment against a former Supreme Court judge. A Supreme Court committee is already probing allegations made by another student and had asked her to appear before it. Earlier, a woman lawyer had written a blog in which she charged a former Supreme Court judge of sexually harassing her, while she interned with him in 2012. The woman lawyer who completed her law degree from National University of Jurdicial Sciences, Kolkata wrote is her blog, "In Delhi at that time, interning during the winter vacations of my final year in the University, I dodged police barricades and fatigue to go to the assistance of a highly reputed, recently retired Supreme Court judge whom I was working under during my penultimate semester. For my supposed diligence, I was rewarded with sexual assault (not physically injurious, but nevertheless violating) from a man old enough to be my grandfather." She had also claimed that at least three other girls have also faced harassment by the same judge. The girl said that she had refrained from disclosing the details initially due to the high position that the judge held. The Chief Justice of India said, "As the head of the institution, I am also concerned about the allegations and anxious whether the statement is true or not. The committee will go into the whole affair and find out the facts. We are taking steps and in cases of sexual harassment, we cannot take it lightly."

Another law student who interned with the Supreme Court has accused a now-retired judge of sexually harassing her, barely a week after similar charges were levelled by another intern. The latest allegations were made on a Facebook post on November 11 and reported by a law website, Legally India, on Thursday. The same website had given the link to the first interns blog, describing her ordeal. The Supreme Court has appointed a three-judge panel to inquiry into her allegations and the victim has been asked to record her statement on November 18. But unlike the first instance, the website this time has not given the link to the Facebook post or identified the woman. When contacted Kian Ganz, who reported both the incidents, told HT: I got to know about the second interns experience with the judge through the Facebook post.

However, I wasnt able to confirm if she wanted to go public. The second victim, too, was an intern with the same judge, the website said. HT, however, could not confirm the claims or the allegations independently. The two women cant be identified for legal reasons. The excerpts uploaded on Legally India on Thursday quote the second intern as saying she was at the receiving end of unsolicited sexual advance more than once. Both the interns knew each other, the report claimed. . we kept attributing all the signs of leeriness to our hypersensitivity... We discussed innocuously said off-colour remarks and dismissed their creepiness because we really respected him [the judge], and the possibility seemed at odds with everything we knew about him, his ideas about feminism, patriarchy, social justice..., the website quoted from the second interns post. The first intern had alleged that the judge had misbehaved with other women interns as well. The second intern said as much. In this case, we spoke to other women... and found out that there was a history to such behaviour. We also alerted some female senior faculty to the incident so that they would ensure that no female student was assigned work with him without being told to be on her guard. The website further quotes her as saying he promised, incidentally, that he would never misbehave with another lady. Maybe its naivet to believe him. Maybe its just youthful optimism. Being brave is tougher than it appears on the face of it, no? The post then goes on say that the judge lost his RAs [research assistants] and got a dressing down from a 23-year-old which should have come from his father. Why deprive girls from the chance to work with an illustrious mind because the mind is a little sick? A guy who gets the task would get a savvy CV and a better job opp (opportunity). We didnt want girls to be left at a disadvantage, the post, as uploaded on Legally India, read.

Law student sexually harassed by ex-Supreme Court judge: case is not unique, but speaking out is nearly impossible

A law graduate who recently blogged about how a retired Supreme Court judge sexually assaulted her while she was his intern, says that the problem is real and not uncommon amongst the judiciary and senior bar but that she sees few if any ways of tackling it. Stella James, who graduated from NUJS Kolkata this year and now works at the NGO Natural Justice, Lawyers for Communities and the Environment, wrote about an alleged incident of physical, sexual assault by an unnamed, retired Supreme Court judge in late 2012. In a post that was published on the blog of the NUJS Journal of Indian Law and Society on 6 November, she wrote about trying to come to terms with her experience of 24 December 2012, Christmas Eve, ironically against the backdrop of the then-ongoing Delhi gang rape protests: In Delhi at that time, interning during the winter vacations of my final year in University, I dodged police barricades and fatigue to go to the assistance of a highly reputed, recently retired Supreme Court judge whom I was working under during my penultimate semester. For my supposed diligence, I was rewarded with sexual assault (not physically injurious, but nevertheless violating) from a man old enough to be my grandfather. I wont go into the gory details, but suffice it to say that long after Id left the room, the memory remained, in fact, still remains, with me. Frankly I was really shocked, James tells Legally India in an interview today. Theres this thing: a person who is a Supreme Court judge - you dont expect a Supreme Court judge to harass somebody. However, she says that her experience was neither uncommon, nor merely restricted to the judiciary: Ive heard of three other cases [of sexual harassment] by the same judge and I know of at least four other girls whove faced harassment from other judges - not perhaps as [bad as mine]: most of them were in the chambers of the judge and other people around, so it never gets too bad. A girl I know faced continuous sexual harassment throughout and sexual advances, and actually faced troubles through her work because of it. And she says shes heard of Supreme Court senior counsel who have made passes at or have continuously harassed interns for longer periods. And though it is barely, if at all, known outside legal circles, it is a bit of an open secret or a big joke within the profession, particularly among clerks and women working in the Supreme Court, according to James. People in the Supreme Court kind of know, she says. I did my internship through the college [recruitment process]. After beginning to share her experience with others in college, however, James found that others had also faced similar problems with the same judge. James reasons for not going public with the name of the judge or not lodging a formal complaint are complex, both morally and practically. On the one hand, she wrote in the blog post: I bore, and still bear, no real ill-will towards the man, and had no desire to put his lifes work and reputation in question. On the other hand, I felt I had a responsibility to ensure that other young girls were not put in a similar situation. But I have been unable to find a solution that allows that. Despite the heated public debates, despite a vast army of feminist vigilantes, despite new criminal laws and sexual harassment laws, I have not found closure. The lack of such an alternative led to my facing a crippling sense of intellectual and moral helplessness. Id worked for him for six months and he treated me really well for six months and has been really kind to me, James explains. It was rather strange to me but I havent really forgiven him for it [But] I dont know if I want to let myself - my impression of him as a person - be entirely dictated by that act My leeway to him isnt because hes had a shining career and all that - part of it is that [but] Im not really sure I want to ruin somebodys entire life because of that. Once it gets out in the open that hes harassed other girls, James says, people will only look at him in that light. However, James admits that one other strong reason, which was not really touched upon in her blog post, was concern about whether legal action would even have any effect. James had managed to reach two of the other young women who were harassed by the same judge but neither were willing to come forward in public, mostly out of fear. They dont really want to jeopordise their careers, James relates. Hes a Supreme Court judge. If its going to be his word against our word, hes got more credibility, so to speak, of his words. And she adds that if she by herself had wanted to take legal action, it would probably not have been possible. There were no other witnesses, it was just me. It was a hotel room, [people] saw me walking in voluntarily, saw me walking out very calmly. I didnt even walk out [with] fear. At that moment I felt I needed to walk out very calmly. I never mentioned anything the same day to anybody.

Apart from the evidentiary difficulty in proving the crime, the more serious problem for lawyers is perhaps inherent in the profession itself. James said she had never heard of any official harassment complaints within the legal profession or against any judges. And while Legally India understands that sexual harassment complaints are at times made in law firms, most are handled very delicately and quietly, with the firm encouraging informal resolution. In courts, it is even worse, speculates James, in that there is usually no one you can realistically complain to, unlike in a company or college structure where harassed by a boss or lecturer, for example, and where she would have taken formal action in a similar incident. Of course you can file a criminal complaint [against a judge or lawyer] but thats a whole different level. And it is also likely to impact your career. I know a friend of mine who was sexually harassed at the Karnataka high court, says James. That friend wasnt keeping it a secret and telling lawyer friends about why she left the job with that senior, and for two months afterwards she wasnt able to find a job at the same court, being asked about the incident in interviews after it dripped through the courts grapevine (she eventually found a job after deciding to evade the issue at interviews). The mindset in such cases often is, she created trouble for him, shell create trouble for us, speculates James. She says she was also skeptical about the Supreme Courts recently started sexual harassment cell and guidelines improving matters considerably. It is often one persons word against another persons word, and a lot of people tend not to take the word of a young lawyer against a senior advocate whos made his reputation for 10 to 15 years. There is a balance of power thing going on here. The only thing that James has been able to do, other than write the blog, is discuss the incident with members of her alma mater, possibly de-listing the judge from the recruitment process so that others are not exposed to similar experiences. While James does feel that colleges have a responsibility to protect their students, she acknowledges that it could be difficult. The judge in question has been closely associated with her former college for a while by giving lectures and regularly taking on research assistants, so whether faculty can take unequivocal action is not certain. Nevertheless, James says that potentially recruitment committees of colleges could make a difference. I think at least there should be some way, if not publicly then at least privately, kids who go intern with a judge should know that this has happened before. James says that she was able to come forward, albeit without disclosing names, because of her choice to work with an NGO with a possible view to entering academia at some point in her career. I was a little afraid, she admits. The other friends Ive spoken about, they are in positions where these judges play an important role [at the Supreme Court or teaching in a college and they] are afraid of jeopardising their careers. I dont have such concerns here at Natural Justice - I have a team thats incredibly supportive, and three colleagues were first to read the blog post [before publication]. For me, the great thing is that Im in an organisation where I know that if I come out in public about it, we are 25 people, and Im pretty sure Ill have the entire team behind me. That lawyers elsewhere are unlikely or unable to protect their own from sexual harassment, is a problem the profession will have to deal with sooner rather than later.

Update 12 November: The Chief Justice of India has decided to institute a three-member judicial committee to probe the allegation.

JUDGE SENDING OBSCENE SMS TO WOMEN

Lucknow Taking cognisance of the allegation against a civil Judge (junior division) of Budaun court that he sent obscene SMSes to a woman lecturer, the Registrar General of Allahabad High Court today sought a report from the district judge into the matter. The civil judge of Gunnor sub-division court of Budaun Pramod Kumar Gangwar was accused of sending obscene SMSes from his cellphone to a woman lecturer of Classic College of Law, Bareilly. A lecturer of the same college, Vivek Gupta, was named in the FIR lodged by the victim while Gangwars name surfaced in the primary investigation. Registrar General Dinesh Gupta said, The district judge of Budaun has been asked to send a detailed report into the allegations. Appropriate action would be taken on the basis of the report. District Judge Suresh Kumar Srivastava said, I have asked the Bareilly district police to send a report about the matter. The report on the basis of the police inquiry would be sent to the Allahabad High Court Registrar General. I am not aware about the matter, as the Bareilly police did not intimate me before initiating the probe against the civil judge. They should have informed me when they had received any such complaint, the judge added. Meanwhile, Bareilly CO II Raj Kumar, who is investigating the case, today recorded the statement of the victim. I have collected the call details of the cellphone used for sending the SMSes, but I have yet to get the address of the person who is subscriber of the SIM card, he said. The probe is on to verify if the accused in the case were present on the location recorded in the call details when the SMSes were sent. The details of the findings of the investigation would be sent to the Budaun district court to seek the direction, the CO added. Asked if the investigation was earlier conducted into the matter, Raj Kumar said, The SP (Crime) had initiated probe into the matter, but I am not aware if the investigation had reached to any conclusion. The woman lecturer had lodged an FIR at the Mahila police station on Thursday alleging she had received obscene SMSes on her cellphone involving her colleague Vivek Gupta. The preliminary inquiry into the case by the police yesterday had found that the mobile phone used in the crime belongs to the civil judge.

IB confirms Mysore Roost Resort sex scandal

The Intelligence Bureau has provided the Centre with a detailed account of the escapade involving three Karnataka High Court judges on November 3 in a resort on the outskirts of Mysore, highly placed sources told The Times of India on Friday. According to a senior official, Most of the information sought has not only confirmed the veracity of the incident but the government has crosschecked it with another police agency. Both the reports match. The incident was widely reported in the media. What has surprised the Centre is the dogged refusal of the Karnataka police to confirm the incident. Mysore Police Commissioner C. Chandrasekhar first denied that the incident ever took place. Only when a public notice was issued through the high court registrar seeking information on the Mysore scandal, did the facts come out in the open. Public protest helped a lot, says the source. What transpired at the resort, says the source, cannot be expected from anyone in civil society, leave alone persons sworn to upholding the law. According to him, The IB report consists of unmentionable facts and also makes it amply clear that the Mysore incident is not the first time such things have happened. Can anyone expect upholders of the law to pick a fight with people who complained to the police when caught in a compromising position? In a related development, Karnataka High Court Chief Justice N.K. Jain has written to Chief Justice of India Justice G.B. Pattanaik asking that three judges be transferred. Jain has proposed that Justice N.S. Veerabhadraiah be transferred to the Patna High Court, Justice Chandrasekharaiah to Jammu & Kashmir and Justice V. Gopala Gowda to the Gauhati High Court. While Jain is understood not to have given any reasons, highly placed sources say the proposal for transfers is linked to the Mysore incident. However, the source says that now the government is worried about the appropriate remedial measures. In such cases, transferring a judge to a remote high court doesnt always work. He says, Bar associations and the people of northeastern states were up in arms when some judges of the Punjab and Haryana high courts were transferred there. We expect similar protests if the CJI accepts Justice Jains proposal to transfer the three judges of the Karnataka High Court. The Bar Council of India on Friday, while expressing its anguish at the Karnataka incident, called for follow-up action. Unless prompt and appropriate action is taken, it will erode the faith of public in the only institution considered to be the bastion of our fighting faith in democracy, it said in a statement. The BCI has lamented inaction in this case by the higher judiciary and the government.

Lokayukta: DC demanded sex from widow

In the midst of a national outrage over former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore molesting a teenager, the Karnataka Lokayukta on Saturday made a startling revelation that the state government was shielding a top bureaucrat who had demanded sexual favours from a young widow. Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde disclosed that the official concerned, who was the deputy commissioner of one of the districts when he demanded sex from the widow in return for discharging his duties as public servant, has since been promoted to a senior position. Justice Hegde, in the course of an interaction with journalists at the Deccan Herald office Saturday afternoon, said the unnamed widow had dared the deputy commissioner and approached the Lokayuktas office with a complaint against the officer. On examination of the complaint, the Lokayukta had found sufficient grounds to recommend to the state government the suspension and prosecution of the DC concerned. The recommendation was subsequently considered by the concerned department head as well as the chief secretary and both endorsed it. But, according to Justice Hegde, no action was initiated against the DC as the same official who had endorsed the recommendation subsequently found no basis for initiating departmental action against him. Instead, the official cleared the DCs name for promotion in the super-scale. Presently, the official holds a senior position in the government. The widow, in her late 20s, had approached the DC with a representation to sort out some problems. But she was shocked when the DC demanded sex. Justice Hegde did not identify the official in question or the complainant. Nor did he offer to name the district where the official was serving as deputy commissioner. But the incident has happened sometime in the course of last three years as Justice Hegde took over as the Lokayukta in mid-2006.

3-year jail term for dirty judge

Family court judge Ramrao Gangaram Bhise attempted to get sexual favours from a housewife in 1997 Family court judge Ramrao Gangaram Bhises attempts to extract sexual favours, in addition to a bribe, from a housewife, Alka Gaikwad who had sought an increase in her monthly maintenance allowance from her estranged husband, in 1997 proved costly to him. Pronouncing him guilty on both counts, the special court hearing anti-corruption bureau (ACB) matters sentenced him to three years rigorous imprisonment and a collective fine of Rs55, 000, on Monday. According to the FIR in the case registered against Bhise by the ACB, Suryakant Gaikwad had filed for divorce from his wife, Alka, before the Bandra family court. Alka, a housewife, in turn, filed a petition seeking mutual cohabitation with her husband. The then family court judge, Meera

Khadakkar, directed the husband to pay her an interim maintenance allowance of Rs750 per month. Subsequently, in January 1997, Alka filed another application before the same family court (now presided over by Bhise) seeking to increase the monthly maintenance amount to Rs3,500. On October 27, 1997, Bhise issued an interim order, increasing the maintenance allowance to Rs2,000 to be paid by Suryakan to his estranged wife till the disposal of the case. Immediately after issuing the order, Bhise asked Alka to meet him and gave her his residential telephone number, asking her to call him when the court hours ended. He told her that he would ask her husband to pay her a lump sum of Rs2 lakh in addition to the monthly maintenance, provided she called him up, the FIR states. When she called up the judge at 7 pm the same day, Bhise told her that she would have to pay him a sum of Rs2,000 in addition to granting his sexual favours if she wanted an order in her favour. He also directed her to meet him at the Haji Ali bus stop with the bribe amount the following evening. Alka approached the ACB, which sought permission from the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court before laying a trap on the first class judicial magistrate (Bhise). The HC while granting the permission designated a court official to bear witness to the events leading to the trap. Alka, under video camera surveillance of ACB sleuths, along with the court official and other women witnesses met Bhise at 8.30 pm at the Haji Ali bus stop. Bhise took hold of Alkas wrist and when she protested, repeated his demands, the FIR states. Alka was then taken to a nearby hotel, Sharda, where the judge accepted the bribe amount. But before he could do anything else, ACB sleuths swooped in and arrested him.

Rajasthan judge is indicted for seeking sexual favours

Chief Justice of India G B Pattanaik retires tonight and he doesnt have much to write home about on the unprecedented drive he launched to enforce judicial accountability. After the PPSC scam fiasco, reported in The Indian Express today, comes the case of the Rajasthan judge who has been indicted in a sex scandal and yet has escaped actionpending another inquiry. On December 14, a three-judge committee set up by Pattanaik confirmed the involvement of Justice Arun Madan of the Rajasthan High Court in a proposition to a woman doctor to have sex with him in exchange for a judicial favour. The committee, headed by the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Justice B K Roy, submitted its report to Pattanaik, indicting Madan on a complaint made from Jodhpur by the woman concerned, Sunita Malviya. But Pattanaik has not announced any action against Madan. When contacted by The Indian Express, Pattanaik confirmed that the committee had indicted Madan and his bad reputation in seeking sexual favours in return for judicial ones. However, Pattanaik said that no action was being taken since the committee had also mentioned allegations of corruption against Madan. And so he had ordered a further inquiry by the same committee into the corruption charges. When asked what he did with the indictment of Madan in the sex scandal, Pattanaik said, That is on hold because I could not have taken piecemeal action against him.I am praying to God that the final report will give some tangible material to take action. Highly placed sources told The Indian Express that when the committee recorded statements last week in Jodhpur of about 30 persons over four days, it also came to know of several allegations of corruption against Madan and another judge of the same high court. The committee put these on record as well. Pattanaik said that when he summoned Madan to New Delhi last week, he did not raise the sex scandal issue and instead limited himself to saying that he was ordering a further inquiry into corruption allegations. In effect, Pattanaik has now passed the Rajasthan buck to his successor Justice V N Khare. The gist of Malviyas complaint is that Madan made a sexual proposition to her in October through a deputy registrar of the high court, Govind Kalwani, who said that the judge would help her, in turn, get out of a criminal case booked against her. With this, Pattanaiks much-touted in-house judicial accountability seems to have hit a wall. The first committees report into the PPSC scam exonerated one judge despite evidence and let two others off with a mere slap on the wrist. The third committee is now busy probing the involvement of judges in the Mysore sex scam.

Ten reasons why criminals in khaki get away Siddharth Varadarajan

Behind every man like S.P.S. Rathore who abuses his authority stand the generals and footsoldiers who help and support him. We need to take them all down. S.P.S. Rathore, the criminal former top cop of Haryana, may appear alone today but we must never forget that he was able to get away with the sexual molestation of a young child and the illegal harassment of her family for 19 years because he had hundreds of men who supported him in his effort to evade justice. The fact that these men fellow police officers, bureaucrats, politicians, lawyers, judges, school administrators were willing to bend the system to accommodate a man accused of molesting a minor speaks volumes for the moral impoverishment of our establishment and country. Decent societies shun those involved in sexual offences against children. Even criminals jailed for `ordinary' crimes like murder treat those serving time for molesting children as beyond the pale. But in India, men like Rathore have their uses for their masters, so the system circles its wagons and protects them. The CBI's appeal may lead to the enhancement of Rathore's sentence and perhaps even the slapping of abetment to suicide charges, since his young victim killed herself to put an end to the criminal intimidation her family was being subjected to by Rathore and his men. But the systemic rot which the case has exposed will not be remedied unless sustained public pressure is put on

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, two men who have it in their power to push for simple remedies in the way the Indian law enforcement and justice delivery system works. First, abolish the need for official, i.e. political sanction to prosecute bureaucrats, policemen and security forces personnel when they are accused of committing crimes. The original intent behind this built-in stay-out-of-jail card was to protect state functionaries from acts done in the course of discharging their duties in good faith. Somewhere along the line, this has come to mean protecting our custodians of law and order when they murder innocent civilians (eg. the infamous Panchalthan case in Kashmir where the trial of army men indicted by the CBI for murdering five villagers in 2000 still cannot take place because the Central government will not grant permission), or assault or molest women and children. No civilised, democratic society grants such impunity. It is disgusting to see former officials and bureaucrats from Haryana saying how they had wanted Rathore prosecuted but were prevented from doing so because of pressure. Such officials should either be made formally to testify in a criminal case against the politicians who so pressured them or they should themselves be hauled up for perverting the course of justice. Second, stop talking about how making the police and army answerable to the law will somehow demoralise their morale. Does anybody care about the morale of ordinary citizens any more? Or the morale of upright police and army officers, who do not think it is right for their colleagues to be able to get away with criminal acts? Third, bring an end to the cosy relationship between the police and politicians. Rathore was protected by four chief ministers of Haryana. He served them and they served him by ensuring his unfettered rise. It is absurd that the Indian Police is still governed by a colonial-era Act dating back to 1861. A number of commissions have made recommendations for reforming the police over the years; but no government or political party wants to give up its ability to use and misuse the police for their own benefit Fourth, ensure that police officers who abuse their authority and engage in mala fide prosecutions are dismissed from service and sentenced to jail for a long period of time. Mr. Chidambaram should use the considerable resources at his command to find out who were the policemen involved in filing 11 bogus cases against the teenaged brother of the young girl Rathore molested. He should then make sure criminal proceedings are initiated against all of them. The message must go out to every policeman in the country: If you abuse the law at the behest of a superior, you will suffer legal consequences. Fifth, ensure that criminal charges against law enforcement personnel are fast-tracked as a matter of routine so that a powerful defendant is not able to use his position to delay proceedings the way Rathore did for years on end. The destruction or disappearance of material evidence in such cases must be treated as a grave offence with strict criminal liability imposed on the individual responsible for breaking the chain of custody. Sixth, empower the National Human Rights Commission with teeth so that police departments and state governments cannot brush aside their orders as happened in the Rathore case. This would also require appointing to the NHRC women and men who have a proven record of defending human rights in their professional life, something that is done today only in the breach. The attitude of the Manmohan Singh government to this commission and others like the National Commission for Women (NCW) and National Commission for Minorities is shocking. Vacancies are not filled for months on end. Seventh, ensure the early enactment of pending legislation broadening the ambit of sexual crimes, including sexual crimes against children. Between rape, defined as forced penetrative sex, and the vague, Victorian-era crime of `outraging the modesty of a woman', the Indian Penal Code recognises no other form of sexual violence. As a result, all forms of sexual molestation and assault short of rape attract fairly lenient punishment, of the kind Rathore got. In his case, the judge did not even hand down the maximum sentence, citing concerns for the criminal's age. Sadly, he did not take into account the age of the victim and neither does the IPC, which fails to distinguish between `outraging the modesty' of an adult woman and a young child. A draft law changing these provisions and bringing India into line with the rest of the modern world has been pending with the NCW and Law Ministry for years. Perhaps the government may now be shamed into pushing it through Parliament at the earliest. Eighth, take steps to introduce a system of protection of witnesses and complainants. The fate that the family of Rathore's young victim had to endure is testament to the fact that people who seek justice in India do so at their own peril. Ninth, ensure that robust interrogation techniques like narco-analysis, which are routinely used against other alleged criminals, are also employed against police officers accused of crimes. Tenth, the media and the higher judiciary must also turn the light inward and ask themselves whether they were also derelict in their duty. The Rathore case did not attract the kind of constant media attention it deserved, nor do other cases involving serving police officers accused of crimes against women, workers, peasants and minorities. As for the upper courts, their record is too patchy to inspire confidence. It was, after all, the high court which chose to disregard the CBI's request for including abetment to suicide charges.

Porbandar judge accused of dowry harassment

A complaint has been filed against District and Sessions judge of Porbandar for allegedly harassing his daughter-in-law for dowry, police said here on Sunday. Darshana Dave, a native of Amreli, has filed a complaint against her husband Kinnar, fatherinlaw and district judge Arvind Dave, mother-in-law Pratibha and brother-in-law Prashant, the police added. Darshana married Kinnar two years ago. Her complaint says that she was harassed from the beginning, and was even beaten up by the husband and in-laws, who were demanding Rs 10 lakh as dowry. She has also alleged that she was thrown out of the house a few months back, and her husband is now seeking divorce, the police said.

Amreli Superintendent of Police H R Muliyana confirmed to have received the complaint against the judge and others. He said that action will be taken after verifying the complaint. This is the second complaint related to dowry harassment filed against a judge in the state in the recent past. Earlier, a woman had filed a complaint against additional sessions judge of Jetpur after her daughter and the judge's wife committed suicide.

Gurgaon judge to also face dowry harassment charge

Gurgaon's Chief Judicial Magistrate Ravneet Garg, booked for the murder of his wife, will also face dowry harassment charge, police here said Monday. Police have issued notices to the CJM's father K.K. Garg and mother Rachna Garg, who have also been named in the dowry harassment case. The CJM's father reached here Monday morning from Haryana's Panchkula town and contacted police, who wanted to question him. "We had called CJM's parents...K.K. Garg was questioned by special investigation team (SIT)," Gurgaon Police Commissioner Alok Mittal said. Mittal said on the basis of written complaint filed by the parents of the CJM's wife Geetanjali, penal sections of dowry harassment and extra-marital affair were included in the FIR lodged against the CJM Saturday. Geetanjali, 24, bore three bullet wounds - on her chin, chest and stomach - but no bullets were found in her body that was recovered here Thursday. The CJM's licensed firearm was found near the body, police said. Mittal said two bullets were seized from the scene of crime and would be sent for ballistic examination Monday, a day after ballistic experts examined the crime spot. "The SIT Sunday questioned two women relatives of Ravneet Garg for hours at his government allotted house here in the Officers Colony," said Mittal. "We have asked CJM to produce supporting evidences to prove his statement," he said. The CJM allegedly said that his driver and domestic help may throw some light on his wife's death. Judge Garg's in-laws alleged that two cars were provided to the accused on his and his family's demand. Rs.2 lakh were also delivered to him at the time of the admission of his daughters in school in May. Geetanjali's brother Pradeep Aggarwal Saturday lodged a first information report against Garg and his parents, accusing them of murder. "Ravneet and Geetanjali got married in November 2007. Everything was fine for a few years but the attitude of Ravneet and his parents towards Geetanjali started changing after she delivered two baby girls (now aged around four and a half and three years)," Aggarwal said in his complaint. He demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into his sister's murder.

SP nabbed by Karnataka Lokayukta

Daijiworld Media Network Kolar (SP) Kolar, Nov 28 2009 : Kolar district superintendent of police, K P Puttaswamy, was to proceed for a 40-day special training scheduled to be held in Hyderabad, on Saturday November 28. He was caught by the Lokayukta police, while accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 from a subordinate worker a day before. Based on a complaint filed by a constable from the town police station here, a Lokayukta team led by superintendent of police (SP), Madhukar Shetty and others caught the SP redhanded. The team which raided the house of the SP recovered Rs 1.65 lac in cash. As per the information provided by the Lokayukta team, P P Prakash, who is an exserviceman, working as a constable in the town police station here, had become ill and gone on leave. After rejoining the duties, he failed to provide details and certificates. After the departmental inquiry was conducted against him for this lapse, the constable apologized. However, instead of showing lenience, the department conducted another inquiry against him. At that time, Prakash is said to have approached the superintendent of police, who reportedly demanded a bribe of Rs 25,000 to show lenience in the case. Even after he paid it, Prakash was handed the punishment of compulsory retirement from service. When Prakash approached the SP in this connection, the latter reportedly demanded an additional Rs 10,000 from him for favouring him. Frustrated, Prakash directly went to the office of the Lokayukta in Bangalore and complained about this harassment. At around 12.30 pm on Friday, the constable entered the office of the SP with Rs 10,000 in his hand and placed a packet of Rs 100 notes on the SPs table. At the time the SP touched cash, a burqa-clad lady constable of the Lokayukta suddenly entered the room, resisting attempts by the guard to stop her. As she signalled other Lokayukta officials, they rushed into the room and caught the SP off guard. The Lokayukta succeeded in maintaining so much secrecy, that long after the SP was caught, many in the office were unaware of the incident. Even the additional superintendent of police, Phanindra Singh, was informed about the incident later. It is said that the SP initially did not cooperate, but later, apologized for his action. Simultaneously, the Lokayukta personnel raided the SPs house. 46 year-old Puttaswamy, who was promoted from the KSP cadre to the IPS grade in 1997, had taken over as the superintendent of police of the district in the year 2008. He happens to be the second IPS officer in the state to have been nabbed by the Lokayukta.

SP ARRESTED ON GRAFT CHARGE BY Karnataka lokayukta

March 14 2008

Srikantappa BANGALORE: The Lokayukta police on Thursday arrested a Superintendent of Police for allegedly accepting bribe from a businessman in Chamarajanagar. Additional Director-General of Police (Lokayukta) R.K. Datta told presspersons here that Lokayukta officers arrested Chamarajanagar District Superintendent of Police Srikantappa for allegedly accepting Rs. 50,000 from S.M. Farooq for closing a case registered against him and allowing him to continue with sand mining. Srikantappas associate, Subbanna, who allegedly acted as the middleman, has also been arrested. Mr. Datta said there were several complaints of harassment and demands for bribe against Srikantappa. One such complaint was filed by Mr. Farooq. As the complaint was against a senior officer, we took every precaution, Mr. Datta said. A team, led by Deputy Inspector General of Police (Lokayukta) K.S.R. Charan Reddy, was sent from Bangalore to Chamarajanagar on Wednesday. The Lokayukta police went to Srikantappas house and surveyed the exit points. On Thursday, Mr. Farooq sent the money through his manager Akbar, who went to Srikantappas house with Subbanna, who allegedly struck the deal between the businessman and Srikantappa. Subbanna took the money to the Superintendent of Police while Akbar waited in another room. When Subbanna and Akbar came out of the house, the Lokayukta police team entered the house and frisked Srikantappa. He had hidden the cash between his shirt and vest. He has been booked for demanding and accepting bribe, Lokayukta N. Santosh Hegde said. The cash has been seized. Mr. Farooq got embroiled in the affair as he was being harassed for bribes by a forester at a check-post to allow transportation of sand. Mr. Farooq then filed a complaint with the Chamarajanagar (East) police. The forester also filed a complaint against Mr. Farooq accusing him of obstructing him while carrying out his official duty. The investigating officer did not find any substance in the foresters complaint and wanted to close the case. However, Srikantappa sent a message to the investigating officer, through a sub-inspector, asking him not to close the case until further orders from him, the Lokayuta said. Srikantappa approached the businessman through Subbanna seeking Rs. 25,000 to get the case closed and an additional Rs. 25,000 to let Mr. Farooq continue with his business. Subsequently, the businessman filed a complaint with the Lokayukta, Mr. Hegde said.

More Corrupt the Police are, More unsafe are our People - By K B GANAPATHY It is sickening. It is nauseating. It is vulgar. It is dirty. It is a sin and above all, it is a crime beyond any ameliorating circumstances. The punishment for this crime should be a real deterrent and must not take more than a month to award. I am talking about the crime committed by the Kolar SP, K. P. Puttaswamy, IPS, who was caught red - handed while taking a bribe of Rs.10, 000 from a civil Police Constable P.P. Prakash by the Bangalore Lokayukta Police on November 27. When the crime was committed in Kolar, how is it that the Bangalore Lokayukta took action? This is not a million dollar question. This is a million dollar shame on the honesty and integrity of our Police force itself (honourable exceptions are honourably exempted here). I understand the reason is that the Lokayukta Police officers in Kolar are too compassionate and considerate in nabbing criminals and corrupt persons in their own turf (department). Earlier, three attempts were made to catch this cornucopia of a corrupt person called Puttaswamy, but he was alerted in time. Thus the local Lokayukta failed in its mission.

Kolar SP Puttaswamy Constable Prakash, the victim of Puttaswamys greed, avarice and craving for money knew this very well. It was for this reason, he had to approach the Bangalore Lokayukta (Phone: 9845000022). Naturally this time, the Lokayukta operation was a complete success.

Complainant Mr. P. P. Prakash Think of the depth of demand from Puttaswamy and you will know how fathomless it is. I am reminded of a Tamil film Anniyan. The Constable Prakash had already given Rs.25, 000 as bribe (which in fact is also an offence). But the greedy SP, Puttaswamy, in order to make a killing out of this Constable seeking permission for voluntary retirement from service under VRS, recommended his dismissal. This made the Constable nervous as he would lose his pension and other benefits. P. P. Prakash, the Constable, now aged 47, hailing from South Kodagu, near Ponnampet (Pullangada family) served in the Indian Army Signals for seven years and then joined the Police Department in Kolar and has served for 20 years. Of late, he was not keeping good health and hence took medical permission for 13 months leave sick leave. It appears he was supposed to submit a Doctors certificate from time to time during this period. He did not do so as it is not compulsory, and rarely insisted upon, he says. However, in this case the Kolar SP K. P. Puttaswamy ordered a Departmental Enquiry (DE) against him. Realising that this enquiry would take at least 5 to 6 months to complete and as he was in a hurry to take VRS he decided to apologise for the inadvertent lapse. Subsequent to the apology submitted by him to the DE Officer, the Dy. SP, the DE was closed and the report sent to the Superintendent of Police, K.P. Puttaswamy. See how greed for money tears away the human face of a human being. The Superintendent of Police, Puttaswamy, returning the file to the Enquiry Officer, the Dy. SP, asked him to re -examine the Departmental Enquiry. Constable Prakash says that normally if one admits his fault, in cases such as this, no re examination of DE is necessary. However, Constable Prakash thought there was no use pursuing the path of law to get his VRS from an Officer like K. P. Puttaswamy and decided to talk to him. And he did. It was here he agreed to pay the demanded amount of Rs. 25,000 to this corrupt SP for two favours: (1) To withdraw the Departmental Enquiry after a warning and pardon. (2) To grant permission for the VRS. After making this payment of Rs. 25,000, the Constable Prakash was happily waiting at his native place for VRS permission. However, after two months, to his utter shock he received a notice about his Compulsory Retirement which tantamounted to dismissal from service. He rushed to Kolar and met the Superintendent of Police, K.P. Puttaswamy, on 24th November when he was told: Okay, I will see. (Aayitu Noduva) On further pleadings from the Constable, Puttaswamy wrote on a piece of paper just, 10,000 and spoke with his head and eyes pushing the paper towards the Constable to see the figure. Since the Constable found the new demand too much for him to bear, he decided to retaliate. He knew there was no use complaining to the Kolar Lokayukta which could not trap this corrupt SP three times earlier on others' complaints. So Constable P. P. Prakash straight away went to Bangalore and met Roop Kumar Datta, the ADGP, a wonderful person who is known to attend to complaints promptly in confidence without any delay. He knew, speed is the secret of success not only in love and war but also in Lokayukta operations. He immediately called another smart officer, Superintendent of Police (SP) Madhukar Shetty and lo and behold the operation was successful. Prakash, the Constable, says that the Kolar SP had his moles in his office keeping an eye on the Lokayukta complainants and officers who may be around. In case of suspicion, information was passed on to him and the SP will not see such visitors. Hence, this time the Bangalore Lokayukta got smart. Waiting at the SP's door to see him was a burqaclad lady Constable and a Police Sub - Inspector disguised as a Muslim with full makeup, wearing a beard hired from a clothier to dramas. One more person was also there with bandages, dhoti and chappals who would see the SP only after his "Doddavaru" (elder) came there. Thus there was absolutely no room for suspicion for the Policemen on duty at the SPs door. Since Prakash was already known,

he was allowed in. During the course of conversation, the Superintendent of Police K. P. Puttaswamy, alert and smart, told his supplicant Prakash Naale Banni [Come tomorrow] three times. Then Prakash gave the cover with the money inside, as pre - arranged by the Lokayukta. Puttaswamy instinctively stretched his hand to receive it but quickly withdrew, lifted a file, placed it on the table and asked Prakash to keep the cover below the file. The latter obliged. However, while handling the file Puttaswamy unknowingly touched the cover to push it properly under the file. I will call the GSA and get the file and ask him to do the needful, said the SP who did not forget to speak aloud Beda (Dont want) all the while taking care not to touch the cover or money. But to his bad luck he had already touched the cover, though unknowingly, rather accidentally. Well, when Prakash came out, the Lokayukta walked in. Rest is breaking news in TV channels and headlines in newspapers. And indeed the complainant P. P. Prakash did teach his corrupt boss a lesson which the people of our State think will be a lesson for the likes of K. P. Puttaswamy, IPS, in office. But no. Earlier, another Superintendent of Police, B. Srikantappa of Chamarajanagar too was trapped by the Lokayukta while receiving a bribe of Rs. 50,000 from a sand transporter against whom a charge sheet was filed.The sand transporter wanted Srikantappa to help him by filing a B report to the Court (B report is one where Police investigate the case and then file a report to the court saying there is no substance in the complaint or there is no prima facie case as such). The case will then be closed. Interestingly, the same K. P. Puttaswamy was the Additional SP in Chamarajanagar at that time, when his boss B. Srikantappa was caught in the snare set by the Lokayukta. Yet, K. P. Puttaswamy, now SP at Kolar, did not learn any lesson from the past experience of his boss. Therefore, no matter how many Police officers the Lokayukta catches, it would be business as usual for these government officers including those of the IAS, IFS and IPS class. It is said habits die hard. These two officers are from the Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) who rose to the rank of IPS after years of service in the lower rank. It is universally known corruption at the lower level in the Police force happens on a daily basis and therefore even after the elevation to the IPS, the habit must have continued, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, as if it is a natural part of the job. Habits indeed never die. At another level, it is not as if those who enter service directly from IPS are not corrupt. If only a honest and aggressive investigation is made into the wealth amassed and properties acquired by these officers (including the benami angle), one will find a can of sinister worms crawling all over the place. While a Police Constable may collect on a daily basis a few hundred rupees and on occasions a few thousands, these IPS officers (exceptions apart) make a killing in one deal and like the Python which after swallowing an animal lies languidly for months, these officers strut around with an aura of honesty, till the next victim comes by. Be that as it may, the point to ponder is whether the governments recruitment policy, specially in departments like Police, Excise and Revenue, needs to be changed to ensure the kinds of B. Srikantappa and K. P. Puttaswamy are not recruited at all or promoted. In case they are recruited they must be dismissed from service if caught red-handed and found guilty, rather than merely suspending them, only to be reinstated later or let them off with minor punishment. Just as in cases of rape or murder, the law relating to bail in cases of corruption too needs to be changed. The present law relating to bail for these offences seem to be very liberal and lax. When a person is sent to Judicial Custody, he is in jail only for a few hours. Soon he is shifted to a hospital under legal rigmarole and manipulation. Well, why not call it 'hospital custody' instead of Judicial custody? Politicians, higher officials and the rich should be discouraged by the law courts from getting this "hospital custody". Consider this: a politician is arrested for some misdemeanour or offence. He is found in the pink of health at the time of his arrest. But suddenly when he is produced before the court, he feigns illness of severe nature like chest - pain, high blood pressure or even unbearable back ache. Next, we see him being taken to a super - specialty hospital ward in the name of judicial custody instead of being treated in the prison. The same has happened in the case of K. P. Puttaswamy too. Indian Express dated 1st December, 2009 reported: "While in Kolar jail, he (K. P. Puttaswamy) reportedly complained of chest pain and was taken to hospital. Puttaswamy was later shifted to Jalappa Hospital at midnight and admitted in the VIP ward." A mockery of law and justice. A show of solidarity by the jail authorities and the doctors! Considering the all - pervasive corruption in the Police Department, I have a lingering suspicion that most of the missing cases, murder cases, robbery cases, rape cases etc. are not detected at all, simply for the reason of corruption. Filing false complaints or threatening to file false complaint is another ploy employed by the Police. As a journalist, a number of people have come to me to get the complaint registered or if registered to get the case investigated. A couple of years back, the body of a small time planter in Kodagu was found hanging on a tree in the premises of the Race Club and despite the complaint, nothing happened. The persons named as suspects by the victims mother (a widow) and relatives were not even taken into custody for interrogation. The victims relatives told me that the culprits had visited the jurisdictional Police Station in the city a couple of times. You can make your own inference. The senior officers in the Police Department must review periodically all the undetected cases and put pressure on the Station House Officers to solve the cases and for this purpose periodically guide them. However, if the top officers themselves are of the Chamarajanagar SP B. Srikantappas kind or the Kolar SP K. P. Puttaswamy's kind, God only should help the complainant. I am not aware if there is a psychological test for the candidates who appear for public service examinations like the IPS, IAS, KAS to find out the propensity of a person for making money by means fair or foul. I may sound harsh and it may even be illegal, but how about brain mapping under narcoanalysis test to find out the mind of the candidate? This day may not be far - off, if corruption continues unabated at this level. Indira Gandhi was indeed right when she acknowledged corruption as a Universal Phenomenon, almost justifying it. No wonder she was also in a way responsible for the present run of corrupt officers in all our government departments and Constitutional institutions. We had always thought at least our Army and Judiciary are well insulated from corruption. Newspapers rarely carried any item relating to corruption in the Army and Judiciary. But today we have Army scams and Judicial corruption almost daily being written in newspapers and shown on TV. Lack of trust in the leadership in all areas of governance is worrying every citizen today. The situation indeed is grim. If a citizen cannot trust a Police Officer, Army General, Chief Justice of the higher court, where shall he go for his security and justice? Are we as a country lost in the limbo of a democratic anarchy? Tailpiece: Lokayukta SP arrests Kolar SP on corruption charges. A wag asks: Is it a case of set a thief to catch a thief?!

Editorial : PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus - No JAIL for Criminal Judges & Criminal Police ?

We salute our freedom fighters , military personnel & martyrs for all the sacrifices made by them. Let us build a strong , Secular , Democratic India by getting rid off few corrupt elements , anti nationals , traitors among public servants , among judiciary & among police who are greater threat to Indias unity & integrity than Pakistani terrorists or chinese military.

Information input forms part of process of ones expression. Ones expression in any forms written , oral , etc becomes information input to the opposite person , in turn he expresses his reply. Information & Expression are inseparable parts & form lifeline of a democracy. That is the reason , Right to Expression is the basic fundamental right as well as human right of every Indian citizen. When a persons right to expression is violated , his other rights to equality , justice , etc also are violated. Suppression of Information amounts to curbing of Expression.

In a democracy , people have a right to know how the public servants are functioning. However till date public servants are hiding behind the veil of Officials Secrets Act (which is of british vintage created by british to suppress native indians). By this cover-up public servants are hiding their own corruption , crimes , mismanagement , failures , etc. even RTI Act is not being followed intoto by public servants. However the recent delhi high court ruling affirming that CJI is under RTI purview & bound to answer RTI request , is noteworthy.

