To ,
All Honourable  Judges ,
Supreme Court of India ,
New Delhi.
The Humble petition of the Petitioner above named.

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :
1. Facts of the case:
"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt public servants.
2. Godhra train carnage committed on innocent karsevaks by rowdy muslim elements must be severely punished.
3. In the same way Gujarath riots committed by rowdy hindu elements must be severely punished.
4. Persons who openly spoke truth, who professionally investigated the cases , who professionally judged the cases were silenced by murder or by dismissal, jail sentence.
5. To cover up a crime , series if crimes were committed. Godhra carnage , Gujarath riots , Haren pandya murder , fake encounters of tulsiram prajapati , sohrabuddin , his wife , Judge Loya murder , Police officer Rai's dismissal , Sanjiv Bhatt's dismissal and jail term are all inter related.
6. Presiding judges of these cases failed to uphold justice out of fear or for favor.

2. Question(s) of Law:

Are criminals behind Godhra carnage and Gujarath riots above law ?


3. Grounds:
Requests for equitable justice , Accountability of judges.


4. Averment:
Before law common man , minister , beggar , judge are all equal and must be treated as equals.
Respect  for judiciary  has been eroded  by  improper actions of  few unfit judges not from  media or the public. If  judges respect law in letter & spirit by their actions then automatically public will respect judiciary.

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.


PRAYER:
In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased:
(i) 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.
(ii) to pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.
3. To provide protection to families of police officers rai , sanjiv butt and Judge Loya.
4. To institute a transparent  impartial investigations into  Godhra Carnage , Gujarath riots and it's cover ups as a whole.
5. To reopen cases filed by police officers Rai , Sanjiv Bhatt.

Sanjiv Bhatt Case: In 16 Years, Gujarat Saw 180 Custodial Deaths – and Zero Convictions
Law enforcement in Gujarat left no stone unturned to ensure Bhatt was incarcerated. That deviates significantly from the norm.

21/JUN/2019
New Delhi: While Sanjiv Bhatt’s sentence to life imprisonment in a 1990 custodial death case has raised questions once again on the consequences of the IPS officer’s claims about Narendra Modi’s role in the 2002 riots, a Times of India report has shown that Gujarat isn’t in the habit of punishing other policemen accused of the same crime.
The report highlights, with the help of data accessed from the National Crime Records Bureau, that as many as 180 custodial deaths took place in Gujarat between 2001 and 2016 (the last year for which numbers are available). However, no police personnel have been punished for any of these deaths in this time.
The countrywide numbers are even worse — only 26 policemen have been convicted for 1,557 custodial deaths, most from Uttar Pradesh.
Notwithstanding the dire need for accountability in the police force, the figures draw attention to the context in which Bhatt (along with another policeman, Pravinsinh Zala) was found guilty in a case that is nearly 30 years old.

The 1990 custodial death case
Bhatt’s case dates back to November 1990, when he had detained several people (the numbers vary between 110 and 150 in different reports) for rioting in Jamjodhpur town on the day of a Bharat Bandh, called to coincide with the end of Bharatiya Janata Party veteran L.K. Advani’s rath yatra. The 1988-batch IPS officer, who was then additional superintendent of police of Jamnagar district, had been send to Jamjodhpur by then superintendent of police, T.S. Bisht, Indian Express has reported.
Among those detained was one Prabhudas Vaishnani, who was released on bail after nine days and allegedly died ten days after his release, while undergoing treatment in a hospital. His brother, Amrutlal, had then filed a complaint alleging custodial torture against Bhatt and eight other policemen. To Express, Amrutlal said that Prabhudas was a farmer and not responsible for rioting at all.
Cognisance of the case had been taken by a magistrate in 1995, but its trial had been stayed by the Gujarat high court till 2011, when the stay was vacated.
A week ago, last Wednesday, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain Bhatt’s plea seeking to examine 11 additional witnesses in the case. The former policeman had moved the apex court claiming that while nearly 300 witnesses had been listed by prosecution in the case, only 32 were actually examined. Many crucial witnesses, including three policemen who were a part of the team which investigated the offence, were left out, he had claimed.
The Gujarat government had termed Bhatt’s move a “tactic to delay the trial”.

Incriminating numbers
In what is no great testament to either the legal system or the concept of accountability in Indian law enforcement, the narrative surrounding custodial deaths until now has largely focused on the lack of action taken against police personnel. A much talked about report released by Human Rights Watch in 2016 revealed that 591 people had died in police custody in India between 2010 and 2015 alone, according to official data. Police, the report revealed, were loath to follow arrest procedures, their impunity bolstered by a system that allows them to blame such deaths in custody “on suicide, illness, or natural causes.”

While the NCRB data considered by TOI for their report does not mention figures relevant to the period during which the custodial death for which Bhatt has been convicted took place, a 1992 Amnesty International report on the issue in India quoted 415 custodial deaths in the country between 1985 and 1991. The report notes that within that period, only two cases of action having been taken in situations of custodial violence had come within the purview of the surveyors.

The first was for a case of the rape of a tribal women in 1986. A Supreme Court commission investigating the allegation found sufficient evidence to conclude that four police officers and two doctors could be charged with “having hatched the conspiracy for destroying the evidence and thereby keeping the accused constables from being prosecuted in a court of law”.
“The most recent case known to Amnesty International resulted in a Gujarat High Court judgment on October 23, 1991; six police officers were sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for beating Kantuji Mohansinh to death in 1982 and destroying the evidence of their offence. The same police officers had previously been acquitted in May 1983 but, in the only such case known to Amnesty International, the state appealed against that judgment to the court which set aside the acquittal and convicted the police officers.”
Indeed, like the Amnesty report suggests, the untold custom is that of the state government championing the cause of its police in cases of custodial violence or deaths. Which brings us back to the particular escape from custom seen in Bhatt’s case.
Why Bhatt?
Gujarat law enforcement’s efforts in stripping Bhatt of his powers, sacking him, taking him into custody for a 22-year-old drug possessions case and arguing for his life imprisonment in the custodial death case can be considered particularly insistent.
His wife Shweta, in an interview to The Wire, had alleged likewise and detailed extraordinary steps taken to particularly humiliate and corner Bhatt and his family. Their security cover was allegedly withdrawn without prior intimation, agency officials allegedly walked into their bedroom as Shweta was asleep seeking to question her husband, and the municipal corporation allegedly sent labourers to demolish ‘illegal structures’ in their 23-year-old house.

The alleged harassment began in 2011, when Bhatt filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court claiming to have attended a meeting on the eve of the 2002 Gujarat riots. He alleged that Modi, who was then chief minister and is now prime minister, at the meeting asked senior IPS officers to to let Hindus “vent out their anger against Muslims” in the aftermath of the Godhra train carnage.
In the affidavit, he also alleged that it was discussed in the meeting that the bodies of the Hindu pilgrims who had died in the Sabarmati Express would be brought to Ahmedabad before being cremated. Senior police officials had, according to Bhatt, then advised against this as they feared it would incite religious violence.
Several police officers investigating the 2002 violence and the series of alleged fake encounters have reportedly been targeted by the Gujarat government and continue to face consequences of their involvement even now. Some of the officers targeted were Rahul Sharma and R.B. Sreekumar, who like Bhatt had deposed before the Nanavati Commission regarding the government’s culpability in the riots. Satish Verma, part of the SIT probing the Ishrat Jahan encounter case and Kuldip Sharma, who pursued a corruption case which involved Amit Shah, were also reported targeted.
In late 2018, a Rajnish Rai, a Gujarat cadre IPS officer who was the first investigator in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter case, was suspended by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

New Delhi: A special Central Bureau of Investigation court on Friday acquitted all 22 accused in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter case. A day earlier, Rajnish Rai, a Gujarat cadre IPS officer who was the first investigator in the case, was suspended by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Rai arrested high-profile officers such as D.G. Vanzara in the fake encounter case. He also investigated corruption in the Uranium Corporation of India in Jharkhand and filed an internal report stating that an encounter in Assam was staged.

A 1992 batch officer, he is serving central deputation, heading the Counter Insurgency and Anti-Terrorism (CIAT) School of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) at Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh.
Rai, 52, sought voluntary retirement in August this year and wrote to the MHA saying he may be considered deemed to have resigned from the service. The Centre rejected his plea. He had stopped attending office after applying for VRS. The suspension order was issued because of his absence.
Rai has challenged the MHA’s rejection of his VRS before a Central Administrative Tribunal in Ahmedabad.
According to The Hindu, the MHA order states disciplinary proceeding were initiated against Rai in “connection with his unauthorized handing over the charge of IG & Principal, CIAT School, CRPF, Chittoor and abdication of office on 30.11.2018.” It adds that until he is under suspension, Rai cannot leave Chittoor without the permission of the CRPF’s director-general.
The order was delivered to Rai’s Vadodara residence. According to The Hindu, Rai marked his protest while receiving the suspension order. He wrote, “The order of suspension by MHA, GOI is absolutely illegal and unconstitutional as I have retired from service as for operations of law and rules after office hours on on 30.11.2018.”

