Editorial : 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.

.
....Petitioner

Versus
Honourable  Chief  Justice of India & Others 

....Respondents


PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.

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. Since past several years women have complained  about immoral, illegal acts by judges against women.
3. In the recent  case Honourable  CJI  Ranjan  Gogoi himself  is accused of  forceful sexual advance against a court employee. He is also accused of victimising the family of women  for not consenting to his sexual advance.
4. The victimisation of women's family  itself points  to  cover up of a crime. 
5. Honourable  CJI  also made allegations of criminal conspiracy to undermine judiciary.
6. Few advocates have appealed to  court , to  issue gag order to media from publishing this issue in the interest of  preserving respect of judiciary.
7. In the past too when allegations about sex crimes  by judges were made  transparent  impartial investigations were not done.
2. Question(s) of Law:
Are judges above law ? 
Why not same mode of  enquiry,  investigation,  prosecution of  accused judges in the  same manner  a common man accused of same crime faces ? 
Is it  right to divert attention to another crime to  cover up a primary crime ?
Will judiciary get whole hearted respect from public by threatening them with gag orders or contempt charges ? doesn't  public have the right to discuss about a crime and accountability of judges ?

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. By fear of punishment respect cannot be expected.
Before gagging  public , media SCI must  gag CJI & Others from making  uncalled for comments against woman complainant & her family.
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 family of woman complainant.
4. To institute a transparent  impartial investigations into present  sex case involving CJI and  below mentioned old sex cases involving judges.
5. To legally prosecute & punish public servants who victimised woman complainant and her family.
6. To constitute separate investigation into allegations made by CJI. 
7. Both investigations should  not  influence each other. Then alone truth will come out, Respect for Judiciary will be restored.
8. Don't treat accused judges with kid gloves , treat them on par with common accused.

FOR WHICH ACT OF KINDNESS, THE PETITIONER SHALL BE DUTY BOUND, EVER PRAY.

Editorial : Hang  Rapist  Judges  to  lamp  Posts  -  JUDGES & SEXUAL CRIMES 
- Honourable CJI Ranjan Gogoi face enquiry

When a common man is accused of a crime , he has to face the heat. Ultimately at the end of crime
- At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to the honest few public servants  in public service including judiciary & Police. However, the corrupt in public service 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 , past cases of sexual assaults on women by judges
(hushed up ?) , whole articles published in the weblinks mentioned 
below forms part of this appeal. The term “JUDGE” mentioned throught includes all public 
servants discharging judicial functions right from taluk magistrates , quasi-judicial 
officers to Chief Justice of India. 
Indian Legal / Judicial System is manipulated at various stages & is for sale. It is a
SHAME. 
The persons who raise their voice seeking justice are silenced in many ways. The  criminal nexus has already attempted to silence me in many ways . If anything untoward  happens to me or to my family members , my dependents , Honourable Chief Justice of  India together with jurisdictional police officer will be responsible for it. 
Hereby, we do once again offer our conditional services to the honourable supreme court  of India & other government authorities, in apprehending criminals including corrupt  judges & police. Herewith , we once again appeal to the honourable supreme court of  India , to consider this as a PIL Appeal in public interest. 
Consider the cases of sexual assault by JUDGES , POLICE on women . The JUDGES  have legal immunity with respect to their official duties, official actions but not their  individual actions amounting to CRIMES. 
The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts , for others  to emulate & follow. if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by  the teacher. if the teacher himself makes a mistake , all his students will do the same  mistake. if a thief steals , he can be caught , legally punished & reformed . if a police  himself commits crime , many thieves go scot- free under his patronage. even if a police ,  public servant commits a crime , he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by  the aggrieved. just think , if a judge himself that too of apex court of the land itself  commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public and  obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what  happens ? it gives a booster dose to the rich & mighty , those in power , criminals in  public service to committ more crimes. that is exactly what is happenning in india. the  educated public must raise to the occassion & peacefully , democratically must oppose 
this criminalisation of judiciary , public service. then alone , we can build a RAM
RAJYA OF MAHATMA GANDHI'S DREAM. 