Our previous RTI request to CJI , union home secretary of GOI, President of India , DG & IGP of GOK and others were not honored. The information I sought were answers to the following questions mentioned in the below mentioned websites . the questions concerned the past , present continuing injustices meted out to millions of Indian citizens , due to wrong / illegal work practices of Indian judges , police & public servants . The information we sought would expose the traitors , anti-nationals , criminals in public service. The information we are seeking are no defense secrets , no national secrets. The truthful information exposes the anti-nationals , traitors in the public service & strengthens our national security , national unity & integrity.

Hereby , i do request the honourable supreme court of india , for a Supreme Court monitored CBI Enquiry into this whole issue as karnataka police are helpless , they don't have legal powers to prosecute high & mighty , constitutional functionaries. They have not even enquired the guilty VVIPs even once however Under pressure from higher-ups they repeatedly called me the complainant to police station took statements from me all for closing the files.

Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : writ of Mandamus and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions. JAI HIND. VANDE MATARAM.

Yours sincerely , Nagaraj.M.R.

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA Responsible for Murders of RTI Activists Supreme Courts failure to PROTECT CITIZENS & THEIR RIGHTS Karnataka: Another RTI activist found murdered; whistleblowers demand CBI probe

Bangalore Less than two months since the murder of an RTI activist from Bangalore, the state Saturday witnessed a brutal murder of another whistle-blower. This time Vasudeva Adiga hailing from coastal district of Udupi followed the fate of Lingaraju, who was allegedly murdered by the local corporator for exposing corruption last November. The body of a missing RTI activist Vasudeva Adiga has been found in brutally murdered state on Saturday. Adiga, who hails from Vandaru village in Udupi district, had gone missing since Monday, 7 January. The body has been found at Kadur of neighboring Chickmagalur district, about 225 kms from Udupi, with multiple injuries and its face smashed beyond recognition. At the same time other whistle-blowers from Udupi district have alleged the involvement of local influential politicians, businessmen and top level government servants behind the murder. They have also demanded CBI enquiry into the murder. Adiga had drawn the wrath of some local politicians and high-rank officers of the district for being very instrumental in exposing the corruption at various levels, said Shreeram Diwan, a journalist cum RTI activist. Recently he had obtained some vital documents regarding alleged irregularities in muchdelayed Varahi irrigation project, affairs of Mandarti temple and Nirmiti Kendra through RTI, he said. While Varahi irrigation project has been delayed since three decades, Mandarti temple comes under Muzurai department of Government of Karnataka. The Nirmiti Kendra headed by the Deputy Commissioner of the district serves as a seminal agency to generate and propagate innovative ideas on housing and participates in tender of any government or private organization and executes the same in line with the objectives. It can undertake the government construction projects that cost less than 1 crore rupees. Adiga has been abducted and murdered after he determined to complain Lokayukta over misappropriation of public funds that run in multiple crores. explained Diwan. According to Diwan, Adiga had played crucial role in exposing huge irregularities by the stone quarries at Goliangadi recently. Following the complaints, the mining department had fined those companies upto Rs.4 crore. He even questioned the district authorities over granting permission to those blacklisted stone-quarries, which had not even paid the fine amount imposed by the department, to operate at other places. he added. Sources said that Adiga was approached by those officials, couple of days back to his abduction, for a compromise for which he did not budge. He was also threatened of dire consequences, the sources said. Adiga went missing on the night of 7 January while he was returning to his home in 2wheeler along-with some important documents obtained through RTI. Family members found his deserted mobile, footwear, pen and two-wheeler on following day about 12kms away from his village, but not those documents he was carrying.

3rd DEGREE torture by POLICE World over due to Judicial irresponsibility

Match Fixing Judges of India https://sites.google.com/site/sosevoiceforjustice/match-fixing-judges-police

CJI P Sathasivam led Bench refuses to extend Order; Jai Prakash Associates Limited to pay 25 crores

The Supreme Court yesterday refused to extend order passed by the predecessor bench, which granted interim protection to Jai Prakash Associates Limited from paying 25 Crores. This civil appeal in the Supreme Court arises from a writ petition that was filed by Himprivesh Environment Protection Society before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh against setting up of cement plant and thermal plant by Jai Prakash Associates Limited (JAL). The High Court gave a judgment against JAL on 4th May, 2012 and imposed huge damages on the company. In the judgment, the High Court observed that the entire project of JAL was based on a tissue of lies and at every stage JAL has either given wrong information or has tried to mislead the authority. It was found that JAL was guilty of making false statements for obtaining environmental clearances for all its projects. High Court quashed the environment clearance in respect of thermal plant. The High Court observed that even environment clearance with regard to cement plant is liable to be quashed but keeping in view livelihood of thousands of villagers, the same was allowed. The Court further said, After having discussed the matter in detail above and finding JAL guilty of deceit, we must make sure that neither JAL nor any other Company in the future behaves in such a manner. We have, therefore, decided to impose damages on JAL. Damages worth Rs. 100 crores was imposed on JAL and that was supposed to be paid in four instalment of Rs. 25 crores each; the first to be paid by 31st August 2012; second by 31st March, 2013, third by 31st March 2014 and the last instalment by 31st March 2015. JAL approached the Supreme Court against this order through a special leave petition. A Bench of Justices A K Patnaik and H L Gokhale on 26th November 2012, granted leave to appeal but a stay on the High Court order was refused. On 20th March, 2013 a Bench comprising of then Chief Justice of India, Justice Altamas Kabir gave extension of time for payment of 25 crores (which was supposed to be paid on 31st March, 2013) till 20th April, 2013. On 17th April, 2013 a Bench presided by Justice Kabir allowed the interim order dated 20th March, 2013 to continue operation and the matter was listed for 8th May, 2013. On 8th May, 2013 the Court in its Order mentioned, The stay granted shall continue till then. However there was no stay actually granted by the Court in any of the proceedings till then, though the 8th May order mentioned about a stay. On 10th July, 2013 a Bench presided by Justice Kabir said, Having heard learned counsel for the parties and since it has not been possible for this Bench to take up the matter, let it stand over till 23rd July, 2013, and be placed before the Bench presided over by Honble the Chief Justice. Till then, the payment of the installment shall continue to be deferred. Yesterday, senior counsels Abhishek Manu Singhvi and V K Gupta sought for deferring payment of the installment. Justices P Sathasivam and Ranjan Gogoi after going through the order dated 26th November, 2012 passed by Justices Justices A K Patnaik and H L Gokhale refusing a stay, came down heavily and refused to defer payment.

Porbandar judge accused of dowry harassment Press Trust of India : Rajkot, Mon Jan 24 2011, 05:28 hrs

A complaint has been filed against District and Sessions judge of Porbandar for allegedly harassing his daughter-in-law for dowry, police said here on Sunday. Darshana Dave, a native of Amreli, has filed a complaint against her husband Kinnar, father-inlaw and district judge Arvind Dave, mother-in-law Pratibha and brother-in-law Prashant, the police added. Darshana married Kinnar two years ago. Her complaint says that she was harassed from the beginning, and was even beaten up by the husband and in-laws, who were demanding Rs 10 lakh as dowry. She has also alleged that she was thrown out of the house a few months back, and her husband is now seeking divorce, the police said. Amreli Superintendent of Police H R Muliyana confirmed to have received the complaint against the judge and others. He said that action will be taken after verifying the complaint. This is the second complaint related to dowry harassment filed against a judge in the state in the recent past. Earlier, a woman had filed a complaint against additional sessions judge of Jetpur after her daughter and the judge's wife committed suicide.

Gurgaon judge to also face dowry harassment charge

Gurgaon's Chief Judicial Magistrate Ravneet Garg, booked for the murder of his wife, will also face dowry harassment charge, police here said Monday. Police have issued notices to the CJM's father K.K. Garg and mother Rachna Garg, who have also been named in the dowry harassment case. The CJM's father reached here Monday morning from Haryana's Panchkula town and contacted police, who wanted to question him. "We had called CJM's parents...K.K. Garg was questioned by special investigation team (SIT)," Gurgaon Police Commissioner Alok Mittal said. Mittal said on the basis of written complaint filed by the parents of the CJM's wife Geetanjali, penal sections of dowry harassment and extra-marital affair were included in the FIR lodged against the CJM Saturday. Geetanjali, 24, bore three bullet wounds - on her chin, chest and stomach - but no bullets were found in her body that was recovered here Thursday. The CJM's licensed firearm was found near the body, police said. Mittal said two bullets were seized from the scene of crime and would be sent for ballistic examination Monday, a day after ballistic experts examined the crime spot. "The SIT Sunday questioned two women relatives of Ravneet Garg for hours at his government allotted house here in the Officers Colony," said Mittal. "We have asked CJM to produce supporting evidences to prove his statement," he said. The CJM allegedly said that his driver and domestic help may throw some light on his wife's death. Judge Garg's in-laws alleged that two cars were provided to the accused on his and his family's demand. Rs.2 lakh were also delivered to him at the time of the admission of his daughters in school in May. Geetanjali's brother Pradeep Aggarwal Saturday lodged a first information report against Garg and his parents, accusing them of murder. "Ravneet and Geetanjali got married in November 2007. Everything was fine for a few years but the attitude of Ravneet and his parents towards Geetanjali started changing after she delivered two baby girls (now aged around four and a half and three years)," Aggarwal said in his complaint. He demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into his sister's murder.

Rs 100 crore offered for Gali Janardhan Reddys bail: Arrested judge

More skeletons are tumbling out in the murky cash-for-bail scam involving mining baron and former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy as a lower court judge, arrested in the case, disclosed to the ACB that Gali's men were ready to offer as much as a staggering Rs 100 crore to secure bail for him. Earlier, the deal amount was put at Rs 15 crore. T Lakshminarasimha Rao, the arrested judge, disclosed that Dasaradharami Reddy, a relative of Gali, had made the Rs 100 crore offer, according to the confession statement recorded by the ACB. Krishna Prasad, an auditor, who is known to him and another relative M Venkateswara Rao approached Lakshminarasimha Rao in the second week of April with a request to look for a `channel' to influence the CBI judge for Gali's release on bail. "They were in touch with Dasaradharami Reddy who was willing to pay even Rs 100 crore for securing the bail," the confession statement of Rao said. Though the deal initially came as a shock to the arrested judge, who at the time was registrar (enquiries), high court, he was later attracted towards the deal, it said.

Lakshminarasimha Rao called the CBI court judge B Nagamaruti Sarma to his residence on April 18 and tried to convince him on granting of bail to Gali. Sarma did not agree for the deal and went away rejecting the offer. He had, in fact, dismissed the bail plea. Then another person Raavi Surya Prakash Babu, a real estate dealer, who was taken to Bellary MLA Sriramulu by his associate Kolli Lakshmaiah Chowdary for striking the deal, approached Rao again. Surya Prakash had already met Sriramulu's nephew and Kampli MLA T H Suresh Babu who, too, was trying to secure bail for Gali and advised him to wait as Nagamaruti Sarma was not of 'their type'. But he requested Lakshminarasimha Rao to keep the `channel' open as the deal was "too lucrative to be ignored". Later, in a strange sequence of events, Nagamaruti Sarma was shifted out of CBI court and a fresh bail plea was filed which came before another special judge T Pattabhirama Rao. Lakshminarasimha Rao roped in Pattabhi's batchmate D Prabhakar Rao, another district judge, who was with the state election commission as its secretary (legal). He also tried to push the deal but failed as Pattabhi told him that he would decide the matter on only `merit'. It turned out later that Pattabhi chose a 'route' planned by his friend Chalapati though the deal was only for Rs 5 crore. This was mainly because his friend did not put any precondition that he should meet Gali Somasekhara Reddy, brother of Gali Janardhana Reddy, before giving bail as was done by Prabhakar Rao, who was also arrested in the case. Prabhakar in his confession spoke of only Rs 15 core implying that he too was unaware of the whopping Rs 100-crore deal. While the ACB arrested Lakshminarasimha Rao on July 12, Pattabhi was arrested last month. Interestingly, the ACB sleuths seized some cheques bearing the names of Lakshminarasimha Rao's family members with some complaint letters written by advocates against some AP high court judges. The letters were addressed to the President of India. Corrupt judges must face the music

Corruption exists in the Indian judiciary. A few judges are inappropriately influenced in their decision making. Saying this is A P Shah, former chief justice of the high courts of Madras and Delhi. Shah lived up to his reputation for calling a spade a spade on Saturday, when he delivered a speech on judicial appointments and accountability at a function organized by the Nani Palkhivala Foundation and the Govindh Swaminadhan Trust at the Music Academy .

Corruption has spread its tentacles and does not seem to be limited to conventional forms of bribery, he said. Stating that judges guilty of misconduct should face prosecution, he said judicial independence should not protect a judge from investigation and censure for a valid charge. The country remembers Justice Shah for his orders in the Delhi high court decriminalizing unnatural sexual offences under Section 377 of IPC and ruling that the office of the Chief Justice of India too was amenable to the RTI Act. But, Chennai remembers the no-nonsense jurist for being instrumental in the removal of giant hoardings in the city. Sitting with Justice K Chandru, he quashed the political exemption granted to unauthorised buildings in the city, and it was because of his orders that many public buildings today offer a barrier-free environment to disabled people. On Thursday, Justice Shah spoke on judicial accountability, servility, corruption, judicial independence and the need to usher in a transparent process to select judges. Lamenting the democratic deficit in the way judges are chosen on the basis of undisclosed criteria and circumstances, Justice Shah said: The present system of judicial appointments in the constitutional courts exemplifies the misalignment between the core values of judicial independence and accountability. He discussed the US and the UK model of appointing judges, but said a hybrid model where a judicial appointment commission short-listing the names, which could be rejected only on specific reasons, was most suitable for India. Slamming the Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill 2010, he said involving MPs in the procedure would undermine the judicial independence. If implemented in the present form, the Bill would mark the beginning of the end of the judiciary, he said.

Who Will Judge the JUDGES ?

Mr.Arvind Kejriwal & Mr.Winston Churchill are Almost RIGHT Criminals have entered Indian Parliament - Legislate LOKPAL Bill

With whole hearted respects to the parliament & all constitutional bodies , hereby we are appealing to the honest few in public service , honest few in parliament , honest few in judiciary & honest few in police , to legally prosecute their corrupt colleagues , to legislate LOKPAL BILL with full powers to enforce accountability of all public servants , MPs , MLAs , Police , etc to the citizens of india. Contempt of Parliament & other constitutional bodies is being made by some of the Corrupt MPs themselves. Therby these MPs are making contempt of Indian Parliament , 105 crore Indian citizens , Constitution of India and Obstructing the Indian Citizens from performing their FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES to uphold constituion of india , its dignity. These Corrupt Public Servants are doing more damges to Indias National Unity & Integrity than naxals & terrorists . These Corrupt Public Servants are more deadlier & greater threat to india than Pakistan & China. The honest few in parliament & other constitutional bodies are either keeping mum or not taking appropriate steps to intiate criminal legal prosecution against their corrupt colleagues , this is aiding those criminals to do more crimes , to go unpunished , to manipulate legal system , to manipulate evidences / records , to get acquitted by courts for lack of evidences , to influence police to withdraw cases against them or to file B reports , etc. In these ways the corrupt public servants will never be convicted , they will be either stay as accussed or acquitted for lack of evidences or government withdraws cases against them or police file B report.

Citizens of india are supreme in democratic republic of india. parliament , MPs , MLAs are creations of citizens and are subservient , subordinate to the citizens of india. Creations cannt be supreme than the creator.

Vohra committee has officially acknowledged the criminalization of politics , parliament , legislatures. The politicians crave for power because , while in power investigating / prosecuting agencies will be under their control / influence and they can manipulate the legal process , WHITE WASHING all their crimes. Just see , recently union home minister Mr.Chidambaram influencing the delhi police for closing a cheating case against a builder by forcing the police to file B report. Recent example read vijaya karnataka kannada daily dated 14.04.2012 lokayukta police favoring ex-CM Yediyurappa & Minister Somanna tried to close a case before lokayukta court by filing B Report although enough evidences are there to prosecute Ex CM & Minister . Politicians stoop low to such levels , to make money Ex : irregularities in purchase of coffins meant for kargil martyrs , allotment of flats meant for war widows , war veterans at Mumbai. If proper accountability of public servants is legally enacted, independence , autonomy of judiciary & police is legally enacted , then those in power cannt WHITE WASH their own crimes. That is the reason many political parties are opposing LOKPAL BILL since decades under many pretexts. Subject to conditions , I do offer my services to the government of india & supreme court of india , to legally apprehend CRIMINALS , CORRUPT PUBLIC SERVANTS , ARE YOU READY to utilize our services ?

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS Vs PRIVILEGES OF CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES IN INDIA

Let the Legislators of states, members of parliament, High courts & Supreme Court Judges & other constitutional functionaries answer the following questions which are vital in a democracy. 1) What are the fundamental rights of a citizen guaranteed under the constitution (Article 21) ? 2) What are the privileges conferred on legislators & parliamentarians by the constitution of India? a) Inside the House b) Outside the House 3) What are privileges conferred on constitutional functionaries, like a) President of India b) Prime Minister of India c) Chief Justice of India d) Chairman of NHRC e) Central Vigilance Commissioners. 4) Are the privileges legal immunity conferred on above mentioned constitutional functionaries ? a) Cover all their official actions irrespective of merit. b) Cover both their official & personal actions. 5) Are the privileges defined & codified ?

In some cases, the Public or the person representing them is unable to afford the high cost of the case. Why not free legal aid is given ?. 22) What is the criteria for admitting a P.I.L. & giving free legal aid ? 23) Communication free flow of information is the lifeline of a democracy. Why the constitutional functionaries are not honouring the Right to Information of Citizens ?

Stage set for arrest of suspended Andhra CBI judge

The stage was Saturday set for the arrest of suspended Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge in a cash-for-bail scam which has sent shock waves among the judiciary across the state.

After receiving a nod from Andhra Pradesh High Court to register a case, the CBI may arrest any time First Additional CBI Judge T. Pattabhirama Rao on charges of taking bribe to grant bail to former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhana Reddy in an illegal mining case, sources here said. CBI sources said the investigative agency would register a first information report before carrying out the arrests. An Andhra Pradesh cabinet minister, two Karnataka legislators, a retired judge, a rowdy sheeter and the suspended judges son are also believed to have played a role in striking the deal. The exact deal amount remained a mystery but it is believed to be anywhere between Rs.5 crore and Rs.15 crore. The judge allegedly demanded Rs.15 crore but the deal was finally struck for Rs.10 crore. He allegedly received Rs.3 crore as advance before granting bail to Reddy May 11 in the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) case. The CBI Friday recovered part of the amount from bank lockers belonging to the judges son. The CBI, which grew suspicious of the judges action, started investigations after a go-ahead from high court Chief Justice Madan B. Lokur. The investigators tapped the judges phone and questioned him, his son and others. The chief justice was informed of the preliminary investigations and, based on this, he suspended the judge late Thursday. Janardhana Reddys family allegedly approached the judge through Yadagiri, a rowdy sheeter of Nacharam area in Hyderabad, who then got in touch with a retired judge. A state minister is also suspected to have helped in the deal. Janardhana Reddys brother and Karnataka legislator G. Somasekhara Reddy allegedly met the middlemen in a hotel in Hyderabad to finally strike the deal. The accuseds brother allegedly handed over the money, brought from Bellary town in Karnataka. Despite Pattabhirama granting the bail, the mining baron remained in Bangalore jail, where he is lodged in another illegal mining case. On a petition by the CBI, the high court later stayed the bail. The mining baron was arrested by the CBI from Bellary Sep 5 last year in a case of illegal mining in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.

Judge suspension: CBI claims Rs.1.80 crore recovererd from locker

The CBI claims to have recovered nearly Rs. 1.80 crore here from a bank locker, the keys of which were allegedly in possession of the son of Special CBI court judge T. Pattabhiramaa Rao, who has been suspended on charges of bribery and corruption by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The agency had carried the search based on a source based input that a deal was allegedly struck between Rao and former Karnataka Minister G. Janardhana Reddy for granting bail to the latter in the illegal mining case, CBI sources said today. Before proceeding with the search, the CBI officials took Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court in confidence and apprised him about the input received by them, they said. After getting a green signal from the Chief Justice, a CBI team got the locker opened and recovered nearly Rs. 1.80 crore from it which the agency suspects belonged to Reddy and was allegedly given as illegal gratification, they said.

The sources claimed that the officials found the keys of the lockers to be in possession of Judges son. The matter was again put before the Chief Justice who ordered suspension of Rao, they said. Senior officials of the agency said there are three options the case is probed by local police, CBI files a new FIR or adding the charges in the ongoing trial against Reddy. They however added that any further action could take place only after getting permission from the High Court. First Additional Special Judge for CBI cases Pattabhirama Rao has been placed under suspension after the High Court considered the information it received against the judge in public interest, the High Court Registrar said in a release. Incidentally, the judge had granted bail to former Karnataka Minister Gali Janardhan Reddy in the OMC illegal mining case last month while he had rejected bail to IAS officer Y. Srilakshmi, another accused in the OMC scam.

The need for a Judges Accountability Bill By Vicky Nanjappa

Off late there is a lot of talk regarding the necessity to have a Judges Accountability Bill. Even when the Lokpal Bill was being debated the inclusion of judges into this bill was strongly opposed by the government despite members of the civil society urging the government to make such an inclusion. Off late there have been reports galore regarding judges being offered sites or houses under the discretionary quota of the Chief Minister. Recently there was an expose at the Orissa High Court. Prior to this there were reports from Karnataka and also another report which spoke about how the Narendra Modi government had offered prime lands to judges of the High Court. The big question is whether judges deserve such treatment from the state government considering the fact that the government is the biggest litigant before any court in the country? Is this an illegality or is it corruption? Justice Santhosh Hegde, former judge of the Supreme Court of India says it is illegal to accept sites under the discretionary quota. Judges ought to know that while accepting such sites they are succumbing to temptation. They have to examine any such offer and find out properly whether it is in accordance with law or not. It is very dangerous to accept such favours since in the days to come it would hold against themselves. Speaking of a judges accountability bill, well there is one but it has not come out as yet. This has been loitering around for some years now and it is time that something is done about it. In fact while we were discussing the Lokpal bill this was one of the primary contentions during the debate. Either the government had to include it into the Lokpal Bill or make functional the judges accountability bill. However there was a lot of misunderstanding regarding this. All I said was it was not right to leave out the judges when we are fighting corruption. They should include this portion into the Lokpal bill. However once the Judges Accountability Bill is made functional then it could be deleted out of the Lokpal bill. There was no need to keep this in abeyance until that happened. When this issue is being argued and fought for the past 44 years then it is impertive for the government to include it. Senior Advocate in the Karnataka High Court, Navkesh Batra is of the view that taking sites under the discretionary quota is nothing but corruption. First and foremost Judges are not entitled for a site under this quota. This quota is meant for poor people, outstanding people including judges. It cannot be given as a bul allotment as it amounts to nothing but a sop. When the government is the biggest litigant before any court in India then such a sop does not instill confidence in the public and it would be better if both the government and the judiciary abstains from such an act. Here I would like to quote the incident involving the great Justice R A Jagirdhar of the Bombay High Court. In fact he was the only judge who refused to apply for a site despite a request by the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He even went one step further and at a public function when the CM sought to shake his hand he publicly rebuked him by saying, Mr CM your cases are pending before the high court. As a high court judge I refuse to shake your hand. http://vickynanjapa.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/the-need-for-a-judges-accountability-bill/

LAND SCAM IN TAMILNADU One for my officer, one for my boy

Land and property are coveted assets. So why are chief ministers allowed to give these away as favours? JEEMON JACOB tracks how Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has been using his quotas IN NOVEMBER, Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa almost lost his job, due to the uproar over ILLUSTRATION: ANAND NAOREM preferential allotment of land and property to his sons and close associates. He has since cancelled the allotments, asked his children to move out of his official residence, and retained his seat through some deft political manoeuvring and muscle-flexing. At the height of the campaign against him, as political opponents paraded on apparent moral high ground, TEHELKA published details of plots similarly allotted by previous Karnataka chief ministers, both of the Congress and the JD(S), to relatives, servants, drivers, maids and partymen (LAND SCAM 2.0, 4 December). The purpose was not to make Yeddyurappas wrongdoings look less shocking, but to show that the problem was endemic and needed rooting out. The right given to chief ministers to hand out public land to a favoured few relatives, bureaucrats, judges, police officers and others smacks of nepotism and arbitrary feudal power structures that should have no place in a modern democracy. (Though there is no immediate proof of this, some of these allotments could also be benamitransactions, in which the ultimate ownership remains with the distributor of the largesse, camouflaged by a stack of fake documents.) This power euphemistically called discretionary quota has even been used to favour allegedly corrupt army officers like General Deepak Kapoor (AT EASE WITH GREASE, TEHELKA, 20 November), who was given a large 500 sq yd plot in Haryana by the Hooda government, which then faced the embarrassment of refusing him permission to sell it off before five years had elapsed, as per rules. The plot was given to him by the government as preferential allotment in recognition for his outstanding achievement. This week, continuing its campaign against out-of-turn allotments of land and property, TEHELKA has an expos on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) which commands a large land bank, has a government discretionary quota (GDQ) under which 15 percent of all allotments can be recommended by the CM. Eligibility for allotment under GDQ is as follows: single/deserted women; widows; social workers; physically handicapped persons; defence personnel; ex-servicemen; eminent persons in the field of science, arts, literature, economics, public administration and sports; freedom fighters; government servants with unblemished service records; employees of PSUs, central government undertakings and nationalised banks; PF institutions; journalists; university staff; and employees of local bodies and municipalities. While some of these categories sound kosher, most of them raise a fundamental question: why should the government have the power to give coveted land to select employees and journalists over others? The only rationale could be proximity which is an untenable reason for being the beneficiary of political favours, often worth several crores. Setting this aside, even within the legal ambit of the GDQ, TEHELKAs investigation shows that many of the allotments in Karunanidhis tenure have violated the rule book. Many bureaucrats and their relatives have been given plots or flats under the category of social worker. Some of these last did social work when they were in college; many of them claim to be volunteers in such routine activity as helping in blood donation or eye camps. Many have issued certificates to themselves; some have acquired letters from the Lions and Rotary Clubs with vague endorsements. In other violations, the rules say that no one who has any other land or property in Tamil Nadu or any other capital city, in either their own or spouse or minor childrens name, can apply for GDQ allotments. TEHELKA found this is routinely violated. Many of the allottees issued certificates to themselves, while some got letters from Lions and Rotary Clubs The other brazen violation lies in the claim of unblemished service records as a qualification for allotment. When RTI activist V Gopalakrishnan sought a list of such bureaucrats, Additional Secretary S Solomon Raj said, As no unblemished government servant certificates are issued, the question of furnishing a list of names does not arise. The additional secretary also clarified that the home department didnt have such a list. This is the phantom category under which many public servants like Jaffar Sait, 1986 batch IPS officer, now Inspector General of Police Intelligence, got large allotments of land in prime locations. Why them more than hundreds of others? Thats a democratic question the chief minister will have to answer. jee@gmail.com Legal Largesse R Bhanumathi Serving Judge, Madras High Court FLAT NOS: MIG 249-250, SHOLINGANALLUR PHASE III, CHENNAI DATE: 30 MARCH 2008 SIZE: 120 SQ M & 139 SQ M PRICE: Rs. 27.55 LAKH & Rs. 30.05 LAKH CURRENT MARKET PRICE: NA VIOLATIONS The judge was allotted two adjoining plots on the same day (30 March 2008).

The plot of land is located in Saidapet and was purchased in 1993. She however admits in her declaration that she owns two plots, which she purchased from the TN Housing Board in 2008. But this allocation was made under the General Category. Since judges do not come under any of the quota categories, the governments way of allotting land to them differs from the rest. Judges are informed about the availability of land. And when they apply for the same, the government facilitates the allotment.

The judge had also sold a property he owned at Pazhavatthankattali village near Kumbakonam. The land was purchased in 1991, a house was constructed on it in 1992 and sold in 2009.

On 6 June 2008, the government transferred the ownership of the plot to his daughter Jennifer Jaffar, then a student. Jennifer made two payments of Rs. 46.03 lakh and Rs.1.73 lakh towards cost of the plot. In February 2009, she paid another Rs.60 lakh. After having paid Rs.1.07 crore, the ownership of plot was transferred to her mother Parvin Jaffar. Interestingly, Parvin also made the payment all over again. In October 2009, she paid Rs. 50.64 lakh and then again in November 2009, another Rs. 25 lakh was deposited. A further payment of Rs. 51.5 lakh in the same month was made. Income tax officials feel the Sait family made the double payment to avoid an IT investigation on Jennifer, who would not have been able to show any source of income. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board then returned the original amount paid by Jennifer. Now, Parvin in collaboration with Durga Sankar, son of an IAS officer, has commissioned a builder to construct a multi-storey complex in which 12 flats have already been built. Each flat is expected to fetch an estimated 1 crore. So, by paying Rs. 1.26 crore in 2009, the IGPs family made a profit of more than Rs. 5.7 crore.

GDQ is a way of making you part of the syndicate BY JEEMON JACOB A1990 batch IAS officer, C Umashanker shot to fame during the AIADMK regime when he exposed a scam in the construction of sheds in a cremation ground under the Jawahar Rozgar Yojana when he was additional collector in Madurai. His brush with AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaas partymen resulted in his transfer out of the district.

C Umashanker PHOTO: JEEMON JACOB

Later, when the DMK came to power, he was appointed managing director of the state-run Electronic Corporation of Tamil Nadu and put in charge of procuring colour television sets for free distribution to the poor in the state, in keeping with an election promise of the DMK. He was transferred with immediate effect after he exposed corporate fraud committed by the joint venture promoter ELNET Technologies Ltd. Later, he was posted as managing director of the state-run Arasu Cable TV Corporation. In this capacity, he opposed the monopoly of Sumangali Corporation run by Kalanidhi Maran. He also took steps to nationalise Sumangali Cable Vision. By that time, Maran had a patch-up with the Karunanidhi family and Umashanker was transferred with immediate effect. Later, the anti-corruption and vigilance department registered a case against him for disproportionate assets. The government suspended him for claiming fake caste certificate as a Dalit when he is a practising Christian. He lodged a complaint with the National Backward Commission against his suspension and got a favourable order from the High Court. At present, he is managing director of Tamil Nadu Small Industries Corporation. Plots are allotted even without any formal applications. There is no transparency at all

Umashanker was allotted a plot (under government order 2D 325) on 3 April 2008 at Thiruvanmiyur Extension when he was in charge of the free colour television for the poor programme. For this, he would have had to pay 55.12 lakh. He wrote to the chief minister that he could not afford to pay such a huge amount. Later, his allotment was cancelled without stating any reason. Umashanker revealed he had an MIG flat in his name when the plot was allotted and he was not aware about the rule of Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) that he cant claim a plot when he has another flat in his name. It certainly seems commendable that Umashanker turned down a chance to own a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension, one of the poshest areas of the city. The plot is just 300 metres from the beach. Though the entire colony has been parcelled out to those close to the ruling establishment, it is the nouveau riche and the industrialists who dream of owning a house in Thiruvanmiyur, where they can rub shoulders with former judges, bureaucrats and political power brokers. If and when the allottees decide to sell their plots, they can demand extremely high prices. In a frank chat, Umashanker talks about how the government discretionary quota has been misused. Excerpts: Why are bureaucrats, judges, former judges and politicians given housing plots in posh localities under government discretionary quota? Who can refuse a good piece of land in Chennai city? Its a way of rewarding people for good work done. No inquiry has been conducted in this matter so far. Discretionary quota is the prerogative of the government. After RTI came into existence, several activists are taking up the matter in court. Basically, there is no control mechanism or checks and balances. There is little transparency while awarding the GDQ the plots are allotted without formal applications. You were also allotted a plot in 2008 under the unblemished government servant category. What happened to the allotment? Yes, I was allotted a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension. Initial payment for the plot was Rs. 25 lakh. I never had that much money. So I requested the government to reduce the price. But there was no response. I did not want a house to compromise my integrity. So I never took possession. Later, in 2009, the government ordered a vigilance inquiry against me and cancelled the allotment. Frankly, I was not aware about the TNHB rules that bars a person having a plot, a flat or a house from claiming another plot. Do you think the GDQ quota is a way of silencing people, buying them out? Yes, it is a way of making you a part of the syndicate. Plots or flats are given to those civil servants, judges or relatives of the bureaucrats or politicians for complying with certain requirements. There is no procedure for IAS or IPS officers to get a land or plot or flat in a transparent manner. So everybody uses short cuts.

Ministers DQ proves judges are more corrupt than civil servant

NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR: An investigation by Cobra post and IBN Network has revealed how former and sitting judges of Orissa, police officers and bureaucrats have received flats from the DiscretionaryQuota (DQ) of ministers. As a matter of fact, successive Urban Development Ministers in the Naveen Patnaik government have misused the discretionary housing quota. According to the revelation, the judges have got the minister quota flats out of turn and at cheaper rates. The IBN Network accessed letters of judges written to the government asking for prime property in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Prime properties were acquired in Cuttack at concession rates, bypassing the Cuttack Development Authority. In fact, Sectors 10, 11 and 13 of Cuttacks Abhinav Bidanasi project has practically become a judges residential colony. Former Chief Justice G B. Patnaik is a resident of flat 1B/22 in Sector 11 while former Orissa High CourtJudge Radhakrishna Patra has flat 1B/23 in the same sector, given out on lease. Supreme Court judge Deba Priya Mohapatra, Orissa High Court judges Sanju Panda, Madan Mohan Das, Nityanand Prastuti also own flats in Sector 10 and 11.Papers for the flats were prepared quickly and some judges even got preferred plots. Most of the allotments took place between 2000 and 2007, under the BJP cadre Urban and Housing Development Minister Sameer De who was State Development Minister from 20002004 and then Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo who called the shots from 2004 to 2007. All that the judges had to do was written to the Minister. The CNN-IBN has a letter written by Justice Madan Mohan Das to the CDA Chairman and to Minister Kanak Vardhan Singhdeo, asking for a B-Category Flat in Sector 10, saying he would ensure a third party transfer of a CCategory Flat already owned by his wife.Justice Das was allotted the flat in just six days.

When asked why the discretionary quota was used to make the allotments, Sameer Dey, former Orissa urban development minister, said, The Orissa act does not have any such rule. There is 5

per cent and 10 per cent allocation in discretionary quota. Apart from that we dont have any rule. Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, former Orissa urban development minister, said, The rule is that only those who apply for the project can be allotted land via Discretionary Quota. So if any such person does not apply what can we do? CNN-IBN has also found that many of the judges who were allotted land through the discretionary quota already own ancestral property in Cuttack. Yet the ministers were allotted the land they asked for.

JUDICIAL CORRUPTION MY LORDS, THERES A CASE AGAINST YOU

Former Union law ministers are spearheading a campaign against sitting judges they accuse of being corrupt. What is the higher judiciary doing to clear itself of these grave charges? Avinash DuttNew Delhi The campaign by some senior lawyers and former law ministers who have Under questioned the integrity of sitting high court judges is set to ratchet up the observation: The growing confrontation between the legislative and the judicial arms of the government. Former Union law ministers Shanti Bhushan and Ram Jethmalani Supreme Court of India are leading the battle against what they claim are corrupt practices in the Photo by K. highest echelons of the judiciary. Satheesh Bhushan has categorically condemned the rot he feels has set in the judicial system. The judiciary of this country is not merely unaccountable, but corrupt Senior lawyers and brazenly so, he wrote in a letter to President APJ Abdul Kalam on have December 17. Bhushan has demanded that the President initiate impeachment complained to proceedings against Justice Jagdish Bhalla of the Lucknow Bench of the the CJI and the Allahbad High Court. On December 14, a Supreme Court (SC) collegium President that recommended that Justice Bhalla be appointed the Chief Justice of the Kerela Justice Bhalla HC. illegally amassed Bhushan and Jethmalani, along with noted lawyers and former justices, properties including Rajendra Sachar, Indira Jaisingh and Hardev Singh, have formed the Committee on Judicial Accountability (COJA) and presented documents to the Chief Justice of India (CJI), YK Sabharwal, to support their complaint against the sitting judges. COJA complained to the CJI on July 11 that Justice Jagdish Bhalla had amassed several illegal properties in the name of his wife and other close relatives. Justice Vijender Jain, the former senior Judge in the Delhi High Court, who was recently appointed the CJ of Punjab and Haryana HC, is also in COJAs line of fire. By questioning the integrity of Justices Bhalla and Jain, Bhushan has thrown open the much larger question of judicial accountability. (See interview) Leave aside taking any action against corrupt judges like Justice Jagdish Bhalla and Justice Vijender Jain, the CJI has been actually avoiding even properly investigating charges against them, says Bhushan. According to documents produced by COJA on 21 July 2003, Renu Bhalla bought a 7,200 sq. metre plot near the Noida-Greater Noida expressway. On 28 March 2005, Uday Shankar, dsp, Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noidas official name) submitted a report to the area dm in which he states that the sellers of the plot belong to the land mafia. In an enquiry submitted to the dm on 26 June 2005, RK Singh, the area sdm, also described the sellers as belonging to the land mafia. According to the two reports, the plots constituted a portion of the gram samaj (joint village property) land, illegally grabbed by the land mafia. (All the documents relating to the transaction are in possession of Tehelka) The SDMs report says that at the time of the transaction, the plot was worth Rs 7.20 crore in the open market, whereas Renu Bhalla paid Rs 5 lakh for it. The two reports also state that the sellers of the plot have been charged in several criminal cases, and had sold plots to several influential people to curry favour with them. Renu Bhalla is the wife of Justice Jagdish Bhalla. Bhushan has also drawn attention to the July 2005 draw of lots for allotment of plots in Sector 44 in Greater Noida. When the computerised draw threw up several influential names, a few people approached the Allahabad HC alleging foulplay. In October 2005, the HC decided that the case warranted a fresh draw of lots and ordered a cbi inquiry into the scam. Among those who had been allotted plots in the scrapped list were Aarohi Bhalla and Sheeba Sabharwal. Aarohi Bhalla, who is the son of Justice Bhalla, was allotted plot number f-52, while Sheeba Sabharwal, daughter-in-law of the CJI YK Sabharwal was allotted plot number f-78. In November 2005, the Supreme Court stayed the Allahabad HC judgement, putting the cbi enquiry and the HCs order to hold a fresh draw of lots on hold.

Admissible in court? Documents furnished by COJA against the justices Members of COJA have offered to discuss the matter in person with the CJI but they say that they are still waiting to hear from him. Five months after their initial request, they sent another application to the CJI in November. This time they sought his permission to register an FIR against Justice Bhalla, claiming that their initial evidence was enough to register an offence against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The CJI did not even call us to hear our point, says Bhushan. I dont know why Justice Sabharwal is shielding Justice Bhalla! Bhushan is equally critical of Justice Vijender Jain. Justice Jain, who took oath as the new CJ of Punjab and Haryana HC in November, had to endure many delays before he could be appointed to the post. The CJI had to make three efforts to promote Justice Jain. A collegium headed by the Chief Justice of India first recommended Justice Jains name for the post in July. However, President APJ Abdul Kalam returned the file, causing a minor embarrassment to the CJI and the Union government. When the collegium reiterated its recommendation through the government in November, the President had to sign the file. Earlier in May, a proposal by the CJI to make Justice Jain CJ of the Maharsahtra HC was stonewalled by a judge in the three-member collegium who questioned Third time Justice Jains integrity. The member on the panel cited a complaint made to lucky: Chief former CJI RC Lahoti against Justice Jain in January 2005. The CJI revived the Justice proposal a month later, but again a judge on the collegium opposed his Vijender Jain appointment. Finally, a fortnight later, in July 2006, the CJI made his third attempt to promote Jain, this time to the Punjab and Haryana HC. When a This time around, to address dissenting voices, the CJI also consulted other SC collegium judges who happened to be former chief justices of the Delhi High Court. headed by the According to reliable sources, Justice Jains former seniors also questioned his CJI integrity. However, on the basis of a majority, the proposal to promote him was recommended forwarded to the Union government for the Presidents assent. Justice Jains name, the A major hurdle in promoting Justice Jain continued on page 8 continued from President page 6 was a complaint by one Subhash Agrawal who approached then CJI RC returned the Lahoti in January 2005 with the complaint that Justice Jain had violated the code file of conduct for judges. Agrawal claimed that Justice Jain gave a judgement in favour of someone with whom he had family relations. He produced a copy of the invitation card of the litigants granddaughters wedding, held in April 2001. According to the card, the venue of the wedding was the official residence of Justice Jain. (Tehelka has obtained a copy of the wedding card from the Central Information Commission). In November 2004, Justice Jain, hearing an appeal, decided a civil suit in favour of the person who had held his granddaughters wedding at his official residence. When there was no response to his complaint in October 2005, Agrawal approached the SC to find out the status of his complaint under the rti Act. He was told that his complaint was in the relevant HC file. Not satisfied, Agrawal approached the Central Information Commission. On the commissions insistence, the SC finally told Agrawal that his complaint had not actually been forwarded to the HC, as the SC has no administrative jurisdiction over high court judges. Therefore, the complaint was pending before the CJI, YK Sabharwal. The commission asked the CJI to act on the application. The CJI finally settled the complaint, saying he found no merit in it. When Agrawal asked for reasons behind the decision, he drew a blank. Its not just Bhushan who feels the need to bring about accountability and transparency in the judiciary. Janata Dal (U) president Sharad Yadav says the issue will be discussed when the Judicial Accountability Bill is tabled in Parliament. When the government tables the bill, all its aspects will be discussed, Yadav told Tehelka. CJI YK Sabharwal could not be reached for his comments. Despite conciliatory notes from him there are all indications that the clamour surrounding judicial misdemeanour and the demand for greater accountability will only increase in the days to come.