Sohrabuddin Shaikh
Sohrabuddin Shaikh investigation
Rai was the first investigating officer in the fake encounters of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kausar Bi and Shaikh’s aide Tulsiram Prajapati. In 2007, as the deputy inspector general (DIG) of the Gujarat CID’s crime branch, Rai arrested top cops D.G. Vanjara and Rajkumar Pandian of the Gujarat cadre and Dinesh M.N. of the Rajasthan cadre as key accused.
The case was then handed over to the CBI under the Supreme Court’s guidelines. During the CBI’s investigation, several high-profile accused in the case, including Amit Shah and the three officers arrested by Rai, were discharged. The 22 people acquitted by the special CBI court on Friday were mostly low-level police cadre.
After the case was handed over to the CBI, the Gujarat government downgraded his annual confidential report, an annual appraisal system within the civil services. Rai appealed before a Central Administrative Tribunal, which stayed the downgrading. The state government later rectified his record in 2011.
Uncovering corruption in Jharkhand
In August 2014, soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Narendra Modi, came to power at the Centre, Rai was transferred out of Gujarat. He was posted as the chief vigilance officer (CVO) of the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL) in Jadugoda, Jharkhand.
Here, he submitted a report to the CBI stating that he had uncovered massive corruption and irregularities. The report said the “work of removal of overburden/waste and extraction of uranium ore at Banduhurang opencast mine” was awarded in a corrupt manner. Sadbhav Engineers Ltd, an Ahmedabad-based engineering company, was awarded the contract through an open tender despite a Delhi-based firm quoting Rs 46 crore less.

Bizarrely, the department chargesheeted him for conducting an unauthorised probe. He was accused of acting “without due approval from the competent authority”.
He once again approached the Central Administrative Tribunal, which later stayed the inquiry against him for probing alleged “misconduct by CMD and functional director, Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL), Jaduguda, in Jharkhand without permission.”

Transferred again
In April 2015, Rai was once again transferred, this time to the CRPF at Shillong. Two years later, in April 2017, he filed an internal report saying the March 30 encounter in Assam’s Chirang district, which killed two people, was “staged”.
The details of the report were published by the media and the home ministry initiated an inquiry, suspecting Rai was the source of the leak.
Also read: It’s Time to Recall the Other Gujarat Model
In June 2017, Rai was abruptly transferred to the Counter Insurgency and Anti Terrorism (CIAT) School of the CRPF in Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh.
In August 2018, Rai sought early retirement, which the Centre rejected.
Several other Gujarat police officers also hounded
During Modi’s reign as the chief minister of Gujarat, several police officers investigating the 2002 violence and the series of alleged fake encounters were targeted by the state government.
Some of the officers targeted were Rahul Sharma, R.B. Sreekumar and Sanjeev Bhatt, who deposed before the Commission of Inquiry regarding the government’s culpability in the 2002 riots. Rai, Satish Verma, part of the SIT probing the Ishrat Jahan encounter case and Kuldip Sharma, who pursued a corruption case which involved Amit Shah, were also targeted.
Lawyer Sarim Naved, writing for The Wire, said:
All these police officers who took on difficult cases against the government were first sought to be targeted during the course of their investigations. Almost all of them were denied promotion on the grounds of flimsy departmental chargesheets and had to approach the Central Administrative Tribunal for simple things like promotion. … What is odd about the treatment meted out to all these officers was that the attacks against them by the government have been so uniform. The pattern is the same. Denial of promotion, resurrection of old cases, filing of flimsy departmental chargesheets and an absurd criminal case or two.
Sanjiv Bhatt was arrested in September this year in connection with a 22-year-old drug seizure case. His bail plea was rejected earlier this month.

How Has the Supreme Court Fared During the Modi Years?
After five years of Modi rule, we see the Supreme Court timid, tentative, fragmented and vulnerable; wary of hurting the central executive which has grown mighty in strength.

12/APR/2019
The Supreme Court of India grew considerably in power and stature during the two decades since 1990, earning the epithet “the most powerful court in the world”. During this period, the Supreme Court conferred on itself the primacy in judicial appointments through the invented system of ‘collegium’, and substantially expanded its judicial review powers to intervene in several issues which were traditionally reserved for the executive. The weapon of “continuing mandamus” was sharpened by the Court, using which it passed orders and formulated guidelines on issues of social welfare, environment protection, electoral reforms etc.
The growth in power of the apex court was in tune with the corresponding decline in the assertiveness of central executive, which was mostly stitched together by hotchpotch alliances. The apex court emerged as the last bastion of hope in the eyes of public, who were disillusioned with political executive. The judiciary was seen as playing an activist role to compensate the inaction of the executive, which was perceived to be weak, compromised and corrupt.
But the 2014 elections changed the scenario. For the first time in past 30 years, the electorate returned a mandate with absolute majority. And for the first time after donning the activist-reformist role, the judiciary was encountering a government, which was strong on its feet in terms of numbers.
Has the Supreme Court been able to assert its independence in the face of new found assertiveness exhibited by the Central government? The answer cannot be an emphatic yes, as will be explained through the following issues.
Judicial appointments
The bitter experiences of Indira Gandhi-era, where judges were appointed, transferred and superseded at the whims of the executive, forced the judiciary to think of a solution to guard its independence. The Collegium system of judges appointing judges with a subdued role for the executive was the answer found by it.
However, post-2014, there has been a considerable shift in the power dynamics over judicial appointments.
Immediately after coming to power, the NDA government sought to establish who will get to call the final shots over judicial appointments. Giving no hoots about established conventions, the central government split up collegium recommendations to reject the proposal for elevation of senior advocate Gopal Subramanium. The then CJI R.M. Lodha responded strongly to this act of the Centre, and wrote to the law minister that the government should not adopt such “unilateral segregation” in the future.
However, Gopal Subramanium’s abrupt withdrawal of consent avoided a possible escalation of the confrontation between the two. He said that he was targeted for his role as amicus curiae in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case.

With the intent of wresting the primacy over judicial appointments from judiciary, the government soon brought in an amendment to the Constitution to create ‘National Judicial Appointments Commission'(NJAC). The amendment had a very short life, as within 10 months, it was struck down by a constitution bench of the Supreme Court by a 4:1 majority. Rather than constitutional wisdom, what is discernible in the majority judgment is the anxiety of the judiciary to preserve its own primacy in judicial appointments. The judgment acknowledged that the collegium system needed reforms, and said that a new Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) for judges appointment was to be formulated
Ever since the striking down of Constitutional amendment introducing NJAC, things have not been very smooth between the Centre and the Collegium. Union minister Arun Jaitley lashed out at the NJAC judgment terming it “tyranny of the unelected”. The major bone of contention between the two wings was the finalisation of MoP for appointment of judges.
Because of the stand-off between the government and the Collegium about MoP finalisation, judicial appointments got delayed. The Centre dragged its feet on the Collegium recommendations regarding judges’ appointments and transfers, leading to a spike in unfilled vacancies in high courts across the country. Many high courts such as the ones in Calcutta and Karnataka are now functioning with half the sanctioned strength, and lawyers have resorted to strike calling for filling up of vacancies.
In 2016, the Centre’s delay in processing the Collegium recommendations caused much anguish to the then CJI T.S. Thakur. While speaking at a public function in which PM Narendra Modi was also attending, CJI Thakur made an emotional appeal to the Centre to act promptly on judicial appointments and, in fact, broke down to tears during his speech. Neither his criticism nor the tears could move the government.

