 RBIND/R/E/20/04870



HEREBY , I DO HUMBLY REQUEST YOU TO GIVE ME WRITTEN STATEMENTS / 

ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS - WHICH IN ITSELF ( ie answers ) 

ARE THE INFORMATION SOUGHT BY ME. 

WITH RESPECT TO CASE NO  old CC34 / 1989 & NEW NO SC436/1991   AT 21 

ST ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL & SESSIONS COURT BANGALORE

CHARGE SHEETED OFFICER MR.G.HARIRAM RBI BANGALORE

CHARGE SHEET NO staff no.3698/156/84-85 dt 01.01.1985

Amended charge sheet  staff no.3798/156-84/85 dt 08.04.1985



1. Why didn't you notice the alleged crimes of 1977 , 78 & 79 till the 

mid of  1979 ?

2. This crime came to light only due to anonymous phone calls of good 

Samaritans to authorities , but not due to your inspection . is your 

inspection division working properly ?

3. why there is no security check up of officers during entry & exit 

out of premises ?

4. why there is no individual weighment , individual statement of 

value of bags of reissuable notes & bags of note meant for destruction 

, after sorting is done, why they are not tallied with total weight , 

value of notes issued for sorting ?

5. Immediately after noticing the crime, why did not you transfer all 

the employees of those sections ?

6. why did not you take steps to preserve3 & protect respective 

documents relating to such high profile crime ?

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

waited till 1983 ?

8. Why RBI has left out , so many officers ( who worked in the same 

sections for more period than accused officers ) from domestic 

enquiry ?

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

the court ?

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

interests ?

11. did the CBI dance to the tune of vested interests in RBI while 

preparing charge sheet & during investigation , instead  of 

independent investigation ?

12. those left out probables from the charge sheet might have caused 

the destruction of evidences / records. During the course of domestic 

enquiry / court proceedings , it has been recorded that some records 

have been destroyed. Are not CBI & RBI responsible for destruction of 

evidences , aiding true criminals get away ?

13. in normal times , what is the period specified in RBI regulations 

for preserving old documents / records ?

14. after noticing such a high profile crime the RBI must have taken 

utmost care to preserve such old records for indefinite time , for 

producing before courts of law as & when demanded. But it  didn't , 

why ?

15. does not this point to connivance of higher authorities of RBI , 

with the criminals ?

16. RBI authorities have conducted domestic mass enquiries , instead 

of individual enquiries , is it not detrimental to the rights of 

defense ?

17. RBI authorities have stated  that court proceedings & domestic 

enquiry are independent of each other & are not binding on one 

another. However  RBI authorities straight away took on record of 

domestic enquiry the court statements , evidences , but didn't honour 

the order of same court of law ? why this double standard by RBI ?

18. The alleged crime  was committed in 1977-79, but charge sheet was 

framed in mid 1985 , why this long delay ?

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

manipulate evidences ?

20. as stated before court , indeed some records , 22nd currency note 

packet were missing , who is responsible for it ?

21. has the CBI conducted enquiry , polygraph test of RBI higher 

officers - S.N.RAZDAN , W.S.SARAF , J.P.AWASTHI , J.MITRA & others , 

if not why ?

22. is it not due to inefficiency , negligence of duty by such high 

ranking managers , that such a crime occurred in RBI Bangalore ?

23. what disciplinary action RBI has taken against the inefficient , 

negligent higher officials ?

24. whatever internal rules an organization makes must be within the 

line of law. If such internal laws of the organization are violative 

of law , fundamental rights of employees , such internal rules become 

illegal. Are not the way of RBI disciplinary proceedings illegal ?

25. as per RBI pension regulations 1990 , RBI has the right to deduct 

any loss caused to the bank , from the pension of RBI employee if the 

misconduct of employee is proved in judicial proceedings . even though 

mr.G.Hariram came out clean from the court , why  RBI has denied his 

pension ?

26. judicial courts of law are appellate authorities over & above , 

domestic enquiry committees & judicial orders supersedes the domestic 

enquiry proceedings. Still RBI showed contempt of court & didn't 

reinstate mr..G.Hariram into service , why ?

27. even if an employee's misconduct causing loss to the bank is 

proved , before denying him pension (towards making up loss to the 

bank) , previous sanction of the central board of RBI must be taken. 

But in mr.G.Hariram's case , pension was denied in full without taking 

previous sanction of the central board of RBI , is it not illegal ?

28. RBI alleged that mr..G.Hariram caused loss to the tune of Rs.14000 

to the bank & recovered it from his provident fund dues. There was 

nothing left over to recover , still RBI  completely denied pension to 

mr.G.Hariram , why ?

29. ideally, domestic enquiry findings / disciplinary actions should 

be completed first , then the employee can appeal to appropriate court 

of law. In mr.G.Hariram's case , CBI & RBI failed to prove the charges 

in court of law , as a result court discharged him from the charges. 

To cover-up it's failures RBI management dragged domestic enquiry much 

beyond court orders date & gave findings indicting mr..G.Hariram. does 

the enquiry officer of domestic enquiry think that he is over & above 

the court of law ? is it not illegal & contempt of court ?

30. ideally , RBI authorities should have appealed to higher court 

against lower court order discharging mr.G.Hariram from charges. But 

it was not done , why ?