Half Of The Last 16 Chief Justices Were Corrupt The decision to declare assets is a big victory. Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan tells SHOMA CHAUDHURY what else is rotting in our judiciary Its great judges have agreed to declare assets. But will it really help? Politicians do it too. This decision is very welcome, even if its only happened under public pressure. It is proof of the power of public opinion. And even though declaring assets is a relatively minor aspect of judicial accountability, it will help. If a judge misdeclares his assets, theres a chance someone might know he has particular properties he hasnt declared, and may point it out. One could then examine if these can be explained within their legal income. In public interest Prashant Bhushan has championed the fight for judicial accountability Photo: SHAILENDRA PANDEY

The debate around judicial accountability has got really hot. Are there watershed events that triggered this? Not in my own perception, but I think for the public there were two watershed events the Chief Justice Sabharwal case (where there was an allegation that Chief Justice YS Sabharwals orders to demolish commercial outlets in Delhi directly benefited his sons, who were partners with some mall developers) and the Ghaziabad Provident Fund scam. Both these cases got wide media attention. A 2006 Transparency International report said the judiciary in India is the second most corrupt institution after the police. Youve been at the forefront of the judicial accountability campaign. Why?I have been witness to judicial corruption in the courts for a very long time. I know decisions are passed for extraneous considerations, but its difficult to get hard evidence of this. There have been highprofile impeachment attempts, for instance, on Justice Ramaswamy, Justice Punchi and Justice Anand. Yet, they all went on to become chief justices. In my view, out of the last 16 to 17 chief justices, half have been corrupt. I cant prove this, though we had evidence against Punchi, Anand and Sabharwal on the basis of which we sought their impeachment. What is the root cause of judicial corruption then, and what are your key demands? Our key demand is an institutional mechanism for entertaining complaints and taking action against the judiciary. Nothing exists today. Everyone realises impeachment is impractical. To move an impeachment motion you need the signatures of 100 MPS, but you cant get them because many MPs have pending individual or party cases in these judges courts. In the impeachment proceeding against Justice Bhalla, the BJP declined to sign because LK Advani had been acquitted by him in the Babri Masjid demolition case. Such political considerations prevail all the time. An in-house procedure was set up in 1999, post a chief justices conference in 1997, but that too is activated only selectively. For example, the complaint against Justice Bhalla was that he had purchased land worth Rs 4 crore at Rs 4 lakh approximately from land mafia in Noida. This was based on a report from the DM and SSP of Noida. This land mafia had several cases pending in courts subordinate to Justice Bhalla. Another complaint was that in the Reliance Power matter, though his son was the lawyer for Reliance Power, Justice Bhalla constituted a special bench while he was the presiding judge in Lucknow. He sat in the house of one the judges at 11pm at night to hear their case and pass an injunction in their favour. We asked Chief Justice Sabharwal to initiate proceedings against Bhalla, but he refused. Similarly, Justice Vijender Jain decided the case of a person whose granddaughter had been married out of his own house. He was a close friend but he still heard and decided the case in this persons favour. The point is, in these cases though very specific complaints were made to the then Chief Justice of India (CJI), he didnt do anything to activate the in house procedure. All these judges have gone on to become chief justices. Bhalla is still chief justice of Rajasthan; Virendra Jain became chief justice of Punjab and Haryana. Whats the answer?The first problem is that there is no independent institution for entertaining complaints and taking action against judges. There has to be a National Judicial Complaints Commission independent of the government and judiciary. It should have five members and an investigating machinery under them. The second problem lies in the Veeraswamy judgment, which ordered no criminal investigation can be done against a judge without prior written permission of the CJI. Thats what happened in Karnataka. There was a complaint against several judges visiting a motel and misbehaving with women. When the police officer came, the judges threatened him and said no FIR could be filed against them because they were judges. This happened in the Ghaziabad Provident Fund case as well. The investigation is stumped because the CJI hasnt given permission. We have to get rid of this injunction. The third problem is the Contempt of Court Act. Today, even if you expose a judge with evidence, you run the risk of contempt. Judges are even seeking to insulate themselves from the RTI. We have to get rid of the Contempt of Court Act not the whole Act. Disobeying the orders of the court is civil contempt that should remain. Interfering with the administration of justice is criminal contempt that too should remain. What needs to be deleted is the clause about scandalising or lowering the dignity of the court, for which Arundhati Roy was sent to jail. Finally, there is the problem of appointments. Earlier, judicial appointments were made by the government, which was bad enough. Now, by a sleight of hand, the Supreme Court has taken the power of appointments to itself. Earlier there were political considerations; now there are nepotistic ones. Again, whats the answer to that? We need an independent Judicial Appointments Commission, which is independent and works full time, and follows some systems and procedures. Eligibility lists should be prepared and comparative merits debated and evaluated. You cant just pick judges arbitrarily, and let people know about it only after the deed is done. What are the best practices and conventions elsewhere? There is still no independent We should at least have Public Confirmation hearings like in body to process complaints the US. In the Senate Judicial Committee, you have hearings and action against judges where any public citizen can give evidence about the background of a judge that has bearing on their appointment. This is being fiercely resisted here. Do any counter arguments hold? None that I can see. The judges say all this will compromise their independence. Unfortunately, they are equating the independence of the judiciary with independence from accountability. Independence of the judiciary was meant to be independence from the political establishment, not from all accountability. Are there other ways in which judicial corruption manifests itself?There are so many. There is Justice Kapadia who decided on the Niyamgiri mining lease case in Orissa. He said Vedanta cant be given the lease because its been blacklisted by the Norwegian government; but its subsidiary company Sterlite can get the lease because it is a publicly listed company. Justice Kapadia said its publicly listed because he had shares in it and yet he passed an order in favour of Sterlite! There is a law against judges hearing cases where there is a conflict of interest, but they just bypass it and you cant complain because that would be contempt.

Burn After Reading BRIJESH PANDEY and SANJAY DUBEY track the Supreme Courts lack of urgency in investigating charges of judicial corruption

WHEN SPECIAL CBI judge Rama Jain received an anonymous THE STORY OF A QUIET letter in January 2008, telling her that the provident funds of Class 3 BURIAL? and Class 4 employees of the Ghaziabad court were being siphoned off, she had no idea that she had stumbled onto the Special CBI judge Rama biggest judicial scam in the history of independent India. Jain uncovers Rs 7 crore Provident Fund scam during As she was the designated vigilance officer at the Ghaziabad court, vigilance inquiry she first conducted an inquiry on her own, which uncovered the involvement of at least three judges and the Central Nazir in the Accused Ashutosh Asthana embezzlement of funds. She reported the matter to the Allahabad revealed that he was paying High Court, which, in turn, ordered a vigilance inquiry. Holding that off 36 judges including a the report, prima facie, had merit, the court directed her to file an sitting Supreme Court judge FIR. and 11 High Court judges Central Nazir Ashutosh Asthana was arrested on the basis of the Supreme Court directs CBI FIR on April 10, 2008. His interrogation revealed that Asthana was to investigate, permits not a solo player. He claimed that he was first introduced to the interrogation of all involved

scam by a district judge himself. What followed was so shocking that even the Ghaziabad police was on the backfoot. Asthana confessed that from the Rs 7 crore embezzled, he had given cash and gifts such as airconditioners, refrigerators, expensive clothes, jewellery and furniture to as many as 36 judges, including about 10 High Court judges and one Supreme Court judge. In a sworn statement before a magistrate, Asthana revealed that this fraud had run from 2001 to 2007 with the active connivance of district judges. Every month, Asthana even paid bribes to various judges, from Rs 25,000 to a whopping Rs 1.5 lakh.

interrogation of all involved judges Several status reports given by the CBI to the apex court Reports kept secret. Action taken on basis of reports unknown

When these excerpts from Asthanas confession became public, the public image of the judiciary touched a new low. In perhaps the biggest moment of crisis for the Indian judiciary, Asthana, the main accused, has in turn named judges from the Ghaziabad District Court to the Allahabad High Court, right up to the Supreme Court. This was not all. These revelations stunned the Ghaziabad police. Clearly out of their depth and (justifiably) wary of taking on the powerful judiciary, they requested the Ghaziabad court to hand over the probe to the CBI. In September 2008, the Supreme Court transferred the case to the CBI, but with a rider: Investigate, but give us a sealed report. The PF scam, as it had come to be known, gave the judiciary a wonderful opportunity to redeem itself in the eyes of the people but the case remained shrouded in secrecy. Cynics then said that the whole matter would be given a quiet burial. Eighteen months after the scam became public and four CBI status reports later, the cynics appear to have had the last laugh.

This delay and secrecy in such a highprofile scam raises various uncomfortable questions for the Indian Judiciary. Legal luminaries believe that this is symptomatic of a larger malaise which ails the judiciary. Says jurist Ram Jethmalani, The reputation of a judge is more important than the actual fact of his honesty. In fact, if a judge has a bad reputation, even if it is undeserved, he should not be appointed because then nobody will have confidence in his judgements, adding, When the judiciary expedites cases concerning the executive branch or even most prominent cases, why is such urgency not displayed here, when the matter is extremely serious. Why this delay? A VALID QUESTION. Asthana named 36 judges (a list of which is For six years, funds worth with TEHELKA). Other than the fact that a few have retired, virtually Rs 7 crore were embezzled nothing is known about the fate of the judges of the Allahabad High and judges were allegedly Court and the Supreme Court judge. Whether or not the apex court bribed is planning to initiate or has initiated, criminal charges against any of the judges sitting or retired are questions that only the Supreme Court can answer. And the apex court should answer, argues former Union law minister and senior advocate Shanti Bhushan. I dont appreciate this sealed-cover business except in very rare cases when making something public might be detrimental to the public interest mainly if there is an army secret. Whether it is the judiciary or the executive, all officers are appointed on the behalf of the people. It is on the peoples behalf that the judiciary exercises its powers. How can you keep investigations in the PF scam secret? The people have every right to know what is going on. VN Khare, former Chief Justice of India, concurs. These kind of things should not be allowed to linger. This shakes the confidence of the people in the judiciary. If there is an allegation or misconduct, it must be inquired into immediately and strict action should be taken against the erring judges. Why should the reputation of most judges suffer for no fault of theirs? The biggest question which arises from this scam is the lack of will on the part of the judiciary to rein in errant judges. Let alone the judges named by Asthana, what about the fate of the three Ghaziabad District Judges named by vigilance officer of the district court Special CBI Judge Rama Jain herself? Legal luminaries say this hesitancy on the part of judges to act against fellow judges involved in wrongdoing clearly illustrates the prevailing mindset of the judiciary. When the judiciary expedites cases concerning the executive branch or even most prominent cases, why is such urgency not being displayed in this matter?

RAM JETHMALANI, Jurist I know of a retired Chief Justice of India who is one of the most honest judges I have ever seen. Its difficult to imagine a more honest person. However, when a responsible minister made complaints to him against a corrupt High Court Judge, he did not grant permission for an investigation because he felt that as the head of the judicial family, it was his job to protect judges, be they corrupt or not, says Shanti Bhushan. Ram Jethmalani chips in sarcastically, This is the reason why judges call each other brother judge. IT IS not only cases like the PF scam which taints the image of the judiciary, but also the extreme reluctance on the part of the judiciary to be open and transparent. Reams and reams of paper have gone towards pious exhortations by the judiciary asking the government to refrain from corruption and work in an efficient manner. But sadly, no judge has held forth at length on the need for the judiciary to refrain from corruption. Even attempts to exercise the Right to Information with respect to the office of the CJI came a cropper as the CJIs office was always declared out of bounds. It took a historic verdict by the Delhi High Court to declare that the office of the CJI was not immune from accountability and outside the purview of the RTI Act. Senior lawyers and retired chief justices feel that if the judiciary is not transparent or accountable, it only means that they are trying to hide something. Justice Khare feels, Judges are more accountable than other persons because they hold a very high post. The very existence of the judiciary is based on the faith of the common man in it. If that faith is not there, how can the judiciary function? What incenses them is the behaviour of the government with regard No judge holds forth at to the Judges Assets Declaration Bill which the government tried length on the need for the to introduce in 2009. The opposition erupted in protest and forced judiciary to refrain from the government to defer the bill. Jethmalani terms the governments corruption approach to this bill as a conspiracy of corruption. The government is scared to take on the judiciary. Its clear that the executive wants to cosy up to the judiciary. Agrees retired CJI V N Khare, Why should there be any hesitancy to declare assets at all on the part of judiciary? The whole episode is beyond me. In a recent development, the Supreme Court has reiterated before the Delhi High Court that the CJIs office is outside the purview of the RTI Act. Another assault on the public image of the judiciary is the Corruption charges are Dinakaran episode. Currently, judges are appointed to the swept under the carpet by Supreme Court by the Supreme Court Collegium, a group of judges the judiciary. But this has chaired by the Chief Justice of India. When Chief Justice given a shield of total Dinakaran of the Karnataka High Court was elevated to the immunity to the judges, who Supreme Court, the state Bar and legal luminaries rose up in think they can get away with protest because the Collegium appeared to have dismissed, or, at anything least, not have considered the serious allegations of corruption against him. According to Senior Advocate Soli Sorabjee, The SHANTI Dinakaran episode shows that the Collegium is not working BHUSHAN, Former law satisfactorily. You must have a national commission for judges minister which should be made up of judges, eminent jurists and senior government officials. This council should have the power to get independent information and evaluate it. Shanti Bhushan feels that as judges are extremely busy with hearing cases, there should be a full-time commission whose sole function is to pick judges for the High Court and the Supreme Court and feels that the commission should also have its own bureau of investigation. They should not be dependent on either the local police, who might be afraid to investigate judges, or on an overburdened CBI. But all this is very hard to achieve. Jurists feel that the judges of the higher courts have converted themselves into a union of sorts and are trying to protect each other. Their approach is to sweep every allegation under the carpet. Dont allow the public to know about it. Let the public believe that our judiciary is very honest. But this has been counterproductive. It has given a shield of total immunity to the judges and they think they can get away with anything. This has led to an increase in corruption in the judiciary, states Shanti Bhushan. Time and again, opportunities have arisen for the judiciary to reinvent itself in a new avatar. And time after time, it has failed. Caesars wife, they say, should be above suspicion. Whatever the cost it might take to ensure it. WRITERS EMAIL brijesh@tehelka.com sanjay@tehelka.com From Tehelka Magazine, Vol 6, Issue 41, Dated October 17, 2009

Half of last 16 chief justices have been corrupt By churumuri alt=http://churumuri.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/prashant-and-shantibhushan.png? w=200&h=300 border=0 v:shapes=_x0000_i1036>

Judicial corruption is a bull few in India are willing to attach their names to. There are whispers of this or that sitting judge making piles or cash; of sons, daughters and other near and dear ones acting as brokers for cases, deals, etc, but none of those allegations see the light of day. Not because the media is a willing accomplice but because of the sword of contempt of court hanging over us. For long, truth was not, repeat not, a defence in the case of contempt. Although that is now no longer the case, judicial corruption still isnt headline news like corruption in other spheres of Indian life. The case of Justice P.D. Dinakaran is one of the rare exceptions and that too only in sections of the media. In September 2009, the Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan, in an interview to Shoma Chaudhury of Tehelkamagazine, said half of the last 16 chief justices were corrupt. The comment invited the apex courts contempt. Now, Bhushans father, the noted jurist Shanti

Bhushan has joined issue. In his application before the Supreme Court praying for his impleadment as respondent No.3 in the case of the Amicus Curiae vs Prashant Bhushan, Bhushan senior repeats his sons charge that eight out of the last 16 CJs were corrupt, even going so far as to deliver the names of the corrupt in a sealed cover. In the applicants opinion, eight [of the last 16 chief justices] were definitely corrupt, six were definitely honest and about the remaining two, a definite opinion cannot be expressed whether they were honest or corrupt. Below is the full text of Shanti Bhushans application, published in the public interest. *** To The Honble Chief Justice of India & His companion justices of the Supreme Court of India The humble application of the Petitioners above named. Most respectfully showeth: 1. That the applicant is filing the present application for his impleadment as Respondent No. 3 in the aforementioned contempt petition as the applicant is making a categorical statement in the present application that eight of the last sixteen Chief Justices of India were definitely corrupt and also providing the names of those eight definitely corrupt Chief Justices in a sealed cover as an annexure along with the present application. 2. The applicant is a practicing advocate who was enrolled on 8 July 1948. He has appeared in each and every High Court in the country. He is well acquainted with the manner in which the Indian judiciary has been functioning and how its character has been changing over the years. 3. That the applicant has been a part of the campaign for judicial accountability since its inception in the year 1990. 4. That there was a time when it was almost impossible even to think that a judge of a High court or the Supreme Court could be corrupt. Things have changed drastically during the last 2 or 3 decades during which corruption has been growing in the Indian judiciary. So much so that even a sitting Chief Justice of India had to openly admit that 20% of the judges could be corrupt. Very recently in March 2010 a sitting Chief Justice of a high court openly made a statement. The statement of the sitting chief justice was published by the Times of India in its issue of 6th march 2010 with the headlines, In our judiciary, anybody can be bought, says Gujarat chief justice. A copy of the news paper report is being annexed hereto as Annexure A. 5. That the applicant believes that the reported statement may not be correctly reflecting the perception of the Gujarat Chief Justice, since he should be knowing as the applicant does that there are and have always been plenty of totally honest judges, but they are also becoming the victim of this public perception since no institution of governance in the country is taking any effective steps about dealing with corruption in the judiciary. 6. That India became a republic in 1950, when the people became sovereign. They got the right to constitute their institutions, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary, to serve them, who would be accountable to them. 7. That before 1950, corruption was almost non existent in the High Courts. The federal court had in 1949 got Justice Shiv Prasad Sinha removed from the Allahabad High Court, merely on the finding that he had passed 2 judicial orders on extra judicial considerations. 8. That it however appears that thereafter the judiciary has adopted the policy of sweeping all allegations of judicial corruption under the carpet in the belief that such allegations might tarnish the image of the judiciary. It does not realize that this policy has played a big role in increasing judicial corruption. 9. That the Constitution prescribed removal by impeachment as the only way of removing judges who commit misconduct since it was believed at the time of the framing of the Constitution that misconduct by judges of the higher judiciary would be very rare. However those expectations have been belied as is apparent from the surfacing of a series of judicial scandals in the recent past. The case of Justice V. Ramaswami and subsequent attempts to impeach other judges have shown that this is an impractical and difficult process to deal with corrupt judges. The practical effect of this has been to instill a feeling of impunity among judges who feel that they cannot be touched even if they misconduct. 10. That corruption by judges is a cognizable offence. The Code of Criminal Procedure requires that whenever an FIR is filed with respect to a cognizable offence, it is the statutory duty of the police to investigate the offence. The police has to collect evidence against the accused and charge-sheet him in a competent court. He would then be tried and punished by being sent to jail. The Supreme Court has however by violating this statutory provision in the CrPC given a direction in its Constitution bench judgement in theVeeraswamy case of 1991 that no FIR would be registered against any judge without the permission of the Chief Justice of India. In not a single case has any such permission ever been granted for the registration of an FIR against any judge after that judgement. 11. That the result of this direction has been that a total immunity has been given to corrupt judges against their prosecution. No wonder that judicial corruption has increased by leaps and bounds. 12. That an honest judiciary enjoying public confidence is an imperative for the functioning of a democracy, and it is the duty of every right thinking person to strive to achieve this end. 13. That unless the level of corruption in the judiciary is exposed and brought in the public domain, the institutions of governance cannot be activated to take effective measures to eliminate this evil. 14. That it is the common perception that whenever such efforts are made by anyone, the judiciary tries to target him by the use of the power of contempt. It is the reputation of the judge which is his shield against any malicious and false allegations against him. He doesnt need the power of contempt to protect his reputation and credibility. 15. That the applicant strongly believes that a responsible citizen should be prepared to undergo any amount of suffering in the pursuit of the noble cause of fighting for a clean judiciary. 16. That there are two statements of Respondent no. 1 (Prashant Bhushan) published in Tehelka by Respondent no. 2 which are alleged to constitute contempt of court. In the 1st statement, Respondent no. 1 has expressed that in his view, out of the last 16 or 17 chief justices of India, half have been corrupt. 17. The applicant states that in his view too this statement is absolutely correct. At the time of the publication of this report in Tehelka, the last 16 Chief Justices of India were the following: 1. Justice Ranganath Mishra, 2. Justice K.N. Singh, 3. Justice M.H. Kania, 4. Justice L.M. Sharma, 5. Justice M.N. Venkatchalliah, 6. Justice A.M. Ahmadi, 7. Justice J.S. Verma, 8. Justice M.M. Punchhi, 9. Justice A.S. Anand, 10. Justice S.P. Bharucha, 11. Justice B.N. Kripal, 12. Justice G.B. Patnaik, 13. Justice Rajendra Babu, 14. Justice R. C. Lahoti, 15. Justice V.N. Khare, 16. Justice Y.K SabharwalOut of these, in the applicants opinion, eight were definitely corrupt, six were definitely honest and about the remaining two, a definite opinion cannot be expressed whether they were honest or corrupt. The signed lists identifying these eight, six and two Chief Justices of India are being enclosed in a sealed cover which is being annexed here to as Annexure B. 18. That in fact two former chief justices of India had personally told the applicant while they were in office that their immediate predecessor and immediate successor were corrupt judges. The names of these four Chief Justices of India are included in the list of the 8 corrupt Chief Justices of India. 19. That since the applicant is publicly stating that out of the last sixteen Chief Justices of India, eight of them were definitely corrupt, the applicant also needs to be added as a respondent to this contempt petition so that he is also suitably punished for this contempt. The applicant would consider it a great honour to spend time in jail for making an effort to get for the people of India an honest and clean judiciary. 20. That the applicant also submits that since the questions arising in this case affects the judiciary as a whole, the petition needs to be decided by the entire court and not merely by three judges handpicked by a Chief Justice. PRAYERS In view of the above, it is most respectfully prayed that this Honble Court may be pleased to: 1. allow the present application and implead the Applicant as a contemnor in the aforementioned contempt petition as Respondent no. 3; and 2. pass any other or further order/s as this Honble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

Shylendra Kumar Is Sikkim HCs dignity less than that of Karnatakas? The father, the sons-in-law and the unholy properties

JEEMON JACOB & VK SHASHIKUMAR scoop documents to establish property amassed by former Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnans son-in-law, PV Sreenijan, a practising lawyer who recently resigned from the Kerala Congress WHEN KG Balakrishnan was appointed Chief Justice of India in 2007, it was a great moment for a man of humble origins. But VR Krishna Iyer, PHOTO: SHAILENDRA former judge of the Supreme Court and national icon, now says, I used PANDEY to say that an era had begun when KG Balakrishnan became the first Dalit Chief Justice. Now, I dont feel that way. Post retirement, Balakrishnan became head of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in June last year. Ever since, a rising crescendo of allegations of corruption have been heard, fuelled by the fact that his younger brother KG Bhaskaran and his two daughters and sons-in-law all acquired vast properties during his tenure as Chief Justice. TEHELKA has accessed documents that show that between 2007 and 2010, son-in-law Puliyanaveettil Vasu Sreenijan purchased property worth Rs. 1.85 crore. The current real estate value of these properties is in excess of Rs. 25 crore. This is a truly amazing story of wealth creation by a man who, while contesting elections from Keralas reserved Njarackkal Assembly constituency as a Congress candidate in 2006, had declared a bank balance of Rs. 25,000 apart from 24 g of gold. Sreenijan is married zto Balakrishnans elder daughter KB Sony, whom he met in college. He traces his background to a humble and hardworking family: his father was a factory worker in Premier Tyres, Kalamassery, and a Congress party worker. His classmates remember him as an introvert who had a muted, almost latent, ambition to become a powerful politician. From campus politics he moved to the Youth Congress and took active part in its programmes and activities. Sreenijan became a practising lawyer in the Kerala High Court. When Balakrishnan started his three-year tenure as Chief Justice, Sreenijan started making huge investments in real estate and tourism. This sudden acquisition of wealth is currently being probed by the vigilance department after a probe was ordered by Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan. TEHELKA repeatedly tried to establish contact with Sreenijan for his version via SMS and phone, but all calls went unanswered. After his marriage with Sony, Sreenijans political career also leapfrogged. He was appointed state vice-president of the Youth Congress. Though Congress leaders like MA Kuttappan (also a former minister) challenged Sreenijans rise, such protests were short-lived. He lost the 2006 elections but his wife purchased a flat and car parking space in Travancore Residency Towers for Rs. 6 lakh in 2007. WITHIN A month, Sony again purchased another flat in Mather Square. The cost of the flat mentioned in the title deed is only Rs. 1.49 lakh, but the market price of flats in the vicinity was about Rs. 66 lakh at that time. Today, Kerala Youth Congress leaders who were angry about Sreenijans political rise are gunning for him. We demand a CBI inquiry to find out how Sreenijan acquired so much property and assets within the last three years, said M Liju, former Youth Congress state president. On 5 January, Sreenijan tendered his resignation as Youth Congress vice-president. In November 2008, Sreenijan purchased a river-front property of 277.52 cents in Kadukutti village in Thrissur district where he is now reportedly constructing a resort. According to the title deed, he purchased the land from Mohammed Iqbal Mather for Rs. 14 lakh. Villagers who prefer to remain anonymous say the market price was Rs. 1 lakh per cent. If that is the case he has allegedly shelled out Rs. 2.77 crore. And building the resort could put him back by more than Rs. 10 crore.

Legal riches? Sreenijans wealth has multiplied since 2007

In 2009, Sreenijan purchased another property on Deshabhimani Road in Ernakulam for Rs. 30 lakh. Later, a property of 3.5 cents of land was purchased in his mothers name (Sreemathy Vasu) adjacent to his plot. But it is not only Sreenijan who became rich during Balakrishnans tenure as CJI. The second son-in-law, advocate MJ Benny, too, became wealthier after his marriage to Rani, Balakrishnans younger daughter. Born to a working-class Christian couple in Nettur, Ernakulam, Benny married Rani in 2006. Benny and Rani, both lawyers, fell in love in the court. Bennys assets piled up in a manner similar to Sreenijans. Between 19 March 2008 and 26 March 2010, he purchased 98.5 cents of land through five title deeds for Rs.81.5 lakh. This is prime land along the National Highway in Marad, Ernakulam district. A cursory comparison of land rates during this period shows that the property was undervalued. When Benny purchased the property it was around Rs. 4 lakh per cent and at current rates would be Rs. 10 lakh per cent. Yet Benny showed his yearly income as Rs. 5 lakh and Rs. 5.5 lakh during the assessment years 2008-09 and 2009-10. Just five land deals made Benny a millionaire in two years. Rani also embarked on an investment spree, purchasing 10.5 acres in Athirampuzha with her relatives, including Abhilash T Chandran in 2007. Chandran is the son of Thangappan, one of Balakrishnans six brothers. Then theres KG Bhaskaran, younger brother of the former CJI, who is in the spotlight for possessing property beyond his known sources of income. A senior government pleader practising in the Kerala High Court, Bhaskaran reportedly purchased 50 acres of land in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. In the light of allegations of having illegally amassed property he was asked to go on leave from 4 January by Keralas Advocate General CP Sudhakara Prasad. Bhaskaran, a former member of the CPM, contested Assembly elections as a party candidate from Vaikom in 1977. Bhaskaran was a regular visitor to the Supreme Court during his elder brothers tenure as the CJI. He is also reportedly close to Justice Paul Daniel Dinakaran (currently Chief Justice of Sikkim High Court and former Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court) against whom serious allegations have been levelled of land grab in Tamil Nadu. No wonder, the Kerala Vigilance Department is now probing all the assets acquired by Balakrishnans family. Especially as the patriarch has not faded into the sunset and is now heading a body tasked with bringing justice to those whose human rights have been violated.

Public prosecutor caught on the wrong side of law In a decision termed rarest of rare by a city court, a trial court judge found a public prosector on the wrong side of the law. Indicting the prosecutor for deliberately botching up examination of witnesses in a case of abduction for ransom, Additional Sessions Judge Pratap S Malik has passed strictures against the states counsel and sent the copy of his order to the prosecution branch for necessary action. The judge held that there was a deliberate attempt by the prosecutor to create situations favourable for the three accused, found guilty of abducting one Sanjay Khan for ransom in 2004. Khan had later committed suicide to escape further assault and the court, finding ample evidence on record, had awarded life imprisonment to the trio on Saturday. The prosecutor had refrained from putting important questions to police officials and other witnesses that could help the prosecution nail the accused in a more convincing manner, the court observed.

Prosecutor caught in ACB trap

Thane, Apr 7 (PTI) An assistant Public Prosecutor attached to the Kalyan court was trapped by Thane unit of Anti Corruption Bureau while allegedly accepting bribe in the court premises this evening. ACB officials said that one Tuna Bharati, a resident of Malad, had filed case of dowry harassment against husband and in-laws of his late sister, Bhavana. Assistant Public Prosecutor, Chayya Bhadkamkar allegedly demanded Rs 20,000 and accepted the first instalment of Rs 3,500, for arguing the case effectively, ACB said. She was trapped today while taking the balance amount, it said.

JUDGES IN PROVIDENT FUND SCAM ?

NEW DELHI: Faced with accusations having the potential to unhinge the traditional public perception of the judiciarys clean image, the SC on Monday decided to examine the possible mode of probe into the Rs 23 crore illegal PF withdrawal scam allegedly involving 23 judges, including some from the HCs and one from the apex court. The difficult question on the mode of probe was posed by a petitioner, who is the chairman of Advocates Welfare Trust and Bar Association of Ghaziabad the place where the scam took place even as CJI K G Balakrishnan had shown faith in the integrity of the judges by asking the UP police, which is probing the scam, to send questionnaires to the judges, whose names allegedly figured in the scam. Unwilling to have the judges interrogated by the police at first go, SC had written to the UP police that if the response of those judges to the questionnaire did not satisfy the probe team, then it could send request for personal interrogation. The request for interrogation in person would be considered on merit, the SC had told the police in a communication. Appearing for the Bar, senior advocate Fali S Nariman flanked by senior advocates Anil Divan and M N Krishnamani expressed concern over the scandal and also pointed out the possible dent in the image of the judiciay if an SHO was seen interrogating a judge. Bench comprising CJI Balakrishnan and Justices P Sathasivam and J M Panchal appeared undecided about the constitution of a committee as suggested by Nariman, it decided to seek the assistance of solicitor general G E Vahanvati to chart out a possible course to deal with the situation.

To keep the proceedings off the media glare, the bench decided to take up the matter in chamber on July 14, when Vahanvati and other senior advocates would make good their assistance to look for a way out of the problematic situation. The petition said one Ashutosh Asthana, the Central Nazir in the judgeship of Ghaziabad, had allegedly confessed before a magistrate about his role in the PF scam and had allegedly mentioned the names of 23 judges who were beneficiaries of the ill-gotten money.

PROTECTION OF WITNESSES IN CRIMINAL CASES JESSICA LAL MURDER CASE & GUJARATH RIOTS

In the 7 year old jessica lal murder case , all the accussed children of rich & mighty have gone scot free , for lack of both prosecution & witnesses. The culprits have forced the witnesses to remain silent through the use of muscle & money power. The investigating police official, from the beginning has done roughshod work & also have played a role in silencing witnesses. I.O MORE RICHER NOW? PROMOTIONS? The presiding judge of the court has overlooked many omissions & commissions by the prosecution and in a hurry closed the case , acquitting all the accussed. Reward for judge promotion as high court judge. In this way, the police-prosecutor-judge were together ganged up against the victim from the beginning. Also, the witnesses were afraid of brute muscle power of rowdies & rowdies in khaki uniform. Now, take the gujarath riots case. In the first place riot took place under the active patronage of gujarath state government machinery. Naturally the police , prosecutors & judges in gujarath were against the riot victims & closed one case after another, acquitting the guilty. However the apex court got transferred riot cases out of gujarath , under public pressure. However, even the apex court failed to instill confidence , in the prime witness of best bakery case , the apex court failed to positively reassure the witness of her safety & livlihood. As a result , out of fear she became hostile- went on changing her statements. In this manner, numerous low profile cases involving commonman are buried , witnesses silenced by the corrupt nexus of police-prosecutorjudge. They dont even draw media attention as they are low profile. Drastic reforms of criminal justice system in india is needed. Punishing the hostile witness is not the solution. Accountability of investigating officers , police , prosecutors & judges is needed.how come some police officials , public prosecutors & judges are leading luxurious lifestyles, beyond the scope of their legal income? Recently in the media there was mention of a C.D of alleged conversation between samajvadi party M.P mr.amar singh & U.P chief minister , about influencing a high court judge & fixing a case. This is the way our judiciary functions in india. Rewards for corrupt judges out of turn promotions, post retirement postings , postings to kith & kin , land allotments , etc. Accountability of judiciary & investigating agencies is the need of the day. Let us start with polygraph tests for I.O , POLICE , PUBLIC PROSECUTOR & JUDGE of jessica lal murder case.

Reproduced from The Times Of India August 16, 2007 page10 We do frame people, says NCB official Sub-Inspector Tell HC How They Plant Drugs On Innocents Abhinav Garg / TNN

New Delhi:Its been suspected by many, but confirmation of the police falsely implicating people by planting drugs on them has now come from the policeman himself who has been accused of

planting drugs on two innocent people. Sub-Inspector Ranbir Singh of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) admitted at the Delhi High Court that testing kits for checking banned drugs wereoften defective. Whats more officers often replaced the recovered substance with lethal drugs in order to implicate them. A shocked court has summoned the NCB director to explain the charge. Ranbir is himself tainted of this grave abuse of authority. There is an FIR against him for falsely implicating rwo persons under the harsh Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances act. He claimed to have recovered 100gm heroin from them which later turned out to be harmless paracetomal powder. The officer is now seeking to get the FIR quashed and in his defence has claimed that he was not the only one who framed people, several other officers did the same. The Judge has also summoned the Kamala Market Narcotics Cell in-charge from whose area Singh allegedly picked up the two persons. The Director and the Cell in-charge will have to explain before the court as to how these two innocents were booked and thrown into jail when two forensic reports clearly stated that the substance in question was paracetomol. The case in which Singh is involved took place in March last year. Gyanender and Santosh were arrested by him for alleged possesion of heroin. The substance was sent for testing to two CFCL labs-one in Rohini and the other in Chandigarh- and both labs reported back that the powder wasnt heroin but just parecetomal. After this came to light, the additional sessions judge hearing the case acquited the two men and recommended that an FIR be lodged against Singh as the two undertrials had to languish in jail because of the wanton abuse of authority. The high court, while hearing a petition filed by Singh seeking quashing of FIR against him found it intriguing that even when the investigating team is equipped with field testing kit to test the contraband, they had mistaken paracetomal powder for heroin. Upon which Singh revealed that kits were often defective and that officers also changed the actual recovered substance with banned contraband.

After enjoying to the hilt at taxpayers expense , these same public servants dont serve the public , they serve the rich crooks , anti nationals in their greed for more money.

All the while the same poor tax payer suffers without justice . In India more than 50 Crore people are barely surviving on a single piece meal .Let the corrupt public servants eat their 5-star meals by the side of the graves of Bhopal Gas Victims. Atleast this will open the eyes of honest few in public service police , judiciary & parliament , it is a fond hope. This is an appeal to those honest few in judiciary , police & parliament to catch hold of their corrupt colleagues.

Former SC judge wants ex-CJI probed for corruption

In the wake of allegations that former Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnans relatives have amassed property worth crores, a long-retired Supreme Court judge on Monday demanded that the Centre initiate a probe against him. With reports appearing in the local media, former Supreme Court judge (retd) Justice V R Krishna Iyer on Monday led calls for a thorough inquiry into the allegations a day after a local TV news channel made the stunning expose. I myself feel sad that I was a judge. I used to say that an era had begun when K G Balakrishnan became the first Dalit chief justice. Now, I dont feel that way, said the former Supreme Court judge. He pointed out that there were allegations against Balakrishnans daughter, son-in-law and even mother-in-law. A commission comprising chief justices should probe the assets and bank balances of all of Balakrishnans relatives, he said in Kochi. A leading jurist and former Supreme Court judge, Justice Iyer urged Parliament and the Prime Minister to appoint a high-powered commission to inquire into the issue. The President must require politely Balakrishnan to resign, Justice Iyer said of Justice Balakrishnan who is the National Human Rights Commission Chairman. As reported, Justice Balakrishnans son-in-law P V Sreenijin, who is a member of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, had contested the 2006 Assembly election from the Narakkal reserved constituency in Ernakulam district. At that time, while filing his nomination papers, Sreenijin had declared he possessed no landed property and that his wife had only gold worth Rs 4.38 lakh and a little over Rs 1 lakh in cash. Three years later, Sreenijin and his wife K B Sony, both lawyers, declared Rs 35 lakh while filing their income tax returns. However, according to reports now, the couple, who have not declared any sources of income other than their legal profession, own property worth crores and are constructing a river-front resort in Thrissur. Several of these properties are worth many times more than the amounts for which they have been registered. The CPMs youth wing, the DYFI, has claimed that whatever information had come out was only the tip of the ice-berg. We have more evidence to prove that the former CJIs relatives have property in Dubai, Bangalore and Tamil Nadu. The needle of suspicion naturally points to Justice Balakrishnan himself, said DYFI state president and MP M B Rajesh. Sreenijin has refused to answer questions from mediapersons saying he will react later. Justice Balakrishnan was also recently embroiled in a controversy over a letter written by a Madras High Court judge to him complaining against former Telecom minister A Raja having tried to influence him over phone. For the record, Delhi-based journalist M Furquan in June this year petitioned Vice-President

Hamid Ansari for a CBI investigation against Balakrishnan and his family for finding out how much financial assets they have (allegedly) accumulated since he took over as the CJI. Ansari had passed on the complaint to the Union Home Ministry which in turn handed it over to the CBI. The complaint is reported to be with the CBI Kochi unit now.

YOU TOO, YOUR HONOUR? The retired judge picked to probe the Karnataka land scams has a tsunami of scandals in his past, reports IMRAN KHAN

SOME THINGS just seem to get worse. Under pressure to quit for alleged corruption in land allotment, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa finally constituted a one-man commission to probe alleged land scams since 1995. Yeddyurappa chose retired Karnataka High Court judge, Justice B Padmaraj. The opposition, which was gunning for the chief minister, appeared satisfied and stopped its campaign. But, Justice Padmaraj, it appears, has something in his past that ought to have disqualified him from heading the probe. In 2007, a Joint Legislature Committee (JLC) indicted Justice Padmaraj and 84 other HC and Supreme Court judges for owning plots in the Karnataka State Judicial Department Employees House Building Co-operative Society. According to the JLC, the society had created an all India record for being the mother of all illegalities and was formed by unleashing a tsunami of scandals. Constituted in June 2006, the JLC was headed by AT Ramaswamy and had 14 MLAs and six MLCs. It was entrusted with the objective of investigating land encroachments in Bengaluru. The AT Ramaswamy report found that the society had violated the Karnataka Land Reforms Act by acquiring 36 acres of private agricultural land in Bengaluru North Taluk without prior permission of the government. The Land Reforms Act stipulates that any such acquired land shall A Joint Legislature Committee indicted Justice be forfeited after a summary inquiry by the assistant commissioner concerned. The JLC also found that the residential layout did not Padmaraj and 84 other judges in a 2007 land scam seek approval from the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) the planning authority under the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act. Further, the report notes that the House Building Cooperative Society then submitted its layout to the City Municipal Council, Yelahanka, which is not the planning authority for the society land. The JLC also found that the layout violated norms for the allocation of civic amenities and parks. Town planning norms mandate 25 percent for civic amenities, while the original layout plan envisage only 5 percent. The JLC also questioned the appropriateness of both sitting and retired judges being allotted sites. It wrote: The society has allotted sites to persons who are ineligible for allotment of sites as judicial employees. Most noteworthy of such ineligible persons are the HC judges, many of whom have been allotted sites. Shocked at the extent of corruption perpetuated by the judiciary, the JLC noted: The society, which should have been a model to others, has become the leading lawbreaker without fear or care of law, property or public interest. This is a strong indictment. So how did Yeddy pick Padmaraj?

Ex-CJIs wealth under scanner

KOCHI: There is no respite for Justice K G Balakrishnan, former CJI and present NHRC Chairman, from controversies. Close on the heels of the A Raja episode, he has landed in trouble with allegations erupting over his assets. A CBI inquiry into the amassment of wealth by him is now on the cards. The CBI is awaiting a formal nod from the Registrar-General of the Supreme Court, which is a legal requirement, to launch a probe into his mysterious assets. CBI sources have confirmed the receipt of a complaint against Balakrishnan by a Delhi-based journalist. The journalist, in his complaint filed before the Vice-Presidents office, alleged that the former CJI had amassed wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. The Vice- Presidents office forwarded the complaint to the Union Home Ministry which in turn forwarded it to the CBI. We have received the complaint but no investigation has been launched. It will be launched only after getting an official nod. The Supreme Court Registrar-General is the competent authority to give sanction for the probe, said sources in the Kerala unit of the CBI. But, it is reliably learnt that a quick verification of assets of Justice Balakrishnans daughter K B Sony and her husband P V Sreenijin indicated that everything was not hunky-dory. Sreenijin, a KPCC member, has allegedly amassed wealth to the tune of several crores in the past four years. Sreenijin, who had declared only assets worth Rs 25,000 in the affidavit filed in the 2006 Assembly polls (he was the Congress candidate from Njarackal,) now owns several prime properties, including a riverside plot of 2.5 acres at Annamanada in Thrissur. He and his wife Sony have also acquired a flat in the city, a plum office space near the High Court and 25 cents of land at Elamakkara (in the suburbs of Kochi) where the construction of a bungalow is in progress. Both Sreenijin and Sony are practising advocates and dont have any other known sources of income. The state unit of the DYFI has also called for a detailed inquiry into the allegations and demanded the resignation of Justice Balakrishnan as NHRC chief. The fresh controversy will land Justice Balakrishnan in a precarious position as he has already been under a cloud following Supreme Court Judge H L Gokhales revelation regarding former Telecom Minister A Rajas bid to influence a Chennai High Court judge.

Five-star jails of India

In a raid on Meerut Jail led by the DIG of Agra Jail to recover and seize cell phones and other unauthorised and prohibited items, there was a fight between the jail police and inmates of the high-security prison. It left six police officials and four inmates injured. The raiding DIG said, It could not have happened without the connivance of jail officials. We had special instructions from the home department as Meerut Jail is known for its lawlessness. But we were shocked when a thou-sand-strong mob attacked us with sticks and stones. We were trapped and could only escape after we charged towards the gate. The prisoners snatched away all the mobile phones and contra-band recovered during the check that was ordered at the instance of the State Government. The DIG has accused the superintendent of Meerut Jail of inciting the jail inmates to attack us so that we could not find prohibited articles in the jail. On the other hand, the jail superintendent has accused the DIG of demanding illegal gratification. Some staff has been suspended. The other form of corruption reported from the Meerut Jail included unauthorised sale of items at exorbitant prices. Cigarettes were being sold for Rs 20 per stick. It cost Rs 500 for a meal of choice. A local call could be made for Rs 20, an STD call cost Rs 100. The Meerut Jail, built to house 700 inmates, now has 1,850 prisoners. A former Uttar Pradesh Minister, serving his sentence in Lucknow Jail for the murder of his mistress Madhumita Shukla, freely hosted a wedding anniversary bash for a co-accused in the murder case inside the jail premises. A sitting Minister when asked replied, No one is born a criminal and the Samajwadi Party believes in transformation of criminals. You cant stop anyone from celebrating an occasion concerning him, his family or near and dear ones within the premises of the jail. As per my knowledge, there was no violation of the jail manual. In 2004, three accused involved in the assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh escaped scandalously from the Burail Jail in Chandigarh. Inspection of the jail showed that the high profile prisoners were not only leading a luxurious life, but they had also enclosed their cells in a way that their activities inside could not be kept under vigil. Once the cell was turned into a virtual fortress, the prisoners dug a tunnel to escape. The escape of terrorists involved in one of the most high-profile assassinations could not have materialised simply through a nexus between corrupt jail staffers and the prisoners. Vast sums of money as well as a pattern of internal and external intimidation was necessary to create the conditions for the eventual breakout and a significant network of support was essential to make sure that the fugitives could evade the police system once they were out. The escape of Phoolan Devis killers from high security Tihar Jail and other similar escapes of prisoners highlight the ineptitude and complicity of jail staff. Tihar Jail is actually a complex of seven prisons, having a capacity of 4,000 prisoners. But actually there are more than 12,000 prisoners lodged there. Regrettably, there is no fixed rule as to how many prisoners can be lodged in a particular jail.