This period witnessed the Centre gradually establishing its one-upmanship regarding judicial appointments. The Centre wore brazenness on its sleeve while sending back the recommendation for elevation of Justice K.M. Joseph.
This pattern was followed in cases of controversial transfers of Justice Rajeev Shakdher, Justice Jayant Patel and Justice A.M. Kureshi (discussed in more detail in this article). Coincidentally, all these judges had at one of point of time in their judicial career passed verdicts adverse to the interests of the powerful establishment.
Another recurring trend was that of Centre ignoring the recommendations reiterated by the Collegium, blatantly violating the settled law that once a name is re-recommended by the Collegium, it is binding on the government (the instances are detailed in this article).
One can also see a consistent pattern of sitting over files, splitting up recommendations and selective acceptances of names by the Centre over the past five years. In some cases, files were kept pending for several months; while in some cases, the Centre acted within 48 hours of recommendation by the Collegium.
The Supreme Court has appeared confused and helpless in responding to the repeated snubs from the government on collegium recommendations. It has signalled its protests, but to not much avail. Former CJIs Lodha, Thakur, and Khehar have been very active in voicing concerns in this regard. The present CJI Ranjan Gogoi has also conveyed to the Centre his unhappiness over delay. However, the Centre has been giving a cold shoulder to these concerns.
Questionable verdicts in cases involving political stakes
The pre-2014 apex court was not hesitant in going against the Central executive in matters involving high political stakes. This was evident in the 2G licenses cancellation cases and coal scam cases. Though the coal-gate case verdict was delivered in September 2014 after the coming of NDA government, its hearings took place in the last leg of UPA-II, during which the court passed several oral remarks  (including the now famous “CBI is caged parrot” remark), badly stinging the government. The interventions of the court drew a lot of cheers from the media and public, which hailed judiciary as a crusader against corruption and misgoverance.
But post-2014, the SC presented a meeker version when it came to dealing with cases which could prick the political interests of the ruling party. The verdicts in politically charged cases such as Sahara-Birla, Loya, Bhima-Koregaon, Rafale, Aadhaar etc have invited a lot of criticism that when it comes to taking on the system, the Court acts hesitant.
Sahara-Birla papers case
The first one of such challenges was posed by the Sahara-Birla papers case. It was a PIL filed by the NGO Common Cause seeking a court monitored probe in respect of documents retrieved by the Income Tax department while raiding offices of the Sahara and Birla group of companies, which allegedly had entries suggesting giving crores of rupees as bribe to Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders.
The writ petitioner sought registration of FIR and court monitored probe, based on the dictum in Lalithakumari’s case that registration of FIR is mandatory when a complaint revealing cognizable offence is lodged.
The bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Amitava Roy dismissed the petition. But it was not a simple dismissal. The court aborted the issue once and for all, by declaring that the “materials in question are not good enough to constitute offences to direct registration of FIR”. The court could have simply dismissed the case, asking the petitioner to avail other statutory remedies. Instead, the court went on to adjudicate the merits of the matter, and held that the diary entries are not admissible in evidence as per Section 34 of the Evidence Act. The admissibility of the documents is not an issue which is to be looked into at the stage of investigation.
That issue arises only during the trial of the case. Only a full-fledged investigation can unearth other materials which can substantiate entries in the documents. Therefore, to abort investigation on the ground that documents are not admissible in evidence is like putting the cart before the horse. To decide whether to order investigation, the Supreme Court applied the yardstick of a trial court with regard to admissibility of evidence. The judgment appeared to be against the well established legal principle that for registration of FIR, allegation of cognizable offence is sufficient.
The Court’s approach was in stark distinction with its earlier approach adopted in the 2G case, where a court monitored probe was ordered on the basis of materials produced by the petitioner-NGO.
Loya case
Similar thing happened in the Loya case too, which was equally controversial with high political stakes. The case pertained to suspicions raised about the death of CBI judge B.H. Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin encounter case in which BJP chief Amit Shah faced conspiracy allegations.
Not only did the Court dismiss the petitions seeking independent probe into judge Loya’s death, but the court conclusively held that he died of natural causes. Constitutional lawyer Gautam Bhatia has commented that the judgment “reads like a trial court judgment that has been delivered without a trial”. The judgement authored by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud (for the bench of himself, CJI Dipak Misra and Justice Khanwilkar) placed unverified trust on the statements of judicial officers, who had said that Loya had died of natural causes.
The court refused to allow the cross-examination of those judicial officers. The court ought to have seen that the petitioners’ were praying for an independent investigation, and for ordering an investigation, it was enough to raise reasonable suspicion of commission of offence. There is no need to establish the offence with all materials for seeking an investigation. But all the questions were shut down with the “discreet enquiry report” produced by the state government, which was opposing the investigation tooth and nail.

The judgement, with its constant invocation of the theory that judicial officers will not make false statements, fails to satisfy an inquisitive and discerning mind. The conclusive findings are arrived at without following any fair process. The court ought to have borne in mind that it was closing the issue forever by its conclusive findings. Therefore, it was ethically incumbent on the court to hear the views of all stake-holders, like the family members of Judge Loya, reporters of the Caravan magazine who brought out the issue, etc before putting a permanent quietus to the issue. But such considerations of fairness and transparency were totally ignored by the SC.
Bhima Koregaon
The Bhima Koregaon case related to a PIL filed by Romila Thapar and four other eminent persons seeking SIT investigation over the UAPA charges against five activists Sudha Bhardwaj, Gautam Navlakha, Vernon Gonsalves, Varavara Rao and Arun Ferreira on the ground that investigation by Maharashtra police was biased. The case was dismissed by 2:1 majority, with the dissent of Justice Chandrachud.
While the majority opinion of the then CJI Dipak Misra and Justice Khanwilkar endorsed the probe by Maharashtra police, Justice Chandrachud disagreed saying that it was a case of arrest targeting political dissent. The majority opinion omitted from consideration certain facts which acted as heavy influencers in the dissent of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.
While the majority opinion is on set of facts ‘A’, the dissenting opinion is on set of facts ‘A+B’. The majority opinion does not care to state why the additional facts ‘B’, which caused the dissent, are not applicable or totally irrelevant for consideration. The majority was blissfully blind to those facts!
The dismissal of the case gave momentum to the ‘urban naxal’ narrative tailored by anti-constitutional propagandists to label those who question government policies.
Rafale case
In the Rafale case too, the approach of the court was not above criticism. While declining to order probe into corruption allegations over the deal by citing the limited scope of judicial review over defence deals, the court declared that decision making process was proper, accepting the government’s version on pricing and concluding that government did not interfere in selection of Reliance as offset partner.
To analyse the issue whether the alleged procedural irregularities in the deal gave raise to doubts of corruption, which warrant a court-monitored probe, there was no need to review the merits of the deal.
However, the court went on to do that. When there are conflicting versions of facts presented by two sides, the proper course would have been to entrust the job of facts collection to an independent agency. Instead, the court took the denial of one of the contesting parties at face value and sealed the issues with a seemingly conclusive force.

However, the court soon landed itself in embarrassment, as the government said that the judgment contained factual errors and required correction. The observations in the judgment regarding CAG tabling a report on the pricing details of the deal, and Parliamentary Accounts Committee verifying the same were termed as a misunderstanding of the information supplied by the government to the court in a sealed cover.
Since the court has decided to give a detailed hearing in open court to the review petitions, it is inappropriate to comment more. The court has decided to consider the review petition on merits, rejecting the objections of Centre against use of ‘privileged’ documents produced by petitioners in evidence.
CBI-Alok Verma
CBI-Alok Verma was a case of justice delayed. The case presented a straightforward question: whether divesting Alok Verma of the powers of CBI director amounted to his removal from the post, which needed sanction of the High Powered Selection Committee as per the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act. The CJI-led bench initially sought for the details of the corruption allegations against Verma in sealed cover. Later, the court chose to restrict itself to the point of need for sanction from Selection Committee, without touching on the merits of allegations.
When the court directed his reinstatement on January 10, it was too late, as Verma had only three weeks left in his term. The reinstatement was made subject to the sanction of Selection Committee.
Anyhow, the delay in the case ensured that the powers that wanted Verma out of the director post succeeded in doing so without facing legal consequences.
Aadhaar Act as a Money Bill
Another problematic decision delivered by the SC is the Aadhaar judgment, where it accepted that there was no illegality in introducing Aaadhaar Act as a money bill.
The majority judgment by Justice A.K. Sikri held that since Section 7 of the Act said that Aadhaar based identity authentication will be done for delivering of subsidies, benefits or services charged on the consolidated fund of India, it could be introduced as a money Bill. This incidental connection with consolidated fund of India qualified it as a money Bill, as per majority opinion. This is a highly puzzling logic.

As per Article 110 of the Constitution, a money Bill can have provisions only relating to the spending and receiving of money by the Union government. The manner in which identity of a person is authenticated before delivery of subsidies, services, benefits cannot be a concern of money Bill.
Criticising the judgment, Alok Prasanna Kumar wrote in The Wire:
A money bill has provisions only relating to the spending and receiving of money by the Union government. Nowhere does the majority judgement grapple with the meaning of this crucial word. Nowhere does it cite case law on the meaning of the word “only” and its implications for a clause such as this. Nowhere does it make the effort to segregate the provisions of the Aadhaar to see which ones would fall within the scope of Article 110.
Justice Chandrachud dissented and described the passing of Aadhaar Act as money Bill a “fraud on constitution”.
This judgment of the Constitution Bench will have far reaching consequences in legislative process, as it will embolden the government to completely bypass the Rajya Sabha by introducing any bill as a money bill by citing some remote connection with the consolidated fund of India.
Challenge to demonetisation, electoral bonds: No timely hearing
Another emerging trend seen in SC was the evasion of decision by delaying the hearing of highly controversial matters.
After the announcement of demonetisation in November 2016, several petitions were filed in SC challenging the decision. The petitions had raised substantial legal points such as whether the decision was unilaterally announced by the Government without the proper consultation of RBI Board. On November 25, 2016, the SC agreed to examine the constitutionality of the decision; Many of such concerns are found to be relevant in the light of post demonetisation-revelations and current status of economy. Anyhow, the petitions never got an effective hearing.

Similar was the fate of the petitions challenging electoral bonds scheme. These petitions were filed soon after the passing of Finance Act 2017, which introduced the legislative amendments for the scheme. However, the case became alive only by March 2019, by which time most of the electoral bonds have been purchased. The failure to consider these cases timely is a grave concern, as the Election Commission of India itself has come on record saying that the scheme has dangerous impact on transparency in political funding.
Executive interference in judicial administration?
Another disturbing concern is that of the revelations by judges regarding executive interference in administrative matters of judiciary such as appointment and constitution of benches.