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

period ?

32. the undue delay in filing charge sheet , consequent destruction of 

key evidences , dishonour / contempt of court orders , undue haste in 

giving findings , dismissal , denial of of pension without central 

board's sanction , all point towards criminals within RBI higher 

management. What disciplinary action has been taken against 

J.P.AWASTHI, S.N.RAZDAN,J.MITRA, W.SARAF & others ? if not why ?

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

34. did the charge sheet was amended to falsely implicate 

mr..G.Hariram , by including cancelled note vault in the charge 

sheet ?

35. does not this itself show that it is not statement of actual 

happenings / facts , but a cunning ploy to mislead investigation 

towards fixed innocents from actual criminals ?

36. is it true that that only 5% of sample inspection is done out of 

bundled verified defective note packets ?

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

officers illegal ?

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

missing ?

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

40. as per the statement of management witness / inspection head / 

expert mr.vijendra rao , the notes of earlier dates have been removed 

from packets made into new bundles , right ?

41. as per his statement , entire certificates , seals of some asst 

treasurers are there , who didn't work at all on that day is not it ?

42. does not it show that some body else was misusing the seals , 

putting some innocents seals over the notes ?

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

section ?

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

45. why asst treasurers have not been charge sheeted ?

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

1979 ?

47. is it not true that you failed to produce all records showing 

internal inspection / audits , during domestic enquiry & court 

proceedings ?

48. your expert mr.vijendra rao has stated that some seal marks are 

smudged , he has stated some seal marks appears to be so & so. He has 

clearly nowhere stated that this seal mark is exactly this , so he 

himself is not 100% sure ?

49. your expert nowhere said that 100% sure this seal mark is this , 

on that day this seal was issued to mr.G.Hariram , isn't it ?

50. your expert says during 1975 , he didn't notice3 any fraud. 

However approver says fraud was there before mid 1977 also. Why no 

action has been taken ?

51. why you didn't produce all records of all persons , who have 

specifically worked in alleged sections , the registers of those 

departments with daily activity report containing seal nos , packet 

nos , bag nos , etc ?

52. are not their chances of some criminals putting the seal marks of 

innocent officers over the notes , bundles , bags , etc ?

53. your expert is not 100% sure of seal mark , your records are not 

there to prove the presence of charge sheeted officers in the alleged 

sections , neither your expert nor your records are 100% sure on what 

date , at what stage , by whom crime was committed , isn't it ?

54. is not the charge sheet amounting to higher ups picking up 

officers they dislike & falsely implicating them ?

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

original criminals ?

56. why no action was taken against currency officer of 1977-79 

mr.J.Mitra ? why his pension , super annuation benefits were not 

withheld ?

57. what is your justification , supporting evidence , records for 

picking up only three officers including mr.G.Hariram for legal 

prosecution and leaving the majority of probables ?

58. why you have dropped charges against five asst treasurers ? why 

you didn't even conduct domestic enquiry against them , let alone 

legal prosecution ?

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

60. as inly 5% sampling of verified note bundles are done , there are 

more possibilities of rebundled packets getting unnoticed in relaxed 

95% lot , isn't it ?

61. you have left out so many officers who worked in those sections, 

some of whom even became management witnesses , instead of being 

charge sheeted by the management, is it fair play & legal ?

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

alleged bank loss of Rs.220000 ?

63. were all of them charge sheeted , enquired , legally prosecuted , 

dismissed & their pension , gratuity withheld ?

64. you don't have any internal statuotary records to prove that 

mr.G.Hariram worked in those departments , except a currency officer's 

office note dated just on the eve of charge sheet years after the 

alleged crime ? does it not prove that this note has been concocted 

just to fix mr.G.Hariram ?

65. where as you have records of other officials attendance in those 

departments , but not charge sheeted them why ?

66. three officers of staff grade A daily work in three sections out 

of 40 officers , why you have picked up only mr.G.Hariram , out of 

1095 working days , he has worked for only 223 days in those 

sections , still those officers who worked for more days in those 

sections are not charge sheeted why ? the approver , the management 

expert witness , shift registers , V2 registers , Destruction 

certificates , Form CD 55 , etc , nobody , no records were able to say 

on what date , at what stage , by whom crime took place , also they 

were unable to say on what date at what stage crime was committed by 

mr.G.Hariram ? is it not futile imagination , cunning ploy of RBI 

higher authorities to fix innocent Mr.G.Hariram ?

67. the management expert witnesses said , the most probable place of 

crime is punching / Cancelled Note Vault , incinerator , where asst 

treasurers were joint custodians . they were not enquired & let off 

why ?

68.        the charge sheet alleges extraction / substitution of 

defaced note packets. Where as the management expert witness say 

substitution of defaced notes only ? is not there difference between 

loss of one number of note & 100 number of notes ?

69.         as per the normal course of duty , staff officers does not 

count notes in each bundles , but they just count the number of 

bundles only. Is not there chances of inserted note bundles or bundles 

containing less number of notes going unnoticed ? is it not the 

failure of statuotary system of work practices ?

70.         does not all these prove higher authorities of RBI & CBI 

were hell bent to fix mr.G.Hariram & to shield the original 

criminals ?

Why should not you be together with RBI governor legally prosecuted for the same.