The following is the existing jail system. There are two categories of jails district jails normally built for 400 prisoners each and central jails for 750 each. The jail staff members are not from the police and have their own distinct hierarchy. There are different categories of under-trial prisoners depending upon their education and social status. Courts have directed jails to do away with the colonial, vintage classification of under-trial prisoners into Class I, II and III, based on their socio-economic status, but Government continues to stick to the old practice. Selected prisoners are used for the internal management of jails to make up for manpower shortage as well as administrative work. The convict- supervisors become a link between the prisoners and jail officials. They are given an incentive for their work. Any wrong placement or selection can lead to the escape of prisoners or other crimes going unchecked inside the jails. The Indira Gandhi Government had set up a high-powered panel in 1980 to propose prison reforms. The apparent cause was Mrs Gandhis first-hand experience of the conditions in Tihar where she was lodged in 1978. Mrs Gandhi appointed the Justice AN Mulla Committee to review the national jail system even though jail is a State Government subject. The Mulla Committee, 1983, recommended that the Constitution be amended to shift the subject of prisons from the State List to the Concurrent List. That never happened. The Centre at present has no say in the matter of jails except when they are in Union Territories where, again, jails are far from being models. The result is that jails continue to be governed by an outdated law enacted by the British in 1894. The position is that the jail conditions vary greatly from one State to another or even from prison to prison. There is no national policy on prisons. A sensible recommendation of the Mulla Committee was to classify prisons into special security, maximum, medium and minimum security prisons. Such a classification can serve as a safeguard against jailbreaks and jail riots. Much before sting operations became a norm with the media, a hard-hitting report had shown that in the Tihar Jail, officials mixed with notorious inmates like Charles Sobraj who ran an extensive drug and liquor racket with impunity. This led to a secret visit of the then Home Minister Giani Zail Singh to Tihar Jail. He was stunned to see a drunken prisoner offering him a bottle of liquor. A mortified Government finally suspended two jail officials. Criminalisation of politics has produced a strange phenomenon. Criminals have contested elections from behind the bars and some of them have won. Given such topsy-turvy world of politics, prison officials are often either unmindful of the crimes being committed regularly inside the prisons, or sometimes they are the ones to provide prisoners with mobile phones, drugs and food. These jail staffers also organise kavi sammelans and mushairas and help prisoners run extortion rackets and criminal gangs from inside the jails. A prison for some prisoners has become a home away from home. The next issue is that of under-trials. According to the statistics compiled by the Custodial Justice Cell of the National Human Rights Commission, 225,817 of 304,893 or 74.06 per cent of the total prison population in the country comprises those awaiting trial. The total jail capacity in India is 232,412 prisoners, which makes the total prison population 31 per cent higher than capacity, clearly emphasising the urgent need for a speedier justice mechanism. Only when politicians go to jail do they talk about reforming the jail system. They forget the issue the moment they are out. We must be clear as to what kind of confinement or jail system we want. The time to make a beginning is now before things get worse. There must be a Central law to be followed as a model by all States.

No restrictions at Arthur Road jail, gangsters take leave at will

Pune: A highly confidential inquiry report by the Maharashtra prison department has revealed that several key undertrials, including Mohammad Dossa, underworld don-turned-politician Arun Gawli and DK Rao (the right-hand man of fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan), among others, freely availed of leave out of the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai over the last three years.

The jail authorities neither reported the leave granted to these high-profile undertrials to senior prison authorities, nor did they raise objections to the leave applications in court. A senior prison officer told DNA that the inquiry report has been sent to the state home department for action as it has exposed corrupt practices at the jail. Ironically, officials of the state prison department have none other than 26/11 accused Mohammed Ajmal Amir aka Kasab to thank for the revelation of this nexus between the prison authorities and the undertrials. Sources told DNA that when the undertrials, including Rao and Gawli, were shifted to Taloja in Navi Mumbai, they started demanding similar treatment at the new jail premises. They were shifted to Taloja so that maximum protection could be provided to Kasab, who was to be lodged at the Arthur Road jail. The undertrials continued to demand leave at Taloja as they had at Arthur Road, said an official, adding that the authorities at Taloja then reported the matter to senior prison authorities in Pune and Mumbai. Former superintendent of Arthur Road jail Swati Sathe, who is currently posted in Nashik, said she was unaware of any inquiry. It was during Sathes tenure that the influential undertrials availed of leave. The inquiry revealed that leave extended from a few hours to even a couple of days. It also found that this practice had been going on at the jail for nearly three years. The authorities did not deny leave to around 45 gangsters, most of whom are booked under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999. One undertrial gangster was found to have gone on leave on 35 occasions, the report said. The Maharashtra Prisons Manual has no provision to grant leave to undertrials, as is allowed in the case of convicts lodged in jails. It is customary for an undertrial to obtain permission from a court in order to avail leave. The inquiry revealed that none of the 45 undertrials sent their applications via the jail officials. They were directly sent to court. Significantly, the authorities at Arthur Road jail failed to appeal against this. The jail authorities also failed to report the leave taken by the under-trials to the state government, which generally alerts the police machinery to keep a close watch on the activities of the suspects. State prisons chief, inspector-general of police Uddhav Kamble confirmed to DNA the commissioning of the inquiry, but refused to elaborate. A senior official of the prison department confirmed the developments as well. Another senior jail official explained that leave is only granted to an under-trial by the court for emergency situations, like the demise or serious health condition of the next-of-kin, besides attending the marriage of his/her children. Leave can also be availed for emergency medical treatment at the private hospitals, but only under the supervision of the jail authorities. However the under-trials went on leave to attend marriages and death of distant relatives, other minor health issues of family members and even their companions. Kamble sought a detailed record from the deputy inspector general of police (prisons), Mumbai, of all the leave awarded by the courts. The DIG, Mumbai conducted an inquiry and found the involvement of Arthur Road Jail officials. Another inquiry was commissioned to verify the findings of the DIGs report. In Pune, 22 inmates have been missing from the Yerawada Central Prison after they were granted parole or furlough in the past 30 years. Mumbai-based gangster Vijay Thopte who was accused in the murder of union leader Datta Samant and Arun Gawli gang member Eknath Arjun Mohite of Bhosari are among those missing from the Yerawada jail. While Thopte has been missing after he was granted parole a year ago, Mohite, who has several cases registered against him with the Pune city and rural police units, has been missing for more than a year now.

Might Not Have Recommended Parole For Manu: Pilot

Disapproving the grant of parole to Jessica Lall murder convict Manu Sharma, who also happens to be the son of an influential Haryana Congress leader, Congress leader Sachin Pilot has said that he might not have recommended parole to the lifer had he been the chief minister of Delhi. I personally believe that perhaps more diligence should have been made before issuing these orders. The fact that he has already gone back (to jail) does not make a difference now, Pilot said while participating in a TV programme. Asked whether it was a mistake for the Delhi government to have recommended parole for Sharma, Pilot said, Well I am not Delhi chief minister. From whatever I know of the case, if I was the chief minister I would probably not have given the parole. Sharma was granted parole after chief minister Sheila Dikshit recommended it. Sharma, who had applied for the parole on the ground of performing religious rites for his grandmother (who died in 2008), attending to his ailing later modified to ageing mother, and business matters, in Chandigarh. Significantly, the Delhi Police has gone on record to say that it had opposed the grant of parole. It has been reported that the Delhi government has so far received 132 parole applications this

year out of which as many as 88 are still pending, 33 were rejected and 11 applicants were granted parole. Dikshit had so far been under fire for justifying her decision, saying that it was within the legal purview only from the opposition BJP and legal luminaries, who had so far been protesting that it was a blatant case of partisanship. Not only was Manu Sharma granted parole on flimsy grounds, and his parole extended by another month on the recommendation by Dikshit, he clearly violated the parole conditions as well. Opposition BJP points out that Manu Sharmas father Venod Sharma, who is an influential Congress leader in Haryana, played a major role in ensuring that the Congress government in Haryana could be sworn. He is believed to have been instrumental in getting the support of not only the seven independents but also the defectors from Haryana Janhit Congress which now only has Kuldeep Bishnoi left because as many as five of his MLAs joined Congress on Monday. Sachin Pilot is the first Congress leader who has gone on record to even mildly express disagreement over the issue.

Nobody would have known

What is even more significant is that the news of Jessica Lal murder convict who is serving a life sentence for having shot dead the Delhi model on April 29, 1999 at the Tamarind Court Bar being out on parole came to public notice only because he was yet again involved in a brawl in a nightclub. Observers point out that the brawl on the night of November 6 at F bar in New Delhis Ashoka hotel that Manu Sharma and Sahil Dhingra got involved with Pranay Dadwal and his female friend may even have gone unreported or been hushed up had Delhi police commissioners own son not been involved in the case. The argument turned ugly and Pranay Dadwal informed his father, who happens to be none other than Delhi Police Commissioner Y.S. Dadwal. It was because of this that a jeepload of cops landed up at the bar. By then Manu Sharma and his friends had left F bar and moved to the exclusive LAP bar in the adjacent Samrat hotel, which is owned by Mumbai film actor and model Arjun Rampal. By the time the police reached LAP, Manu had escaped. The police picked up Dhingra, and it was only on going through the CCTV video coverage that it could be confirmed that the person accompanying Dhingra was none other than the high profile Manu Sharma who, most people assumed, should have been in jail. It was only then that it came to light that he had not only been granted parole, it had even been extended, while he had been out there partying at various nightclubs and bars, not only in Chandigarh, where he was supposed to be for the period of his parole, but also in Delhi. Observers also point out how thee is nothing new in the subversion of justice in Manu Sharmas case, as the powers that be had almost ensured his acquittal in the Jessica Lal murder case, which got re-opened because of an unprecedented media and public campaign.

CAN JUDGEMENT BE MANIPULATED IN INDIAN COURTS OF JUSTICE ? WHY NOT PRISON SENTENCE FOR GUILTY SUPREME COURT ADVOCATES ?

New Delhi, August 21 The Delhi High Court imposed a four-month ban on senior advocate R K Anand and colleague I U Khan on Thursday for interfering with judicial proceedings in the highprofile BMW hit-and- run case. A fine of Rs 2,000 was levied as well. On May 30, 2007, television channel NDTV caught both lawyers in a sting operation, conniving with key prosecution witness Suniel Kulkarni to get main accused Sanjeev Nanda off the hook. A High Court Bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Manmohan Sarin found the two guilty of criminal contempt. The entire material leaves a bitter taste in the mouth about the goings-on in the BMW case. There is no manner of doubt whatsoever that there was complicity between Mr Khan and Mr Anand There can be absolutely no doubt that Mr Khan and Mr Anand were, somehow or the other, more than mixed up in the BMW case, observed the court, which had taken suo motu cognizance of the expose the day after it was aired. Mr Anand and Mr Khan are prohibited from appearing in this court (Delhi High Court) or courts subordinate to it for four months from today. However, they are free to discharge their professional duties in terms of consultation, advice, conferences, opinions, etc, said the Bench. The court desisted from commenting on the conduct of Kulkarni, saying it would not be proper to do so. Though the verdict comes solely on basis of the CDs and transcripts of the sting operation, the Bench said, the unshakeable truth is that Mr Anand is guilty of criminal contempt of court. Contemplating a fit punishment, the Bench wondered how many in the legal fraternity had had been taken by surprise to find Anand indulging in such sharp practices. Mr Anand has held many prestigious elective positions in the legal fraternity, including the Bar Council of Delhi. He has also been a Member of the Rajya Sabha, noted the Bench. The court said it knew Khan for his legal acumen and forensic skills perhaps the reason why he was appointed Special Public Prosecutor in the BMW case. High expectations over Khan fell apart when his conduct betrayed the trust that prosecution reposed in him what he did was perhaps beyond the realm of contemplation of the prosecuting agency. Chastising the two for their misconduct, the Bench said: We are not dealing with a young lawyer who, driven by ambition and desire transgresses the limits or unwittingly or unknowingly commits criminal contempt. We are dealing with senior advocates, who are expected to conduct themselves as gentlemen and role models for younger members of the Bar. The court forwarded a recommendation that the two be stripped of their designations as senior advocates. The High Court Registrar General will put up the courts recommendation before Chief Justice AP Shah within a month. In response to the verdict, the Delhi Bar Association president, advocate Rajiv Khosla, said about 20,000 lawyers from district courts were going on strike on August 22 in protest.

R K Anand Began legal career in Delhis Tis Hazari Court as a civil lawyer in 1967. Appointed government counsel in 1976. In 2000, JMM nominated him to Rajya Sabha from Jharkhand. Appointed AICC observer for Assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh in February 2003. High-profile cases: * In 1980, represented the late Indira Gandhi in a property litigation filed by Maneka Gandhi after Sanjay Gandhis death * Narasimha Rao in the JMM bribery and the St Kitts case * Chandraswami in the FERA violation case * H K L Bhagat in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case * Former external affairs minister Natwar Singhs son Jagat Singh in the murder/suicide of his wife Natasha Singh I U Khan One of the top five criminal lawyers in Capital. He was charging a fee of only Re 1 in the BMW case. Began his career in late 1960s, and came into spotlight in 1980s. * Defended Sushil Sharma in the tandoor murder case, Subash Gupta in the Personal Point triple murder, former Youth Congress President Romesh Sharma in several cases and Tony Gill in Jessica Lall murdercase When prosecution & defence lawyer together team up along with corrupt police / public servants and manipulate evidences / records , the court is helpless and will acquit the accussed for lack of evidences eventhough the presiding judge is of impeccable integrity , honesty , he is help less. Add to this , if the presiding judge happens to be corrupt & teams up with the criminal nexus , the result is devastating , the rich criminal will get away & the innocent will suffer punishment in some cases even death sentence. Who will bell these few corrupt among the judiciary , bar , police & public service ? why not prison sentence for two leading advocates on criminal charges of contempt of court , destruction of evidences ? are they above law ? why favouritism by court to the guilty in awarding punishment to guilty two advocates as they happen to be political influential ? will the court let a common man so leniently for the same charges ? In the past cases dealt by these corrupt duo advocates , there are possibilities that the same tactics of manipulation of evidences , prosecution is done to win the cases , to free the rich criminals , why not review of the cases dealt by these corrupt advocates ? The honest few among judiciary , bar , police & public service must uphold our constitution , rule of law & bring to book their corrupt colleagues.

CASH FOR JUDGEMENT

Chandigarh, August 22: Punjab and Haryana High Court Judge Nirmal Yadav who has gone on leave after her name is said to have figured in the statements of the main accused in the case involving the delivery of cash at another High Court Judges house, said today that she was a

involving the delivery of cash at another High Court Judges house, said today that she was a victim of a vilification campaign. Speaking to The Indian Express at her Sector 24 residence here today, Justice Yadav said that some influential persons were trying to shift the focus on her to save the real accused. Justice Yadav denied that former Haryana Additional Advocate General Sanjeev Bansal had talked to her on phone on August 13 when Bansals clerk mistakenly delivered a bag containing Rs 15 lakh to the residence of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur, another sitting Judge of the High Court. Let any agency prove that I talked to Sanjeev Bansal on phone either on that day or any day in the past one month, Justice Yadav said. I am ready to face all consequences if this allegation is found true. I have had no dealings with Bansal. I have not received any money from Bansal or any of his associates. I am sure I will get justice. Justice Yadav said she had explained her position to High Court Chief Justice T S Thakur and had proceeded on leave. She said she would not hear any case until her name is cleared. Sources close to her said that during her meeting with Justice Thakur yesterday evening, in which some other senior judges were also present, Justice Yadav offered to proceed on leave to maintain the highest traditions of Indian judiciary. Justice Thakur told The Indian Express that he had not asked Justice Yadav to proceed on leave and that it was her own decision. It is learnt that in her meeting with Justice Thakur, Yadav vehemently denied any role in the entire role. While acknowledging that she and some other members of her family had bought a plot of 11.1 bighas of land (see accompanying story) at village Rihun Pargana near Kumharhatti in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh on August 14, Yadav is learnt to have denied that the money for purchasing the land came from Bansal or Ravinder Singh, the Delhi businessman, who is also named in the case. Cant a judge buy legal property? Let the police or any other investigating agency prove that the money for the deal was provided by Bansal or Singh, she is learnt to have told the Chief Justice. But she is learnt to have acknowledged, in her meeting with the Chief Justcie, that she knew Ravinder Singh. She is learnt to have said that she came to know him through some other judges. Meanwhile, highly placed sources in the High Court confirmed that Chief Justice Thakur is awaiting the return of Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan from Brazil to apprise him of the developments in the case. The Chief Justice is learnt to have asked the administrative committee, comprising senior judges, to monitor the case on a daily basis. The Rs 15-lakh delivery: Story So Far August 13: Parkash Ram, an assistant to Haryanas Additional Advocate General Sanjeev Bansal, delivers a parcel containing Rs 15 lakh at the residence of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Justice Kaur calls the police. Rajeev Gupta, Bansals friend and a property dealer, tells the police that the money reached there by mistake and it was meant for Nirmal Singh, another property dealer. Chandigarh Police decline to hand over the cash. Bansal is questioned August 16: A case is registered against Bansal, Parkash Ram and Delhi- based hotelier Ravinder Singh who allegedly organised the money Bansal resigns as Addl AG and surrenders on August 19 August 21: Rajeev Gupta, the property dealer who claimed the money was meant for Nirmal Singh, is arrested. The Inspector General of Police sends a report to the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court. The report says that the money was meant for another judge.

Caught in controversy is Solan plot that judge, 16 others purchased

CHANDIGARH, SOLAN, August 22: On August 14, according to revenue records, a plot measuring 11.1 bighas in Solan was purchased by Justice Nirmal Yadav and others for Rs 5, 52, 500. Details of the transaction, obtained by The Indian Express, show that the land was purchased by her and 16 others from six persons, all residents of village Rihun Pargana, near Kumharhatti in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. This purchase is said to have figured in the meeting between Justice Yadav and the High Court Chief Justice yesterday. Justice Yadav is said to have told the Chief Justice: Cant a judge buy legal property? Let the police or any other investigating agency prove that the money for the deal was provided by (Sanjeev) Bansal or Ravinder Singh. The purchasers and sellers obtained permission from the Himachal Pradesh Government under Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy Act. Solan Naib Tehsildar N S Chauhan has confirmed on record that that the deal had been registered as per the details we have. The land was sold by residents of village including Baldev; Narinder Kumar; Surinder Kumar; Rajinder Kumar; Bimla Devi and Amar Singh.

Three booked in judge bribery case

Haryana Addl Advocate General among booked Chandigarh, August 16: Three persons, including Additional Advocate General of Haryana Sanjeev Bansal, were on Saturday booked for an attempt to bribe a Punjab and Haryana High Court Judge. The other two are Bansals munshi Parkash, who had carried Rs 15 lakh to the residence of High Court judge Nirmaljit Kaur on Wednesday night, and Ravinder Singh, a Delhi-based businessman who has a hotel in Karol Bagh. The munshi was taken into custody while a police party has been despatched to Delhi to nab Singh. Assistant Superintendent of Police Madhur Verma said the amount was supposed to be handed over to some other public servant but was mistakenly delivered at Kaurs house. An FIR was lodged after Kaur complained to the police. She also reported the matter to the Chief Justice. Police said Singh had allegedly paid Bansal a huge amount to get settled a criminal case pending in the High Court. The case is due to come up for hearing on Wednesday. Earlier, Singh had claimed the amount was pertaining to a property deal he had struck with a resident of Panchkula. The money was supposed to be delivered to one Nirmal Singh and was mistakenly delivered at the judges house. Verma, however, said the preliminary investigation had ruled out the possibility of the amount being related to any property deal. Bansal failed to give a detailed account of the cash. He produced some papers pertaining to some property in Panchkula but that did not carry any weight. Our investigations caught him on the wrong foot and, therefore, we booked him along with two others under the Prevention of Corruption Act and criminal conspiracy, he added. Bansal has been handling several high-profile cases. He is one of the dozen-odd Additional Advocate Generals appointed by the Haryana Government about two years ago.

Corrupt judge in Allahabad High Court by Rajeev

If the Judges go corrupt, then it is GOD who will give one justice when one go to heaven or hell. It is a Irony that I filed a complaint against a District and Session Judge who later promoted to High Court of Allahabad. I wish the God will serve HIS justice to Honble Justice Umeshware Pandey, now enjoying at High Court and selling (Mis)Justice at Rs 100000 per page!! Here I am elaborating what had happened. In 1994, two people name Parashram Agarwal and Mohan Lal Agarwal wanted to grab my fathers property and in March 1994 they beat him and pulled his legs( just imagine the pain) making him handicapped for life. Then in court those guys were merely sentenced for 6 months in Jail, but they did not went for the jail for single day or hour and appealed to Sessions Court and then the corrupt Judge Umeshwar Pandey took the bribe of Rs 200000 in Criminal Revision number 13/2000 from Parashram Agarwal and Mohan Lal. It is a shame on Umeshwar Pandey that he cannot see a Handicapped man suffering for last 9 years and even then not given the justice. Umeshwar Pandey has taken this bribe via his Steno name some G. D. Gupta. It is the habit of Parashram and MohanLal to record the conversation while giving bribes on hidden audio recorder and the same cassette can be recovered if the authority try. It is been 8 months since I have informed various authorities by registered letters and phone calls from USA for no action till date.

I have spoken to Mr Jagmohan Paliwal who was posted as Vigilance Officer for no action till date and the recording attached is from Sept 2002. Similarly I have spoken with Mr. K. S. Rakhra who was posted as Registrar General but no action till date, and the recoding shown is from Sept 2002 too. Even CBI has forwarded my letter to Registrar General, but no action is taken on that one too.

I have emaild my plea to few High court Judges too for no response. I just hope GOD is there who will give some justice. But the corrupt Judges should stop imitating as GOD they are devil actually. The only solution can be people make a limit. How much money a person needs. I often think about a story that a saint refused to take the food as he already got the food for today and he do not want to collect for tomorrow. But I dont know why people want to generate money for 7 generations. If a careful analysis and investigation is done Umeshwar Pamdey has Black money worth 3 generations. I guess instead of Lakhs and Carore now corruption should be measured in generations.

Education is important. People need to understand the meaning of freedom truly. IF I say boldly India is still not free. People have mentality that they need to pay to Government officials for work. This mentality has to be removed.

Thanks Rajeev

HC suspends judge over corruption complaints

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat High Court has suspended a fast track court judge in Rajpipla after receiving several complaints of corruption and favouritism against her. Rajpipla fast track court Judge DL Desai was suspended on Thursday evening after a primary inquiry held by the courts vigilance department said that the complaints against her had substance. Further inquiry against her will be conducted by the department. Besides the complaint of favouritism in Rajpipla, where she was presently posted, the Desai was also accused of similar charges and issuing certificates without proper verification in Bharuch, where the she was discharging her duty as a principal district judge, the High Court authorities said.

The HC administration seems to be seriously taking the issue of corruption prevailing in Gujarats judiciary, as Desais is the fourth suspension in last three months. Earlier in May, a judge in Surats court, AN Vinjhola was suspended after similar complaints against him. The court administration also found him in possession of property out of proportion considering his known sources of income. Last month, two judges were suspended on charges of corruption. The Ahmedabad city civil Judge NM Thakor and KV Kakkad were also suspended by the HC after holding preliminary inquiry into complaints against them. All the four suspended judges are now facing departmental inquiry.

FOREIGN TOURS OF INDIAN JUDGES AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE

New Delhi: CNN-IBNs exclusive report on some judges using official trips to holiday, has sparked off the debate should judges be above the purview of the Right to Information (RTI) Act? RTI activists say there is every reason why the RTI Act should apply to the higher judiciary as well. Questions are now being asked in South Block, too, following the expose on Supreme Court judges. Records obtained under the RTI shows judges have been converting work trips to holidays, taking long detours and are accompanied by their wives while traveling abroad. At present there are no travel guidelines for the judiciary and the Bar Council of India is suggesting a course correction. I think the judges must pay or should pay the amount to the government, Bar Council of India Chairman SNP Sinha said in Patna on Wednesday. Under the RTI, CNN-IBN found that for Chief Justice KG Balakrishnans 11-day trip to Pretoria, South Africa in August 2007 the route was Delhi, Dubai, Johannesburg, Nelspruit, Capetown, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, where the judge finally didnt go and back to Delhi via Dubai. Former chief justice YK Sabharwal attended three conferences in 2005 to Edinburgh, Washington and Paris. While the conferences lasted 11 days, Sabharwal was out for 38 days with 21 days converted into a private visit. The travel plan included a detour from Washington to Baltimore, Orlando and Atlanta, before rejoining the conference route in Paris. The First Class air fare for Sabharwals entire trip was paid by the government. Activists are now renewing the debate on the RTI act applying to judges as well RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal said: It only underscores why the RTI needs to be applied to judges and judiciary. Just like Caesars wife should be above suspicion, RTI activists are demanding that SC judges too should be seen to be accountable.

IB confirms Mysore sex scandal

The Intelligence Bureau has provided the Centre with a detailed account of the escapade involving three Karnataka High Court judges on November 3 in a resort on the outskirts of Mysore, highly placed sources told The Times of India on Friday. According to a senior official, Most of the information sought has not only confirmed the veracity of the incident but the government has crosschecked it with another police agency. Both the reports match. The incident was widely reported in the media. What has surprised the Centre is the dogged refusal of the Karnataka police to confirm the incident. Mysore Police Commissioner C. Chandrasekhar first denied that the incident ever took place. Only when a public notice was issued through the high court registrar seeking information on the Mysore scandal, did the facts come out in the open. Public protest helped a lot, says the source. What transpired at the resort, says the source, cannot be expected from anyone in civil society, leave alone persons sworn to upholding the law. According to him, The IB report consists of unmentionable facts and also makes it amply clear that the Mysore incident is not the first time such things have happened. Can anyone expect upholders of the law to pick a fight with people who complained to the police when caught in a compromising position? In a related development, Karnataka High Court Chief Justice N.K. Jain has written to Chief Justice of India Justice G.B. Pattanaik asking that three judges be transferred. Jain has proposed that Justice N.S. Veerabhadraiah be transferred to the Patna High Court, Justice Chandrasekharaiah to Jammu & Kashmir and Justice V. Gopala Gowda to the Gauhati High Court. While Jain is understood not to have given any reasons, highly placed sources say the proposal for transfers is linked to the Mysore incident. However, the source says that now the government is worried about the appropriate remedial measures. In such cases, transferring a judge to a remote high court doesnt always work. He says, Bar associations and the people of northeastern states were up in arms when some judges of the Punjab and Haryana high courts were transferred there. We expect similar protests if the CJI accepts Justice Jains proposal to transfer the three judges of the Karnataka High Court. The Bar Council of India on Friday, while expressing its anguish at the Karnataka incident, called for follow-up action. Unless prompt and appropriate action is taken, it will erode the faith of public in the only institution considered to be the bastion of our fighting faith in democracy, it said in a statement. The BCI has lamented inaction in this case by the higher judiciary and the government.

CJ suspends copycat judges, wants report

Watch : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWb_GUB_TZE Hyderabad/Warangal, Aug. 25: The Andhra Pradesh High Court Chief Justice, Mr Nisar Ahmad Kakru, on Wednesday suspended five subordinate judges for allegedly indulging in copying during the LLM exams held at Kakatiya University in Warangal district on Tuesday.

The Chief Justice reviewed the situation after obtaining the preliminary report from the university authorities and issued orders suspending them from the service. He also asked the university to send a detailed report on the exam malpractice by the judges. Meanwhile, the Warangal District Bar Association (WDBA) has demanded registration of cases under the AP Public Examination (Prevention of Malpractices & Unfair Means) Act, 1997, against the errant judges. It was unbecoming of the judges to indulge in mass copying, said Mr Ch Sambasiva Raju, vice-president, WDBA. The WDBA office bearers also demanded suspension of Mr Razak Uzama, II Sub-Judge, Warangal and his wife Ms Prema Rajeshwara, secretary, district legal services authority, Warangal, both of who appeared in the LLM exam. Reportedly, it was Mr Razak who encouraged the mass copying. However, he and his wife were spared. Meanwhile, Dr Talapalli Manohar, additional controller of examination, SDLCE, clarified that the flying squad had actually debarred only three judges Mr M. Kistappa, Mr Vijayender Reddy and Mr Ajitsimha Rao. Sources said the other two judges, Mr Hanumantha Rao and Mr Srinivasa Chary were caught based on visual evidence.

Magistrate issues arrest warrant against Indian president after cash bribe.

An Indian magistrate who allegedly accepted a bribe to issue arrest warrants against Indias president and senior legal figures has been trapped in a sting operation by a journalist, a report said. The journalist videotaped magistrate Meghani Nagar, who practices in Ahmedabad, commercial capital of Gujarat state, accepting a bribe of 40,000 rupees (851 dollars) to issue the arrest warrants, the Times of India newspaper said Thursday. Among those cited in the warrants for criminal breach of trust and for cheating and dishonesty are Indian President Abdul Kalam and Chief Justice V.N. Khare, a senior judge and a well-known

Indian president arrest warrant probe

Indias Supreme Court has ordered an investigation into how an arrest warrant was issued against the countrys president and its top judges. A shocked Chief Justice VN Khare asked Indias top police body, the Central Bureau of Investigation, to report its findings in a week. President Abdul Kalam, two Supreme Court judges including Chief Justice Khare himself and the president of Indias bar association were issued with the warrants after a case of fraud was filed against them. An Indian television journalist has told the court he secretly filmed a magistrate accepting 40,000 rupees ($883) to issue the warrants. The magistrate apparently had not realised who they were, newspaper reports said on Thursday. He has now been suspended from his duties. Court request Journalist Vijay Shekhar has handed over to the court videotapes of the incident, which took place in the state of Gujarat. The court has issued notices to the magistrate and the lawyers who filed the case, asking them for their version of the events, the Press Trust of India reports. What is happening in Gujarat? By giving 40,000 rupees you can get a judicial order, Chief Justice Khare is reported as saying. If this is the state of affairs only God knows what will happen to the country, he added. Mr Shekhar said he carried out the sting operation to expose corruption in Indias judiciary. In 2001 India was hit by an arms scandal after a website secretly filmed senior military and defence officials apparently accepting cash from journalists posing as arms dealers.

Lokayukta: DC demanded sex from widow

In the midst of a national outrage over former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore molesting a teenager, the Karnataka Lokayukta on Saturday made a startling revelation that the state government was shielding a top bureaucrat who had demanded sexual favours from a young widow. Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde disclosed that the official concerned, who was the deputy commissioner of one of the districts when he demanded sex from the widow in return for discharging his duties as public servant, has since been promoted to a senior position. Justice Hegde, in the course of an interaction with journalists at the Deccan Herald office Saturday afternoon, said the unnamed widow had dared the deputy commissioner and approached the Lokayuktas office with a complaint against the officer. On examination of the complaint, the Lokayukta had found sufficient grounds to recommend to the state government the suspension and prosecution of the DC concerned. The recommendation was subsequently considered by the concerned department head as well as the chief secretary and both endorsed it. But, according to Justice Hegde, no action was initiated against the DC as the same official who had endorsed the recommendation subsequently found no basis for initiating departmental action against him. Instead, the official cleared the DCs name for promotion in the super-scale. Presently, the official holds a senior position in the government. The widow, in her late 20s, had approached the DC with a representation to sort out some problems. But she was shocked when the DC demanded sex. Justice Hegde did not identify the official in question or the complainant. Nor did he offer to name the district where the official was serving as deputy commissioner. But the incident has happened sometime in the course of last three years as Justice Hegde took over as the Lokayukta in mid-2006.

3-year jail term for dirty judge

Family court judge Ramrao Gangaram Bhise attempted to get sexual favours from a housewife in 1997 Family court judge Ramrao Gangaram Bhises attempts to extract sexual favours, in addition to a bribe, from a housewife, Alka Gaikwad who had sought an increase in her monthly maintenance allowance from her estranged husband, in 1997 proved costly to him. Pronouncing him guilty on both counts, the special court hearing anti-corruption bureau (ACB) matters sentenced him to three years rigorous imprisonment and a collective fine of Rs55, 000, on Monday. According to the FIR in the case registered against Bhise by the ACB, Suryakant Gaikwad had filed for divorce from his wife, Alka, before the Bandra family court. Alka, a housewife, in turn, filed a petition seeking mutual cohabitation with her husband. The then family court judge, Meera Khadakkar, directed the husband to pay her an interim maintenance allowance of Rs750 per month. Subsequently, in January 1997, Alka filed another application before the same family court (now presided over by Bhise) seeking to increase the monthly maintenance amount to Rs3,500. On October 27, 1997, Bhise issued an interim order, increasing the maintenance allowance to Rs2,000 to be paid by Suryakan to his estranged wife till the disposal of the case. Immediately after issuing the order, Bhise asked Alka to meet him and gave her his residential telephone number, asking her to call him when the court hours ended. He told her that he would ask her husband to pay her a lump sum of Rs2 lakh in addition to the monthly maintenance, provided she called him up, the FIR states. When she called up the judge at 7 pm the same day, Bhise told her that she would have to pay him a sum of Rs2,000 in addition to granting his sexual favours if she wanted an order in her favour. He also directed her to meet him at the Haji Ali bus stop with the bribe amount the following evening. Alka approached the ACB, which sought permission from the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court before laying a trap on the first class judicial magistrate (Bhise). The HC while granting the permission designated a court official to bear witness to the events leading to the trap. Alka, under video camera surveillance of ACB sleuths, along with the court official and other women witnesses met Bhise at 8.30 pm at the Haji Ali bus stop. Bhise took hold of Alkas wrist and when she protested, repeated his demands, the FIR states. Alka was then taken to a nearby hotel, Sharda, where the judge accepted the bribe amount. But before he could do anything else, ACB sleuths swooped in and arrested him.

Rajasthan judge is indicted for seeking sexual favours

Chief Justice of India G B Pattanaik retires tonight and he doesnt have much to write home about on the unprecedented drive he launched to enforce judicial accountability. After the PPSC scam fiasco, reported in The Indian Express today, comes the case of the Rajasthan judge who has been indicted in a sex scandal and yet has escaped actionpending another inquiry. On December 14, a three-judge committee set up by Pattanaik confirmed the involvement of Justice Arun Madan of the Rajasthan High Court in a proposition to a woman doctor to have sex with him in exchange for a judicial favour. The committee, headed by the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Justice B K Roy, submitted its report to Pattanaik, indicting Madan on a complaint made from Jodhpur by the woman concerned, Sunita Malviya.

But Pattanaik has not announced any action against Madan. When contacted by The Indian Express, Pattanaik confirmed that the committee had indicted Madan and his bad reputation in seeking sexual favours in return for judicial ones. However, Pattanaik said that no action was being taken since the committee had also mentioned allegations of corruption against Madan. And so he had ordered a further inquiry by the same committee into the corruption charges. When asked what he did with the indictment of Madan in the sex scandal, Pattanaik said, That is on hold because I could not have taken piecemeal action against him.I am praying to God that the final report will give some tangible material to take action. Highly placed sources told The Indian Express that when the committee recorded statements last week in Jodhpur of about 30 persons over four days, it also came to know of several allegations of corruption against Madan and another judge of the same high court. The committee put these on record as well. Pattanaik said that when he summoned Madan to New Delhi last week, he did not raise the sex scandal issue and instead limited himself to saying that he was ordering a further inquiry into corruption allegations. In effect, Pattanaik has now passed the Rajasthan buck to his successor Justice V N Khare. The gist of Malviyas complaint is that Madan made a sexual proposition to her in October through a deputy registrar of the high court, Govind Kalwani, who said that the judge would help her, in turn, get out of a criminal case booked against her. With this, Pattanaiks much-touted in-house judicial accountability seems to have hit a wall. The first committees report into the PPSC scam exonerated one judge despite evidence and let two others off with a mere slap on the wrist. The third committee is now busy probing the involvement of judges in the Mysore sex scam.

Bangalore jail warden supplies drugs to inmates, held

Bangalore: Bangalore Central Jail Chief Warden B Jyothiyamma has been caught supplying marijuana, SIM cards and liquor to inmates. Jyothiyamma has guarded prisoners for over 15 years but it turns out that her priorities lay in supplying them with the luxuries of outside world, some of them illegal. An embarrassed state police is now promising action against Jyothiyamma. "We have registered a case under 20 (B) NOPS Act. Under this section the accused if found guilty can be punished unto 10 years imprisonment and fined up to Rs 1 lakh," says DCP South East BNS Reddy.

Jyothiyamma's lucrative business came to light after another warden Dilip Kumar caught her supplying a kilo of marijuana and SIM cards to a prisoner. Police are now investigating how long she has been running the drug supply business. "We have to find out from where she collected the drugs and to whom she was giving it to. We have also informed the jail authorities about the usage of mobile phones and it would be better if in the prison the inmates could be frisked," says Reddy. Last year the city police had busted a chain snatching gang operating inside the jail, which was coordinating its operations through cell phones.

Jyothiyamma's arrest shows that the effort to crackdown on contraband in jail seems to have had little effect.

JUDGE SENDING OBSCENE SMS TO WOMEN

Lucknow Taking cognisance of the allegation against a civil Judge (junior division) of Budaun court that he sent obscene SMSes to a woman lecturer, the Registrar General of Allahabad High Court today sought a report from the district judge into the matter.

The civil judge of Gunnor sub-division court of Budaun Pramod Kumar Gangwar was accused of sending obscene SMSes from his cellphone to a woman lecturer of Classic College of Law, Bareilly. A lecturer of the same college, Vivek Gupta, was named in the FIR lodged by the victim while Gangwars name surfaced in the primary investigation. Registrar General Dinesh Gupta said, The district judge of Budaun has been asked to send a detailed report into the allegations. Appropriate action would be taken on the basis of the report. District Judge Suresh Kumar Srivastava said, I have asked the Bareilly district police to send a report about the matter. The report on the basis of the police inquiry would be sent to the Allahabad High Court Registrar General. I am not aware about the matter, as the Bareilly police did not intimate me before initiating the probe against the civil judge. They should have informed me when they had received any such complaint, the judge added. Meanwhile, Bareilly CO II Raj Kumar, who is investigating the case, today recorded the statement of the victim. I have collected the call details of the cellphone used for sending the SMSes, but I have yet to get the address of the person who is subscriber of the SIM card, he said. The probe is on to verify if the accused in the case were present on the location recorded in the call details when the SMSes were sent. The details of the findings of the investigation would be sent to the Budaun district court to seek the direction, the CO added. Asked if the investigation was earlier conducted into the matter, Raj Kumar said, The SP (Crime) had initiated probe into the matter, but I am not aware if the investigation had reached to any conclusion. The woman lecturer had lodged an FIR at the Mahila police station on Thursday alleging she had received obscene SMSes on her cellphone involving her colleague Vivek Gupta. The preliminary inquiry into the case by the police yesterday had found that the mobile phone used in the crime belongs to the civil judge. Mumbai police chief recommends suspension of DCP, ACP

Mumbai Five police personnel, including an IPS officer, who allegedly attended a Christmas-eve party thrown by the Chota Rajan gang, face suspension. The suspension of DCP V N Salve, an IPS officer, and ACP Prakash Wani, and three other police personnel, has been recommended by Mumbai Police Commissioner D Sivanandan on Saturday. The Maharashtra government had on Friday ordered an inquiry into allegations that besides Salve and Wani, senior police inspector Tulsidas Khakkad, a police inspector of anti-extortion cell and a constable from Chembur police station had attended the party. "I have recommended to the state government to initiate disciplinary action against the five policemen and suspend them pending inquiry," Sivanandan said. He said there were "CCTV footages and photographs which may prove" that the officials were present at the party held at a private gymkhana in suburban Chembur. The party was reportedly organised to celebrate the release of some top-ranking members of the gang. Among them were dreaded D K Rao, who was released from jail after 13 years of imprisonment, Farid Tanasha and Sunil Poddar. Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil had on Friday ordered the inquiry after photographs and grainy video footage purportedly showing them were aired on TV channels.

and grainy video footage purportedly showing them were aired on TV channels. Meanwhile, Wani vehemently denied the accusation, claiming the video clippings and photographs were doctored. "This is a conspiracy against me. I am a member of the gymkhana and had gone there with my wife for dinner and not to party with any gang members," he said. The party was reportedly thrown by Paulson Joseph, a close aide of Chota Rajan, who is said to be looking after the underworld don's business interests in Mumbai's suburbs. Sources at the gymkhana said Joseph was a member of the upmarket club, which charges a membership fee of Rs five lakh, and used to go there regularly to play cards and party. Speaking strictly on condition of anonymity, they said that a member could bring along any number of guests after paying Rs 30 for each of them. "So many people visit the club on the Christmas-eve and it is not possible to ascertain the identity of each one of them," they said, when asked if they had spotted any police officer at Joseph's bash.

Rajasthan launches search for former DIG charged with rape

JAIPUR: The Rajasthan government has asked the Special Operations Group (SOG) to find former deputy inspector general (DIG) Madhukar Tandon who has been absconding for the last 13 years after he was chargesheeted for raping a tribal woman. "We have handed over the case to the SOG of the Rajasthan Police. It's a serious matter that Tandon not been arrested since 1997. We want to arrest him and find out why he's not been arrested so far," state Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal told reporters here. A Rajasthan Police party arrived in Noida in Uttar Pradesh Wednesday to investigate the matter and visited the property that earlier belonged to Tandon. Dhariwal has also sought all the files relating to the case. "I have asked the police to bring all the files relating to Tandon to me... I want to know the details," he said. Malli Devi, a resident of Bandikui in Dausa district has alleged that on Jan 21, 1997 she was abducted and taken to Noida where she was allegedly raped by former DIG Tandon, then posted in the police headquarters and who is now reported to be absconding. Khayali Ram, the husband of the victim who was a constable attached to the DIG said: "It has been 13 years that he ruined me and my family." "Tandon had summoned my wife to Jaipur from the village on the pretext that an accident has happened in my family. When she arrived in Jaipur she was forcefully taken to Noida, to the DIG's residence, where she was victimised," said Ram. "I was forced out of the service when I refused to withdraw the case against Tandon in 2000," he added. Tandon was suspended in 2002, five years after first FIR was lodged against him and a magisterial court in Dausa had ordered all his property including his house in Noida to be attached.

Gopalagowda & Chandrashekaraiah .STATUS: The three-judge inquiry committee appointed by the CJI filed its report. Gave clean chit. March 2003 - Delhi High Court Judge resigns: Suspected of collusion with Property Developers. Raids by CBI on corrupt higher officials in Delhi Development Authority (DDA), found Draft Judgement-N-Court Records ________________________________________ E(I)nquiry-in-camera or In-House Inquiry was & is contrary to Law . Is ultra vires Article 14 of Constitution of India: " The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India" Following Questions / Issues, inter alia , arise ( a ) Enquiry in-camera was held contrary to the observations made by, Constituent Assembly of India in 1949. In its' Impeachment Order had held thus:"While we are alive to the desirability, in the interests of the public, of investigating charges against a Judge in open court, we held the Enquiry in-camera in view of the allegation made in the affidavits and the circumstances of the case. This mode of proceeding should not, however, be regarded as a precedent." [008.07 ]. ( b) In the case of similar In-House Inquiry held under the Orders of Chief Justice of India in Jusice V. Ramaswami's case , Justice Ramaswami had held that " Inquiring Committee" as well as " Inquiry" have no basis & force of law. It is reflected in the Report , which was read-out by CJI to Advocates & publicised , submitted by 3 Judges Committee thus" Indeed Justice Ramaswami had made it clear to the Chief Justice that he did not recognise any such Jurisdiction in any body or authority." (c) It will not be out-of place to mention here that Two of "Three Judges Committee " appointed by CJI in Re. V. Ramaswami's case are alleged to be involved in Judges Plot 4 Plot.[014.00]. It is like Criminal investigating another criminal . ( d ) If so how sure can we be that " 3 Judges Committee " appointed to invetigate " 3 Judges Mysore Sex Scandal " were un-biased or were above Board & have presented an accurate Report ? Queries to Supreme Court , Parliament of India & Central Government In Re. Judges' Mysore Sex Scandal ( a)" Will the Supreme Court Publicise Report of " 3 Judges Committee " ( all & sundry material); morefully to know whether any evidence adduced by many in support of Scam is informed to CJI & Supreme Court ? (b) What is the Guarantee that despite prima facie evidence Judges of Supreme Court which consists of Few corrupt Judges seved in Karnataka are not inclined to take stern action ? (c) Investigation of a Crime comitted by Minister or anyone lies within Executive Domain like the case Justice K.Veeraswami, in this case CBI . Is it not a case of hushing-up & messing-up of " 3 Pillars of Constitution " ?. (d) How long will you try keeping suppressed Crimes of Judges of Supreme Court & High Courts when Union Law Minister Mr. P. Shiva Shankar , on 28th Nov.1987 said " Supreme Court is filled with FERA violators & Bride Burners" ( AIR 1988 SC 1208 ). When Chief Justice Of India Justice E.S. Venkataramaiaha admits that "in every High Court there are 3-4 Judges who are out every evening to Party in Foreign Embassiies or at Advocates' placesdrinkdine" (1990 Cr LJ 2179 ) [041.09]. (e) 20% of Judges are corrupt , indirectly said Chief Justice of India Mr. Justice S.P. Bharucha , in other words admitted that 80% of Judges of India are not corrupt & are above board to be bribed or influnced ? Then why cases are not filed against 20% of Judges ?