Hints regarding this was dropped at the historic press conference held by four senior judges on January 12, 2018. Justice Chelameswar, who did most of the talking at the presser, said that administration of justice was not in order and that “many things which are less than desirable have happened in the last three months”.
The judges handed over to media a letter written by them to the then CJI Dipak Misra, which, among other things, stated that “cases having far-reaching consequences for the nation and judiciary were selectively assigned to benches of preference without any rational basis”.
More clarity on this issue was provided by Justice Kurian Jospeh, who in a post-retirement interview to Times of India said that there was “outside influence” in judiciary.
“Someone from outside was controlling the CJI(former CJI Dipak Misra).There were several instances of external influences on the working of the Supreme Court relating to allocation of cases to benches headed by select judges and appointment of judges to the Supreme Court and high courts. Starkly perceptible signs of influence with regard to allocation of cases to different benches, to select who were perceived to be politically biased.”

In this backdrop, it has to be borne in mind that the allocation of Loya case to the bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra (who headed the bench in the Sahara-Birla case) was one of the sudden trigger for the press conference. The case was later heard by a bench headed by CJI.
Justice Chelameswar has also made similar comments, while calling for a full court meeting to discuss government interference in appointments. To block the elevation of judge Krishna Bhatt to Karnataka HC, the central government had directly written to the then CJ of Karnataka HC Justice Dinesh Maheswari (now elevated to SC). Condemning such practice of the Centre directly communicating with the High Courts, Justice Chelameswar asserted that “bonhomie” between the judiciary and the government “sounds the death knell to democracy”
Judiciary left battered and enfeebled
Emboldened by its brute majority, the Modi government has embarked on open confrontation with the judiciary over several matters. The collision course with the political wing over five years has left the judiciary battered and enfeebled. Coupled with it, the controversies emanating from the court (medical college bribery case, master of roster issue, impeachment motion against former CJI Dipak Misra) made it look like a divided house and resulted in the erosion of moral authority it once enjoyed among public.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a dinner hosted by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on November 25, 2018.
At the same time, it will be an overstatement to say that the Supreme Court did not exhibit its reformist spirit to uphold constitutional values during this period. Subdued it may have been; but not totally extinguished.
In matters concerning civil liberties where there are no political stakes involved, the Court has adopted a progressive stand, expanding the transformative vision of the Constitution. This was clear in privacy case, Sabarimala case, and also judgments striking down Section 66A IT Act, Section 377 & 497 IPC.
To its credit, the court got the government to appoint the Lokpal, though belatedly, after a long inaction of five years. The Constitutional Bench judgment in Delhi-LG case is also notable, as it gave primacy to the decision of the elected government in Delhi, resisting the attempts of the central government to control it through LG. However, on the issue of who has the power to control services in Delhi, the SC could not reach a decision, and the matter stands referred to larger bench.
The midnight intervention of the court in the Karnataka assembly case, which ensured that proper democratic conventions will be followed in government formation, is also commendable.
But these instances are little rays of home amidst dense clouds of scepticism generated over independence of judiciary.
To sum up, after five years of Modi rule, we see the Supreme Court timid, tentative, fragmented and vulnerable, wary of hurting the central executive which has grown mighty in strength.

Police complaint against CJI

DALIT   ONLINE   –  e  News Weekly
Spreading the light of humanity & freedom
Editor: Nagaraja.M.R.. Vol.15..Issue.24......16 / 06 / 2019




 POLICE  NOT  REGISTERING  COMPLAINT   AGAINST  CHIEF  JUSTICE OF  INDIA  &  OTHERS

From,
NAGARAJA.M.R.
LIG-2 / 761, HUDCO FIRST STAGE,
LAXMIKANTANGAR, HEBBAL,
MYSORE - 570017.

To,
Honourable DG & IG of Police ,
State Police H.Q ,
Bangalore.

Honourable  Madam / 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


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 doesn’t 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 don’t 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 don’t 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 don’t 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 it’s 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 , people’s 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 hon’ble 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 india’s 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.

We do have highest respect for all constitutional bodies , public servants , but it is an appeal to the honest few in public service ,to bring to book their corrupt colleagues.The Honourable Chief Justice of India & H.E.Honourable President of India have violated their oaths of office , failed in their constitutional duties , suppressed material truths / informations & thereby repeatedly violated my Constitutionally guaranteed FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS & BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS & Obstructing me from performing constitutionally prescribed FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES AS A CITIZEN OF INDIA.

Hereby , i do request you to legally prosecute the below mentioned public servants  ACCUSED CRIMINALS  viz
1.    H.E.Honourable President of India
2. Honourable Chief Justice Of India
3. Union Home Secretary , GOI
4. Governor , Reserve Bank Of India
5. Director-General & Inspector General Of Police , government of karnataka
6. Commissioner , Bangalore Development Authority

8. Commissioner , Mysore City Corporation
9. Labour Commissioner , government of karnataka and
10. all public servants belonging to tax dept , pollution control board , etc mentioned in the above cases with web links, on the above mentioned charges.
 the whole issue of this news paper & the related materials at the weblinks provided, forms part of this
complaint. 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

Editorial : Complaint   to  Honourable  Delhi Police Commissioner  and Honourable  Union Minister for Home affairs  GOI  New  Delhi


Honourable Sir,
    As per law , when a crime happens within an organization during office hours it is the primary duty of head of organisation to make a written complaint about the incident  to jurisdiction police irrespective of internal department enquiry. The police must  immediately  register complaint / FIR, second must take the accused into custody to prevent destruction , manipulation  of evidences , threatening of witnesses.
Here in the case of  sexual harassment by CJI Ranjan Gogoi  why police have not registered FIR ? Why police didn't take him into custody & question him ? By letting the accused  free in his powerful position , accused & his stooges vilified the sufferer , threatened her. Clearly police are hand in gloves with the accused. CJI has got immunity privileges only for his judicial actions not his personal actions / crimes.
Hereby we urge you to immediately register FIR in this case, to take accused  CJI into police custody & question him. To register criminal cases against  CJI , colleagues of accused , stooges of accused  and police who are covering up the case , threatening the victim , defaming the victim.
SHAME SHAME  SCI  Judges

Recently a  woman  colleague of  Supreme Court Chief  Justice  made two allegations against CJI Ranjan Gogoi  one he sexually harassed her while on official duty and two to silence her from speaking out  persecuted her family by dismissal from jobs , fixing in false case, etc.

Her allegations may be true or not , only  impartial  transparent investigation will reveal. However  by not registering police case , FIR and not doing investigation as per vishaka guidelines POSH Act  and by trying  to whitewash  bury the case in the form of  hand picked committee  definitely  CJI & SCI judges have done the crimes of denial of justice. The cover up act itself proves  indeed the accused  CJI has done something illegal.
In previous occasions too previous CJI was accused of giving false affidavit , involvement in medical college scam. Former Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh accused in his dying declaration that  supreme court judges asked for bribe to get favourable judgement. All these cases were buried. Central government  too  kept mum on quid pro quo basis.

Legally prosecute  CJI Ranjan Gogoi & other judges in a transparent  impartial manner to unearth the truth. Remove these judges from judicial duties till cases are completed. These judges enjoy lakes of rupees salary , perks from public money, enjoy 5 star bungalows , AC luxury cars , flight travel , premium hospital facility , paid vacations , etc  still arrogant enough to  reject public accountability. Judges are not loyal to their paymaster public nor to Constitution of India. SHAME    SHAME.

Judges must abide by law before Preaching it to others

It is the duty of Supreme Court of India to Protect , Guard the constitutional rights , fundamental rights of every Indian citizen . Since 25 years  I am  appealing  to SCI  about  issues concerning public welfare , national security , etc and as a result suffering injustices , my constitutional rights , human rights are repeatedly violated  but SCI is mum even when repeated appeals were made to it. Paradoxically , after these appeals for justice , I have suffered more injustices , attempts on my life were made ,  physically assaulted , livelihood  / jobs were  denied , news publication closed , press accreditation denied ,  received threatening  calls , blank calls, even to date  rough elements follow us , rough elements  scout  near home at mid night. Does  not these indicate some ties between rough elements & SCI  Judges ?

Public Interest Litigation is an appeal  for justice  to the courts , to redress  the injustices meted out to  the public.  Individual cases of injustices  pertaining to an individual are not covered under PIL, however  an individual an activist  who  is fighting for public causes  suffering  injustices  as a result of   his struggle  ,caused by powers that be to silence him  can club  his individual case under the public causes  (PIL ) he is  appealing.

Nowadays people of questionable character , integrity  are being selected to public posts , end result is present day india.  In the following web sites I have shown  few actual cases of crimes by judges & police , just imagine what type of justice common man gets.

Crimes  by  Khaki
https://www.scribd.com/document/334590032/Crimes-by-Khaki  ,
 Police show full bravery , courage , use  full might of law while acting against innocents , commoners. Even  takes suo motto action. Frequently crosses legal limits  while acting against commoners like 3rd degree torture , arrest / search  , seizure without warrant , arrest in mid night , etc . While they are supposed to take action against rich crooks , their own corrupt colleagues  no suo motto action , delayed action inspite of complaint  allowing time for rich crook to get anticipatory bail , no 3rd degree torture on him , no arrest , search , seizure without warrant. Where is the bravery , courage of police ?
Judges show their full wisdom , apply rigid law book while  judging cases of commoners , take suo motto action  where as  cases involving rich crooks comes before them inspite of repeated PILs they don’t consider it , let alone take suo motto action. Judges make far fetched interpretations of law , ultimately benefitting the rich crook. Where is the wisdom of Judges ?