There is a higher court than the court of justice and that is the court of conscience It super cedes all other courts. Mahatma Gandhi

just think , if a judge himself that too apex court of the land itself commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public and obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what happens ?

it gives a booster dose to the rich & mighty , those in power , criminals in public service to commit more crimes. that is exactly what is happening in india. the educated public must raise to the occasion & peacefully , democratically must oppose this criminalization of judiciary , public service. then alone , we can build a RAM RAJYA OF MAHATMA GANDHI'S DREAM.

I dont know whether secretariat staff of CJI office & DARPG / DPG officials are forwarding my appeals for justice , e-mails to you or not. They will be held accountable for their lapses if any. This notice is against the repeated failure of constitutional duties & indirect collusion with criminals by previous CHIEF JUSTICEs OF INDIA. Notice is served against them , to the office of CJI , NOT personally against you. At the individual level I do whole heartedly respect honourable justice Sathasivam CJI. Please refer my appeal for justice through DARPG ; DLGLA/E/2013/00292 DEPOJ/E/2013/00679

In india democracy is a farce , freedom a mirage. the most basic freedom RIGHT TO INFORMATION & EXPRESSION , is not honoured by the government,as the information opens up the crimes of V.V.I.Ps & leads to their ill-gotten wealth. The public servants are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them. these type of fat cats , parasites are a drain on the public exchequer . these people want ,wish me to see dead , wish to see HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH closed . so that, a voice against injustices is silenced forever , the crimes of V.V.I.Ps closed , buried forever.

To my numerous appeals , HRWs appeals to you ,you have not yet replied. It clearly shows that you are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them .it proves that you are hell bent to protect the criminals at any cost. you are just pressurising the police to enquire me ,to take my statement, to repeatedly call me to police station all with a view to silence me.all of you enjoy legal immunity privileges ,why dont you have given powers to the police / investigating officer to summon all of you for enquiry ?or else why dont all of you are not appearing before the police voluntarily for enquiry ?at the least why dont all of you are not sending your statement about the case to the police either through legal counsel or through post? you are aiding criminals ,by denying me job oppurtunities in R.B.I CURRENCY NOTE PRESS mysore , city civil court ,bangalore , distict court , mysore ,etc & by illegally closing my newspaper. there is a gross, total mismatch between your actions and your oath of office. this amounts to public cheating & moral turpitude on your part. 1.you are making contempt of the very august office you hold. 2.you are making contempt of the constitution of india. 3.you are making contempt of citizens of india. 4.you are sponsoring & aiding terorrism & organized crime. 5.you are violating the fundamental & human rights of the citizens of india and of neighbouring countries. 6.you are violating & making contempt of the U.N HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER to which india is a signatory. 7.you are obstructing me from performing my fundamental duties as a citizen of india. 8. As a result of your gross negligence of constitutional duties you have caused me damages / losses to the tune of RUPEES TWO CRORE ONLY. you are hereby called upon to Pay damages to me and SHOW-CAUSE within 30 days , why you cannt be legally prosecuted for the above mentioned crimes .

If i am repeatedly called to police station or else where for the sake of investigations , the losses i do incurr as a result like loss of wages , transportation , job , etc must be borne by the government. prevoiusly the police / IB personnel repeatedly called me the complainant (sufferer of injustices) to police station for questioning , but never called the guilty culprits even once to police station for questioning , as the culprits are high & mighty . this type of one sided questioning must not be done by police or investigating agencies . if anything untoward happens to me or to my family members like loss of job , meeting with hit & run accidents , loss of lives , etc , the jurisdictional police together with above mentioned accussed public servants will be responsible for it. Even if criminal nexus levels fake charges , police file fake cases against me or my dependents to silence me , this complaint is & will be effective. if anything untoward happens to me or my dependents , the government of india is liable to pay Rs. TWO crore as compensation to survivors of my family. if my whole family is eliminated by the criminal nexus ,then that compensation money must be donated to Indian Army Welfare Fund. afterwards , the money must be recovered by GOI as land arrears from the salary , pension , property , etc of guilty judges , police officials , public servants & Constitutional fuctionaries.

An Appeal to Honourable United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner & Honourable International Court of Justice

Dear Madam / Sir , SUBJECT : HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA , SUPREME COURT OF INDIA & CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION

I have individually suffered numerous human rights violations , injustices by public servants working for government of India when I raised my voice seeking justice for my fellow countrymen . for the society. These public servants are involved in crimes like aiding & abetting terrorism , underworld , manslaughter , etc. when I appealed to the supreme court of India seeking justice , they have turned their blind eye. As a result more injustices are being committed till date. Even the police are not registering the complaint against these guilty public servants. Police & Supreme Court Judges in league with CRIMINALS , ANTI NATIONALS , TERORRISTS ? In India , some Parliamentarians take money for even raising Questions in parliament , favorable laws / government rules are enacted to favor rich criminals (refer 2G & Nira Radia scam). Police for a price manipulate evidence , prematurely close case , fix innocent & mete out 3rd degree torture , murder in the name of encounter . Public prosecutor can change the way of argument , etc for a price. Even judges in India give favorable judicial orders for money , SEX , post retirement benefits , etc. please refer details at following web pages : http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/court-judgements-fixed , http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/3rd-degree-torture-by-indian-police , http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/court-judgements-for-a-price I have not got justice till date , instead I have suffered physical assaults , murder attempts on me , my newspaper was illegally clamped down , my job opportunities were illegally snatched away (cutting off the source of livelihood). I have been threatened by police that I & my family members will be fixed up in criminal cases (false implication) & will be behind the bars for rest of our life. I have been refused proper medical care in government hospitals , so that I will die sooner . All these Injustices are meted out at the hands of criminal nexus of CRIMINAL POLICE JUDGE - BUREAUCRAT MP / MLA . Democracy is the best form of governance. My motherland India is one of the greatest country. However Criminals have entered into halls of parliament , criminals have become judges , criminals have become police , almost total criminalization of public service has taken place. These criminals are framing laws for the masses much against the democratic aspirations of the masses. Criminal judges are relying on these laws made by criminals & sending innocents to gallows . Criminal Police are making deals with criminals & arresting , torturing innocents. Still very few HONEST people are left in public service - Parliament , Judiciary & Police , However they are keeping mum. My struggle is not against the government of India or its constitutional bodies rather it is against the corrupt people who are in those bodies . I do have whole hearted respects for the government of India & its constitutional bodies , But I despise the corrupt people over there in those institutions. Our system is good , many of the people working there are not good. It is struggle against those corrupt people , to save our democracy , to save our freedom. Hereby , I do request your honourableselves Honourable United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner and Honourable International Court Of Justice , to order the Honourable Supreme Court of India , Government of India & CIC to do its constitutional duties properly , to safeguard the human rights of all and to provide justice in the matter. Thanking You. Date : 07.10.2012..Yours Sincerely , Place : Mysore , IndiaNagaraja . M . R .

In India legislations , Parliamentary Acts , policy decisions are fixed (example : telecom policy fixing by neera radia & others) , the court judgement are fixed , arrest warrant by courts are fixed (example : CJI. Ahmadi changing the charge against Bhopal gas co & a judge issuing arrest warrants against then president of India kalam & then CJI) , Police fixing cases , torturing innocents , closing cases by B reports , changing track of investigations , governments servants giving false reports & records , etc. In this back drop , commonman wont get justice in India . Instead if he raises his voice for justice , he is persecuted by the nexus of CRIMINALS POLICE JUDGES PUBLIC SERVANTS. Even the supreme court of India , is not accepting our offer of service to legally book the criminals nor is it registering our PIL nor the Karnataka police are registering our complaint against public servants.

Save Hebbal Lake Save BEML Quarters Lake in Mysore An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court of India

In the past , Mysore Maharaja & other philanthropists have donated their personal lands , properties , built many lakes & ponds in mysore , bangalore and other places with public concern , public wellbeing in their mind . They built these lakes & ponds in addition to preserving the natural lakes & ponds. They knew about the importance of ecological balance & environment. The present rulers , IAS & KAS babus have even failed to preserve the lakes & ponds built decades ago , let alone build one. These Public servants have extended their tacit support to building mafia , to kill these lakes & ponds , to fill those lakes with industrial effluents , sewage & building mud wastes. After killing those lakes & ponds , the building mafia encroaches on it & usurps that public property in turn selling it for crores of rupees.

In this way , Hootagalli lake was killed & encroached by Kaynes Hotel ( now silent shores hotel) , Hebbal Lake is being killed & encroached from all sides by industries and the lake infront of BEML Quarters is being killed & land demarcation for selling those land has already begun.

The public servants were totally indifferent towards public outcry against this . The IAS & KAS babus who are also magistrates with judicial authority have failed in preserving these lakes & ponds inspite of appeals to them. These death of lakes resulting in their encroachments could have been prevented earlier by DC , Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officers. Even I have appealed to them through my web news paper , they didnt take action at all. I have made RTI request to those authorities to give me information regarding status of those lakes years ago , fearing truth will come out they didnt anwer my questions in full , they only gave half truths. When I persisited with my RTI request the Mysore District Magistrate at that time Mr. P.Manivannan repeatedly called me over phone , abused me & threatened me . Even threats were made by some policemen in mufti . Finally that lake land was allotted to an industrially supposed to be close to Industries minister at that time. The courts are dispassionate & inhuman , while passing eviction orders against poor people , the police are full of guts & show their full bravery , valour against these poor land encroachers. Fine , let us appreciate their duty consciousness . However rich & well connected criminals have illegally encroached upon public lands , the same courts and police are not taking appropriate action inspite of repeated appeals , why ? Even the Supreme Court of India & Police are Weak & Meak before Land Mafia. Dont the same Judges & Police have Guts , Bravery , Duty Conciousness & Integrity to take action against such rich land grabbers ? The answer lies in the following articles. Once again we offer our conditional services to Supreme Court of India , to legally apprehend criminals while the respective public servants have failed to do the same.

Hereby , we request the honourable Supreme Court of India , 1. To initiate criminal prosecution against Mysore district magistrate , Mysore taluk magistrate , MUDA Commissioner , Jurisdictional Police Officers & KIADB Officer , for making contempt of Supreme Court of India Order applying throught india to preserve lakes & ponds. 2. 3. To evict all encroachers forth with . To immediately stop all flow of industrial effluents & sewage to these lakes & ponds.

4. To initiate criminal prosecution against encroachers of these lakes & pollters , killers of these lakes. 5. To preserve the said lakes & ponds , by recovering cost from encroachers , polluting industries and the co-conspirators Mysore DC , Mysore Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner , KIADB Officer & Jurisdictional Police Officers. 6. To protect me , my family members & dependents from land mafia & co-conspirators of the crime. 7. To order , to issue Writ of Mandamus to Mysore District Magistrate , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officer to disclose all the information sought by me in my RTI request publicly. The copy of my RTI request is reproduced below.

Criminals in Supreme Court of India ? - An Appeal to Supreme Court of India

To , Justice Sathasivam , Honourable Chief Justice of India , C/o Registrar-General , Supreme Court of India , New Delhi.

Honourable sir , Hereby , we express our whole hearted respects for the honest few public servants in judiciary , politics , police service & other public services.

Judges must become Human Beings first & Respect Human Rights , Human Dignity of others.

Many of the work practices of judges , police & other public servants are illegal leading to crimes. The inaction of supreme court of india inspite of repeated appeals by us , tantamounts to crime cover-ups , a crime in itself. In our appeals , there are cases of judges , police & other public servants committing fraud , cheating , sexcapades , murder , etc. still , if the learned judges of the supreme court of india feels that , no action legal prosecution is called for inferring there is no crime at all , then there is no crime at all on indian soil. So , if a commonman committs the same crime of theft , fraud , sexcapades , etc , he must also be let out as the guilty judges , police , public servants are let out . These guilty public servants are so cunning & cruel that misusing their offices , powers sees to that no one dares to level charges against them , even if one does name sake investigation is conducted evidences are manipulated , etc. finally as per technicality , legality the criminal are not declared as criminals & punished as per the law. A judge , a policeman committing a crime themselves are not morally & legally fit to investigate , prosecute & sit in judgement over the crimes of other criminals. A criminal cannt prosecute & judge another criminal. Our publication has raised many issues of public interest & repeatedly appealed to supreme court of india to consider those as PILs & to provide justice. The learned judges of the apex court didnt care about the public welfare , interest they didnt admit my PILs . Probably they had private interests to protect . Thereby judges are shielding criminals , their crime and giving the free run to criminals to continue with their crimes further. All

these acts of judges itself are crimes & the concerned judges are criminals fit to be legally prosecuted. At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to the honest few public servants in public service including judiciary. However, the corrupt in public service dont deserve respect as individuals as they are parasites in our legal system. Still we respect the chairs they occupy but not the corrupt individuals.

All the following articles / issues , whole articles published in the weblinks mentioned below forms part of this appeal. The term JUDGE mentioned throught includes all public servants discharging judicial functions right from taluk magistrates , quasi-judicial officers to Chief Justice of India.

The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts , for others to emulate & follow. if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by the teacher. if the teacher himself makes a mistake , all his students will do the same mistake. if a thief steals , he can be caught , legally punished & reformed . if a police himself commits crime , many thieves go scotfree under his patronage. even if a police , public servant commits a crime , he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by the aggrieved. just think , if a judge himself that too of apex court of the land itself commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public and obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what happens ? it gives a booster dose to the rich & mighty , those in power , criminals in public service to committ more crimes. that is exactly what is happenning in india. the educated public must raise to the occassion & peacefully , democratically must oppose this criminalisation of judiciary , public service. then alone , we can build a RAM RAJYA OF MAHATMA GANDHI'S DREAM.

Due to my struggle for justice for public & for myself , risking my life & liberty 1.I was not permitted to appear as Amicus Curie before Jain Commission of Enquiry & Supreme Court of India IN Rajiv gAndhi Assasination Case. 2. I have suffered physical assaults & murder attempts. 3.My newspaper publication was illegally closed down. 4. My job opputunities were illegally snatched away , etc. The police dont have the legal power to book , investigate cases against constitutional persons enjoying legal privileges. The police have repetedly called me to police station , but they have never called the guilty VVIPs even once to police station . They have repeatedly tried to close the case . If the authorities are sincere give legal authority sanction to prosecute VVIP criminals. Hereby , I do once again offer my conditional services to supreme court of india , to legally prosecute criminals. Neither the government nor the courts have accepted my offer. Inspite of all these attempts by criminal nexus to silence me , the supreme court of india didnt bother to admit my PILs & to provide justice to the public . They had private , illegal interests to protect. These are the times when Judges accused in SEX scandals get elevated to highest judicial institutions. When everybody else does the mistake , wrong doing , indulges in corruption , judiciary alone must be pure like virgin to punish & guide the wrong doers. Now , the apex court of the land & the highest judicial officer of the land , the conscience keeper , protector of rights , Constitutional guardian of the land The Honourable Chief Justice of India himself Has been found guilty . SHAME SHAME.

Nowadays , we are seeing criminalization of politics , judiciary & police. The rowdy elements have become MLAs & MPs & frequestly indulge in fisticuffs , vulgar abuses in the precincts of the house itself . These rowdy elements take money for asking questions in the parliament , to vote for bills & for a price pass legislations favouring lobbies of rich crooks. The police frame , torture innocents & let out rich crooks for a price . For a price police destroy evidences , records and create fake records , evidences. Finally there are judges who issue arrest warrants , give bail , give acquittal & pass favourable judgements ALL FOR A PRICE . SHAME SHAME . These corrupt judges , police , MPs , MLAs each take salary & perks far exceeding lakhs per annum , but serve rich crooks instead of Indian Public. These corrupt are parasites & deadlier , state enemies than naxalites , terrorists. Democracy in our country , our hard won national independence is endangered by these parasites , corrupt judges , police & peoples representatives only. These parasites themselves are responsible for origin & growth of naxalism / terrorism in india .

Hereby , we DEMAND the Honourable Chief Justice of India to answer the following questions in public interest , for national security , for National unity & integrity. Hereby , we also request the apex court to order the concerned public servants , public authorities to answer following RTI QUESTIONS.

Selection of UNFIT WASTE BODY CRIMINALS as Judges & Police GOLMAAL in JUDGE , Police selection / Recruitment

In India , corruption , favouritism is prevalent in all recriutment / selection processes. The selection is made on bribe , caste , religion but definitely NOT on the basis of Merit & Integrity. The selection to the posts of even Supreme court Judges , quasi judicial officers like district magistrates , taluk magistrates , police , etc is not above board. These tainted , ineligible unfit waste body candidates who get selected as judges , police through devious means sell their judicial orders , executive orders , police orders for a price. The denotfications of government lands , etc as in the case of Mysore DC Vastrad , as in the case of Neglect of Hebbal Lake &, BEML Quarters Lake Encroachment by DC Manivannan , as in the case of Land irregularities by Bangalore DC Aiyyappa , changing the penal clause of penal charges to favour the criminal as in the case of union carbides warren Anderson from mass murder to improper management of the facility , as in the case of Sanjay dutt from TADA charges to illegal possession of arms , etc. The police for a price fix innocents , file B reports favouring the criminals to close the case , prefer not to file an appeal in the higher court , etc. As in the case of Bofors , as in the case of past SP of chamarajanagar Puttaswamy taking bribe from a granite quarry owner for filing B-report in a case. Disgracefully , recently a judge tainted in MYSORE ROOST RESORT SEX SCANDAL was promoted as a supreme court judge. What Justice common folk can expect from these corrupt bodies ? They turn illegalities into legal issues by their orders. These CORRUPT Judges , Police , District Magistrates , Taluk Magistrates are doing more damage to Indias Unity & Integrity than the Naxalites & Terrorists. These corrupt public servants must be put behind bars together with terrorists & naxalites. Let the sense prevail & Democracy prosper. The Honest few in Judiciary , Police & Executive must raise upto the occasion to SAVE DEMOCRACY & to kick out their corrupt colleagues from office.

Judicial Layout Site Allotment BRIBE TO JUDGES ?

Is the allotment of residential plots to Judges @ yelahanka Judicial Layout , a mode of paying bribe to judges by the biggest litigant government itself & the corrupt public servants in the government. So that the government can pass illegal laws like Regularization of Illegal Buildings , Illegal Appointments to Medical colleges in Hassan , Mysore ,etc & ministers , IAS officers can indulge in illegal unconstitutional acts , but the courts will not take any appropriate action suo motto or based on any petition. IT IS MUTUAL HELP , NEXUS OF TWO CRIMINALS JUDICIARY & GOVERNMENT. Ofcourse , there are honest few exceptions in judiciary & government. We Respect those honest few. Information input forms part of process of ones expression. Ones expression in any forms written , oral , etc becomes information input to the opposite person , in turn he expresses his reply. Information & Expression are inseparable parts & form lifeline of a democracy. That is the reason , Right to Expression is the basic fundamental right as well as human right of every Indian citizen. When a persons right to expression is violated , his other rights to equality , justice , etc also are violated. Suppression of Information amounts to curbing of Expression. In a democracy , people have a right to know how the public servants are functioning. However till date public servants are hiding behind the veil of Officials Secrets Act (which is of british vintage created by british to suppress native indians). By this cover-up public servants are hiding their own corruption , crimes , mismanagement , failures , etc. even RTI Act is not being followed intoto by public servants. However the recent delhi high court ruling affirming that CJI is under RTI purview & bound to answer RTI request , is noteworthy. Our previous RTI request to CJI , union home secretary of GOI, President of India , DG & IGP of GOK and others were not honored. The information I sought were answers to the following questions mentioned in the below mentioned websites . the questions concerned the past , present continuing injustices meted out to millions of Indian citizens , due to wrong / illegal work practices of Indian judges , police & public servants . The information we sought would expose the traitors , anti-nationals , criminals in public service. The information we are seeking are no defense secrets , no national secrets. The truthful information exposes the anti-nationals , traitors in the public service & strengthens our national security , national unity & integrity. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : writ of Mandamus and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions at following web page : http://sites.google.com/site/eclarionofdalit/deals-in-courts

KPSC is a den of corruption: Nanaiah

The recently unearthed recruitment scandal in Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) examinations involving senior IAS officer K.A. Monappa is only the "tip of the iceberg" and more such scandals are waiting to be unearthed in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), former Law Minister M.C. Nanaiah has said. Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, he termed KPSC a "den of corruption" and its recruitment methods "nothing but fraud". Accusing KPSC Chairman H.N. Krishna of "harping on the single issue" of CoD inquiry into the 1998 recruitment to "cover up all other lapses", Mr. Nanaiah challenged him and other members to "voluntarily submit themselves to an inquiry" if they were indeed men of integrity. He sought to know why the Government was keeping quiet despite being aware of the malpractices in the commission. He said the Government should evolve an alternative system of recruitment since formation of KPSC board was "inherently flawed" and "beyond any clean up". He favoured formation of departmental committees for recruitment, though KPSC could not be wound up as its formation was mandated by the Constitution. Though Home Minister M.P. Prakash had spoken of recruiting tahsildars directly, nothing had been done in that direction, he said. "All public service commission members enjoy immunity guaranteed by the Constitution. These rules were framed assuming that men of integrity would be appointed to the commission. But caste factor and political compulsions have always guided appointments," Mr. Naniah said. State governments, which made these appointments, had no power to sack any of these members.

KPSC interviews come under a cloud

Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) interviews for recruitment of 362 Gazetted probationers starting from April 1, has come under a cloud with a large number of candidates and social activists preparing to approach the high court questioning selection list of candidates called for interview by the KPSC. DS Parameshwarappa, an ex-serviceman and resident of Kasturinagar alleged huge irregularities in the entire process involving big money as bribes. "KPSC chairman Gonal Bhimappa's term is ending in a month. The hurry with which the interview process is being done gives rise to many suspicions," he said. Parameshwarappa further alleged that KPSC had announced the list of candidates selected for interviews even before the re-totalling process, for candidates who had applied for the same for the written exam. "I have specific information on KPSC not giving answer scripts sought through RTI Act," he said. A group of social activists N Vasudev, Harish Aradhya and Parameshwarappa had requested the election commission to postpone the interviews scheduled by the KPSC. However, the commission said it won't interfere with the working of KPSC, as it is an autonomous body. In turn, Parameshwarappa has decided to take the matter to the HC, with a PIL. He further stated he would make the Election Commission also a party to it, for failing to act. However the KPSC defended its actions, saying it was an autonomous institution, and the rule provides KPSC with the authority go ahead with regular appointments and promotions. But this is an irregular appointment, he asserted. It may be recalled that selection of candidates for interview by KPSC in 1998, 1999 and 2004 too had raised a storm causing damage to its image. According to Vasudev, the autonomous body does not have the authority to increase the number of posts if there are changes in re-totaling of any candidates. "Moreover, if there is a change, the entire list will have to be changed. We will bring up all these facts before the court," he explained. Sources said there was lot of confusion in the cut off-marks for candidates selected for oral interview. Many candidates who scored aggregate of over 900 marks out of total 1800 were not called for interview, while some with much lesser marks were summoned, sources added. However, Gonal Bhimappa, Chairman of KPSC outrightly refuted all the charges. When asked about conducting interviews before the completion of retotaling, he said it would not make any difference as there would be no major changes in the re-totaling. Responding to allegations of being in a hurry as he is set to retire in a month, Bhimappa clarified that along with him, another senior member N Ramakrishna would also be retiring, and decisions were not being taken by violating the rules. He added the KPSC would go ahead with the schedule of conducting interviews.

Main A : You have not taken appropriate action to my previous RTI requests , Numerous appeals for justice & police complaints. You have not replied to show-cause notice also. Your inaction has helped the criminals in manipulating & destroying evidences.

Your inaction / delay in performing your duties not only amounts to denial of information , but amounts to violation of our fundamental & human rights , cover-up of crimes , aiding & abetting criminals . The criminal nexus tried to silence me in many ways. Is not these acts of yours a crime in itself ?

If your acts of crime cover-ups , information / evidence cover-ups , aiding & abetting criminals , silencing a crusader is just & legal. The same type of acts of crimes performed by other citizens will also be legal ?

Main B : At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to all constitutional institutions & to the honest few in public service. Contempt of constitutional institutions , citizens of India is being made by the corrupt persons in constitutional positions themselves. This is an appeal to the honest few in public service , constitutional positions , to bring their corrupt colleagues to book.

1. does the action of MPs , MLAs taking money / receiving favors from vested interests , to formulate policy decisions , to raise questions in parliament / legislative bodies or to abstain from voting legal ? 2. why transparent , fair investigation is not done in such cases ?

3. just remember , the vulgar acts of Mr.Bora Babu Singh in state legislature & how some MLAs vulgarly behaved with Ms.Jayalalita in state legislature , years ago. Are these type of vulgar actions by MPs & MLAs legal ? does not these constitute contempt of the house by MPs & MLAs themselves ? 4. all the peoples representatives from panchayath member to president of India must read ABCD Of Democracy provide along with.since independence of India till date , MPs & MLAs are forcing projects on people against the wishes of people , formulating policies against the wishes of people. Are not such projects , government policies & Laws , undemocratic & illegal ? 5. is the election commission of India verifying the authenticity of affidavits submitted by electoral candidates ? 6. how many candidates have been caught so far for giving false affidavits ? are all the violators prosecuted? 7. are the MPs , MLAs submitting their wealth details on affidavits yearly to vigilance authorities ? defaulters , violators how many ?

8. ? 9.

10. the agricultural incomes of some MPs , MLAs , their kih & kin raises even during the time of severe drought , floods , fall in prices of agricultural products , their companies register increase in turnover / profits even during recession , the trusts / NGOs set up by them receive huge donations. Are all these income legal ?

Main C : 1. we do once again offer our conditional services to the government of india , all state governments & supreme court of india , in apprehending tax evaders , land grabbers , corrupt police , corrupt judges , corrupt public servants , labor law violators , etc. whom the the government officials , vigilance authorities have failed to apprehend. Why the authorities , courts , supreme court of India , are not ready to utilize our service ? are they afraid of being caught ? 2. the public servants , courts theselves are delaying giving information / records to us in many cases. So in the issues / cases raised by us , the clause of time bar doe not apply. Are these delaying tactics of public servants , courts legal ? 3. why no proper , timely action was not taken based on numerous police complaints made by us ? 4. why DG & IGP , Government of Karnataka , has not made any efforts to seek legal sanction for prosecution of VVIPs ( mentioned in our complaint ) , from union & state home ministries ? 5. the criminal nexus is trying to silence me in many ways , but the supreme court of India & national human rights commission has failed to undo the injustices , why ? is it because it is not a high profile case ? is it because it is not hi-fi , does not get image ratings , TRPs ? 6. the public servants are aiding underworld , naxalites & terrorists , by their delaying tactics & denial of information , records. What action has been taken against such anti-national elements in public service ? 7. how many complaints are made by Nagaraj .M.R. , Human Rights Activist , Mysore (editor of SOS e-clarion of dalit & SOS e-voice for justice) to Karnataka police , to national human rights commission to supreme court of India till date ? what action taken with respect to each complaint ? 8. the delay in taking action by public servants with respect to following cases has resulted in more crimes , destruction / manipulation of evidences , records and more injustices to commonman. Why the authorities did not take timely action against criminals in following cases ?

Daily we see numerous reports of misdeeds by police , public servants , industrialists , etc in the media . Then why not police taking any action with respect to them ? Q6. nowadays we see numerous reports of scams , scandals by constitutional functionaries , public servants in the media. Instead of wasting money , killing time by prolonging formation of parliamentary committees , judicial commissions , why not subject those accussed public servants to narco analysis , lie deector test , etc to ascertain truth & provide timely justice ? Q7. If a commonman files a complaint , police / courts wants evidences , witnesses to take action against the rich & mighty crooks. Where as if a rich person just gives a complaint against a poor chap , he is arrested , tortured eventhough there are no evidences , witnesses. Why this double standard ? Q8.

Is it not the duty of police to protect the lives , livelihood of witnesses & all parties involved , both during case & afterwards ? Q14. How do you monitor & check corrupt police personnel & increase in their familys wealth year after year ? Q15. While getting appointed into government service from the rank of peon to IAS officer , police verification is mandatory. While appointing to sensitive defense establishments , research institutes in addition to police verification , central intelligence agencies crosscheck candidates background. However is there no background checks of constitutional functionaries , MPs , MLAs , , who are privy to national secrets ? why ? Q16. Recently , the opposition parties have made allegations during presidential allegations that close relative of one of the front running candidates have swindled public money by their bank , misused public money through one of their NGO. Is it true ? Q17.has GOI funded any terrorist outfits in india or abroad ? Q18.india preaches non-violence , panchasheel principles to the world.

Inspite these background , GOI funded & aided terrorist outfits in former east Pakistan ensuring the creation of Bangladesh , GOI has funded & aided terrorist outfits like LTTE , TULF , ETC in srilanka , MQM in Pakistan. In turn these terrorist outfits have murdered thousands of innocents in those countries. Are these acts of GOI just & legal ? Is not GOI responsible for all those murders of innocents ? has GOI paid any compensation to those victims or their family mebers ? why not ? Q19.within india , to reduce the influence of certain terrorist groups , GOI has funded & aided couter terrorist groups , is it right & legal ? Q20. In Jharkhand , chattisgarh , etc , the government has armed , trained & funded salwa judum to counter naxalites. Salwa judum cadres are terrorizing innocents just like naxalites. Is this action of government just & legal ? Q21.in india, TADA , POTA is being rampantly misused by police. Even where there are no problems of terrorism , TADA / POTA is being slapped against innocents , even children. In M.M.Hills of Karnataka state , STF personnel charged tribal people with TADA on frivolous charges of taking lunch to veerappan , stiching dress for the forest brigand, etc. where as the prominent political, film , sports personalities who have links with underworld , anti national elements & attended parties hosted by dawood Ibrahim , other dons in gulf countries , else where. But these hi-fi people are not charged with TADA / POTA ? why ? Q22. Film actor sanjay dutt had contacts with underworld & fully knowing well the criminal objectives of criminals , hid the dangerous arms & ammunition in his home , which were intended for terrorizing public. However mr.dutt is not charged with TADA / POTA instead he is charged with illegal possession of arms act ( which is normally applied to farmers who use illegal home made guns to scare away animals , birds in their farms ). Why this favourable treatment of mr.dutt by police ? prosecution ? is this because dutt is politically mighty & rich ? Q23. Law is one & same for all , the public servants, police interpretes , enforces it differentially between rich & poor ? why this differentiation ? Q24.recently in Bangalore police nabbed criminals belonging to international criminal syndicate selling duplicate nokia mobiles. Every nokia mobile comes with 15 digit IMEI number , this number is also used by police for tracking criminals. In consumer dispute at consumer disputes redressal forum Mysore CD 49/05 , nokia company stated that all its products come with IMEI number only & stated that the product in dispute sold by tata indicom dealer M/S INTOTO COMMUNICATIONS , Mysore are not theirs as it doesnt have IMEI numbers. Further nokia stated they dont have any business relationship with either tata indicom or its dealer. However the tata indicom dealer stated that indeed his products are genuine , first hand products , but doesnt have IMEI numbers . this proves the dealer in collusion with tata company is selling illegal nokia mobile hand sets & cheating the public. These mobiles are evading taxes , as well as these are without IMEI numbers best buy for criminal elements who want to evade police tracking. What police are doing Q25. Who , of which rank among police personnel takes the decision to close a case ie to file B report , when after certain time limit no leads are found in investigation ? Q26. How do you monitor corrupt police personnel , who purposefully fail to investigate case properly , so that either the case can be closed with B report or the prosecution fails to prove the case in court ?

Q31. Why no action , reply regarding the complaint till date ? Q32. Our constitutional frame workers gave legal immunity privileges to certain constitutional functionaries , so that they are not burdened with frivolous court cases & can concentrate on their constitutional duties. But these privileges doesnt cover the individual actions of those public servants like rape , murder , dowry harassment , tax evasion , misuse of office , etc. but still law enforcement / police department is bound to send request to home ministry seeking permission & home ministry sits over files for months. This gives the accussed ample time to destroy evidences. Is it right & legal ? Q33. Does legal immunity privileges cover their official actions alone ? if not what does it cover ? Q34.

Save Hebbal Lake Save BEML Quarters Lake in Mysore - Crimes of Mysore Deputy Commissioner & Commissioner Mysore Urban Development Authority An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court of India

In the past , Mysore Maharaja & other philanthropists have donated their personal lands , properties , built many lakes & ponds in mysore , bangalore and other places with public concern , public wellbeing in their mind . They built these lakes & ponds in addition to preserving the natural lakes & ponds. They knew about the importance of ecological balance & environment. The present rulers , IAS & KAS babus have even failed to preserve the lakes & ponds built decades ago , let alone build one. These Public servants have extended their tacit support to building mafia , to kill these lakes & ponds , to fill those lakes with industrial effluents , sewage & building mud wastes. After killing those lakes & ponds , the building mafia encroaches on it & usurps that public property in turn selling it for crores of rupees.

In this way , Hootagalli lake was killed & encroached by Kaynes Hotel ( now silent shores hotel) , Hebbal Lake is being killed & encroached from all sides by industries and the lake infront of BEML Quarters is being killed & land demarcation for selling those land has already begun.

The public servants were totally indifferent towards public outcry against this . The IAS & KAS babus who are also magistrates with judicial authority have failed in preserving these lakes & ponds inspite of appeals to them. These death of lakes resulting in their encroachments could have been prevented earlier by DC , Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officers. Even I have appealed to them through my web news paper , they didnt take action at all. I have made RTI request to those authorities to give me information regarding status of those lakes years ago , fearing truth will come out they didnt anwer my questions in full , they only gave half truths. When I persisited with my RTI request the Mysore District Magistrate at that time Mr. P.Manivannan repeatedly called me over phone , abused me & threatened me . Even threats were made by some policemen in mufti . Finally that lake land was allotted to an industrially supposed to be close to Industries minister at that time. The courts are dispassionate & inhuman , while passing eviction orders against poor people , the police are full of guts & show their full bravery , valour against these poor land encroachers. Fine , let us appreciate their duty consciousness . However rich & well connected criminals have illegally encroached upon public lands , the same courts and police are not taking appropriate action inspite of repeated appeals , why ? Even the Supreme Court of India & Police are Weak & Meak before Land Mafia. Dont the same Judges & Police have Guts , Bravery , Duty Conciousness & Integrity to take action against such rich land grabbers ? The answer lies in the following articles. Once again we offer our conditional services to Supreme Court of India , to legally apprehend criminals while the respective public servants have failed to do the same.

Hereby , we request the honourable Supreme Court of India , 1. To initiate criminal prosecution against Mysore district magistrate , Mysore taluk magistrate , MUDA Commissioner , Jurisdictional Police Officers & KIADB Officer , for making contempt of Supreme Court of India Order applying throught india to preserve lakes & ponds. 2. 3. To evict all encroachers forth with . To immediately stop all flow of industrial effluents & sewage to these lakes & ponds.

4. To initiate criminal prosecution against encroachers of these lakes & pollters , killers of these lakes. 5. To preserve the said lakes & ponds , by recovering cost from encroachers , polluting industries and the co-conspirators Mysore DC , Mysore Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner , KIADB Officer & Jurisdictional Police Officers. 6. To protect me , my family members & dependents from land mafia & co-conspirators of the crime. 7. To order , to issue Writ of Mandamus to Mysore District Magistrate , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officer to disclose all the information sought by me in my RTI request publicly. The copy of my RTI request is reproduced below.

Threats to Human Rights Activist / RTI Applicant - An Appeal to CIC , KIC & Chief Justice of India

shame shame to VVIPs , Public servants who are hiding truths , who are covering up crimes , by denying RTI REQUESTS to us. In India , many Corrupt public servants dont honour RTI requests with one pretext or the other. They are aware that the information if given will become evidences of their criminals acts. They go to any length to hide truth , to hide information. They murder RTI Applicants , fix them in cases , etc. Nowadays murders of RTI Applicants , Human Rights Activists are frequent. I have myself suffered threats , attempts to murder me , closure of my news paper , loss of job , etc at the hands of criminal nexus. Example : I have requested Mysore district , district magistrate for information under RTI regarding illegalities worth crores of rupees , instead of taking action against the culprits , Preventing further irregularities , illegalities , criminals he repeatedly abused me & threatened me. The illegalities continued , a lake was partially closed illegally allotted to an industrialist alleged to be very close to the state Industries minister. In the same way I have been threatened by police often , I have even received threatening phone calls from a person claiming himself to be a UP High Court Judge. To my previous appeals to CIC & KIC , they were mum , as it concerns a Commoner it wont give them any image build up , publicity or TRP ratings instead it will raise the heckles of powers that be marring the future prospects , lucrative postings , etc of CIC & KIC members . Bureaucrats are of secretive nature , a career bureaucrat if appointed to information commission , he works against the principle of Transparency & RTI . If further the career bureaucrat happens to be utterly corrupt & given posting in Information commission as a favor by his corrupt colleagues in the government , RTI & RTI Applicant will suffer , die. Example : Karnataka state information commissioner Mr. H.N Krishna. Ofcourse , there are few honest people in public service including in information

Ofcourse , there are few honest people in public service including in information commissions . We respect those honest few & request their support in apprehending their corrupt colleagues . If anything untoward happens to me or to my dependents , together with the criminals all the members of CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION & KARNATAKA STATEINFORMATION COMMISSION will be responsible for it. Subject to conditions , hereby I do offer my services to CIC , KIC & GOI in apprehending , legally prosecuting criminals , corrupt public servants , etc. Hereby , I do request the CIC & KIC to order the concerned officials to give information in following cases & RTI Requests mentioned below. RTI Request made to Dy Chairman , Rajyasabha , New Delhi SA/UG/11/14290f12f RTI Request made to Union Home Minister , GOI , New Delhi SA/UG/11/14291iwho RTI Request made to Chief Justice of India , New Delhi SA/UG/11/14287gink RTI Request made to President of India , New Delhi SA/UG/11/14288iv66 RTI Request made to Loksabha Speaker , New Delhi SA/UG/11/142892yj9 Our previous RTI request to CJI , union home secretary of GOI, President of India , DG & IGP of GOK and others were not honored. The information I sought were answers to the following questions mentioned in the below mentioned websites . the questions concerned the past , present continuing injustices meted out to millions of Indian citizens , due to wrong / illegal work practices of Indian judges , police & public servants . The information we sought would expose the traitors , anti-nationals , criminals in public service. The information we are seeking are no defense secrets , no national secrets. The truthful information exposes the anti-nationals , traitors in the public service & strengthens our national security , national unity & integrity. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : "writ of Mandamus" and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions.

RTI QUESTIONS HONOURABLE GOVERNOR OF RESEVE BANK OF INDIA IS AFRAID TO ANSWER

SOILED NOTE FRAUD CASE @ RBI BANGALORE Trauma of an old man

Complete case details also available at http://members.lycos.co.uk/ganapathihariram/

As per allegations of RBI management Bangalore in 1977-79 , criminal nexus of RBI employees stole Rs. 220000 from RBI Bangalore. All the banks , government treasuries in Karnataka , submit defaced / soiled currency notes to RBI Bangalore in exchange for good notes. RBI after collecting such defaced currency notes , sorts out fairly good notes which can be reissued & burns off the remaining totally defaced currency notes. All these process is done in a systematic manner.

As per allegations of the management , the crime took place in the period of 1977-79 at RBI Bangalore. A nexus of employees, took away the currency bundles meant for destruction & substituted it in the place of bundles of reissuables.

Charge sheet issued by RBI Bangalore office to mr.G.Hariram Staff no.3698/156/84-85 dt 1 april 1985 Amended charge sheet staff no 3798/156-84/85 dt 8 april 1985

CBI has charge sheeted 17 employees in connection with this case , case olde no. cc34/1989 new no. sc 436/1991 . the honourable 21 city additional city civil & sessions court Bangalore in it's order dated 24.01.1992 discharged 03 charge sheeted employees , as the prosecution

failed to prove the charges against them. They came out clean , as they were innocents saddled with the crime done by others. One of the charge sheeted employee who turned approver for the prosecution, has given detailed account of the crime. Nowhere he has mentioned the involvement of accussed no.15 mr.G.Hariram in the crime.

Even after coming out clean, mr.G.Hariram was not reinstated into service by RBI. They gave the ruse of domestic enquiry & showed contempt to the court order. On appeal, the honourable high court of Karnataka ordered RBI to review it's order with respect to mr.G.Hariram , still RBI failed to reinstate mr.G.Hariram into service , once gain showing contempt to the court of law.

In India as per law , the decisions of court of law are binding on all , orders of court over rides the organisation's internal rules , service rules , etc. inspite of lack of evidences, in a whimsical manner the higher authorities of RBI , fixed some innocents as the scape goats heaped all charges against them ( against whom they had personal grudge , dislikes ). RBI repeatedly showed contempt to the court orders , dismissed the scape goat - ailing old man mr.G.Hariram from service. RBI snatched away his PF money towards the alleged loss to the bank , didn't pay his gratuity amount , salary arrears and finally he was even deprived of the pension. As a result , the old man has even lost his social prestige, dignity , his family suffered a lot & he is a mental wreck today.

Why RBI authoroties are hell bent upon to send away the innocents / scape goats away from service ? why CBI didn't conduct polygraph tests of all the accussed , specifically higher officers of RBI , managers

of RBI office Bangalore ? probably the scape goats were aware of the crimes master minded by higher ups & didn't co-operate with the higher ups in their crimes. So, the criminals were afraid that the scape goats will blurt out truth to the world , fixed non co-operating innocents themselves as criminals.

Who will give justice to innocents like old man mr.G.Hariram & who will bell the corrupt , criminals , fat cats of RBI ?

6. why did not you take steps to preserve3 & protect respective documents relating to such high profile crime ?

7. why didn't you immediately issue charge sheet to all the accussed & waited till 1983 ?

8. Why RBI has left out , so many officers ( who worked in the same sections for more period than accused officers ) from domestic enquiry ?

9. why CBI also failed to put those people in the charge sheet before the court ?

10. is it because they were in favorable terms with the vested interests ?

11. did the CBI dance to the tune of vested interests in RBI while preparing charge sheet & during investigation , instead of independent investigation ?

12. those left out probables from the charge sheet might have caused the destruction of evidences / records. During the course of domestic

enquiry / court proceedings , it has been recorded that some records have been destroyed. Are not CBI & RBI responsible for destruction of evidences , aiding true criminals get away ?

13. in normal times , what is the period specified in RBI regulations for preserving old documents / records ?

14. after noticing such a high profile crime the RBI must have taken utmost care to preserve such old records for indefinite time , for producing before courts of law as & when demanded. But it didn't , why ?

15. does not this point to connivance of higher authorities of RBI , with the criminals ?

16. RBI authorities have conducted domestic mass enquiries , instead of individual enquiries , is it not detrimental to the rights of defense ?

17. RBI authorities have stated that court proceedings & domestic enquiry are independent of each other & are not binding on one another. However RBI authorities straight away took on record of domestic enquiry the court statements , evidences , but didn't honour the order of same court of law ? why this double standard by RBI ?

18. The alleged crime was committed in 1977-79, but charge sheet was framed in mid 1985 , why this long delay ?

19. didn't this facilitate the masterminds of crime to destroy , manipulate evidences ?

20. as stated before court , indeed some records , 22nd currency note packet were missing , who is responsible for it ?

21. has the CBI conducted enquiry , polygraph test of RBI higher officers - S.N.RAZDAN , W.S.SARAF , J.P.AWASTHI , J.MITRA & others , if not why ?

22. is it not due to inefficiency , negligence of duty by such high ranking managers , that such a crime occurred in RBI Bangalore ?

23. what disciplinary action RBI has taken against the inefficient , negligent higher officials ?

24. whatever internal rules an organization makes must be within the line of law. If such internal laws of the organization are violative of law , fundamental rights of employees , such internal rules become illegal. Are not the way of RBI disciplinary proceedings illegal ?

25. as per RBI pension regulations 1990 , RBI has the right to deduct any loss caused to the bank , from the pension of RBI employee if the misconduct of employee is proved in judicial proceedings . even though mr.G.Hariram came out clean from the court , why RBI has denied his pension ?

26. judicial courts of law are appellate authorities over & above , domestic enquiry committees & judicial orders supersedes the domestic enquiry proceedings. Still RBI showed contempt of court & didn't reinstate mr..G.Hariram into service , why ?

27. even if an employee's misconduct causing loss to the bank is proved , before denying him pension (towards making up loss to the bank) , previous sanction of the central board of RBI must be taken. But in mr.G.Hariram's case , pension was denied in full without taking previous sanction of the central board of RBI , is it not illegal ?

28. RBI alleged that mr..G.Hariram caused loss to the tune of Rs.14000 to the bank & recovered it from his provident fund dues. There was nothing left over to recover , still RBI completely denied pension to mr.G.Hariram , why ?

29. ideally, domestic enquiry findings / disciplinary actions should be completed first , then the employee can appeal to appropriate court of law. In mr.G.Hariram's case , CBI & RBI failed to prove the charges in court of law , as a result court discharged him from the charges. To cover-up it's failures RBI management dragged domestic enquiry much beyond court orders date & gave findings indicting mr..G.Hariram. does the enquiry officer of domestic enquiry think that he is over & above the court of law ? is it not illegal & contempt of court ?

30. ideally , RBI authorities should have appealed to higher court against lower court order discharging mr.G.Hariram from charges. But it was not done , why ?

31. did the RBI pay interim relief to mr.G.Hariram , during suspension

period ?

32. the undue delay in filing charge sheet , consequent destruction of key evidences , dishonour / contempt of court orders , undue haste in giving findings , dismissal , denial of of pension without central board's sanction , all point towards criminals within RBI higher management. What disciplinary action has been taken against J.P.AWASTHI, S.N.RAZDAN,J.MITRA, W.SARAF & others ? if not why ?

33. why charge sheet was amended? Is it legal ?

34. did the charge sheet was amended to falsely implicate mr..G.Hariram , by including cancelled note vault in the charge sheet ?

35. does not this itself show that it is not statement of actual happenings / facts , but a cunning ploy to mislead investigation towards fixed innocents from actual criminals ?

36. is it true that that only 5% of sample inspection is done out of bundled verified defective note packets ?

37. is not the conduct of joint / mass enquiries of all charge sheeted officers illegal ?

38. how come such an important evidence 22nd note packet went missing ?

39. is it because it may point towards real criminals ?

40. as per the statement of management witness / inspection head / expert mr.vijendra rao , the notes of earlier dates have been removed from packets made into new bundles , right ?

41. as per his statement , entire certificates , seals of some asst treasurers are there , who didn't work at all on that day is not it ?

42. does not it show that some body else was misusing the seals , putting some innocents seals over the notes ?

43. does it not show that , crime has taken place at verification section ?

44. does it not show involvement of some asst treasurers ?

45. why asst treasurers have not been charge sheeted ?

46. why inspection of RBI Bangalore office was not done between 1975 & 1979 ?

47. is it not true that you failed to produce all records showing internal inspection / audits , during domestic enquiry & court proceedings ?

48. your expert mr.vijendra rao has stated that some seal marks are smudged , he has stated some seal marks appears to be so & so. He has clearly nowhere stated that this seal mark is exactly this , so he himself is not 100% sure ?

49. your expert nowhere said that 100% sure this seal mark is this , on that day this seal was issued to mr.G.Hariram , isn't it ?

50. your expert says during 1975 , he didn't notice3 any fraud. However approver says fraud was there before mid 1977 also. Why no action has been taken ?

51. why you didn't produce all records of all persons , who have specifically worked in alleged sections , the registers of those departments with daily activity report containing seal nos , packet nos , bag nos , etc ?

52. are not their chances of some criminals putting the seal marks of innocent officers over the notes , bundles , bags , etc ?

53. your expert is not 100% sure of seal mark , your records are not there to prove the presence of charge sheeted officers in the alleged sections , neither your expert nor your records are 100% sure on what date , at what stage , by whom crime was committed , isn't it ?

54. is not the charge sheet amounting to higher ups picking up officers they dislike & falsely implicating them ?

55. is it not cunning ploy of higher ups to divert attention from original criminals ?

56. why no action was taken against currency officer of 1977-79 mr.J.Mitra ? why his pension , super annuation benefits were not withheld ?

57. what is your justification , supporting evidence , records for picking up only three officers including mr.G.Hariram for legal prosecution and leaving the majority of probables ?

58. why you have dropped charges against five asst treasurers ? why you didn't even conduct domestic enquiry against them , let alone legal prosecution ?

59. Is it RBI's & CBI's way of fair play & justice ?

60. as inly 5% sampling of verified note bundles are done , there are more possibilities of rebundled packets getting unnoticed in relaxed 95% lot , isn't it ?

61. you have left out so many officers who worked in those sections, some of whom even became management witnesses , instead of being charge sheeted by the management, is it fair play & legal ?

62. who are the bank employees , from whom you have recovered the alleged bank loss of

Rs.220000 ?

63. were all of them charge sheeted , enquired , legally prosecuted , dismissed & their pension , gratuity withheld ?

64. you don't have any internal statuotary records to prove that mr.G.Hariram worked in those departments , except a currency officer's office note dated just on the eve of charge sheet years after the alleged crime ? does it not prove that this note has been concocted just to fix mr.G.Hariram ?

65. where as you have records of other officials attendance in those departments , but not charge sheeted them why ?

66. three officers of staff grade A daily work in three sections out of 40 officers , why you have picked up only mr.G.Hariram , out of 1095 working days , he has worked for only 223 days in those sections , still those officers who worked for more days in those sections are not charge sheeted why ? the approver , the management expert witness , shift registers , V2 registers , Destruction certificates , Form CD 55 , etc , nobody , no records were able to say on what date , at what stage , by whom crime took place , also they were unable to say on what date at what stage crime was committed by mr.G.Hariram ? is it not futile imagination , cunning ploy of RBI higher authorities to fix innocent Mr.G.Hariram ?

67. the management expert witnesses said , the most probable place of crime is punching / Cancelled Note Vault , incinerator , where asst treasurers were joint custodians . they were not enquired & let off why ?

68. the charge sheet alleges extraction / substitution of defaced note packets. Where as the management expert witness say substitution of defaced notes only ? is not there difference between loss of one number of note & 100 number of notes ?

69. as per the normal course of duty , staff officers does not count notes in each bundles , but they just count the number of bundles only. Is not there chances of inserted note bundles or bundles containing less number of notes going unnoticed ? is it not the failure of statuotary system of work practices ? 70. does not all these prove higher authorities of RBI & CBI were hell bent to fix mr.G.Hariram & to shield the original criminals ? Questions with respect to other cases : 71. how do you monitor the work of bank officials nominated as directors of companies which have availed bank loans ? 72. how do you monitor the work of companies , in which banks have invested ? 73. how do you monitor the rapid wealth growth of certain bank officials , who work in shares investment / equity funds section , etc ? 74. inspite of project reports by bank officials , over assessment of collateral securites / value of debtor companies by bank officials , the loans become NPAs & full value cann't be realized in the market by selling off the assets of debtor companies also. In such cases , what action is taken against erring bank officials who collude with criminal industrialists for availing higher amount of loan than permissible ? 75. give bankwise specific figures of NPAs. 76. give names of industrial groups / promoters whose companies have become NPAs , so that public can be aware of them , before investing in new companies promoted by them. 77. is not collection of loan from debtors of bank through rowdies / recovery agents , illegal ? 78. why not criminal complaints filed against bank mangers for aiding , abetting rowdism , murdering people ? 79. if your method of employing rowdies to collect loans of Rs.10000 from commoners is right , what would you do to a promoter of a debtor company to recover loans of crores of rupees , supari killing ? but debtors of crores of rupees is let off coolly by banks , why ? 80. what is the exact amount of loss caused to the exchequer by karim lala telgi who printed fake stamp papers ? 81. what action has been taken against those involved ? 82. have you taken action against all those mentioned by telgi during narco analysis test , if not why ? is it because they are powerful & bigwigs ? 83. how you are controlling the illegal finance activities , money lending by individuals , pawn brokers & chit fund companies ? 84. how you are monitoring the receipt of public donations , foreign donations by many NGOs ? 85. how many erring NGOs , chit fund companies , pawn brokers , individuals you have booked for illegal finance activities ?

Ten reasons why criminals in khaki get away Siddharth Varadarajan

Behind every man like S.P.S. Rathore who abuses his authority stand the generals and footsoldiers who help and support him. We need to take them all down. S.P.S. Rathore, the criminal former top cop of Haryana, may appear alone today but we must never forget that he was able to get away with the sexual molestation of a young child and the illegal harassment of her family for 19 years because he had hundreds of men who supported him in his effort to evade justice. The fact that these men fellow police officers, bureaucrats, politicians, lawyers, judges, school administrators were willing to bend the system to accommodate a man accused of molesting a minor speaks volumes for the moral impoverishment of our establishment and country. Decent societies shun those involved in sexual offences against children. Even criminals jailed for `ordinary' crimes like murder treat those serving time for molesting children as beyond the pale. But in India, men like Rathore have their uses for their masters, so the system circles its wagons and protects them. The CBI's appeal may lead to the enhancement of Rathore's sentence and perhaps even the slapping of abetment to suicide charges, since his young victim killed herself to put an end to the criminal intimidation her family was being subjected to by Rathore and his men. But the systemic rot which the case has exposed will not be remedied unless sustained public pressure is put on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, two men who have it in their power to push for simple remedies in the way the Indian law enforcement and justice delivery system works. First, abolish the need for official, i.e. political sanction to prosecute bureaucrats, policemen and security forces personnel when they are accused of committing crimes. The original intent behind this built-in stay-out-of-jail card was to protect state functionaries from acts done in the course of discharging their duties in good faith. Somewhere along the line, this has come to mean protecting our custodians of law and order when they murder innocent civilians (eg. the infamous Panchalthan case in Kashmir where the trial of army men indicted by the CBI for murdering five villagers in 2000 still cannot take place because the Central government will not grant permission), or assault or molest women and children. No civilised, democratic society grants such impunity. It is disgusting to see former officials and bureaucrats from Haryana saying how they had wanted Rathore prosecuted but were prevented from doing so because of pressure. Such officials should either be made formally to testify in a criminal case against the politicians who so pressured them or they should themselves be hauled up for perverting the course of justice. Second, stop talking about how making the police and army answerable to the law will somehow demoralise their morale. Does anybody care about the morale of ordinary citizens any more? Or the morale of upright police and army officers, who do not think it is right for their colleagues to be able to get away with criminal acts? Third, bring an end to the cosy relationship between the police and politicians. Rathore was protected by four chief ministers of Haryana. He served them and they served him by ensuring his unfettered rise. It is absurd that the Indian Police is still governed by a colonial-era Act dating back to 1861. A number of commissions have made recommendations for reforming the police over the years; but no government or political party wants to give up its ability to use and misuse the police for their own benefit. Fourth, ensure that police officers who abuse their authority and engage in mala fide prosecutions are dismissed from service and sentenced to jail for a long period of time. Mr. Chidambaram should use the considerable resources at his command to find out who were the policemen involved in filing 11 bogus cases against the teenaged brother of the young girl Rathore molested. He should then make sure criminal proceedings are initiated against all of them. The message must go out to every policeman in the country: If you abuse the law at the behest of a superior, you will suffer legal consequences. Fifth, ensure that criminal charges against law enforcement personnel are fast-tracked as a matter of routine so that a powerful defendant is not able to use his position to delay proceedings the way Rathore did for years on end. The destruction or disappearance of material evidence in such cases must be treated as a grave offence with strict criminal liability imposed on the individual responsible for breaking the chain of custody. Sixth, empower the National Human Rights Commission with teeth so that police departments and state governments cannot brush aside their orders as happened in the Rathore case. This would also require appointing to the NHRC women and men who have a proven record of defending human rights in their professional life, something that is done today only in the breach. The attitude of the Manmohan Singh government to this commission and others like the National Commission for Women (NCW) and National Commission for Minorities is shocking. Vacancies are not filled for months on end. Seventh, ensure the early enactment of pending legislation broadening the ambit of sexual crimes, including sexual crimes against children. Between rape, defined as forced penetrative sex, and the vague, Victorian-era crime of `outraging the modesty of a woman', the Indian Penal Code recognises no other form of sexual violence. As a result, all forms of sexual molestation and assault short of rape attract fairly lenient punishment, of the kind Rathore got. In his case, the judge did not even hand down the maximum sentence, citing concerns for the criminal's age. Sadly, he did not take into account the age of the victim and neither does the IPC, which fails to distinguish between `outraging the modesty' of an adult woman and a young child. A draft law changing these provisions and bringing India into line with the rest of the modern world has been pending with the NCW and Law Ministry for years. Perhaps the government may now be shamed into pushing it through Parliament at the earliest. Eighth, take steps to introduce a system of protection of witnesses and complainants. The fate that the family of Rathore's young victim had to endure is testament to the fact that people who seek justice in India do so at their own peril. Ninth, ensure that robust interrogation techniques like narco-analysis, which are routinely used against other alleged criminals, are also employed against police officers accused of crimes. Tenth, the media and the higher judiciary must also turn the light inward and ask themselves whether they were also derelict in their duty. The Rathore case did not attract the kind of constant media attention it deserved, nor do other cases involving serving police officers accused of crimes against women, workers, peasants and minorities. As for the upper courts, their record is too patchy to inspire confidence. It was, after all, the high court which chose to disregard the CBI's request for including abetment to suicide charges.

Why Jury System is superior than judge system

Contents 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. What is judge system and Jury System? How judge system has weakened India : A specific example judge-lawyer nexus in judge system Nexuslessness : KEY difference Jury System creates over judge system Knowledge/information factor Summary

What is judge system and Jury System? In any nation, there will be disputes over many issues between two or more individuals, and if these disputes are NOT resolved by the state/nation in short time, the individuals will resolve to private retribution thereby causing a chaos. Such chaos could wreck the nation. So for stability, it becomes necessary for the citizenry to give judgements on these disputes, and use force to enforce that judgement. A nation consisting of lakhs and crores of citizens would have thousands and lakhs of disputes a year. It is NOT possible for every citizen to personally take interest in each of the these individual thousands and lakhs of disputes. A citizen can at best take interest in 1-2 disputes a month or year. Therefore, the citizenry has not much option, but to appoint some individuals, for

each dispute and take their decision has almost final in most cases, and scrutinize (via appeal) them in some cases. So one of the procedure that a nation has to execute, implicitly or explicitly, is to choose individuals to give judgement on a perticular dispute. There are two broad systems depening on how individuals are chosen 1. The Jury System : Given any dispute, 5-10-15 citizens are chosen at random from the voter list of all adult citizens in that district/state, and these citizens, called as Jurors, hear the arguments, examine the evidences, and give a verdict 2. the judge system : some senior individuals in the state appoints some chosen individuals in a district and appointed as judges, who will have term for 2-4-more years. And these fixed small number of appointed individuals will resolve the disputes. Other systems, which use BOTH, random selection of citizenry as well as appointed individuals are basically simple combitions of Jury System and judge system. And there are many other factors, like size of Jury, qualifications, screening rules etc which make one Jury System differ from another. But fundamental difference between Jury System and judge system is : Jury System depends on a few randomly chosen citizens from ENTIRE population, and DIFFERENT Jurors are used for different cases; WHILE judge system uses same appointed individuals for almost all cases that would come. On the surface, this issue may look unimportant --- what difference does it make whether cases are decided by randomly chosen citizens or a fixed judges? But this trivial looking difference plays a huge role in the strengthening or weakening the nation.

How judge system has weakened India : A specific example Cosider a specific kind of crime --- street criminals (commonly called as Daadaa) collecting protection money from small shop-keepers etc every month, openly and fearlessly. There are places in US/Europe with high crimes, but nowhere can one see criminals opnely extorting money from shop-keepers. There are many differential reasons for this. One of the factor why career crime is rampant in India, and less seen in West is the that India uses judge system, while the West uses Jury System. The judge system makes India's courts very nexused, while the Jury System has drastically reduced the nexusproneness in Western courts. Lets see how Jury System reduces the nexusproneness in Western Courts. Consider a midlevel career criminal with a gang of 50-100 criminals. He may be operating in some 5-10 areas. Now to sustain their operations, he and his gang members would need to pay monthly bribes to many MLAs, MPs, police officers, other officers, government lawyers, judges etc and would also need money to hire lawyers, mercinaries etc on time to time basis. All this, means a monthly FIXED COST of lakhs of rupees. Now such career criminal CAN NOT always find 5-10 victims that would cover all the costs and give profits every month. So almost always, a gang of career criminals has to victimise 100s of victims a month. In short, a career criminal and his gang-member has to commit 100s of crime a month. Out of so many crimes, some 20-30 of victims would end up filing complain in the courts. This would generate some 300-400 court cases per year. Now this is where judge system and Jury System would create difference in combating career crimes. Career criminal in judge system Career criminal in Jury System In the Jury System, EACH case goes to 12-15 DIFFERENT Jurors, randomly chosen from the In the judge system, these 300-400 cases will district. go to just 5-10 judges, who have a term of 2-4 So to get acquitals in 300-400 cases a year, years in their areas. the gang leader will need to cultivate nexuses So in order to delay the case (to frustrate the with 3000-5000 Jurors a year. complainers/witnesses) or get outright aquittals, the gang leader has to cultivate nexuses with Long delay in Jury Trials are rare as each Jury is given ONLY one case, hearings are ONLY 5-10 judges. from 11am to 4pm on one and only one case, He cultivates nexuses with 5-10 judges, and and mostly next date is next day. bingo ... he can manage an acquital/delay in so managing acquitals in even 10%-20% 99% cases. cases is next to impossible, much much harder than it is in judge system

IOW, since a large number of cases in Indian courts are resolved by a small number of individuals (i.e. judges) the career criminal who have cultuvated nexuses with are having a field day. While West uses a very large number of individuals to resolve court cases, which makes establishing nexuses in a larger number of cases difficult.

judge-lawyer nexus in judge system That was about judge-criminal nexus. The courts in India are sprawling with judge-lawyer nexuses. How does judge-lawyer nexus come into existance? judge-lawyer nexus No Jury-lawyer nexus Say 3-5 senior lawyers have 10-20 junior No one in Western courts has even seen lawyers working for them. Say they are togather Juror-lawyer nexus. It simply cant exist as ... taking 200-400 cases a year in a district the 3-5 senior lawyers, who are taking 200 Most of these cases would to same 10-20 400 cases a year will end up facing 2000-5000 judges posted in that district. Jurors a year Within 3-6 months these lawyers can cultivate there is no time to cultivate nexuses with even nexuses with these 10-20 judges. 5% of them.

Putting it other way When a lawyer makes a nexus with a judge Even if a lawyer manages to form nexuses with during the trial of a case, that nexus with that say 7-8 out of 12 Jurors during the trial of a judge will be CERTAINLY useful to that lawyer case, those nexus with those Jurors will be of in ALL his cases which will come up before that NO USE at all in ALL other case of that lawyer, judge. as Jurors change with each and every trial. Nexuslessness : KEY difference Jury System creates over judge system I will re-explain the difference Jury System creates. 1. There are 12 DIFFERENT Jurors for each case, and NO citizen is allowed to sit in Jury for more than once in say 5-10 years. (The judge's role is to guide the Jurors, not to decide the guilt.) 2. So in the West, say there are 5000 cases a year in a district, the verdict is given by 50000 to 60000 Jurors. Where as in judge system, these 5000 verdicts will be given by mere 20-50 judges. 3. Lets look at it another way. Say a judge gives say 100 verdicts a year and say a judge's career is 30 years long. So one individual, the judge, decides 3000 cases. Whereas, in The Jury System, EACH case goes to 10-15 DIFFERENT Jurors. So the judgements in these 3000 cases will come from 30000 to 40000 DIFFERENT Jurors. 4. So the number of 'decision makers' in Jury System is much much larger. The number of decision makers in courts go up by not just 10-12-15 times, but almost 20000 to 40000 times higher. How does this make courts of West less nexusprone? While it is indeed possible to make nexuses with 7-10 out of 12 Jurors and get a favorable verdict, it is NOT possible for a lawyer or a career criminal to make nexuses with 1000 out of 2000 Jurors. Basically, in a district's courts, when number of decision makers are small, such as just 20-50, it is possible for a lawyer or a career criminal to cultivate nexuses with them. But when number of decision makers are large, as large as 50000-60000, it is next to impossible for a career criminal or a lawyer to cultivate a nexuses with many of them. [Note : The Jury System is the KEY reason why Courts in US are much less nexused than courts in India. But it is NOT the only reason. Following are the OTHER additional reasons why US Courts are less nexused than Courts in India 1. Grand Jury System : The public prosecutors in US are accountable to Grand Jury consisting of some 25-30 citizens. They are semi-randomly chosen from citizenry; term is 6 months to 1 year, and repeatations are NOT allowed. This makes Grand Jury a fairly less nexusprone body. 2. The public prosecuors in most states/district are elected. When not elected, they are appointed by PM/CM/Mayor, and appointment needs approval of majority of MPs/MLAs/Panchayat-Members. Where as in India, PPs in ALL districts are appointed by Law Ministers. The procedure is more nexus-prone compared to election procedure. 3. The police chief in most districts in US is elected. This makes police chiefs more responsible to citizenry and less nexused than appointed police chiefs.

4. The judges in many states/districts in US are elected. Election is less nexusprone procedure than appointment. When not elected, judges are appointed by PM/CM and appointment needs approval of majority of MLAs/MPs. This procedure is far less nexusprone than procedure used in India, where judges appoint judges without any public debate. end of Note]

Knowledge/information factor One objection often cited by anti-Jury pro-judge individuals is that Jurors have less knowledge/information about the law. This objection is partly incorrect --- BOTH jurors and judges have SAME knowledge/information about basic concepts of justice, fairness, right/wrong etc. The ONLY difference is that judges have more TECHNICAL knowledge about specific details. eg both judges and Jurors know that violence is crime, crime done with specific monetary motive is more henious than spotaneous violence etc. But Jurors may or may not be aware of specific details like such and such act carries maximum punishment of say 5 years or 7 years or 6 months and so forth. Such specific details are easy to grasp and apply. The pro-judge anti-Jury people do not mention the other point --- i.e. judges progressively get more and more nexused. A newly appointed young Magistrate is relatively nexusless, and so he is bold, upright, straight forward and fair. But as days go, he cultivates more and more nexuses with lawyers, criminals, other judges, officers, Ministers, MLAs, local riches etc. Whereas each Jury is DIFFERENT and so un-nexused. IMO, decisions from un-nexused Jurors will have more integrity and fairness than decisions of nexused judges, no matter how much more knowledgeable and informed they might be. Therefor, I prefer Jury System over judge system.

How to bring Jury System in India ? The question is for all those, but ONLY those, who believe that decisions of inhererently ununexused Jurors will be better than decisions of the fixed permanent judges, who are nexusprone and often nexused. To those who believe that judge system is better than Jury System, this is a non-question. Now following is are the steps I suggest using which citizens in India can expel the judges and bring Jurors onboard. 1. First citizens should get LM.01-03 passed in Panchayats, Assembly and Parliament. These procedures would reduce citizens dependence on MLAs/MPs etc in getting Jury related laws passed in Panchayats, Assembly and Parliament. 2. Next, citizens should pass a law in Parliament using LM.03, which would give full powers the State Legislatures to draft the laws related with appointments of judges in all courts which would takes cases on issues which are State subjects. The Central government would ONLY manage the cases that are related with Central subjects. 3. Next, citizens should pass a law in Assemblies using LM.02, which would give full powers the Districts to draft the laws related with appointments of judges in Lower Courts, whose power is restricted to maximum punishment of 3 years and fine of Rs 100,000, and would also empower Districts to have full control over administration of such LCs. 4. Using LM.03, citizens can expel all appointed judges in SC and ensure that SCs has ONLY 10 judges of which all 10 are DIRECTLY elected by citizens of India. And using LM.03, citizens can pass a law that would create Jury System in Supreme Court of India. 5. Using LM.02, citizens can expel all appointed judges in HC and ensure that HCs has ONLY 10 judges of which all 10 are DIRECTLY elected by citizens of the State. And using LM.02, citizens can pass a law that would create Jury System in High Courts of States 6. Using LM.03, citizens can expel all appointed judges in LCs and ensure that LCs judges get DIRECTLY elected by citizens of the District. And using LM.01, citizens can pass a law that would create Jury System in Lower Courts. Basically, 1st step redeuces the need to convince MLAs who are hostile to Jury System due to a mutual understainding that whereby judges will not hurt MLAs and MLAs will not hurt the judges. The second step will allow each state to decide whether they want judge system or Jury System, and how they want to manage their State courts. The third steps takes it down to district level --for all crimes in which maximum punishment is below 3 years. Now citizens of districts are on their own --- some district may decide to continue as is with appointed judges, some may opt for elected judges with no Jury, some district may opt for elected judges with Jury System and so forth. This may reduce uniformity, but DOES NOT result into discrimination, as inside a court, all citizens are treated equally. Such uniformity does not exist even today, as some laws under state subjects vary from state to state. Also, since Criminal Procedure Code is joint subject in India, CrPC in different states does vary. Also, since the procedures to appoint judgfes in lower courts is left to HC chief judges, they vary from State to State. So we do NOT have uniformity today. So my proposed setup DOES NOT destroy uniformity, as we dont have uniformity anyway. To enact Jury based procedures in India, I have proposed following procedures : 1. 2. 3. 4. CT.01 - Jury for/against an employee staff of Municipality CT.02 - Jury for/against Junior Policemen CT.03 - Jury for/against State Govt officers related to taxation CT.04 - Jury for/against State Govt officers related taxation

5. CT.05 - Jury in courts under Executive such as court of Executive Magistrate, District Magistrate, SSRD etc) 6. 7. 8. CT.06 - Jury in Lower Courts CT.07 - Jury in High Court CT.08 - Jury in Supreme Court

Summary The officers and private citizens in India are supervised by judges who have a tenure of 15-30 years and a term of 2-3 years in a given court. Such a long tenure and term is quite a long time for criminals/lawyers and judges to establish nexuses amongst themselves and benefit at the cost of nation. We, the commons of India, MUST abandon this system for good. Instead, we MUST use a rotating group of 5-10-15 citizens, chosen at random from citizenry to decide upon a case. Unless we use this Jury System in departmental inquiries, quasi-courts and courts, the problem of judgecriminal nexus and judge-lawyer nexus will remain in our courts and will contitue to corrode the nation. Earlier we switch to Jury System, better it is for India.

CRIMES COMMITTED BY LAW COURTS IN INDIA - An appeal to honourable supreme court of india

Indian prisons are meant to be reforming schools for the prisoners. By the corrupt practices of the officials , the prisons have become factories turning out hardened criminals.

Say , a person was caught by police on suspicion of pick-pocketing. The police produce the accussed before the magistrate , in turn he remands him for judicial custody. Let us consider , The punishment for this offence pick-pocketing as per law is 6 months imprisonment. However the case drags on for 3 years , finally the court finds him guilty of offence & orders for 6 months imprisonment. Totally, the offender serves 42 months imprisonment sentence in practice. In some cases , the courts consider the time already spent by the accussed behind the bars while giving judgement. In this example , even if the offender is let free taking 6 months imprisonment sentence, the offender has been given excess sentence of 36-6=30 months.

Taking the same example further, say the court finds the accused as innocent, not guilty of crime & lets him free. However , the poor chap has suffered 36 months imprisonment for no fault of his.

As per law, no body not even the courts of law are legally empowered to punish anybody beyond the legal procedures , rules established. In this way, due to delay in our legal system , faulty bail procedures , thousands of under-trials are suffering in various prisons throught India. Arew not the courts which remanded those accused to judicial custody responsible for this illegal act of excessive punishment ? what punishment should be given to those judges ?

The bail procedure in India , is also faulty without considering quantum of offence &

financial status of the accused. A person accused of stealing rs.100 has to provide bail surety bond of rs.5000 or personal surety by a wealthy person / government servant. The poor person having personal contacts , friendship with rich persons / government servants is quite remote , so he can'nt secure bail on personal bond. The poor chaps family is not rich enough to spend rs.5000 surety amount. As a result, unable to secure bail the poor chap suffers in jail for years.

Say, a rich industrialist is accused of rs.20 crores tax evasion, he is let free on a personal bond of rs.1 lakh. Stamp paper scam kingpin karim lala telgi has swindled government to the tune of thousands of crores of rupees, only few cases are registered against him. That too in one out of those cases involving rs.45 lakh worth stamp sale , judge has given him rigorous imprisonment plus a fine of rs.50000.

Considering the above examples it is quite clear the bail amount, fine amount are peanuts for the rich just a fraction of quantum of their crime , while for the poor it is huge many times more than the quantum of their crime.. it is biased towards rich & mighty criminals. As a result poor always suffers in jail, while rich are out on bail.

Even within prisons , the number of prisoners per sq.ft area , no of doctors , hospital beds , medicines available, weight of food per day given to prisoners , are all less & much below the statuotary limits. The food , health care , living conditions of prisoners , under-trials are worse than pigs. The prison authorities are utterly corrupt, which has been brought into light again & again by the media. If a poor prisoner questions the illegal acts of the officials , he is subjected to 3rd degree torture , roughed up by rowdy prisoners on the instigation of the officials themselves. Many poor prisoners are suffering from health problems , many are dying due to lack of proper health care & food in the prisons.

Whereas , the rich & mighty prisoners , by payting bribe get non-veg , alchoholic drinks from outside restaurants daily. They even secure drugs . they get spacious VIP rooms , television , mobile phones. They easily get parole & easily gets admitted in outside hospitals & roam free , while on record they are in-patients in hospitals.

The law of limitation which stipulates time limits for filing various cases is also biased towards the government as a party & rich , mighty. For the purposes of evidences , filing of cases one needs various government records. The concerned officials don't provide those records for years unless bribed & sit over the files for years. Some times by making absurd , illogical file notings , rejects it back. There is no time limit for the performance of duties by public servants. When a commoner dont get relevant records , files , evidences in time , how can he file cases in time without those records , evidences ?

Nowadays , numerous cases of irregularities , charges of corruption against judges are coming to light. However , in such cases judges are asked to resign from service but no criminal prosecution against them is instituted , only in cases involving lower court judges it is done. When a case of irregularity by a judge in a specific present case comes , there are every possibility that in the past also he has committed the same in cases handled by him which has not come to light. In such instances , all the cases handled by that particular judge throught his career must be reviewed , but is not done why ? does not it amount to cover-ups ?

In many cases the higher courts have turned down the verdicts of the lower courts , let free the innocents , absolved innocents of charges & annulled death sentences when appeals came before them. However , in all such cases , the lower court judges must be punished for giving out wrong judgements, meating out injustice to innocents. Here a fact must be noted , only a fraction of cases goes in appeal to higher courts, as in majority of cases the poor people lack the financial might to make the appeal. The so-called free legal services authority pre-judges the cases before giving legal aid. As a result , many innocents poor people resign to their fates suffer injustice in courts of law , undergo imprisonment punishment , some times even death sentence. So , the urgent need of the hour is to incorporate jury system or some outside monitoring system to review cases as & when decided.

In many cases involving the rich & mighty like telgi , case proceedings are conducted incamera in judge's chambers or proceedings are conducted through video conferencing . outside from public gaze. The tapes are not made public and the public cann't even ascertain the validity of tapes , whether it is edited , doctored .

One of the basic reasons for delayed justice & worse prison conditions in India , is low number of judges , police personnel , higher rate of case adjournments and finally low amount of financial grants made by the government to judicial department / police department. The government states that it doesn't have enough money to provide for judiciary & police. As a result, fundamental / human rights of innocent commoners are thwarted. The state governments & GOI , is one of either parties in 75% of cases before various courts in India, it is the biggest litigant & is influencing the judiciary by controlling the grants , recruitment to judiciary & by enticing some with post-retirement postings.

The government has got money to spend on lavish parties of VVIPs , IAS officers serving non-veg foods , alchoholic drinks . their foreign jaunts , 5-star bungalows , limousines , interior decorations of their bungalows, etc. which is of higher priority , importance , whether the luxury of VVIPs or the fundamental / human rights of commoners ? the courts should answer. The courts have the legal powers to order governments to provide enough financial grants to it , however it is keeping mum , turning blinds eye to crimes of VVIPs. the government rewards such judges with salary hikes , promotions , luxury cars , bungalows , perks and post-retirement postings , sites at judicial lay-out , yelahanka , Bangalore , etc.

We at e-voice have utmost respect for the judiciary , but hereby humbly bringing the crimes of judiciary before the honest few judges seeking justice to the common folk.

POLICE NOT REGISTERING COMPLAINT AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA & OTHERS

From, NAGARAJA.M.R. LIG-2 / 761, HUDCO FIRST STAGE, LAXMIKANTANGAR, HEBBAL, MYSORE - 570017. Through, Honourable DG & IG of Police , State Police H.Q , Bangalore. To, Honourable Circle Inspector of Police, Vijayanagar Police Station, Mysore. Honourable Sir, Subject : Violation of FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS & HUMAN RIGHTS by Honourable Chief Jusice of India & H.E.Honourable President of India & other public servants Karnataka Police are NOT registering & acting on my complaint to them dated 04.07.2009 , 10.12.2004 ,. ETC. A person committing a criminal offense is a CRIMINAL. The Person who aids a criminal in his criminal act , in hiding the criminal act , in destroying the evidences of criminal act is also a CRIMINAL. The

person whose duty is to prevent criminal acts from happening , who intentionally fails in his preventive duties and thereby facilitating the criminal in committing crime is also a CRIMINAL. Information given by government authorities are EVIDENCES , denial of information amounts to hiding of evidence , improper , half truth information given amounts to MANIPULATION & DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCES. In this way many of our public servants including judges & police themselves are criminals , but are not prosecuted by the authorities , why ? Due to delay in giving appropriate information , many crimes have taken place which could have been prevented. As the delay in taking action , giving information / evidence is on the part of government authorities , the issue of TIME BARRED FOR ADMISSABILITY doesnt arise. At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to the honest few public servants in public service including judiciary. However, the corrupt in public service dont deserve respect as individuals as they are parasites in our legal system. Still we respect the chairs they occupy but not the corrupt individuals. All the following articles / issues , whole articles published in the weblinks mentioned below forms part of this appeal. The term JUDGE mentioned throught includes all public servants discharging judicial functions right from taluk magistrates , quasi-judicial officers to Chief Justice of India. Indian Legal / Judicial System is manipulated at various stages & is for sale. It is a SHAME. The persons who raise their voice seeking justice are silenced in many ways. The criminal nexus has already attempted to silence me in many ways . If anything untoward happens to me or to my family members , my dependents , Honourable Chief Justice of India together with jurisdictional police officer will be responsible for it. The Vijayanagar police in mysore stated that they dont have legal jurisdiction to book the criminals I have mentioned in the complaint & by taking a statement from me to that effect closed the case temporarily on 11.09.2010 after sitting over the complaint for years together. Is it not the duty of DG&IGP to seek the permission from home ministry to legally prosecute the alleged criminal VVIPs ? Why he was silent ? Ofcourse the lower rung police officers practically dont have power to prosecute high & mighty ? Hereby , I do request the DG & IG OF Police , Government of Karnataka to seek the legal sanction from union home ministry & Karnataka state home ministry , for the prosecution of below mentioned criminal VVIPs & to reopen my complaint here with. In India , as per constitution of india all citizens are equal , have right to equal oppurtunity & equitable justice irrespective of caste , creed , religion , etc. the constitution has guaranteed these to every Indian citizen by way of CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. Also , every humanbeing on earth has got HUMAN RIGHTS, by virtue of his / her birth. However in india , CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES / PUBLIC SERVANTS have forgotten this & are acting as lords , autocrats - unquestionable public masters. CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES are PUBLIC SERVANTS appointed to serve the public, public are the kings of democracy , they are the taxpayers & paymasters of this very same public servants. In India , corruption has spread its tentacles far & wide , it has not even spared the judiciary. The last resort of commonman for seeking justice is judiciary , even there corruption has spread .In present day India , if one is rich , he can committ any type of crime & get away clean from courts of law. there are corrupt police officials who modify FIR , suppress evidences ,manipulate evidences , takes up different line of investigation , fix innocents , coughs-up false confessions from innocents by 3rd degree torture , file B report closing the case , decides not to appeal in higher court of law , etc , ALL FOR A PRICE. Just see the list of millionnaire police officials who are caught by karnataka lokayukta. Next step , the prosecutor & defense advocate strikes a deal , manipulates evidences , manipulates way of presentation of case & way of argument favouring the rich crooks for a price , as observed in high profile BMW case involving public prosecutor IU KHAN & defense counsel RK ANAND. In this way , if corrupt police & advocates , together manipulate the due process of law , the presiding judge is left high & dry even though the judge is honest, he is left helpless. to add to this , when the judge himself is corrupt , peoples last hope , democracy is dead. Nowadays we are hearing too many reports of irregularities in judiciary. our publication has filed many appeals as PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION before honble supreme court of India but the vested interests there are not accepting it as PILs. WHAT DOES PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION MEANS ? ISSUES WHICH ARE OF PUBLIC CONCERN AFFECTING MANY NUMBER OF PUBLICS. The issues raised by us for sample : 1. sale of fake medicines & adulterated food products , beverages , colas affecting the health of millions of Indians & public of importing nations who are importing the same dangerous products from india . 2. demolition , eviction of houses , lands belonging to poor dalits , tribals , backward castes by government authorities whereas regularising illegal land encroachments , illegal buildings by high & mighty people in total disregard to law. in some cases government has even made contempt of court , by defying court orders & enacting special laws all to favour rich land grabbers. 3. take the cases corporate frauds, violation of labour laws , pollution board laws , tax laws , etc by companies. 4. The reports in media about certain highly placed public servants leaking indias defense secrets to foreign countries & some politicians , film stars attending parties hosted by anti nationals DAWOOD IBRAHIM & underworld dons in gulf countries & elsewhere. these type of appeals are for public good , national security , as public are affected by them. still supreme court of india is not considering our repeated PIL Appeals.the courts have the authority to consider even a post card , e-mail as a PIL Appeal , the courts even have the right to initiate suo-motto action for public good , inspite of absence of any appeals / complaints. over & above this at the time of my very first appeal my income was very low & i was a retrenched factory employee who was eligible for free legal aid, even free legal aid was not given to me. Now , even to my repeated RTI Appeals the Honourable chief justice of India & H.E.Honourable President of India are not giving the requested information . these action of CJI & PRESIDENT OF INDIA is aiding high & mighty criminals , anti nationals , amounts to suppression of information , truth , evidences , which is a cognizable offence.

The strange case against Justice P.D. Dinakaran

DSC_0030

Justice P.D. Dinakaran, the chief justice of the Karnataka High Court, is in the middle of a blazing legal row. The lead story of The Hindu reports that Justice Dinakaran, who is one of five judges recommended for elevation to the Supreme Court, was summoned by the chief justice of India, K.G. Balakrishnan, in connection with allegations made against him by members of the Bar of the Madras High Court of disproportionate assets. Justice P.D. Dinakaran, who was sworn in in August 2008, has reportedly denied the charges, according to CNN-IBN. Below is the full unabridged text of the memorandum sent to the CJI under the auspices of the Madras-based Forum for Judicial Accountability, which details serious charges of land grabbing, corruption, abuse of office and lack of probity against Justice P.D. Dinakaran. churumuri.com has not independently verified the charges nor does it attest to the veracity of the charges or the lack thereof. The memorandum is published here in the public interest given the seriousness of the allegations, and because we believe the memorandum is now a public document, having been brought to the notice of the CJI by such legal luminaries as Ram Jethmalani, Fali S. Nariman and Shanti Bhushan. Our objective is not to cause disrepute to the image of the honourable judge or of the judiciary. To quote from the memorandum: We are doing so only in the larger interests of the institution of the judiciary which is sacred and since the increasing reports against the judge have assumed alarming proportions.