I ,NAGARAJA.M.R. hereby do declare that information given above are true to the best of my knowledge & belief. 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 , rich crooks , criminals 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 , death due to improper medical care , 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.
   Powers that  be , higher ups have referred all my previous cases to police although in most of the cases  police don’t  have jurisdiction over it.  It  sends  a subtle message by police force to  the  complainant  to keep silent . In the remaining cases  which are under their jurisdiction police  don’t act against higher ups , high & mighty. In such cases police lack  practical powers , their hands are tied although they  are  honest.  As a end result , police  have repeatedly called   me to police station  number of  times  ( have never called guilty  influential persons even once)  took  statement  from  me and closed  the files.  Hereby , I do make it clear  the statements made by me  in my original petitions , PILs , news papers  , etc  while I was in  a free & fair atmosphere  are  TRUE  , over rides , prevails over all the statements made by me before police  earlier and  which will be made by me  in future before police.

If I or my family members or my dependents are denied our fundamental rights , human rights , denied proper medical care for ourselves , If anything untoward happens to me or to my dependents or to my family members - In such case Chief Justice of India together with the jurisdictional revenue & police officials will be responsible for it , in such case 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 police officials , Judges , public servants & Constitutional functionaries.

Answer  Honourable  CJI  SCI , Honourable  Chairman , NHRC &  Honourable  DG & IG of  Police  GOK

To
Honourable Chairman
National Human Rights Commission
New Delhi.

Honourable Sir,

Since 1990 , I as a citizen of India have brought to notice of SCI , NHRC & Police various crimes  hoping for justice to the  suffering public. Supreme court of India has enough time to judge trivial issues concerning movies , cricket , etc  but it doesn’t  have time to judge public  issues concerning national security , accountability of judges , police , public servants  in all these 28 years.  After repeatedly appealing for justice , powers that be have meted out injustices to me personally to silence me. SCI has failed in it’s duties  since 28 years , but judges are taking  hefty pay , perks from our money , public money  without feeling of shame or guilt.

Hereby , I request Honourable CJI , SCI , Honourable Chairman , NHRC & Honourable DG & IG of Police , Government of Karnataka  , to  provide information  by answering  following questions :

Subject : REPLY / OBJECTIONS in Case No. 888/10/15/2014

Following points are my reply / objections to case closure refer your letter dated 18.09.2018. My whole hearted respects to honest few in judiciary , police & public service.

1. Since 1990 how many applications of PIL , RTI are received by SCI , NHRC & Karnataka Police from me  NAGARAJA M R ?
2. How many show cause notices  are served to CJI , SCI  by Nagaraja M R , since 1990 ?
3. Details of action taken in each case. If not why ?
4. Why compensation amount is not yet paid by CJI , SCI or NHRC to NAGARAJA M R , till date ?
5. How CJI , SCI  & NHRC are  going to  protect the lives , civil rights of NAGARAJA M R & his family members ?  If anything untoward happens to NAGARAJA M R & his family members  CJI , SCI  is responsible together with NHRC , jurisdiction police & district magistrate.
6. Why no  criminal legal prosecution of CJI , NHRC Chairman , police , public servants  for their failure of duties ?
7. Honourable CJI , SCI  , Honourable Chairman , NHRC & Honourable DG & IG of Police , Government of Karnataka  read  full case details at following web sites & honestly
ANSWER :
 https://sites.google.com/site/dalitoonline/answer-cji---loya-murder    ,             https://sites.google.com/site/dalitoonline/interrogate-chief-justice ,

8. Statement of police are half truth.
9. Statements / complaints made by me in my e mails / e news paper when I was in free & fair atmosphere holds good forever. It overrides statements made before police.
10. Some of the complaints made by me are pending since years/  decades. Other than police summoning me repeatedly to question me , to take my statements , What else they have done?  Just based on my statements before police , police have filed case closures  subsequently NHRC / SCI   also  followed the  same course.  what other action did they take for years ? Did police , NHRC / SCI summon high & mighty people mentioned in my complaints even once ? Did they take their statements ? Did they conduct investigations? What are the outcome of those investigations ? Did police find out the persons & their motives for silencing me ? Did police police take action against them ? Have police formally requested government & supreme court for sanction to enquire powerful people enjoying legal immunity privileges? If not why ?
11. Fed up with inaction of police for years and understanding their practical difficulties I have appealed to NHRC and Supreme Court of India by way of PILs seeking justice. Till date I have not got justice from NHRC or SCI.
12. Public servants take thousands of rupees salary , perks every month on time without fail from public exchequer. But some of them don't do their duties properly in time. public made to wait for justice indefinitely for years together.
13. Is it not the duty of government to protect life , rights of all citizens and to enable them to perform their duties ? If goverment cannot do it’s  duties  then such public servants are  waste bodies.
14.  Does not the  denial of justice in the above cases  to me  amount to cover up of crimes by police & judges ?
15. I have answered questions of police , IB number of times now it is the turn of police, judges to answer my questions seeking truth. Please read following web pages and answer within six weeks :

31. I have  appealed to SCI regarding  cases of atrocities against Dalits. Till date no proper legal action taken why ?
32. Are not the delays by you amount to denial of justice by way of time bar of case or death of  applicant ?

Legal  Notice  to  Honourable Chief Justice of India


To,
Honourable Chief Justice of India,
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA,
New Delhi.

Honourable Sir ,

Subject : Legal Notice to Chief Justice of India

Are  Judges , Police  PERFECT ? Satya Harishchandra ?

Hereby , I challenge Chief Justice of India  in the exercise of my FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES  as a citizen of india , that subject to conditions  I will  legally prove the crimes of  few  judges , police , public servants within  the government service and other  criminals.  Is the CJI ready  to book those criminals , traitors , anti nationals ?
Since 25 years I am appealing to apex court for justice concerning various public issues , no justice in sight but injustices meted out  one after another. But the same  judges are  SHAMELESSLY  taking huge pay perks for years.  Parasites  feeding  on  Indian  Public. Whenever questions of accountability are asked  judges level contempt charges  against  the  questioner  or police  fix  him in  fake cases or he is silenced by threats , murders , denial of jobs , etc.
Since 25 years  in many  ways they  are trying to silence me. Just take the recent example of Justice Karnan  who leveled corruption  charges  against specific judges  with CJI. Instead of  conducting a fair investigation into the matter , CJI  tried to silence him by  serving  him contempt notice.

Our Judges , Police are  NOT  Perfect  Not Satya Harischandras . There are  criminals  as well as honest people  side by side  in  judiciary & police.  We  whole heartedly respect honest few in judiciary , police & public service. But  we  detest  corrupt  judges , corrupt police. Honest  Judges & Police are not coming into open to  prosecute their corrupt colleagues,  why ? silenced ?

Criminalization of  all wings of government has taken place , unfit people  are in the positions of power. Corruption in judiciary , police , CBI , CVC , Public service is rampant. Now MAFIA is at work.  Only few scandals , scams become public , many  are buried. If one criminal public servant is caught  other public servant who is also a criminal conducts name sake investigation , gives  report , clean chit. Law courts rely on the government reports as evidences , courts are not bothered about credibility of reports or investigations. It is quid pro quo. Therefore technically criminal public servants are never proved for their crimes & convicted , as investigation itself is not fair.

A Crime may happen without the knowledge of police  but  cann’t  continue for years without the connivance of police.  A  Crime reported to court  cann’t  continue  for years without  connivance of judges.

At the bottom  of  the paper , I have given web sites about  few  ACB raids on government officials  and unearthing of crores worth property.  How they have earned it , by misusing their official positions. Therefore  government reports , records  prepared by these officials , investigations conducted by  corrupt police  are suspect.  But  Law courts in various cases , considers government reports , records  , statements of government officials as sacrosanct . Therefore  in many cases  injustice is meted out by court  , as they depend on  reports of corrupt government officials , corrupt police.

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  himself  commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public  and obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what happens ?
     "Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts.  They will fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the  forewarning of  Late Winston Churchill  has been proved right by  some of our  criminal , corrupt people’s representatives , police , public servants &  Judges.