Coming as it does in the middle of a national debate on the disclosure of assets of judges, laffaire P.D. Dinakaran assumes importance, not just in the way the apex court deals with it, but the manner in which the judiciary deals with the media which publishes details of the case. At the same time, the timing raises disturbing questions. Why are the charges surfacing now against a Madras HC judge who is reputed to have disposed 72,795 cases? Is somebody out to get him? If Justice Dinakaran is unsuitable for the Supreme Court, is he suited to continue as the CJ of Karnataka High Court, or even as a Judge? *** 9th September, 2009 To Honble Mr.Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, The Chief Justice of India, Honble Mr.Justice B.N. Agarwal, Honble Mr. Justice S.H. Kapadia, Honble Mr.Justice Tarun Chatterjee, Honble Mr. Justice Altamas Kabir, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi. Sirs, Sub: Representation against Mr. Justice P.D.Dinakaran, Chief Justice, Karnataka High Court, amassing of huge assets, corruption and serious irregularities. As per newspaper reports (The Hindu, dated 28th August 2009) Mr Justice P.D. Dinakaran, presently Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court, has been recommended by the collegium of the Supreme Court to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court. The said judge was a judge of the Madras High Court between 19.12.1996 to 06.08.2008. We, the members of the Bar of the Madras High Court are greatly perturbed by the news of his possible elevation to the Apex Court, in view of disturbing reports that are strong pointers to the abuse of office and lack of probity by Mr Justice P.D. Dinakaran. We bring to your notice several aspects concerning the Judge including (1) huge rural land holdings, illegal appropriation of Government and public land amounting to land-grabbing, illegal constructions, ownership of urban properties, (2) certain inappropriate and startling judicial orders and (3) conduct raising issues of gross impropriety and lack of probity. We feel the materials given below call for a detailed investigation before taking up his case for appointment as a Judge of the highest Court. *** The following are the issues of deep concern: I. Amassing Wealth and Appropriation of Public Property RURAL PROPERTY It is common knowledge in the Bar at Madras that the Judge has acquired vast extents of lands, near his hometown of Arakkonam, Vellore district, and in Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu. The acquisition started before his appointment as a judge of the Madras High Court and is reported to have increased manifold during his tenure as a judge. All these land holdings in the villages are beyond the ceiling limit under the Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling on Land) Act, 1961, as per which a family of five persons can possess not more than 15 standard acres of land. However, more shocking is the unbecoming conduct of the judge in encroaching upon Government lands and public property meant for the villagers, amounting to land-grabbing and depriving the poor of their resources and livelihood. 1. LANDS IN KAVERIRAJAPURAM VILLAGE (440 Acres) (a) In the villages of Kaverirajapuram, Tiruttani taluk, Tiruvallur district; Anaipakkam, Arakkonam taluk, Vellore district; and Mulvoy, Arakknonam taluk, Vellore district, the extent of lands possessed by the judge is approximately 500 acres. Most of the property is in Kaverirajapuram, a village whose population predominantly consists of Dalits, Irulas (scheduled tribes) and most backward classes like Naidus, Boyars and others. The total extent of the village is about 1,700 acres. Annexed to this petition are: (i) A map showing the details of land held and owned by the judge and his family members; and public and Government lands occupied by him, and (ii) Extracts from village A register which provides the classification of land of the relevant survey numbers in the judges occupation, from reliable sources. The current A register reflecting transfer of patta is not accessible. (iii) Photographs showing the naming of the village road leading to his lands which is in Tamil and reads as Emperor of Justice P.D. Dinakaran Road, Kaverirajapuram (translation in English) and the fencing of the land. (iv) Extracts of Revenue Standing Orders on Assignment of Land. (b) In all, the judge is in possession of approximately 440 Acres in Kaverirajapuram village alone, almost one-fourth of the village. Out of this 440 acres: (i) 310.33 acres are patta lands owned by the judge and his family (in his name, his wife Dr Vinodinis name, his two daughters Amudha Porkodi and Amirthra Porkodi, one Cannan and another person; the latter two are reported to be his close relatives). (ii) About 41.27 acres is public land classified as Government poramboke, eri (lake, stream) and other water bodies, pathway and tamarind grove. (iii) About 88.33 acres are classified as Government Anadhinam lands (which can be allotted only to landless poor as per board standing orders of the Tamil Nadu Government). 2. STARTLING MODUS OPERANDI i) Reports are that the patta lands originally belonged to backward and most backward classes. The purchase of lands seems to have started before his appointment as a judge and continued thereafter. ii) Patta lands have been bought in the name of the judge, his wife Dr Vinodini, his unmarried daughters Amudha Porkodi and Amirtha Porkodi, one Cannan and another person, the latter two are reported to be close relatives. Daughter Amudha Porkodi got married recently on 15.12.2008. iii) Vast extents of Government poromboke lands, Government anadhinam lands, waterbodies like lakes, canals, streams, common village pathways and an ancient mud fortress abutting his patta lands were progressively encroached upon. iv) The villagers were then prevented access to these common property resources. Nearly 600 families of Dalits and landless poor in the village are reported to have sought distribution of Government poramboke and anandhinam lands to them as per G.O.(Ms) No.241 dated 12.09.2006 issued by the State Government. They are yet to receive the assignment. v) Immediately thereafter, these common /government lands were fenced in by the judge. There is every possibility that after this representation, the fence around the encroached areas may be removed. But as on today, the fence exists around the Government lands and village common resources, and we write this after some of us personally inspected the fence and the relevant records and maps. The fact remains that the common village lands near the judges property are out of bounds for the villagers. Enquiry reveals that the local police is used to prevent access to the area. iv) The Government anadhinam lands are meant to be assigned only to landless poor for small holdings and personal cultivation as per standing orders of the board of revenue, Tamil Nadu Government. v) The Government poramboke lands also are meant for common enjoyment of the villagers and cannot be occupied by any individual. Under a recent scheme of the State Government, they can be distributed to the landless poor. vi) The water-bodies too are meant only for common enjoyment of the villagers. vii) By erecting a fence the judge has deprived the local villagers access to common property resources of the village, on which many of them depend for their livelihood. viii) The villagers are not able to have access to the water bodies and due to extensive use of water for the judges farm where there are huge fruit orchards and other cultivations, the water source for the village has got depleted. Large bore wells/ open wells are said to have been dug inside the farm. ix) It is reported that the entire village administration and government machinery has been exploited to provide facilities and free labour for the judges property. It is reliably learnt that the judge is attempting to manipulate revenue records to obtain pattas for the public and government lands in his occupation. x) It is an open secret in legal circles that the judicial officers and staff of the judiciary are often asked to supervise and facilitate the maintenance and upkeep of the farm. xi) We have specific reports that anyone who seeks any information like survey numbers and extent regarding even the village common lands and Government lands is intimidated and not provided the information. Villagers are under mortal fear in this regard. xii) Even the village road that leads to the property has been named as Neethi Arasar P.D. Dinakaran Saalai. (Emperor of Justice, P.D. Dinakaran road ) 3. LANDS IN POOVALAI VILLAGE The judge is also reported to possess more than 50 acres of lands with mango orchards in Poovalai Village, Gummidipoondi taluk, Vellore district, Tamil Nadu. He has been seen visiting

the orchard periodically. 4. LAND VALUE The market value of these properties are in the range of about 20-25 lakhs per acre. It appears that the land holding is of an extent of approximately 550 acres. It needs to be ascertained whether the judge has filed returns before the tax authorities in respect of these properties. It also needs to be verified if these disclosures of these assets has been made, and updated, as per the 1997 resolution regarding the declaration of judges assets. *** URBAN PROPERTY i) On the plot bearing Door No.28, East Park Road(junction of Pulla Avenue and East Park street), Shenoy Nagar, Chennai 600 030 allegedly owned by the judge, an office/commercial construction has been put up consisting of stilt plus 5 floors, making it a multi-storeyed building under the development control rules. Having regard to the dimensions of the plot, fire safety requirements, etc, under the development control rules, construction of such a multi-storeyed building is illegal. This is a newly constructed building and he was frequently observed at the site to check the construction. ii) The judge has been observed a number of times to be supervising the construction of a building at J 81, I Main Road, Anna Nagar East, Chennai 600 102. His involvement in this immovable property and source of funding needs to be ascertained. iii) In Arakkonam Town, the residential building Anbagam (a residential building said to be owned by Mr Justice P.D. Dinakaran) was recently renovated. It reportedly encroaches on the main road by 10 feet. *** II. INAPPROPRIATE JUDICIAL ORDERS IN CERTAIN CASES 1. JUDGMENT IN BINNY LTD. Binny Ltd. was a BIFR company but subsequently came out of it. It had extremely valuable immovable properties situated in the heart of the City. These were directed to be auctioned by Justice Dinakaran at 35% of the guideline value. Approximately 1,260 grounds of land (about 70 acres) situated in Perambur was sold to SSI Ltd. for just Rs 66 crore. At that time, the guideline value was almost Rs 180 crore and the actual market value was even higher. The promoters of SSI Ltd who had purchased the land from Binny Ltd were subsequently involved in extensive rigging of their shares. The assessments of these promoters were reopened under Sec 148, Income Tax Act, 1961. It is reported that the demand was to the tune of more than Rs 52 crore. Six writ petitions were filed challenging the reopening of the assessment under Sec 148. The writ petitions were heard by Justice P.D. Dinakaran. The judgment is reported in 279 ITR 679. Justice P.D. Dinakaran falsely stated that a concession was made by the counsel for the Income Tax department. This was objected to by the counsel after receiving the copy of the order. Justice P.D. Dinakaran promised to expunge those sentences that referred to the alleged concession but this was not done. Last week, the writ appeals filed by the department against this order have been allowed by the division bench presided by Justice F.M. Ibrahim Kalifullah. The standing counsel for the Income Tax Department offered to file an affidavit stating that she never conceded and also referred to the oral representation to Justice P.D. Dinakaran. The division bench has allowed the six writ appeals by imposing costs of Rs.10,000 each. 1. On 18-03-2009, the The Times of India, Bangalore edition, carried the following report : CJ leads speedy disposal of bail BANGALORE: In a special drive to prevent pendency of cases, the High Court on Tuesday disposed of numerous bail applications out of around 300 petitions in a record time. Each bail plea was dealt with in about 30 seconds. Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran himself disposed of 46 cases in 20 minutes by granting bail (some conditional) in all of them. The rapid fire sequence went something like this: What is the charge (section)? What stage is the trial? Completed or not? Chargesheet has been filed? Final report submitted. Bail granted. The cases were marginal and some pertain to charges of rape, theft, murder and dacoity including Vasanth Salian, accused in Chemmanur Jewellers dacoity case. The Chief Justice and five judges heard these cases between 4 and 4.45 p.m. The members of the Bangalore Bar state that while minor cases were allocated to the other Judges, the ones posted before Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran included cases of persons charged with serious crimes under the Indian Penal Code and also those who had serious cases filed against them by the Enforcement Department. Bail was granted in all these cases. It is further stated that this was a one-time disposal drive. This matter needs to be investigated to ascertain the names of the accused and the gravity of the offences. 1. Another matter of concern raised by the Bangalore Bar pertains to cases of illegal mining filed against several influential persons. These were transferred from the Dharwad circuit bench which was hearing these matters to the Chief Justices bench. 1. Yet another matter related to the mining lobby which wanted to acquire 540 acres of forest land. The State Government had granted leases in respect of 380 acres of forest land. This was set aside by a single judge of the High Court who pointed out several illegalities on the part of the State Government including that some applicants had filed applications after the date of the opening of the tender. The writ appeal order passed by Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran granted licenses to all the applicants and even increased the area allotted over and above what was granted by the Government. The issues pointed out by the single judge were not dealt with. This is a matter which has greatly agitated the Bangalore Bar. III. Number Plate of Chief Justice P.D. Dinakarans Car Contrary to Motor Vehicles Act Chief Justice P.D.Dinakaran, known to misuse office to exhibit pomp and grandeur, had the number plate of his official car (KA-03-GA-5767) done up in red background with gold embossed letters. This is permitted under the motor vehicles rules only for the President of India and State Governors. Even the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of India cannot use such a number plate. There were adverse news reports in leading newspapers on this issue (Mid-Day dated 29.06.2009). *** Our Appeal We are greatly saddened that we are forced to impugn the conduct of a holder of high judicial office; we are doing so only in the larger interests of the institution of the judiciary which is sacred and since the increasing reports against the judge have assumed alarming proportions. Conscious of our responsibility not to lightly bring any judge to disrepute, we have exercised due diligence to verify the allegations to the best of the means available to us, including visits to some of the concerned properties. However as private citizens and members of the Bar we have severe limitations to call for information and to investigate these matters. In fact there are reports against Mr. Justice P.D. Dinakaran of irregular acquisition of properties elsewhere, permitting illegal appointments, favouritism and other improprieties in the discharge of judicial and administrative functions as a judge of the High Court. The information we have gathered so far is reliable and does not permit us to let it pass without calling for urgent attention and appropriate action by the Supreme Court and other Constitutional functionaries. We also wish to convey the fear expressed by the villagers in Kaverirajapuram, all of whom are greatly apprehensive of the severe reprisals and consequences if they speak out. In fact, after speaking to them we ourselves are greatly anxious for their safety. It also is evident that the entire administrative machinery has been intimidated by the judge, as no official is willing to respond to any queries regarding the village properties, including innocuous questions like details about government lands. The allegations set out above are strongly suggestive of abuse of office and corruption amounting to grave judicial misconduct. As the matter involves the head of the State judiciary in Karnataka, it is one of immense gravity and calls for immediate investigation and action. When a judges reputation is clouded in such adverse reports, his elevation to the highest Court of our country portends grave consequences for the judiciary itself. This case also exposes the shortcomings of the present procedure adopted for choosing judges for appointment to the higher judiciary and underscores the urgent need to put in place a judicial commission which will have a more democratic and transparent functioning to enable the choice of persons of impeccable integrity and calibre to dispense justice. We, as responsible members of the Bar, duty bound to safeguard the independence of the Judiciary, feel impelled in these circumstances to request you (i) not to appoint Mr.Justice P.D. Dinakaran as judge of the Supreme Court of India; and (ii) initiate a thorough enquiry into all the allegations against Mr Justice P.D.Dinakaran, Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court and take appropriate action thereafter. We request you to act on our representation in public interest, as otherwise the confidence of the public in the majesty of law will be shaken. Yours truly R. Vaigai, Sriram Panchu, K.R. Tamizhmani, Anna Mathew, S.S. Vasudevan, Geetha Ramaseshan, Sudha Ramalingam, N.L. Rajah, D. Nagasaila, S. Devikarani, T. Mohan

To, Honourable Chief Justice of India , c/o Registrar, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi.

Honourable sir ,

Subject : - PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus

LITMUS TEST for HONESTY of SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

AKRAMA SAKRAMA / REGULARISATION OF ILLEGAL LAND ENCROACHMENTS ILLEGAL LAND CONSTRUCTIONS BUILDING BYE-LAW VIOLATIONS KIADB de-notification scandal , BMIC NICE SCANDAL , MINING SCANDALS and Threats to RTI Applicant

Rich builders , crooks in their greed for more money ( knowing fully well the illegalities ) have constructed buildings on public land , constructed buildings violating the building bye-laws. Now , those crooks are earning lakhs of rupees rental income . The government law enforcement agencies were mum , didnt demolish such buildings in time , allowing time for crooks to benefit from anticipated regularisation. However the same government agencies have not shown kind consideration to poor people who have constructed temporary hutments on public land . Those hutments were immediately demolished & people evicted.

These building bye-law violators , Land grabbers are not poor people living below poverty line earning only rupees 32 per day as per planning commission of india. These rich crooks dont deserve sympathy , kind consideration as they have committed the crime knowing fully well the illegalities and they can bear the loss due to the demolition of their illegal buildings. The government must also recover rent & other monetary gains made out of those illegal buildings by the builder.

The recent move of Government of Karnataka to regularize building bye-law violations & Public Land Grabbers amounts to : 1. 2. 3. 4. Rewards for illegalities , crimes if one is rich. Punishes , demotivates honest law abiding citizens. Double standards in law one set for rich & one set for the poor. Total disregard to safety of people in those illegal buildings .

5. Total disregard to safety of people in the neighbourhood and people using roads passing by those illegal buildings.

Judicial Layout Site Allotment BRIBE TO JUDGES ?

Is the allotment of residential plots to Judges @ yelahanka Judicial Layout , a mode of paying bribe to judges by the biggest litigant government itself & the corrupt public servants in the government. So that the government can pass illegal laws like Regularization of Illegal Buildings , Illegal Appointments to Medical colleges in Hassan , Mysore ,etc & ministers , IAS officers can indulge in illegal unconstitutional acts , but the courts will not take any appropriate action suo motto or based on any petition. IT IS MUTUAL HELP , NEXUS OF TWO CRIMINALS JUDICIARY & GOVERNMENT. Ofcourse , there are honest few exceptions in judiciary & government. We Respect those honest few.

Just months back , we have witnessed the collapse of a multi storied building in bellary ,Karnataka & we have witnessed a fire tragedy in a multi-storey building in Bangalore, months ago there was collapse of a huge building under construction in Bangalore , all resulting in loss of human lives. Recently we have seen de-notification scam involving VVIPs . All these are the result of violations of Urban Town Planning Laws , Building bye-laws which are observed more in breach by the criminals & conniving public servants . The authorities are behaving like real estate agents of criminals , by-passing norms , framing laws to the tune of criminals . Authorities are not honoring RTI requests & even high ranking IAS officer repeatedly threatens a commoner seeking information under RTI ACT .

Before embarking on land acquisition for any projects government authorities must plan & assess what are the actual requirement of land for that particular project. After finding out the actual requirement of land , they must assess the loss of forest area , cost of compensation pay-out , cost of rehabilitation of people , environmental damages & resultant health damages to people in surrounding areas ,its resultant losses when the project gets running , if at all the benefits , profits from that project far outweighs the losses ,then only project should be put before the public for their consent. Ministers & IAS officers must not take these decisions all by themselves in a hush hush manner.

Even when a project is downsized , from the previously approved size , the land left over , surplus land must be given back to the original owner on first priority . The project managers must not sell those surplus lands to third parties for a premium . Even when KIADB ,BDA ,MUDA & other authorities acquire lands from farmers ,for constructing industrial parks or residential layouts , etc , has framed comprehensive development plans (CDP) for their respective cities , clearly demarcating land usage pattern . However after acquisition of land , the KIADB , BDA , MUDA , etc are selling those very lands to private third parties for different land usage purposes ,completely violating CDP. Are these KIADB , BDA , BBMP , MUDA ,MCC real estate agents of Rich people ?

Now , consider NICE BMIC SCANDAL or MINING Scandals , public servants in responsible positions are accusing each other , there by proving that almost all of them are criminals. In democracy , ministers & IAS officers are public servants , MLAs , MPs are not leaders just public servants - representative of people. They must represent peoples wishes & must order the IAS & other officers to fulfil the wishes of people as per legal provisions. Information input forms part of process of one's expression. One's expression in any forms written , oral , etc becomes information input to the opposite person , in turn he expresses his reply. Information & Expression are inseparable parts & form lifeline of a democracy. That is the reason , Right to Expression is the basic fundamental right as well as human right of every Indian citizen. When a person's right to expression is violated , his other rights to equality , justice , etc also are violated. Suppression of Information amounts to curbing of Expression.

In a democracy , people have a right to know how the public servants are functioning. However till date public servants are hiding behind the veil of Officials Secrets Act (which is of british vintage created by british to suppress native indians).

Editorial : PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus - No JAIL for Criminal Judges & Criminal Police ?

We salute our freedom fighters , military personnel & martyrs for all the sacrifices made by them. Let us build a strong , Secular , Democratic India by getting rid off few corrupt elements , anti nationals , traitors among public servants , among judiciary & among police who are greater threat to Indias unity & integrity than Pakistani terrorists or chinese military.

Information input forms part of process of ones expression. Ones expression in any forms written , oral , etc becomes information input to the opposite person , in turn he expresses his reply. Information & Expression are inseparable parts & form lifeline of a democracy. That is the reason , Right to Expression is the basic fundamental right as well as human right of every Indian citizen. When a persons right to expression is violated , his other rights to equality , justice , etc also are violated. Suppression of Information amounts to curbing of Expression.

In a democracy , people have a right to know how the public servants are functioning. However till date public servants are hiding behind the veil of Officials Secrets Act (which is of british vintage created by british to suppress native indians). By this cover-up public servants are hiding their own corruption , crimes , mismanagement , failures , etc. even RTI Act is not being followed intoto by public servants. However the recent delhi high court ruling affirming that CJI is under RTI purview & bound to answer RTI request , is noteworthy.

Our previous RTI request to CJI , union home secretary of GOI, President of India , DG & IGP of GOK and others were not honored. The information I sought were answers to the following questions mentioned in the below mentioned websites . the questions concerned the past , present continuing injustices meted out to millions of Indian citizens , due to wrong / illegal work practices of Indian judges , police & public servants . The information we sought would expose the traitors , anti-nationals , criminals in public service. The information we are seeking are no defense secrets , no national secrets. The truthful information exposes the anti-nationals , traitors in the public service & strengthens our national security , national unity & integrity.

Hereby , i do request the honourable supreme court of india , for a Supreme Court monitored CBI Enquiry into this whole issue as karnataka police are helpless , they don't have legal powers to prosecute high & mighty , constitutional functionaries. They have not even enquired the guilty VVIPs even once however Under pressure from higher-ups they repeatedly called me the complainant to police station took statements from me all for closing the files.

Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : writ of Mandamus and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions.

As the trial court Judges cross verify the antecedents , history of the parties in a case to ascertain partys honesty , integrity , as the investigating police officers cross check the antecedents , history of a complainant / accussed / witnesses to ascertain their honesty , integrity of the accussed / complainant , in the same way the parties in a case , as complainant / accussed / witnesses have a right to ascertain the integrity , honesty of the trial court judge & investigating police officers to ensure they are not biased and provide a fair , level ground. JAI HIND. VANDE MATARAM.

Yours sincerely , Nagaraj.M.R.

Please refer my appeal for justice through DARPG ; DLGLA/E/2013/00292 DEPOJ/E/2013/00679

In india democracy is a farce , freedom a mirage. the most basic freedom RIGHT TO INFORMATION & EXPRESSION , is not honoured by the government,as the information opens up the crimes of V.V.I.Ps & leads to their ill-gotten wealth. The public servants are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them. these type of fat cats , parasites are a drain on the public exchequer . these people want ,wish me to see dead , wish to see HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH closed . so that, a voice against injustices is silenced forever , the crimes of V.V.I.Ps closed , buried forever. To my numerous appeals , HRWs appeals to you ,you have not yet replied. It clearly shows that you are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them .it proves that you are hell bent to protect the criminals at any cost. you are just pressurising the police to enquire me ,to take my statement, to repeatedly call me to police station all with a view to silence me.all of you enjoy legal immunity privileges ,why dont you have given powers to the police / investigating officer to summon all of you for enquiry ?or else why dont all of you are not appearing before the police voluntarily for enquiry ?at the least why dont all of you are not sending your statement about the case to the police either through legal counsel or through post? you are aiding criminals ,by denying me job oppurtunities in R.B.I CURRENCY NOTE PRESS mysore , city civil court ,bangalore , distict court , mysore ,etc & by illegally closing my newspaper. there is a gross, total mismatch between your actions and your oath of office. this amounts to public cheating & moral turpitude on your part. 1.you are making contempt of the very august office you hold. 2.you are making contempt of the constitution of india. 3.you are making contempt of citizens of india. 4.you are sponsoring & aiding terorrism & organized crime. 5.you are violating the fundamental & human rights of the citizens of india and of neighbouring countries. 6.you are violating & making contempt of the U.N HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER to which india is a signatory. 7.you are obstructing me from performing my fundamental duties as a citizen of india. 8. As a result of your gross negligence of constitutional duties you have caused me damages / losses to the tune of RUPEES TWO CRORE ONLY. you are hereby called upon to Pay damages to me and SHOW-CAUSE within 30 days , why you cannt be legally prosecuted for the above mentioned crimes .

If i am repeatedly called to police station or else where for the sake of investigations , the losses i do incurr as a result like loss of wages , transportation , job , etc must be borne by the government. prevoiusly the police / IB personnel repeatedly called me the complainant (sufferer of injustices) to police station for questioning , but never called the guilty culprits even once to police station for questioning , as the culprits are high & mighty . this type of one sided questioning must not be done by police or investigating agencies . if anything untoward happens to me or to my family members like loss of job , meeting with hit & run accidents , loss of lives , etc , the jurisdictional police together with above mentioned accussed public servants will be responsible for it. Even if criminal nexus levels fake charges , police file fake cases against me or my dependents to silence me , this complaint is & will be effective. if anything untoward happens to me or my dependents , the government of india is liable to pay Rs. TWO crore as compensation to survivors of my family. if my whole family is eliminated by the criminal nexus ,then that compensation money must be donated to Indian Army Welfare Fund. afterwards , the money must be recovered by GOI as land arrears from the salary , pension , property , etc of guilty judges , police officials , public servants & Constitutional fuctionaries. Thanking you. Jai Hind , Vande Mataram.

Judicial Layout Site Allotment BRIBE TO JUDGES ?

Is the allotment of residential plots to Judges @ yelahanka Judicial Layout , a mode of paying bribe to judges by the biggest litigant government itself & the corrupt public servants in the government. So that the government can pass illegal laws like Regularization of Illegal Buildings , Illegal Appointments to Medical colleges in Hassan , Mysore ,etc & ministers , IAS officers can indulge in illegal unconstitutional acts , but the courts will not take any appropriate action suo motto or based on any petition. IT IS MUTUAL HELP , NEXUS OF TWO CRIMINALS JUDICIARY & GOVERNMENT. Ofcourse , there are honest few exceptions in judiciary & government. We Respect those honest few.

Bylaw deviations to be regularised

The Governors green signal to the Akrama Sakrama Bill may bring cheer to thousands of property owners in the city. The property owners may now be able to regularise their building byelaw deviations, specifically deviations in setback and floor area ratio. As per the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP) And Certain Other Laws (Amendment) Act, 2009, and the amended Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, residential property owners will be able to regularise deviations up to a maximum of 50 per cent and for the commercial buildings, the maximum deviations allowed is up to 25 per cent. This will apply to buildings constructed before December 3, 2009. Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) M. Lakshminarayan told The Hindu that around 80 per cent of the 16 lakh properties in the city have one or the other form of deviation. He said that the building byelaw violations are common and most citizens deviate from the sanctioned plan. This could be for a variety of reasons, including vaastu. The BBMP only allows five per cent violations. He said that the largest beneficiaries of this scheme will be large apartment complexes and big commercial buildings, who have accrued the violations. Individual, small property owners may not be in large numbers, neither will the deviations be huge. Mr. Laskhminarayan said the BBMP had not yet assessed the revenue that it will get from this one-time payment to regularise their deviations. However, the BBMP will not compromise on safety aspects. Regularisation of deviations will be done only if there is a full compliance of safety norms.

Regularisation of unauthorised buildings in government land on cards

BANGALORE: Karnataka government has planned to introduce an amendment to the Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1964, to regularise unauthorised constructions of dwelling houses in government lands in urban areas, official sources said. The amendment Bill would seek to insert a new section 94 CC in the Act, providing for grant of land in the case of unauthorised construction of dwelling houses in government land in urban areas. Governor H R Bhardwaj had returned the Karnataka Land Revenue (Second Amendment) Bill, 2012, passed in both the Houses of the Legislature during the previous BJP government on the ground that "the amendment does not serve any public good or social cause. On the other hand, it may lead to illegal grabbing of government land." A team of advocates is studying the points raised by the Governor. Keeping in mind public interest, the government would draft the Bill again and introduce it in the Assembly. Regularisation of constructions on government/revenue lands would benefit lakhs of households in Bangalore. The proposed legislation is aimed at regularising unauthorised occupation of revenue land belonging to government in urban areas with dwelling houses constructed, by granting the land to unauthorised occupants, the sources said.

Akrama-Sakrama sees a comeback

It has been almost a decade since different political parties promised regularisation of unauthorised development and constructions in urban areas, including Bangalore city which has the maximum number of such structures, through a scheme popularly known as AkramaSakrama. And in 2007, the then Janata Dal(S)-Bharatiya Janata Party government made a little progress on this promise by enacting the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP) and certain others (Amendment) Act, 2004 in giving 90 days for regularisation of four types of irregularities. Following this, the Akrama-Sakrama scheme was launched in September 2007 after rules, fixing fees for regularisation, depending upon type of violation, were framed. Then, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), with much fanfare, issued a booklet with application forms for regularising four types of irregularities plot in unauthorised layout/sub-divided land; building with land use violation; set back violation (up to 50 per cent for residential and 25 per cent for commercial); and floor area violation between September 15 and December 14, 2007. However, the scheme was put on hold after the owners of unauthorised structures/sites rose in protest, terming the regularisation fee as exorbitant, and the government agreed to revise the fee. At the same time, the Karnataka High Court was moved by some citizens questioning the legality of the scheme, while a few property owners questioned the high fee. Meanwhile, the BBMP refunded about Rs. 28 crore collected from about 4,000 applicants. Later, the BJP government during 2008-10, approved an Ordinance initially and later passed an amended Bill to facilitate re-launching of Akrama-Sakrama scheme while reducing the regularisation fee by about 50 per cent. But, both the attempts were shot down by Governor H.R. Bhardwaj who said that the challenge to the 2007 amendment was pending before the High Court. It is election time again and some political parties have revived their promise on the issue. While the Janata Dal(S) has made a categorical promise to implement the scheme in its manifesto, the BJP has given an assurance to issue khatas for revenue site owners, besides legalising illegal occupancy of buildings in towns and cities. However, the Congress manifesto is silent on this issue. But a cross section of residents and legal experts say that the aim of such schemes should be to prevent recurrence of such illegality in future while regularising the existing violations as a onetime measure. But unfortunately, the sole objective of the scheme is to make it a revenue generator for taking up development works as promised by the parties in their manifestos. In the process, the property owners are painted as law-breakers, though the politically well-connected developers are responsible as they are on the ones who formed these unauthorised layouts and sold the sites to the gullible buyers. Why should only the purchasers of land pay penalties? Why is no penalty levied on developers who actually violated the law while forming layouts, and the officials who

did not stop illegal formation of layouts and failed to protect the interest of the purchasers of sites, said Ramesh K, a resident of Sai Layout. He also said that even banks had failed to protect the interest of borrowers as many people had purchased sites only after banks approved loan following a perusal of land documents. Col. (Retd.) Mathew Thomas, a citizen activist, says that Supreme Courts 2006 guideline on preventing illegal land use in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi area would be the best example to implement in Bangalore as it does not allow use of illegally built commercial structure in a residential area. As far as formation of unauthorised layouts are concerned, it is the developers of these layouts and the officials who deserve more penalty, though buyers too have to legally own up responsibility, says Col. Mathew. As many politicians themselves are into land development business, will the political parties that promise regularisation show courage to make these developers pay up for the illegality, asks C. Sudhakar, a legal consultant. He stressed the need for a transparent mechanism where citizens can buy sites or apartment without fearing of getting branded as a resident of unauthorised layout/apartment.

Bangalore Rural DC Aiyappa, three revenue officials held BANGALORE: Lokayukta police have arrested Bangalore Rural district deputy commissioner MK Aiyappa, a special tahsildar, a revenue inspector and a sub-registrar for allegedly changing records pertaining to 32 acres of land in Survey No. 62 of Madappanahalli, near Yelahanka. Lokayukta additional director general of police HNS Rao said they registered a case against 15 persons, including IAS officer Aiyappa (then Bangalore Urban deputy commissioner), special tahsildar (Bangalore North) K Gopalaswamy, revenue inspector N Balakrishnamurthy of Arakere circle, Hesaraghatta, and sub-registrar (Hesaraghatta) KV Ravi Kumar. The arrested officials were produced in the Lokayukta court, which remanded them to a day in police custody. The Lokayukta court had on November 5 last year ordered that a case be filed under Sections 13 (1)( c), (d), (e) and 13(2) read with Section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act as well as criminal Sections 406, 409, 420, 426, 463, 468, 471, 474 read with Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy). The Lokayukta court order followed a private complaint by P Anil Kumar, a resident of Hesaraghatta. Preliminary investigation revealed the land was gomala land (common property resource used for livestock grazing), but a person named Narasimhaiah claimed ownership of all the 32 acres. Records were created and the land restored to him, but the then revenue inspector restored the title to the government. Even as the legal dispute was pending, the land was purchased by private individuals. The Hesaraghatta sub-registrar registered the land in their names in 2009. "The present rate for the land is about Rs 60 crore. Bigwigs named in the complaint will be questioned, including the purchasers. Everything is on record, and nobody can deny their responsibility in taking away government land and restoring it to private individuals," a Lokayukta police official privy to the investigation told TOI. There will be some more arrests, he added, as there's ample documentary evidence and other witness accounts available.

Save Hebbal Lake Save BEML Quarters Lake in Mysore An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court of India

In the past , Mysore Maharaja & other philanthropists have donated their personal lands , properties , built many lakes & ponds in mysore , bangalore and other places with public concern , public wellbeing in their mind . They built these lakes & ponds in addition to preserving the natural lakes & ponds. They knew about the importance of ecological balance & environment. The present rulers , IAS & KAS babus have even failed to preserve the lakes & ponds built decades ago , let alone build one. These Public servants have extended their tacit support to building mafia , to kill these lakes & ponds , to fill those lakes with industrial effluents , sewage & building mud wastes. After killing those lakes & ponds , the building mafia encroaches on it & usurps that public property in turn selling it for crores of rupees.

In this way , Hootagalli lake was killed & encroached by Kaynes Hotel ( now silent shores hotel) , Hebbal Lake is being killed & encroached from all sides by industries and the lake infront of BEML Quarters is being killed & land demarcation for selling those land has already begun.

The public servants were totally indifferent towards public outcry against this . The IAS & KAS babus who are also magistrates with judicial authority have failed in preserving these lakes & ponds inspite of appeals to them. These death of lakes resulting in their encroachments could have been prevented earlier by DC , Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officers. Even I have appealed to them through my web news paper , they didnt take action at all. I have made RTI request to those authorities to give me information regarding status of those lakes years ago , fearing truth will come out they didnt answer my questions in full , they only gave half truths. When I persisted with my RTI request the Mysore District Magistrate at that time Mr. P.Manivannan repeatedly called me over phone , abused me & threatened me . Even threats were made by some policemen in mufti . Finally that lake land was allotted to a person supposed to be close to the Industries minister at that time. The courts are dispassionate & inhuman , while passing eviction orders against poor people , the police are full of guts & show their full bravery , valour against these poor land encroachers. Fine , let us appreciate their duty consciousness . However rich & well connected criminals have illegally encroached upon public lands , the same courts and police are not taking appropriate action inspite of repeated appeals , why ? Even the Supreme Court of India & Police are Weak & Meek before Land Mafia. Dont the same Judges & Police have Guts , Bravery , Duty Consciousness & Integrity to take action against such rich land grabbers ? The answer lies in the following articles. Once again we offer our conditional services to Supreme Court of India , to legally apprehend criminals while the respective public servants have failed to do the same.

Hereby , we request the honourable Supreme Court of India , 1. To initiate criminal prosecution against Mysore district magistrate , Mysore taluk magistrate , MUDA Commissioner , Jurisdictional Police Officers & KIADB Officer , for making contempt of Supreme Court of India Order applying throughout india to preserve lakes & ponds. 2. 3. To evict all encroachers forth with . To immediately stop all flow of industrial effluents & sewage to these lakes & ponds.

4. To initiate criminal prosecution against encroachers of these lakes & pollters , killers of these lakes. 5. To preserve the said lakes & ponds , by recovering cost from encroachers , polluting industries and the co-conspirators Mysore DC , Mysore Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner , KIADB Officer & Jurisdictional Police Officers. 6. To protect me , my family members & dependents from land mafia & co-conspirators of the crime. 7. To order , to issue Writ of Mandamus to Mysore District Magistrate , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officer to disclose all the information sought by me in my RTI request publicly. The copy of my RTI request is reproduced below.

Illogical land laws fostering mafia, says High Court judge

Acting Chief Justice of High Court of Karnataka, Justice K Sreedhar Rao on Saturday said lack of logic in several laws, including land reforms and acquisition laws, is encouraging land mafia, especially in urban centres. The existing Land Acquisition Act is the greatest enemy of the common man. We have only encouraged land mafia through legislation, he said, while addressing the National Consultation on Urban Poor and the Law, organised by National Law School of India University (NLSIU) here. Justice Rao said laws related to land need an overhaul, to ensure owners of the land get a share of development. The growth of real estate mafias and skyrocketing property prices hindered average income earners from purchasing property. By creating mega cities, we have done a great damage to the country, he added. Justice Rao said various governments have failed to develop district and taluk head quarters as a result of which we are not able to prevent migration to cities. Bangalore has developed as a cancerous slum. The urban areas are not having the infrastructure or facilities to deal with this massive population inflow, he said. The judge also pointed out that the zoning laws often allow arbitrary classifications without taking into account the real situations on ground. P K Mohanty, Additional Secretary, Union Ministry of Housing and Poverty Alleviation, said the proposed law for property rights for urban poor, to ensure spaces for street vendors, was under consideration and it would be soon placed before the Parliament. A major issue that needs to be addressed is residency rights of urban poor in the context of vulnerabilities that they face. Though several governmental programmes, specially JNNURM were designed for this purpose, there was a lack of sufficient response from the States to avail the funds and use them in time, he said.

BMTF proposes, government disposes

Siddaiah was brought back to BBMP despite request for his suspension for his role in DLF case Senior IAS officer H. Siddaiah, who returned as Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner for a second stint, has come under the scanner of the Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) as a suspect officer for his alleged role in the DLF case. The BMTF, probing the DLF scam that involved illegal widening of a road to facilitate an increase in the floor area ratio (FAR) of an apartment complex, had named Mr. Siddaiah, his predecessor Bharat Lal Meena, besides the former Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Commissioner Pradeep Singh Kharola among the three IAS officers whose role had surfaced during its investigation based on oral and documentary evidence. BMTF letter In a letter to Chief Secretary S.V. Ranganath, dated November 29, 2012, the BMTF had sought to place under suspension these three officials, besides 23 others of the BDA and BBMP, to facilitate fair probe. However, the government chose to ignore the BMTFs recommendation and brought Mr. Siddaiah back to the BBMP from the Higher Education Department where he was serving as Principal Secretary, thus replacing Commissioner Rajneesh Goel. The report also names several senior officials of the BBMP and the BDA as suspect officials for having allegedly colluded to allow the DLF to up the FAR for its projects, violating BBMP bylaws and BDAs master plan. Charge against Shettar Meanwhile, RTI activist Dinesh Kallahalli accused Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar of trying to hush up the matter by bringing back the same suspect officials. He plans to seekGovernor H.R. Bhardwajs intervention in the matter as the Chief Minister was involved. Speaking at a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Kallahalli said Tirakana Goudar, Town Planning Member (TPM) in the BDA, who was reinstated to his post while he was out on bail, was also being favoured by the Chief Minister. DLF violations The BMTF has arrested Mr. Goudar, who was charged with helping DLF Southern Homes legalise construction beyond what was permitted on a civic amenity (CA) site. He was accused of approving the widening of the Hulimavu-Begur Road to legalise DLF Southern Homes illegal construction. DLF constructed 1,962 flats instead of the 440 for which they had taken permission. We are not even able to get documents under the Right to Information Act. We want the Governor to intervene, Mr. Kallahalli said.

LAND SCAM IN TAMILNADU One for my officer, one for my boy

Land and property are coveted assets. So why are chief ministers allowed to give these away as favours? JEEMON JACOB tracks how Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has been using his quotas IN NOVEMBER, Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa almost lost his job, due to the uproar over ILLUSTRATION: ANAND NAOREM preferential allotment of land and property to his sons and close associates. He has since cancelled the allotments, asked his children to move out of his official residence, and retained his seat through some deft political manoeuvring and muscle-flexing. At the height of the campaign against him, as political opponents paraded on apparent moral high ground, TEHELKA published details of plots similarly allotted by previous Karnataka chief ministers, both of the Congress and the JD(S), to relatives, servants, drivers, maids and partymen (LAND SCAM 2.0, 4 December). The purpose was not to make Yeddyurappas wrongdoings look less shocking, but to show that the problem was endemic and needed rooting out. The right given to chief ministers to hand out public land to a favoured few relatives, bureaucrats, judges, police officers and others smacks of nepotism and arbitrary feudal power structures that should have no place in a modern democracy. (Though there is no immediate proof of this, some of these allotments could also be benamitransactions, in which the ultimate ownership remains with the distributor of the largesse, camouflaged by a stack of fake documents.) This power euphemistically called discretionary quota has even been used to favour allegedly corrupt army officers like General Deepak Kapoor (AT EASE WITH GREASE, TEHELKA, 20 November), who was given a large 500 sq yd plot in Haryana by the Hooda government, which then faced the embarrassment of refusing him permission to sell it off before five years had elapsed, as per rules. The plot was given to him by the government as preferential allotment in recognition for his outstanding achievement. This week, continuing its campaign against out-of-turn allotments of land and property, TEHELKA has an expos on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) which commands a large land bank, has a government discretionary quota (GDQ) under which 15 percent of all allotments can be recommended by the CM. Eligibility for allotment under GDQ is as follows: single/deserted women; widows; social workers; physically handicapped persons; defence personnel; ex-servicemen; eminent persons in the field of science, arts, literature, economics, public administration and sports; freedom fighters; government servants with unblemished service records; employees of PSUs, central government undertakings and nationalised banks; PF institutions; journalists; university staff; and employees of local bodies and municipalities. While some of these categories sound kosher, most of them raise a fundamental question: why should the government have the power to give coveted land to select employees and journalists over others? The only rationale could be proximity which is an untenable reason for being the beneficiary of political favours, often worth several crores. Setting this aside, even within the legal ambit of the GDQ, TEHELKAs investigation shows that many of the allotments in Karunanidhis tenure have violated the rule book. Many bureaucrats and their relatives have been given plots or flats under the category of social worker. Some of these last did social work when they were in college; many of them claim to be volunteers in such routine activity as helping in blood donation or eye camps. Many have issued certificates to themselves; some have acquired letters from the Lions and Rotary Clubs with vague endorsements. In other violations, the rules say that no one who has any other land or property in Tamil Nadu or any other capital city, in either their own or spouse or minor childrens name, can apply for GDQ allotments. TEHELKA found this is routinely violated. Many of the allottees issued certificates to themselves, while some got letters from Lions and Rotary Clubs The other brazen violation lies in the claim of unblemished service records as a qualification for allotment. When RTI activist V Gopalakrishnan sought a list of such bureaucrats, Additional Secretary S Solomon Raj said, As no unblemished government servant certificates are issued, the question of furnishing a list of names does not arise. The additional secretary also clarified that the home department didnt have such a list. This is the phantom category under which many public servants like Jaffar Sait, 1986 batch IPS officer, now Inspector General of Police Intelligence, got large allotments of land in prime locations. Why them more than hundreds of others? Thats a democratic question the chief minister will have to answer.

jee@gmail.com Legal Largesse R Bhanumathi Serving Judge, Madras High Court FLAT NOS: MIG 249-250, SHOLINGANALLUR PHASE III, CHENNAI DATE: 30 MARCH 2008 SIZE: 120 SQ M & 139 SQ M PRICE: Rs. 27.55 LAKH & Rs. 30.05 LAKH CURRENT MARKET PRICE: NA VIOLATIONS The judge was allotted two adjoining plots on the same day (30 March 2008). According to her Disclosure of Assets statement of 2009, the judge already had a house in her name, and another plot in her husband, advocate K Ganesans name. The house, in the Uthangarai area of Krishnagiri district, was constructed in 1985 on a plot purchased in 1982. The plot of land is located in Saidapet and was purchased in 1993. She however admits in her declaration that she owns two plots, which she purchased from the TN Housing Board in 2008. But this allocation was made under the General Category. Since judges do not come under any of the quota categories, the governments way of allotting land to them differs from the rest. Judges are informed about the availability of land. And when they apply for the same, the government facilitates the allotment. K Raviraja Pandian Retired Justice, Madras High Court PLOT NO: B2/5, THIRUVANMIYUR EXTENSION DATE: 11 NOVEMBER 2009 SIZE: 3,117 SQ FT PRICE: Rs. 68.54 LAKH CURRENT MARKET PRICE: Rs. 3.2 CRORE VIOLATIONS Close relative of DMK supremo Karunanidhi and the Chairman of the School Fee Determination Committee. Little wonder then he was also the recipient of special favours while he was still a serving judge. At the time of the allotment, the judge owned a 50 percent share in an ancestral house at Thiruveezhimizhalai village. The judge had also sold a property he owned at Pazhavatthankattali village near Kumbakonam. The land was purchased in 1991, a house was constructed on it in 1992 and sold in 2009.