I don’t 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.
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 , HRW’s 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 don’t you have given powers to the police / investigating officer to summon all of you for enquiry ?or else why don’t all of you are not appearing before the police voluntarily for enquiry ?at the least why don’t 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. Even  Press  accreditation  to me as a web journalist is denied till date.  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.
9. You are responsible for  crime cover ups mentioned in my RTI Appeals , PILs and continuation of those crimes unabated.
10. You are  responsible  for denial of information,  which  vindicates the crimes of powers that be.
11. You are responsible for physical assaults , murder attempts on me.
12. You are responsible for  job denials to me at NIE , PES Engineering college , RBI Press , Mysore , Bangalore Courts.
13. You are responsible for my  illegal retrenchment from RPG Cables ,  denial of  medical care to  me towards occupational  health  problems.
14. You are responsible for denying me legal aid.
15. You are responsible for illegal closure of my news paper.
16. You are responsible for  denial of press accreditation  to me as a web journalist till date.
17. You are responsible for repeatedly  passing on my appeals to police. So that  they can  take  statements , close the file under the threat of police power.
18. You  have violated my Human Rights & Fundamental Rights.
19. In terms  of  Integrity , Honesty  You & other public servants are  nowhere near  Baba Saheb B R Ambedkar , Mahatma Gandhi  &  Satya Harishchandra . Many Public servants are  UNFIT to be in their posts.



You are hereby called upon to Pay damages to me and SHOW-CAUSE within 30 days , why you cann’t be legally prosecuted for the above mentioned crimes . If you don’t answer  it  will be admission of the  charges  by you.   It will amount to confession of crimes on your own.



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 , Chief Justice of India & Jurisdictional District Magistrate 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.

Editorial  :  Dalits , Muslims & Cow Slaughter
-          An  Appeal  to  H.E.President  of  India

       Bigger stronger animal  feeds  on smaller weak animal.  Law of Nature.  In the same way , all over the world  in a particular area or  a  country stronger majority community   subjugates  the weak , smaller communities. 
       Since  centuries  dalits  were subjugated into doing menial jobs  and   their livelihood depended on whatever  was thrown  at  them.  Civilizations  dawned , people  became civilized in their  outlook , but deep inside  uncivilized , animal  resides in many people.
     There are good as well as bad people in all communities, religions & all walks of life.  Whenever  a terrorist  strike  happens ,  Muslims  are blamed.  For all miseries  in India , Dalits are blamed.  Just imagine  if there was no barber , how civilized a person will be without hair cutting ?  Just think there is no  sweeper   to clean drainage line ,  how   houses , roads will be  full of excreta , human rejections , how stinky &  disease prone it will be ?
    Dalits are doing yeoman   commendable  service  to society ,  keeping  all the others in a civilized manner  in a healthy environment. Nobody recognizes their service.  Since centuries , dalits were entrusted with the job of removing carcass of cattles, it was not their choice, it was  mandated by majority community at that time. Being utterly poor ,  dalits  depended on  cattle meat for food and  used  bones , hides for footwear , etc. .  Now , few individuals  all of a sudden  are trying to turn upside down , this centuries old practice and  cow vigilantes are attacking  dalits. Few are taking law into their hands.  What  three  great  acharyas – Sri Shankaracharya , Sri Ramanujacharya , Sri  Madhwacharya  failed to achieve , what  Sri Gowthama Buddha ,  Sri Mahaveera  failed to achieve  stopping animal killing , now cow vigilantes are trying to achieve  the same with violence.
    Say , after two decades  few  groups , individuals will proclaim everybody must stop eating vegetarian food . Then  can  all veggies  turn into non veg , not feasible.   With regards to certain section of society eating non veg is a taboo , with others  non veg with exclusion of beef , pork is ok. Food is the choice of individual.
   Now ,  let us see the facts  for practical way forward :
1.      Since centuries Dalits  are in the  profession of  cow slaughter not by choice , but by compulsion of times.
2.      Since centuries  dalits &   others   are eating beef as it is cheaper than other meat.
3.      Cows  are  holy  for hindus equivalent to mother herself  and equivalent to god.  Cow products are  used since centuries in  hindu religious rituals.
4.      In rural house holds , when a  mother dies while delivering baby or  when  a mother  cann’t breast feed baby due to lack of milk  , COW in the  house hold becomes  a  surrogate  mother for the baby. Baby  feeds , lives on cow’s  milk.
5.      Inspite of such great respect  many hindu  folk  sell  old  , barren , diseased cows  to muslim or dalit   buyers  knowing  fully  well  that  buyer cann’t  get milk from  the cow  only he can get meat & hide from slaughtering it. Some  hindu  folk  drive away  old , diseased , barren cows  from their home. It is same as driving away old , diseased mother  , deserting our own mother.
6.      In  many Islamic  countries , jewish  countries    pig  meat /  pork  is banned ,  hindus  & Christians  who go to such countries for job / business   abide  by  laws  of Islamic countries.  They give up eating pork although way back in their home countries  they consume pork.

Practical Way  Forward :
1.      Banning cow slaughter , beef   is ok in national interest ,  in the  interest of religious sentiments of a community.
2.      Government must provide alternate food items to consumers at affordable prices than beef.
3.      Government  must  extend helping hand to Dalits , Muslims who are  in cow slaughter trade to switch over to other business.
4.      Government  must  charge sheet the seller of  cows , deserter of cows  not merely transporter  , buyer  or  the  butcher.
5.      Government must discourage farmers  from rearing cattles when they are incapable of  looking after old cattles.
6.      Government must educate people  about reducing  milk products consumption; When Milk  products consumption reduces automatically  rearing of cattle reduces.
7.      Most important of all ,  when  a pork  eating  Indian  goes to  Saudi Arabia  on job assignment and  lives  there for two decades. When he can  simply  give up pork , follow the rule of pork ban and change his dietary habbits ,  why cann’t others  reciprocate the same here with respect to beef ban.
8.      Government must adopt a way of educating  people about good dietary habbits  rather than policy  of stick.
9.      Cow vigilantes who take law into their own hands instead of reporting to authorities must be legally prosecuted.
10. Government must  set up   FREE  Cow sheds with  adequate fodder  supplies  all over the country on urgent basis to accommodate orphaned cows , diseased cows and old cows.  If government fails  to set up  it proves it’s  vanity.

Bottomline :  As per scientific studies , human beings digestive system has evolved to digest  vegetarian food  not non vegetarian food.  Choice is left to consumers.


India tops in cow slaughterhouse and most slaughtering are doing Hindus
By SKN WEB - Tuesday, April 28, 2015

India tops in cow slaughterhouse and most slaughtering are doing Hindus. Recently I just came to know about the slaughterhouse rank in India, and most slaughtering are doing Hindus. After Brazil India is second highest, below is a pathetic story about slaughterhouse processes. Here India’s largest al Kabeer slaughterhouse taken in. I am not sure about the authenticity of this write-up, please being verified yourself.

Al-Kabeer exports Pvt.Ltd. Rudraram Village, Andhra Pradesh, Patancheru, Medak, Hyderabad – 500 033.

 Do you know that the biggest cow slaughterhouse (cow killing factory) in the WORLD is located just 30 km from Hyderabad in “Rudraram village” near Patancheru. It is called Alkabir in built nearly 400 acres of land with High security and most workers are Hindus. The story of Al-Kabir Hyderabad Tyranny: Don’t think that these animals are killed easily and painlessly. Their agonies start along before they are dead. They are brought to Alkair in trucks, from far away distances for economy, 20-25 huge buffalo are stacked up in each truck. Nobody cares to feed them food, or even water while in transit. They are packed so tightly in the truck, that they are hurt by each other. By the time they arrive, they are no more capable of standing on their own feet! They are moved with force of whips…

They are brought into the final ground, where at least a thousand animals are stored. This is their last open air. They are kept here for four days, hungry and thirsty. Then their legs are broken and eyes poked, so that a ‘Certificate’ can be obtained about their uselessness. The hunger and thirst of four days cause the hemoglobin to move from blood in to fat. The meat with higher hemoglobin fetches better prices.

Now these animals are pushed into washing showers. Extremely hot water (200 degrees centigrade!) is sprayed on them for five minutes, to soften their skins, so they will be easy to remove. The animal’s faints at this point, but it is not dead yet. Now it is hung upside down with one leg, on a chain-pulley conveyor. Then half of the neck is slit. This drains the blood, but does not kill the animal. After death, the skin swells thick, which sells for a poor price. But the skin of live Animals is still thin, which has better economic value. On one side the blood is dripping from the neck, and on the other side a hole is made in stomach, from which air is pumped inside. This causes the body to swell, making it easier to peel the skin. After removing the leather, the animal is cut into four pieces: head, legs, body, and tail.

 The machines remove bones, and pack small pieces of meat into cans for shipping to Alkabir’s headquarters in Hyderabad. From there it is shipped to Mumbai for exporting to its final destination. Working! Most of the people working here are Hindus. The Director, Subhash Sabarwal, is an NRI in Dubai, and his brother, Satish Sabarwal, manages the plant. The other principals are Ghulam Mohammed Sheikh (Dubai), Dilip Himmat Kothari, B.N. Raman, etc. Even though the main workers on cutting machines are from Kerala and Muslims from Mumbai, the administration, security, etc. consists mainly of Hindus.

There are several other equally large (or large) plants in India, owned and operated similarly by NRI’s and Arab citizens in cooperation. The people working here are paid very handsomely. This is a big attraction. A monthly salary of Rs. 50,000 to 75,000 is common. At the site, there are many veterinarians, but their job is not to save healthy live. Their only concern is to see that the meat does not carry any germs which may hurt the customers. In fact, there is a small army of government veterinarians, whose job is to see that healthy and useful animals do not get butchered. But these corrupt officials write false certificates according to wishes of Alkabir. You cannot easily enter Alkabir, because outside people are not allowed in there. Even the local veterinarians and police cannot go inside, so there is no question about the other local poor people even coming close to its boundaries…Security is tightened at nights with hunting dogs. Now the neighboring people do not even come close to it.

AGAINST CRUELTY IN INHUMAN SLAUGHTERHOUSES

"...Everyday millions of people go to McDonalds or Kentucky Fried Chicken and enjoy a juicy hamburger or consume a crispy, golden-fried chicken. Billions of families around the world eat meat and share laughs together over the dinner table. But, what goes on behind the closed doors of slaughterhouses before producers deliver perfectly packaged meat to our grocery stores?

Employees of Kentucky Fried Chicken, one of the biggest fast-food chains of poultry, were caught in July 2004, torturing their chickens for fun. Workers were videoed stomping on chickens, kicking them, and slamming them violently against floors and walls. Workers also ripped the animals' beaks, twisted their heads off, spray-painted their faces, and squeezed the chickens' bodies until they would die.

Each year a person will consume 230 pounds of meat. Together, the world consumes 2.6 billion pounds of dairy cow a year. Eight billion animals a year are slaughtered for food. However, the conditions under which they are processed are brutal. For example, animals are supposed to have space when they are transported but instead they are packed together, not having any room to move, walk, and barely breathe. This causes many animals to become sick. Some die on the way.

In fact, half a million animals a year that arrive at slaughterhouses are either dead or in unacceptable condition for slaughter. Many of the remaining animals have broken limbs. Even these are further injured when they are unloaded.

Other forms of brutality include the "Halal method," where the animal's neck is slit in two and a half spots and, while conscious, allowed to bleed to death. A similar "method" is hanging the live, fully conscious animals upside down while their carotid arteries are cut.

Once aware of these procedures, many fast-food fans are reconsidering their diets. "It is repulsive and sick what is being committed by humans to animals in the U.S.," said Ashley Coutier, a resident of Sparta. "It should be stopped as soon as possible."

In 1960, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was passed, but unfortunately everyday laws are violated, and the truth needs come out. "I have heard about some of the things slaughterhouses do, but there are some things I just don't want to know and I am better off not knowing about," said Steve Snow, a sophomore at Sparta High School..."
http://media.www.tchnews.com/media/storage/paper840/news/2008/03/10/News/Animal.Cruelty.In.Slaughterhouses-3259951.shtml




"...A wise woman named Linda McCartney once said, %u201CIf slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone in the world would be a vegetarian%u201D.
This is one of the truest statements ever made. If people thought about or saw what really happens to animals in slaughterhouses for more than a second, it would get to them and they would not be able to bring themselves to still be a carnivore. Those animals endure some of the cruelest treatment and neglect. Also, slaughterhouses are kept in the most unsanitary conditions and violate more laws then almost any other business. The slaughter of animals for human consumption should be banned.
First of all, the statistics show it would benefit land, animals%u2019 lives, and the grain and food supply if we stopped eating meat. Each person consumes 230 pounds of animals each year. Together we consume 2.6 billion pounds of dairy cow a year. There has been an increase in the amount of animals we consume and how much grain it%u2019s taking to feed them. Eight billion animals a year are slaughtered for food. [Ed. note: In 2002 the total was ten billion.]
The breakdown of each animal that is slaughtered is 38 million cows and calves, 95 million hogs, 5 million sheep and goats, 278 million turkeys, 20 million ducks, and over 7 billion chickens. The average cow should live 20 years but because they are not allowed to have a normal life and they are just raised to be slaughtered, the average life expectancy is 6 to 8 years, and sometimes even then the cows only live to 14 months. The amount of animals that are raised annually for slaughter is 30 times more then the total human population in the US, and more then the number of humans in the world.
Twenty years ago livestock consumed 6% of Mexico%u2019s grain and today they consume nearly 50%, and in Canada 77% of their grain is used to raise livestock. If American countries alone would reduce their meat consumption by just 10% that would save enough grain to feed 60 million people. The reality is it takes 4 acres of land to feed a meat eater, but only 1/2 an acre or less to feed a vegetarian. On 1/2 an acre of land 10,000lbs of apples and 20,000lbs of potatoes can be grown successfully into food. Only 100lbs of beef can be raised on that. Over a lifetime, a vegetarian will save 21 cows, 14 sheep, 12 hogs, and 1400 chickens from being slaughtered. They will also save 1 acre of trees a year from being cut down.
Slaughterhouses shouldn%u2019t be allowed to still be in operation. They have violated almost every restriction, law, and rule that has been placed on their industry. Almost everything added to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act in 1960 is being violated. It%u2019s known that no matter what the animals condition is the butcher takes it into their own hands to make the most money possible. There are rules about loading and unloading that are broken every second. The animals are supposed to have space when they are transported but instead they are packed together like sardines.
There are rules about cruelty to animals such as no torturing or subjecting them to unnecessary pain and suffering, and no keeping them in cages that there is not sufficient room to go with their measurements. One of the biggest issues is that the animals are not supposed to be exposed to their own kind getting slaughtered, but they are constantly having to watch their own kind getting dragged mercilessly to their brutal death. It%u2019s also against the law to slaughter animals below 6 months, pregnant animals, sick animals, and young animals who are supplying milk. A slaughterhouse in Texas had 22 violations during a period of 6 months. During one of those inspections there were 9 live cattle found dangling from an overhead chain. Yet this is how slaughterhouses operate over and over again each day. It doesn%u2019t help that cases against them are usually not pursued because venturing deep into slaughterhouses is not an idea liked by officials. Transporting animals should be like transporting a human, each one having their own space and each one being reasonably taken care of.
However, if people were treated like the livestock while riding a bus or any other kind of transportation, many people would be facing serious charges. Just because it is abuse to an animal and not a human doesn%u2019t mean any less should be done about it. Animals are packed and pressed together so close into vehicles that they can%u2019t move and can barley breathe. A lot of times just in the process of loading the animals they will trample each other to death and blind one another with their horns. The law states that in that process they should have food, water, veterinary services, and protection from natural elements (wind, rain, fire, etc.). That is the care that any living thing should be entitled too. Those poor animals don%u2019t ever get to see a drop of any of those things though. While getting an animal from a distant place into the city where they are loaded, the animals are sometimes made to run there.
No matter what the whether conditions are. Red chili powder is put in their eyes in order to force them to run faster. They are beaten and severely tortured just to accomplish getting them to a destination. Sometimes the drivers of the vehicles make fast turns and stops that causes the animals to get knocked around and injured. The animals fall on each other which causes suffocation and more broken bones. When it finally comes down to unloading the animals, the condition they are in is appalling. Half a million animals a year that arrive at slaughterhouses are dead or in unacceptable condition for slaughter. Other animals are half dead but are still just picked up and thrown down on the concrete. Many have broken limbs but are further injured when they are getting unloaded. The handlers don%u2019t bother with kindness or care because they figure they are going to face the butchers knife anyway.
While keeping the animals before it%u2019s their time to be slaughtered they endure a series of inhumane procedures and treatment. PETA described what they witnessed one morning at a slaughterhouse %u201CBy 10:00 a.m. there were already more than a dozen downed cattle. One bull kept trying to rise to his feet but could not. He struggled before collapsing under the scorching sun, blood oozing out of his nose; his legs and horns broken.%u201D This is one example of what someone saw, but there are things that happen like that every day.
There is also a videotape that was secretly set up in an Iowa pork plant that caught live hogs squealing and kicking as they were being lowered into a tank of water. Unfortunately, there are things that are more unbelievable then that which happen and have not been caught on tape yet. However, even though it%u2019s not captured on tape we do know some other things that happen in slaughterhouses. Some of the treatment includes the use of electric prods, castration with no anesthetic, branding and tail docking with no pain relief, and hot iron de-horning with no pain relief. The de-horning involves pressing scorching heat onto the calves horns for a full 30 seconds then repeating it on the other side for another 30 seconds. Also, de-beaking with no pain relief. For that they use hot glue guns or cigarette lighters to cut through bone, cartilage, and tissue of the birds. In a different part of the slaughter house there may be birds that are alive and dangling by their feet on metal hooks. Electricity stuns them as they roll on the line for the neck blade to come down and kill them. Other handling that the animals are subjected to is the hens are forced into a schedule that restricts their water for 2 weeks and cows are limited to 2 milkings a day, when they are supposed to have 6. The average life span of a hen is 16 years but with what they endure in slaughterhouses it%u2019s shortened to 18 months. Roosters aren%u2019t that lucky, they are gassed right away and their remains are sent to rendering plants. Others don%u2019t get to be put out of their misery so fast.
There are animals that have their legs broken or hacked off so they can%u2019t run away. Some animals who are incapacitated are left laying around for days, suffering much neglect. If they%u2019re left laying outside long enough, a number of them freeze to death in the winter and fry to death in the summer. Many of the animals suffer the equivalent to that when they are dragged with chains and pushed with tractors, causing torn ligaments and broken bones.
The way in which the animals are slaughtered is tragic. The animals suffer copious amounts of pain and are sometimes alive and alert when they are being slaughtered. Every animal is supposed to be separated from others, be rendered unconscious, and then be slaughtered. They are not supposed to be dragged by their legs, ears, and horns. However, that usually is how it is done.
There are a few methods of slaughtering that are practiced, and not one is humane and how it%u2019s supposed to be done. One is decapitating the animal. Another is the Halal method where the neck is slit in 2 1/2 spots while they are conscious and that forces them to bleed to death. In that case the animal is alive and aware that they are severely bleeding and they are in excruciating pain. Burying an animal%u2019s head in the ground is not a common practice but it is still used. That way they are suffocated to death. One of the most mortifying ways of slaughtering is %u201Csticking a long iron rod through the anal opening, through the body, and making it emerge through the mouth%u201D.
All the while the animal, usually a pig, is squealing endlessly. Sometimes there is not even that much effort put into slaughtering the animal and they will just burn them to death. Cattle are many times stunned in the head with a steel bolt, their throats are slit, then they are left laying around to bleed to death. The bleeding method is used when they want the least damage to the carcass as possible. The animal is cut in a place where they will bleed the fastest. One man that has worked in a slaughterhouse says %u201CThey blink. They make noises. The head moves, the eyes are wide and looking around%u201D. He watches animals die a slow and painful death everyday when the animals are perfectly alive and conscious. He also said, %u201CSome would survive as far as the tail cutter, the belly ripper, and the hide puller. They die, piece by piece". Many animals do make it as far as being skinned when they are still living and feeling pain to the fullest.
Last of all, slaughterhouses do the least proficient job of cleaning up after animals are killed. It would be bad enough living near a slaughterhouse, but many neighbors say the worst thing is not the thought. They are constantly inhaling the nauseating stench each and every day. Neighbors also have entrails, skin, joints, and blood being dropped onto their property. Birds of prey get a hold of the barley disposed remains, fly away with them, then drop it on the near by people%u2019s land. There are usually rivers of blood flowing around the slaughterhouses and sometimes make it as far as to where the neighbors can see or smell it. The bones are boiled on the slaughter house premise which causes them to create further pollution and stench. The skins are sitting around outside in piles, sometimes for long periods of time, waiting for the tanneries to come pick them up. In unsanitary towns the carcasses are transported around with out being frozen. The water flowing through slaughterhouses go through treatment tanks like public sewers and then they end up spilling into creeks and rivers, generating more pollution. A number of slaughter houses have been ordered to add more washers and thorouly clean up. The evidence shows that many have not followed that order because the swelling of the rivers have not gone down yet.
Slaughterhouses have no right to be doing what they are doing. They perform every operation illegally. They don%u2019t give the animals food, water, shelter, veterinary services, or humane treatment. There is a pile of violations on them and yet they still continue to break more laws. Then on top of that they cause pollution and a disturbance to their surrounding neighbors. For some reason they think that in their industry they are allowed to make their own rules and do business however they please.
We need to show them that that%u2019s not allowed by shutting them down right away.