Bureaucratic Bonanza Jaffar Sait IGP-Intelligence FLAT NOS: 540, THIRUVANMIYUR, KAMARAJ NAGAR DATE: 23 APRIL 2008 SIZE: 4,756 SQ FT PRICE: Rs. 1.26 CRORE CURRENT MARKET PRICE: Rs. 6 CRORE VIOLATIONS Allotted under unblemished government servant category. On 6 June 2008, the government transferred the ownership of the plot to his daughter Jennifer Jaffar, then a student. Jennifer made two payments of Rs. 46.03 lakh and Rs.1.73 lakh towards cost of the plot. In February 2009, she paid another Rs.60 lakh. After having paid Rs.1.07 crore, the ownership of plot was transferred to her mother Parvin Jaffar. Interestingly, Parvin also made the payment all over again. In October 2009, she paid Rs. 50.64 lakh and then again in November 2009, another Rs. 25 lakh was deposited. A further payment of Rs. 51.5 lakh in the same month was made. Income tax officials feel the Sait family made the double payment to avoid an IT investigation on Jennifer, who would not have been able to show any source of income. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board then returned the original amount paid by Jennifer. Now, Parvin in collaboration with Durga Sankar, son of an IAS officer, has commissioned a builder to construct a multi-storey complex in which 12 flats have already been built. Each flat is expected to fetch an estimated 1 crore. So, by paying Rs. 1.26 crore in 2009, the IGPs family made a profit of more than Rs. 5.7 crore.

Jaffar Sait, IPS, IG-Intelligence Government agencies have already probed the matter. I am being governed by the conduct rules, so I should not talk to you about the issue. It is advisable that you seek a response from the Tamil Nadu government. I would like to add that if any defamation or liability arises out of your article, necessary legal action would be taken. P Moorthy, Madurai MLA I dont know much about the certificate, I think I got the plot because Im an MLA. I have done a lot of work in uplifting the people in villages of my constituency. That amounts to social work. I dont need a social work certificate from the Lions Club but my friends, partners and I took the certificate anyway.

GDQ is a way of making you part of the syndicate BY JEEMON JACOB A1990 batch IAS officer, C Umashanker shot to fame during the AIADMK regime when he exposed a scam in the construction of sheds in a cremation ground under the Jawahar Rozgar Yojana when he was additional collector in Madurai. His brush with AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaas partymen resulted in his transfer out of the district.

C Umashanker PHOTO: JEEMON JACOB

Later, when the DMK came to power, he was appointed managing director of the state-run Electronic Corporation of Tamil Nadu and put in charge of procuring colour television sets for free distribution to the poor in the state, in keeping with an election promise of the DMK. He was transferred with immediate effect after he exposed corporate fraud committed by the joint venture promoter ELNET Technologies Ltd. Later, he was posted as managing director of the state-run Arasu Cable TV Corporation. In this capacity, he opposed the monopoly of Sumangali Corporation run by Kalanidhi Maran. He also took steps to nationalise Sumangali Cable Vision. By that time, Maran had a patch-up with the Karunanidhi family and Umashanker was transferred with immediate effect. Later, the anti-corruption and vigilance department registered a case against him for disproportionate assets. The government suspended him for claiming fake caste certificate as a Dalit when he is a practising Christian. He lodged a complaint with the National Backward Commission against his suspension and got a favourable order from the High Court. At present, he is managing director of Tamil Nadu Small Industries Corporation. Plots are allotted even without any formal applications. There is no transparency at all

Umashanker was allotted a plot (under government order 2D 325) on 3 April 2008 at Thiruvanmiyur Extension when he was in charge of the free colour television for the poor programme. For this, he would have had to pay 55.12 lakh. He wrote to the chief minister that he could not afford to pay such a huge amount. Later, his allotment was cancelled without stating any reason. Umashanker revealed he had an MIG flat in his name when the plot was allotted and he was not aware about the rule of Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) that he cant claim a plot when he has another flat in his name. It certainly seems commendable that Umashanker turned down a chance to own a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension, one of the poshest areas of the city. The plot is just 300 metres from the beach. Though the entire colony has been parcelled out to those close to the ruling establishment, it is the nouveau riche and the industrialists who dream of owning a house in Thiruvanmiyur, where they can rub shoulders with former judges, bureaucrats and political power brokers. If and when the allottees decide to sell their plots, they can demand extremely high prices. In a frank chat, Umashanker talks about how the government discretionary quota has been misused. Excerpts: Why are bureaucrats, judges, former judges and politicians given housing plots in posh localities under government discretionary quota? Who can refuse a good piece of land in Chennai city? Its a way of rewarding people for good work done. No inquiry has been conducted in this matter so far. Discretionary quota is the prerogative of the government. After RTI came into existence, several activists are taking up the matter in court. Basically, there is no control mechanism or checks and balances. There is little transparency while awarding the GDQ the plots are allotted without formal applications. You were also allotted a plot in 2008 under the unblemished government servant category. What happened to the allotment? Yes, I was allotted a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension. Initial payment for the plot was Rs. 25 lakh. I never had that much money. So I requested the government to reduce the price. But there was no response. I did not want a house to compromise my integrity. So I never took possession. Later, in 2009, the government ordered a vigilance inquiry against me and cancelled the allotment. Frankly, I was not aware about the TNHB rules that bars a person having a plot, a flat or a house from claiming another plot. Do you think the GDQ quota is a way of silencing people, buying them out? Yes, it is a way of making you a part of the syndicate. Plots or flats are given to those civil servants, judges or relatives of the bureaucrats or politicians for complying with certain requirements. There is no procedure for IAS or IPS officers to get a land or plot or flat in a transparent manner. So everybody uses short cuts.

Ministers DQ proves judges are more corrupt than civil servant

NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR: An investigation by Cobra post and IBN Network has revealed how former and sitting judges of Orissa, police officers and bureaucrats have received flats from the DiscretionaryQuota (DQ) of ministers. As a matter of fact, successive Urban Development Ministers in the Naveen Patnaik government have misused the discretionary housing quota. According to the revelation, the judges have got the minister quota flats out of turn and at cheaper rates. The IBN Network accessed letters of judges written to the government asking for prime property in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Prime properties were acquired in Cuttack at concession rates, bypassing the Cuttack Development Authority. In fact, Sectors 10, 11 and 13 of Cuttacks Abhinav Bidanasi project has practically become a judges residential colony. Former Chief Justice G B. Patnaik is a resident of flat 1B/22 in Sector 11 while former Orissa High CourtJudge Radhakrishna Patra has flat 1B/23 in the same sector, given out on lease. Supreme Court judge Deba Priya Mohapatra, Orissa High Court judges Sanju Panda, Madan Mohan Das, Nityanand Prastuti also own flats in Sector 10 and 11.Papers for the flats were

prepared quickly and some judges even got preferred plots. Most of the allotments took place between 2000 and 2007, under the BJP cadre Urban and Housing Development Minister Sameer De who was State Development Minister from 20002004 and then Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo who called the shots from 2004 to 2007. All that the judges had to do was written to the Minister. The CNN-IBN has a letter written by Justice Madan Mohan Das to the CDA Chairman and to Minister Kanak Vardhan Singhdeo, asking for a B-Category Flat in Sector 10, saying he would ensure a third party transfer of a CCategory Flat already owned by his wife.Justice Das was allotted the flat in just six days.

When asked why the discretionary quota was used to make the allotments, Sameer Dey, former Orissa urban development minister, said, The Orissa act does not have any such rule. There is 5 per cent and 10 per cent allocation in discretionary quota. Apart from that we dont have any rule. Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, former Orissa urban development minister, said, The rule is that only those who apply for the project can be allotted land via Discretionary Quota. So if any such person does not apply what can we do? CNN-IBN has also found that many of the judges who were allotted land through the discretionary quota already own ancestral property in Cuttack. Yet the ministers were allotted the land they asked for.

Mysore DC indicted for illegally delisting Rs 6k crore land

BANGALORE: A major land scam worth nearly Rs 6,000 crore, involving about 2,000 acres at the foothills of Chamundi Hills in Mysore, has been unearthed. Mysore deputy commissioner P S Vastrad is in the spotlight for illegally delisting in June nearly 2,000 acres of prime government land in favour of the Mysore royal family. The land in question is 1,541 acres in Kurubaralli, 259 acres in Chowdahalli and 173 acres in Alanahalli. The market value of an acre in these areas is between Rs 1 crore and Rs 3 crore. Some top state BJP leaders and influential religious leaders are said be behind the illegal conversion of the land from 'B' kharab to 'A' kharab. According to the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, 'B' kharab land is property reserved for a public purpose. Any conversion of this to 'A' kharab - making it private property - needs government authorization. But Vastrad passed the order without bringing it to the notice of the government. "This happened when DV Sadananda Gowda as chief minister held more than 20 portfolios, including revenue. Lack of monitoring in the revenue department enabled the deputy commissioner to change the format," government sources said. Following complaints against the change in land use, deputy chief minister in charge of revenue K S Eshwarappa ordered a probe by chief secretary S V Ranganath, who has given a report indicting Vastrad of being "guilty of misconduct". The land was mentioned as kharab in survey records dating back to 1861. Later, during a resurvey between 1920 and 1930, the same land was shown as 'B' kharab. "It appears the DC executed the order in undue haste. Any decision with respect to such land can only be taken by the government under Section of 86 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The delisting of land from 'B' kharab to 'A' kharab without considering the original survey records of 1861 is illegal," the chief secretary said in his report. Sources in the government said the Mysore royal family had been claiming right over the land after the death of the Mysore Maharaja in 1974, but several orders of the department of personal and administrative reforms clearly state the land belongs to the government. "The heir of the last Maharaja had been raising disputes. Due to this and multiple litigation, unscrupulous elements are trying to falsify records to gain control over this precious land," they added. Interestingly, the DC withdrew his June order on August 18 on being indicted. Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court ordered the status quo. Chief minister Jagadish Shettar, who wanted to suspend Vastrad, is said to have dropped the idea following pressure from top BJP leaders. The government feels that shunting him out at a time when Dasara preparations are under way would mar the festivities. "I will urge the CM to convene a meeting and take action against the DC," Eshwarappa told TOI.

DC Vastrad yielded to real estate lobby: MLC

Mysore: BJP MLC G Madhusudan on Friday accused Mysore DC P S Vastrad of succumbing to the real estate lobby in a case related to some 2,000-acre land at the foothills of Chamundi Hills. He has complained to CM Jagadish Shettar in this regard. The BJP leader has also asked for a stay on the proceedings following the order by Vastrad. In his complaint to Shettar, the MLC said: "The land at the foothills is quite precious and costs several thousand crores as per the present market... You are requested to go through the documents and take up investigation into the matter." In the strongly-worded letter, he has told the CM that "people are alleging that the DC has succumbed to the real estate lobby." Releasing the copies of his petition, and that of related documents to the media on Friday, Madhusudan asked the CM to intervene. According to him, the court of the deputy commissioner has declared it as B-kharab land and has directed the authorities concerned to issue khathas in the name of Srikantadatta Narasimharaaja Wadiyar, the scion of Mysore royal family and other respondents. In 1935 -- when Maharaja was ruling the state -- the said land was declared as B-kharab, which remained the same all these years. In fact, Maharajas Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar and Jayachamaraja Wadiyar wanted that to be maintained as a green belt to guard the sanctity of the sacred site. "To ensure this, maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar did not make any attempt to register the property in his name till his death," he contended, adding that he didn't even go in for partition of the land in Kurburhalli. Claiming that it is a public property, the MLC accused the DC of taking arbitrary decisions. "First of all, he can't review any decisions made in the district magistrate court. Secondly, he has to call public objections or have to seek opinion of public prosecutor before conversion of land from B-kharab (unusable land) to A-kharab, which he has not done." "There real estate lobby is behind it to usurp the property which needs to be probed," the BJP leader said. He, however, was evasive when asked to name those involved. When asked whether district minister S A Ramdas is aware of it, he accused him of being negligent on the issue. Meanwhile, deputy CM K S Eshwarappa, who also holds the revenue portfolio, said that he has convened a high-level meeting, and directed both the DC and the MLC to attend the same.

BMIC by NICE & land scams in Karnataka an appeal to honourable supreme court of India & H.E.Honourable Governor Of Karnataka

When a crime is noticed , it is the duty of the government to investigate who did it ? and to legally prosecute them in court & provide justice . if thousands of criminals , lakhs of criminals got together & did the same type of crimes , all of them must be legally prosecuted. Just for the overwhelming numbers of criminals law of the land cann't be changed. However in the Karnataka state , many political bigwigs , rich crooks have done the same crime , LAND GRABBING illegal possession of government land & illegal constructions over it. Important land records of those government lands , lands belonging to poor are lost in record rooms of civic bodies ( cunningly destroyed by corrupt officials ) Now, their political masters are legalizing the crimes . what a shame to the government of Karnataka ?

The shri.A.T. RAMA SWAMY , (M.L.A) standing committee in the Previous legislative assembly probed the land grabbings in Karnataka & gave it's report to the government . However the government in a hurry , is auctioning off those government lands without proper publicity to the auction process , sufficient time for bidder's expression of interest. In some cases , a pittance is levied as penalty for the illegal occupation to get it legalized. The government is not bothered about legally prosecuting the illegal occupier of those lands. In many civic bodies , important property documents belonging to the government & poor are missing from the record rooms. All these point towards the government intention , to legalise the crimes of illegal land occupiers who are nothing but their own political cronies.

The recent ordinance by government of Karnataka to regularize land deals is envisaging to legalize the crimes of rich. The illegal land conversions , land encroachments , encroachment of civic amenities made by the rich are being legalized with levying a pittance as penalty in the name of public welfare . Whereas the land worth at today's market prices are 10's of thousands of crore it is only wefare of the rich & mighty . IT IS GOING TO BE MOTHER OF ALL SCAMS. The authorities evict poor tribal people from their ancestral forest area in the name of conservation , evict tribal people from villages in

the name of development without proper rehabilitation measures. The government is not giving land rights to slum dwellers , poor , dalits over the land they are dwelling , the government is deaf to appeals of dalits for land rights. However the same government is sympathetic to rich who have encroached land & built huge commercial complexes worth crores violating all norms with total disregard to civic amenity or safety.

THE CLOUT OF LAND MAFIA IN INDIA -the governments daring to by-pass judiciary An appeal ( PIL ) to the honourable supreme court of India

The recent attempts by government of India & other state governments to legalise land grabbings by enacting new land laws in the name of public welfare is farce . while crores of people are without shelter & are living on streets , people in slums , tribal lands are struggling for land rights since decades the governments were mum & deaf. Now , as the rulers themselves & their cronies have built illegal constructions running into crores they are shedding crocodile tears in the name of public welfare. In india, various state governments have enacted " town municipal / city corporation laws & building laws" , to ensure orderly growth of cities & towns , to ensure the safety of buildings & it's occupants , to ensure the safety of pedestrians & road users.

Numerous educated people , ruling elite ministers , police , government officials , M.Ps , M.L.As , etc knowing fully well about the laws have illegally built bungalows , commercial complexes , throwing to wind all laws. In their greed they have shown utter contempt towards law. They have encroached dried up lakes , rivulets , rain flow paths , drainages , foot paths , civic amenity sites. In their building there are violations of- lack of fire safety exits , lack of parking space , encroachment of foot paths , conservancy line , drainages , etc.

There is wide spread corruption in the corporation / municipal authorities. For a price officials have converted CA sites to commercial purposes , authorised deviations / encroachments of public lands like foot paths , drainages , parking space , set-off , etc. The corporation officials themselves are violating city master plans. Even before authorising the conversions & encroachments of lands , the corporation officials are not making alternate arrangements. By all these corrupt deeds many of the corporation officilas have become millionaires . however more & more road accidents are taking place , building collapses & fire tragedies are occurring , during heavy rainfalls water is getting clogged ALL THESE RESULTING IN LOSS OF HUMAN LIVE & PROPERTIES. In recent days numerous murders have taken place over the real estate issues . THE CRIMINAL LAND GRABBERS MADE DEATH THREATS & FORCED THE PIL APPLICANT IN THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ABOUT LAND GRABBINGS IN KORAMANGALA LAYOUT BANGALORE. The government of karnataka instead of protecting the PIL applicant & upholding the law has taken sides with the land grabbers.

The state governments of karnataka & delhi has got M.L.As & officials who have themselves violated building laws & grabbed govt lands. Now , the two govts are contemplating to bring in laws regularising these land grabbing crimes for a pittance as penalty. All to by-pass judiciary. The governments are least bothered about the lives of poor & only too caring towards the land grabbing criminals. The same governments have not yet given land rights to poor slum dwellers / dalits , land rights to tribals living in forest since centuries , land rights to poor agricultural labourers, where as it is full of concern towards rich & mighty land grabbers criminals. Bottom line whatever be the magnitude of crime if you are rich & mighty law will be bended to suit you , by bad luck if you are a poor folk you are bound to suffer being on the right side of law also. Hereby , e-voice urges requests the honourable supreme court of india , to register this as a PIL , to provide protection to the PIL applicant in bangalore & to take appropriate actions against the GOK & GOD nipping at bud their illegal motives to regularise land grabbings.

ILLEGALITIES IN AUCTION OF M/S IDEAL JAWA LTD MYSORE

During the auction of above sick industry the land usage was for industrial purpose only. so, people with other commercial objectives were not allowed to participate in the auction. Thereby, the final auctioned amount was very much less than the market value. This has a direct bearing on employees of that industry , lending banks , govt dept , etc who have all put forward their claims for dues from that industry. noW, all of them are getting very much less than what is due from the closed company. A loss of crores of rupees to banks , government , employees has been made by the cunningness of civic bodies. Now in a backdoor move the M.U.D.A , K.I.A.D.B , M.C.C are moving to give land usage conversion to the new occupier, who is building posh villas & resorts here. Is it right & justified ? should not they conduct auction once again or charge market value to the new owner.

LAND MAFIA IN KARNATAKA

The land mafia which has links with political leadership & top govt servants in the state, is running business widely in & around bangalore,mysore & other major towns. The authorities like city corporation , B.D.A, M.U.D.A , K.I.A.D.B , etc are denotifying the lands meant for public welfare in favour of land mafia. The authorities have earmarked these lands for public welfare ie parks , schools , hospitals at the planning stage itself for current & future needs of the people. In most cases the land mafia has illegally occupied the lands , built commercial complexes & sold it for crores of rupees.

1. the authorities are not demolishing these illegal structures & prosecuting the occupiers.

2. In some cases the authorities are denotifying , regularizing those illegal occupations by levying a pittance as penalty which is very much less than the market value.

3. In some cases for example a notified site for school is alloted to an educational trust. They build 2 rooms in 25% of the site & state that this is free school meant for weaker sections. After a year or two , they state before the authority that to run this school they need funds. So they are planning to build commercial complexes around the school site & by the rent collected from shops they will run the school. In this manner sites meant for schools , hospitals , temples & other social organisations apply for conversion of land usage & use major portion of the land for commercial purposes.

Hereby , e-voice urges the govt of karnataka & other authorities ,

1. to clearly demarcate the govt lands & announce it boldly to the public.

2. To clearly demarcate lands meant for public amenities both for current & future usage.

3. To clearly demarcate lands required for town planning say 20 years down the line.

4. To clearly mention in such plans the purpose it is reserved for ie parks , hospitals , schools , etc.

5. To impartially act against illegal occupiers rich or poor.

6. Say while denotifying a land meant for school an alternate land for school must be incorporated in the original plan.

7. Before denotification public objections must be called for & considered responsibly.

8. After denotification the land must be sold at the market rate not the govt rate.

9. In case of land usage conversion also the objections from the public must be called for & considered responsibly.

10. After land usage conversion an alternate land must be incorporated in the plan for the original use.

11. In case of land usage conversion also the occupier must be charged at the market value.

12. To declare annually the property details of all officials with denotifying / land usage conversion authorities together with details of their family member's properties with provision for public scrutiny, cross checking.

13. To ruthlessly prosecute the corrupt officials & ministers.

14. To make public the report of past district magistrate mysore mr. T.M. VIJAYA BHASKAR about illegal land dealings in & around mysore. Also the action taken report.

ILLEGALITIES IN BANGALORE-MYSORE EXPRESSWAY PROJECT BMIC by NICE

Different political parties are trading charges against each other about illegalities in the mysore-bangalore expressway project. Grave mistakes have been committed by the previous state governments. The saving grace is judiciary has taken note of it. The fundamental principle behind land acquisitions by the governments is to use that acquired lands for public welfare. As the govt acquires the land with this noble intentions even the land looser contents himself with compensation at govt rate. Always the govt rate is much below market value. If at all the govt wants to give out that acquired land to a private party for private use or for the use of a selected few, the govt must give prevailing market rate to the land looser. In such cases the govt does not have authority to force the land owner to sell his property.

In this mysore-bangalore 4 lane expressway project, following inconsistencies are there,

1. this road is not for free public use, but only for those who pays the toll fees.

2. The luxurious resorts , townships , etc which are to be built alongside this road are not open for free public usage but only for the rich who can afford it.

3. The govt has concluded this deal in a hush-hush manner.

4. Any disputes raised by this project should be addressed to international arbiter at london which a poor land owner or general public can ill-afford.

5. The govt has not paid the prevailing market value to the land loosers.

6. The govt has not given the option to land owners not to sell their property.

7. This whole project is for rich , built by the rich for the rich & not meant for public welfare.

The govt must give back the lands to the owners who wants it back & must pay the market value to those willing to sell. As this project is built by wealthy people for wealthy people why cann't they cough- up market value?

CRIMES BY BANGALORE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ( B.D.A) AGAINST A POOR WOWAN

The B.D.A flouts it's own rules & spreads red carpet for big land developers & land grabbers. B.D.A posting is a huge money spinner for corrupt officials. The corrupt B.D.A officials work hand in glove with criminal elements & rowdies. They illegally evict genuine allottees who are poor & without any connections from allotted prime lands & sell-off those prime land to the highest bidder of bribe. The poor fellow is re-alloted lands in backward areas & in some cases left in the lurch.

Now , take the following case. Mr. S.D. chandrashekaraiah a poor old man aged around 80 years was allotted with house no.185, kumaraswamy lay-out, first block, bangalore in 1978 vide letter no. 310/267/BDA/ADM/KMRSL(H)/78-79 dt 11/08/1978.

The chairman of B.D.A has allotted the built house on lease cum sale basis. The poor old man mr. S.D.chandrashekaraiah complied with all the rules & in accordance with it even deposited 25% of the house cost in B.D.A'S account. However when he went over to his allotted house for residing in it, he found out some rowdy elements were already residing there. He complained about this matter to the legal owner of the house ie B.D.A . the B.D.A officials didn't take steps to evict the illegal encroachers nor did they make any complaint to the police. His appeals to B.D.A, chief minister of karnataka , etc fell on deaf ears. Hurt by this gross injustice & mounting financial burdens the poor old man died.

Subsequently, the poor man's daughter smt. Nagalakshmi who was also very poor , appealed to the B.D.A authorities once again , to evict illegal encroachers from her father's allotted house. This time the corrupt B.D.A officials played a different game. They showed her a vacant house, gave her oral instructions to live in that vacant house & told her that they will regularise it in due course. The hapless poor woman took huge loans & repaired

the house fit for occupation. Just before she was to occupy that house , corrupt B.D.A officials once again planted rowdy elements in that house. Once again the poor woman was cheated. She lost her house, on top of it her loan burden mounted.

Till date, that poor woman is suffering from these gross injustices of B.D.A . SHAMELESS B.D.A OFFICIALS who take thousands of rupees salary & perks every month, all at the expense of tax-payer has not even cared to rectify the injustice. Thereby, they are violating the poor woman's fundamental & human rights.

Hereby, e-voice urges the honourable chief minister of karnataka, honourable lokayuktha for karnataka , honourable chairman national human rights commission , honourable chairman national commission for women & honourable chairman state commission for women karnataka, to take the appropriate action & to speedily provide justice to this poor woman.

MLC alleges encroachment of 15,000 acres of forest land in Chamarajanagar District

After exposing alleged encroachment of large areas of land in Survey No. 4 of Kurubarahalli in Mysore, BJP MLC G. Madhusudhan has come up with another exposure of about 15,000 acres of forest land encroachment in Chamarajanagar District. These lands were encroached by private parties owing to an order passed by a former Deputy Commissioner. This was disclosed by MLC G. Madhusudan at a press meet at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here today. Elaborating on the issue, Madhusudan said The 15,000 acres of land covers Survey No. 1 in Palya Hobli of Kollegal taluk and Survey No. 174 in Shivanasamudra forest area in Chamarajanagar district. In fact, Kollegal Assistant Commissioner, in an order passed through the DC Court on Dec. 13, 2011, had reiterated that the said area was a government forest land. However the then DC M.V. Savithri bowing to the pressure of a few vested interests had issued an order on July 8 stating that the said land was not a government property which subsequently let in many private parties to encroach upon the land threatening the rich flora and fauna of the forest region. Continuing, Madhusudan said that any such important order should have come from the High Court. Hence he urged the government to initiate a CBI inquiry into the case by cancelling the former DCs order and booking her for criminal offence. Expressing apprehension that the forest land would become a haven for land mafia, he alleged that former Senior Police officials, rich industrialists and influential politicians were involved in the deal. He, however, did not mention names. Madhusudan said that he would submit a detailed letter to the Chief Minister enclosing the relevant documents to initiate immediate action. Referring to the scam of land at the foot of Chamundi Hill, Madhusudan said that he was happy that a departmental enquiry would begin soon on the former Deputy Commissioner Vastrad who was involved in the issue.

THE CLOUT OF LAND MAFIA IN INDIA -the governments daring to by-pass judiciary An appeal ( PIL ) to the honourable supreme court of India

The recent attempts by government of India & other state governments to legalise land grabbings by enacting new land laws in the name of public welfare is farce . while crores of people are without shelter & are living on streets , people in slums , tribal lands are struggling for land rights since decades the governments were mum & deaf. Now , as the rulers themselves & their cronies have built illegal constructions running into crores they are shedding crocodile tears in the name of public welfare. In india, various state governments have enacted " town municipal / city corporation laws & building laws" , to ensure orderly growth of cities & towns , to ensure the safety of buildings & it's occupants , to ensure the safety of pedestrians & road users.

Numerous educated people , ruling elite ministers , police , government officials , M.Ps , M.L.As , etc knowing fully well about the laws have illegally built bungalows , commercial complexes , throwing to wind all laws. In their greed they have shown utter contempt towards law. They have encroached dried up lakes , rivulets , rain flow paths , drainages , foot paths , civic amenity sites. In their building there are violations of- lack of fire safety exits , lack of parking space , encroachment of foot paths , conservancy line , drainages , etc.

There is wide spread corruption in the corporation / municipal authorities. For a price officials have converted CA sites to commercial purposes , authorised deviations / encroachments of public lands like foot paths , drainages , parking space , set-off , etc. The corporation officials themselves are violating city master plans. Even before authorising the conversions & encroachments of lands , the corporation officials are not making alternate arrangements. By all these corrupt deeds many of the corporation officilas have become millionaires . however more & more road accidents are taking place , building collapses & fire tragedies are occurring , during heavy rainfalls water is getting clogged ALL THESE RESULTING IN LOSS OF HUMAN LIVE & PROPERTIES. In recent days numerous murders have taken place over the real estate issues . THE CRIMINAL LAND GRABBERS MADE DEATH THREATS & FORCED THE PIL APPLICANT IN THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ABOUT LAND GRABBINGS IN KORAMANGALA LAYOUT BANGALORE. The government of karnataka instead of protecting the PIL applicant & upholding the law has taken sides with the land grabbers.

The state governments of karnataka & delhi has got M.L.As & officials who have themselves violated building laws & grabbed govt lands. Now , the two govts are contemplating to bring in laws regularising these land grabbing crimes for a pittance as penalty. All to by-pass judiciary. The governments are least bothered about the lives of poor & only too caring towards the land grabbing criminals. The same governments have not yet given land rights to poor slum dwellers / dalits , land rights to tribals living in forest since centuries , land rights to poor agricultural labourers, where as it is full of concern towards rich & mighty land grabbers criminals. Bottom line whatever be the magnitude of crime if you are rich & mighty law will be bended to suit you , by bad luck if you are a poor folk you are bound to suffer being on the right side of law also. Hereby , e-voice urges requests the honourable supreme court of india , to register this as a PIL , to provide protection to the PIL applicant in bangalore & to take appropriate actions against the GOK & GOD nipping at bud their illegal motives to regularise land grabbings.

BDA a den of corruption: T B Jayachandra

Author: BDA a Den of Corruption Published Date: Jul 28, 2012 8:48 AM Last Updated: Jul 28, 2012 8:48 AM Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has become a den of corruption and the government needs to take steps to check large scale irregularities in the authority, said Deputy Leader of Congress in the Assembly T B Jayachandra. Speaking on the demands on departments in the Assembly, the Congress leader on Friday urged the government to constitute a House Committee to look into the irregularities. The BDA has unlawfully de-notified hundreds of acres of land to help builders to form private layouts. It is a big business involving hundreds of crore of rupees, he alleged. He added that many people whose lands were acquired for developing layouts were made to run from pillar to post to get compensation. Many allottees have to run around seeking alternate site as in many instances after allotting sites to people the BDA de-notifies land, he said. Jayachandra said that during a recent visit to BDAs Arkavathy layout, he found a big building in the land meant for developing a park. It is a 10-year-old project. Now all that has come up there are buildings in the site meant for park and an IAS Officers House Building Cooperative Society. BDA has allotted sites in bulk to the society. Why is BDA selectively helping officers and not common people? he questioned. Jayachandra said that former chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda had assured the House of ordering a probe by Corps of Detectives (CoD). Why the CoD inquiry was not ordered? Is the government trying to protect the corrupt? Everyone knows no work can be done in BDA without paying bribe, he added. According to him, will get `2 lakh crore if it regularises the illegal BDA layouts. Many real estate agents are entering into politics and want to contest elections. This is a big lobby and they can spend crores. It is a scary trend and we need to stop it, he added.

CCTV cameras in BDA are covered with cow dung

The government will cancel alternative land and sites allotted by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) in prestigious extensions in lieu of private land acquired for the development of Sir. M. Visvesvaraya, Kempe Gowda, Jnanabharathi and Banashankari extensions. Making an announcement in this regard in the Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah promised to order a probe into alleged violation of norms and irregularities committed by BDA and punish the guilty. Responding to a calling attention notice moved by S.T. Somashekar, K.N. Rajanna and K. Shadakshari of the Congress, Mr. Siddaramaiah admitted that there were illegalities and irregularities in allocation of sites and land for the land acquired in BDA. The government would order a probe into the scam and action would be initiated against those involved in it. He would direct the senior officials to inquire into the misuse of incentive scheme of allotting land for land losers. Irregularities in revenue land scam would also be probed and all allotments made under this category would be cancelled forthwith, Mr. Siddaramaiah said. Detailing the allotment made by BDA since 2008, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that 3,314 sites had been allotted under the categories of alternative sites, incentive schemes, land to land and revenue sites. The government will not spare anybody who has misused the schemes in connivance with the officials, he said. Initiating the debate, Mr. Somashekar alleged that BDA had flouted norms while allotting sites and land for acquisition of land without notification. BDA officials used the scheme to their convenience, which are meant for helping the poor farmers and land owners, he lamented. Accusing BDA of generously giving sites and land to GPA holders in posh localities, Mr. Rajanna, alleged that the authority had not followed guidelines and officials allotted sites and land at their whims and fancies. The close circuit cameras installed in BDA are being covered with cow dung to gloss the murky dealings. It is scam worth Rs. 1,000 crore and needs comprehensive investigation, he said. Violation of order Pointing at the violation of Mr. Siddaramaiahs order, Mr. Rajanna said that, through the Chief Minister issued order against allotting sites and land under the category on July 11, BDA allotted six sites on the same evening and issued possession certificates on July 13. This clearly exhibits the uncanny knack of BDA officials to circumvent the directions of the Chief Minister and shows that BDA was above government, he observed.

Reclaim 308 G category sites, says Padmaraj panel

BANGALORE: In a big blow to allottees of G category sites, the Justice B Padmaraj Committee recommended to the state government it cancel and reclaim 308 sites allotted under the chief minister's discretionary quota. These sites in prime localities were allotted between 2004 and 2011. Three beneficiaries, who have already constructed houses, have been asked to cough up twice the current market price of the sites if they want to retain them.

The panel has reserved its decision on two sites allotted to former CM DV Sadananda Gowda and BJP MLA DN Jeevaraj as their cases are pending before the Supreme Court. In all, 313 sites/plots were allotted under G category of BDA rules by previous CMs N Dharam Singh, HD Kumaraswamy and BS Yeddyurappa. The beneficiaries included a present minister, MPs, MLAs, MLCs, political party leaders, bureaucrats, police officers, doctors, journalists and even personal assistants, cooks, drivers and peons of powerful politicians. In Mysore on Saturday, chief minister Siddaramaiah said he would study the report and take necessary action. Based on a petition filed in 2010 by advocate Vasudev Murthy, the Karnataka High Court directed the state government to form a committee to look into the matter and submit a report. Accordingly, the government constituted the Justice B Padmaraj Committee. By then, many allottees who bagged these prime sites worth crores of rupees had sold their plots in the open market for 10 times that amount. Though the panel submitted its report on August 26, 2013, the government has dithered taking action. Though the issue was part of the agenda in cabinet meetings, it was kept aside reportedly under pressure from the beneficiaries. There are even allegations of beneficiaries influencing chief minister Siddaramaiah to bring an amendment to the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Act, 1976 so that they can hold on to their sites. According to BDA rules, a person who owns a site or a house in Bangalore is not eligible for allotment under the G category. But, the majority of beneficiaries owned a site or house in the city. The committee report has pointed out that persons who gave a false declaration on this count should forfeit their sites. Some prominent allottees Visveshwar Anantha Hegde Kageri (BJP)

Murugesh R Nirani (BJP) MP Renukacharya (BJP) Prahalad Joshi (BJP) R Roshan Baig (Cong) R Ashoka (BJP) Sharan Prakash Patil (Cong) Shakuntala Shetty (BJP) MT Krishnappa (JDS) M Srinivas (JDS) G category site Rule 5 of BDA (Allotment of Sites) Rules, 1984, lays out various categories under which it can dispose of stray sites. There are seven categories: A (via auction), B (for sportspersons), C (for those who excel in arts, science, literature, education, medicine and public administration), D (for ex-servicemen); F (for dependents of government servants who die in the line of duty) and G (for persons in public life as may be directed by the government). While A, B C, D, E & F category sites are allotted on the recommendation of a BA sub-committee, G category site allotments are the prerogative and discretion of the chief minister. Who is eligible * Domiciled in Karnataka for not less than 10 years

* Neither allottee nor family should own a site or house in Bangalore metropolitan area * Allottee or family should not have been allotted a site or house by the BDA, or any other authority within Bangalore metropolitan area. Allottee has to submit affidavit to this effect

Ex-MUDA chairmen feel heat over site scam

Former chairmen of Mandya Urban Development Authority (MUDA) are in a state of panic as the Urban Development Department has sent a proposal to the Home Department seeking a CBI probe into illegal financial transactions and distribution of sites. Ten days ago, the Urban Development Department had sent a letter to the Home Department seeking it to hand over the investigation of the irregularities in MUDA and RamanagaramChannapatana Urban Development Authority to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The Police Department has already submitted the preliminary report to the court. As money was invested in foreign banks, huge irregularities had taken place in the site allotment. Urban Development Minister Vinay Kumar Sorake had provided details of the irregularities to the Home Ministry and requested them to hand over the case to the CBI. In 1998, the then irrigation minister K N Nagegowda had closed a lake (432 acres, 10 guntas) belonging to the department and handed over 232 acres and 10 guntas to MUDA and 200 acres to the Housing Board for construction of houses for the poor and middle classes. The then MUDA chairman P M Somashekar took a loan of `5 crore from State Bank of Mysore, Mandya branch, and through a contractor from Andhra Pradesh developed Vivekananda Nagar layout with 2,600 sites in the 232 acres. Later, when Asadulla Khan was MUDA chairman, 2,200 sites were distributed through lots. When Hansiyabanu was MUDA chairman, under the Nimma Aayke scheme, 200 sites were distributed. During the BJP government, MUDA chairman Vidya Nagendra had distributed 107 sites even be fore the final date for the submission of applications. This illegal distribution of sites was also discussed at the Vidhana Soudha. Advocate T S Satyananda had lodged a case against three members of the Legislative Assembly and several others in the Mandya Lokayukta Special Court for illegal distribution of sites. The government had directed the authorities to withhold the distribution. Recently, financial irregularities of Rs 5 crore in MUDA and Rs 16.90 crore by the Ramanagaram-Channapatna Urban Development Authority have come to light. The local police investigated the case and filed a chargesheet. The minister said: We have sent a proposal to hand over the case to the CBI. In a few days, with the CMs approval, the case will be handed over.

Probe panel yet to scratch surface of MUDA irregularities

Its been a month since a high-level committee was formed to probe allegations of irregularities in land acquired by Mangalore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) for Chelyar Layout. It is operational only on paper. The grandiose plan of MUDA to form a layout and distribute sites to applicants at Chelyar and Madya villages near Surathkal comes at a cost: Rs. 75,000 monthly outgo to service a Rs. 12 crore loan taken for it. In an order sent by the Urban Development Department, on August 5, a committee was to deliver a report on the legality of the project within 15 days. The committee is headed by Regional Commissioner (Mysore) M.V. Jayanthi, with Deputy Commissioner N. Prakash and Deputy Director of Land Records B.K. Kusumadhara as members. After allegations that the price paid for the land in 2008 was too high and favourable to private players, Minister for Urban Development Vinay Kumar Sorake promised a probe in June. The project envisaged buying 200 acres of private land at an agreed rate of Rs. 25,500 a cent. After the approval of the erstwhile BJP-led government, nearly 73 acres of land had been bought.

Unscientific project
While most MUDA officials who talked to The Hindu claimed to have been transferred to the Authority only after site formation, one senior official said: The entire project was approved by the State government. And so, in this respect, the papers are clean. However, there is a need to ask why the ambitious layout was formed when the Authority was reeling under debt. Already burdened with a Rs. 4 crore loan, in 2008, MUDA took an additional Rs. 12 crore. Many officials view the inquiry as a political witch-hunt: aimed at the now-out-of-power party, rather than the Authority itself.

Report soon
With not one meeting called so far, Mr. Kusumadhara said there was little clarity on the scope of inquiry. However, the Deputy Commissioner said, We only have to clear the suspicions. We will collect the required documents, and present it before the Regional Commissioner during her visit on September 12.

MUDA employees booked for forgery, cheating

MYSORE: Mysore Urban Development Authorities (MUDA) have filed a police complaint against one P Nagaraj son of Puttaswamygowda and two employees of MUDA staff who supported the accused in creating fake documents at Lakshmipuram police station. MUDA commissioner C G Betsurmath said a site in Gokulam III stage was allotted to one M K Ranganayaki in 1973 through auction and she had obtained title deed in 2002. But in the meantime, the accused Nagaraj has created fake documents about the site and made the authorities believe that he had purchased the said land in 1979 in an auction. Later he has taken title deed for it and then sold it to another party.

But the crime has come to light after the actual owner approached the authorities only recently. When the documents were verified, MUDA authorities found that site number has been forged from 37 to 73. The commissioner said the title deed of the said site obtained by Nagaraj has been cancelled and we are investigating on this score. Krishnaraja subdivision ACP A N Prakashgowd said MUDA has given against three persons and we are investigating it.

Probe into bogus bill scam will cover larger picture: BMTF
Bangalore: Attempting to clear the air on speculations regarding the alleged multi-crore bogus bill scam in three assembly constituencies, Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) inspector general of police RP Sharma said the investigation will not be restricted to Rajarajeshwarinagar, Gandhinagar and Malleswaram constituencies. The probe will also include other areas, he clarified. Speaking at the BBMP head office on Wednesday, Sharma said even though the FIR filed on November 4 by the additional commissioner (administration) pertains to only three constituencies, sleuths will look into other areas if necessary. "The C(TVCC) had mentioned only three constituencies in its report pertaining to irregularities from 2008 to 2011. The FIR was only an instrument to take up investigation, but it does not restrict us from taking up the investigation in other areas," he said.

Town planners' help to be sought He said even though there is a delay in filing a case, BMTF is trying to clear all hurdles and expose those involved in the scam. The BMTF has seized 153 files pertaining to the irregularities from the three constituencies. Eleven persons and TVCC officials were interrogated and 153 files verified by sleuths in 20 days, Sharma said. Reacting to a question raised on BMTF's ability to investigate financial crimes and demand to hand over the probe to the Lokayukta, Sharma said the sleuths would seek help from town planners. Currently, there are only two town planners of the 15 sanctioned posts. The investigation team will also include a superintendent of police, deputy superintendent of police (who will join the team shortly), two inspectors, four sub-inspectors and 15 head constables. A fair and impartial investigation would be conducted by the investigation team, he assured. "We can ascertain the quantum of money that is involved in the scam only after the investigation," Sharma said. BBMP commissioner Siddaiah entrusted the BMTF to carry out inquiry into the `1,539 crore scam after it was unearthed by the TVCC. The BMTF is an autonomous agency under the state government. It is alleged that bills were sanctioned even though works were not completed in the three assembly constituencies. The irregularities took place during the administrative period when BBMP remained without people's representation. With no corporators, MLAs looked after project works in the wards. The elections to BBMP were held in 2010 after a gap of three years. Last Friday, leaders of the ruling and opposition parties and civic officials participated in a twohour meeting called by BBMP mayor R Shardamma to discuss the probe. It was decided to set up a house committee, consisting of five ruling party corporators, two from the opposition and two officials, to investigate the scam, before BMTF took up the case. The move was seen as a delaying tactic by the ruling party in the BBMP council.RK Sharma, IGP, Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force, after a press conference at Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike headquarters on Wednesday.

Bangalore: BMTF Registers FIR Against Suresh Kumar, Krishnaiah Setty

The Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force has registered an FIR against Minister for Urban Development Suresh Kumar, former Housing Minister M Krishnaiah Setty and senior IAS officer V P Baligar for allegedly returning four acres 20 guntas of land, which was acquired by the government under the Karnataka Urban Land Ceiling Act to construct houses for the slum dwellers at Laggere, to the original owner. The case was lodged based on a complaint by Dinesh Kallalli, a social worker, who stated that Kumar, in his capacity as Urban Development Minister, granted permission to return the land to the original owner, while then Housing Minister Krishnaiah Setty halted the process of constructing houses for the urban poor. The BMTF has registered a case against the trio under Sections 13 (1) and 13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and Section 157 of the CrPC on Saturday. Kallalli told Deccan Herald that in 1982, the government acquired 4.2 acres of excess land in survey number 19/2, which belonged to K Gopinath to build houses for the financially weaker and downtrodden people. In 2003, the Karnataka Slum Development Board (KSDB) started the process of constructing houses. When the process reached the stage of inviting tenders, the Yeddyurappa government took the decision to return the land to the original owner. It is learnt that under the Karnataka Urban Land Ceiling Act, no one can hold more than 59 acres of land and the excess land should be confiscated. Gopinath had reportedly possessed 4.2 acres in excess, which the government took it in its custody in 1982. Once the land is in governments custody, it cannot be returned to its original owner, although the government has the power to allot it to other individuals. Kallalli alleged that the decision was taken to help Gopinath, who is the brother of senior RSS functionary K Narahari. He claimed that the KSDB had objected to the decision, reminding that it was not only illegal, but would also affect the weaker sections of the society. The board also said that the tender process was almost over. However, the government set aside the objections of the KSDB and the tender process to construct houses. When contacted, Kumar said he had no information about the case since he was away in Bellary. He said he would find out once he returned to Bangalore. A few months ago, Kumar had tendered his resignation after it was alleged that his family was the beneficiary of a G category site. However, the chief minister refused to accept the resignation as no substance was found in the allegation. Setty, who was in jail over a land denotification case, is out on bail.