SOLUTIONS WE REQUIRE (THESE OR BETTER):



"First, rules must be clear so that enforcement is not an inherently subjective process prone to mistakes and abuse. In particular, the downer loophole must be closed. ...The current flawed rule depends on plant workers summoning a USDA inspector back to reevaluate an animal who becomes nonambulatory after initial inspection, in order for the inspector to decide if the animal can be slaughtered, a system that seems bound to fail given the enormous pressure plant workers are under by their company superiors to move the maximum number of animals quickly to slaughter. This system creates financial incentives for precisely those abuses that we witnessed in the undercover footage....

"For the animals, removing current incentives that encourage workers to try every cruel tactic imaginable to move downers to the kill box would alleviate suffering. If crippled animals cannot be sold for food, slaughter plants have no reason to prolong their misery to try to get them through the slaughter process."
Temple Grandin, Professor, Colorado State University and author of Animals in Translation, testified, " I have worked for over 30 years to improve the treatment of animals at slaughter plants. Half the cattle and 25% of the pigs are handled in facilities I have designed. ...The recent video of dairy cows being tortured with a forklift made me sick. The abuse of cattle at this plant was 100% caused by a lack of employee supervision and a complete failure of the USDA inspectors. The Humane Slaughter Act prohibits dragging of crippled animals, and it was not enforced.....
"[M]any of the ... regulations are vague and subject to different interpretations. Inspectors need better training and clear directives to improve consistency. It is impossible for different inspectors to be consistent when vague terminology is used such as %u2018unnecessary pain and suffering.'"

Grandin explained, "The present system of USDA inspection is like having traffic police giving out speeding tickets when they think cars are speeding. Police departments are able to enforce the speed limits in a uniform manner because the officer MEASURES a car's speed with radar. The decision to pull a car over is based on a measurement, not subjective judgment of speed. For other traffic rules such as being in the wrong lane, the rules are very clearly written so that the officers will interpret them the same way."

Grandin recommended clear bans on certain practices. She further recommended "animal based outcome standards [measured with] numerical scoring. For example, the percentage of animals that fall during handling can be caused by either a slick floor or rough handling by people. Falling is an outcome of bad equipment, poorly trained people, or very weak cows that should have never been brought to the plant. Measuring the percentage of cows that fall at a plant is a sensitive indicator of three different types of problems [which can then be corrected]. The percentage of cattle falling can never be zero, so falling cannot be banned, but it should be kept at a very low level."

Grandin developed a numerical scoring system during a survey in 1996 of slaughter plants.

Grandin concluded, "I recommend that the USDA adopt numerical scoring to make enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act more uniform and to uphold higher standards. Many progressive inspectors are already informally using it. For the practices that are prohibited, a handbook of very clear guidelines is needed for enforcement. It would list prohibited practices where there is a zero tolerance."

Brussels - The European Commission on Thursday called for new rules aimed at reducing animal suffering in Europe's butcheries.
Under the proposals, slaughterhouses should appoint a trained staffer responsible for ensuring that animals are being treated humanely.
Such a person would, among other things, have to ensure that animals which are stunned do not regain consciousness before they are slaughtered.
Manufacturers of stunning equipment would have to provide detailed instructions on how to stun animals, while European governments would have to create research centres tasked with assisting official inspectors.
"As a society we have a duty of care to animals, which includes minimising distress and avoiding pain throughout the slaughtering process," said EU Health Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou.
Vassiliou's proposals, which are not likely to be approved by EU governments until next year, were welcomed by animal-rights groups.
"These proposals are a step in the right direction and will benefit millions of animals," said Sonja Van Tichelen of Eurogroup for Animals, a pressure group.
"It is unacceptable in a civilised society that animals have to suffer in their final moments. So much of their suffering can be avoided or decreased by having well-trained staff and by using appropriate stunning techniques," Van Tichelen said.
Groups representing meat traders and slaughterhouses said they still needed to study the proposals to find out whether such measures would result in higher production costs.
"A good cost-benefit analysis is necessary. Generally speaking we cannot be against measures that aim at protecting animals," said Jean-Luc Meriaux of the European Livestock and Meat Trading Union.
Officials in Brussels note that smaller slaughterhouses may be exempted from the new rules.
Nearly 360 million pigs, sheep, goats and cattle, as well as several billion poultry, are killed in EU slaughterhouses each year.
A further 25 million animals are slaughtered by the fur industry, according to commission figures.
To ensure fair competition, the commission's proposals would also apply to non-EU producers who export their products to member states. (dpa)

EU wants welfare officers in slaughterhouses

Slaughterhouses throughout the EU could be obliged to appoint special officers for animal welfare who are to ensure that pigs, sheep, goats, cattle and poultry are humanely treated at the time of their killing, according to European Commission proposals unveiled on Thursday (18 October).

If approved by all 27 member states, the European Commission's proposal will "integrate welfare considerations into the design of slaughterhouses," requiring the killing techniques to be constantly monitored.

Abattoirs will have to appoint a specific person responsible for animal welfare and ensure that their staff are properly trained and certified, although. Small slaughterhouses will be exempt from this requirement.

Every year, nearly 360 million pigs, sheep, goats and cattle as well as several billion chickens are killed in EU slaughterhouses for their meat. The EC proposal will also apply to the about 25 million animals killed for their fur.

"As a society we have a duty of care towards animals, which includes minimising distress and avoiding pain throughout the slaughtering process," EU health commissioner Androulla Vassiliou said.

"The current EU rules are outdated and need revision. This proposal will make a real difference to the way animals are treated at the time of slaughter, as well as promoting innovation and providing a level playing field for operators," she added.

Animal rights groups hailed the commission proposal.

Eurogroup for Animals spokesperson Steven Blaakman told EUobserver: "The commission made no mention of religious slaughter," pointing out that some countries such as France allow exceptions on religious grounds from having to stun an animal before it is killed. "There, a large amount of sheep meat comes from animals killed via religious slaughter," Mr Blaakman said, while Sweden permits no exceptions on religious grounds.

Enforcing the regulations in the new member states may be difficult however. Romania maintains a strong tradition of slaughtering pigs for Christmas in one's own back yard instead of at slaughterhouses.