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

 
Women Lawyers Question Chief Justice Gogoi's Handling of Sexual Harassment Charge  By wire 

If in the face of the complaint, a person can expect to be publicly vilified, deemed to be "wild and scandalous" even before any enquiry, and has to face the entire collective might of the judiciary, how do we ever claim to offer constitutional justice to women who experience sexual harassment?

On Saturday evening, the Women in Criminal Law Association, a recently established collaborative group for women in criminal litigation, issued a statement on Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi’s handling of a sexual harassment charge levelled against him by a former junior court assistant. The statement raises a number of questions about the convening of a special bench on Saturday morning and the manner in which it conducted its deliberations and passed an order. 
The statement is published in full below. 
§ 
A complaint of sexual harassment against the sitting Chief Justice of India was sent (along with an affidavit and other supporting evidence) to the other sitting judges of the Supreme Court of India asking for the constitution of an inquiry committee of senior retired judges to investigate and adjudicate these serious allegations. 
The legal institutional response to such a complaint as mandated under the “In-House Procedure” applicable to Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court, along with the Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal Act) Act, (“POSH Act”) read with the Supreme Court Sexual Harassment Regulations, 2013, is for the designated inquiry committee to take cognizance of the complaint, constitute an inquiry committee and give notice to the respondent as to the initiation of such proceedings. 
Today, in an unprecedented move beyond the scope of any known procedure or principle of law
– whether under the “in house procedure” or in the POSH Act or the Supreme Court Sexual Harassment Regulations – a notice was issued on the Supreme Court website that a ‘special bench’ was being constituted to hold court at 10:30 am on the mentioning by the solicitor general, even as the court has been on vacation since Wednesday and is scheduled to reopen only on Monday. 
The notice states that the purpose of the hearing is “to deal with a matter of great public importance touching upon the independence of the judiciary.” 
The notice for the hearing 
The bench comprised three judges of the Supreme Court including the respondent himself: 
1.Why was the respondent himself sitting in judgment over his own case? 
That no man shall be a judge in his own cause is one of the most sacrosanct principles of natural justice that the court routinely preaches and enforces in the hundreds of cases it adjudicates every day. The Chief Justice as master of the roster has the sole authority to constitute the Bench. Did he not think it fit to exclude himself from its composition. 
2. Why were no women justices on this Special Bench? 
Justice Indu Malhotra is the chairperson of the Internal Complaints Committee of the Supreme
Court and was not included in this special bench. None of the other women justices of the Supreme Court were included either. Given that the POSH Act is crystal clear that the committee inquiring into sexual harassment must be headed by a woman and must comprise of a majority of women, why was this principle not followed when constituting a special bench to respond to the complaint? 
3. What was the purpose of this hearing? 
If the special bench was not assembling to deal with the complaint (and hence not following the
“In House Procedure”/POSH Act/ Sexual Harassment Regulations) then what was the purpose of convening a special bench of the court? Given that the inquiry is meant to take place behind closed doors while following a prescribed procedure, could these allegations ever be adjudicated in open court? 
4. Can this matter be taken up on the judicial side? 
There is a special “in-house procedure” governing inquiry into allegations against sitting Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court. While the said in-house procedure does not envisage a mechanism to be adopted in the event a complaint is received against the Chief Justice of India themselves, it is pertinent to highlight the procedure laid out otherwise. Upon receiving a complaint against a judge of the Supreme Court, the CJI shall examine it first, and if it is of a
serious nature involving misconduct or impropriety, they shall ask for a response from the concerned judge. Upon receiving his response, if the CJI is of the opinion that the matter needs a deeper probe, he would constitute a committee consisting of three judges of the Supreme Court, which shall then conduct an inquiry into the said Complaint. As such, because the “in house procedure” prescribes no mechanism for complaints against the CJI, it is clear that a person aggrieved by the acts of the CJI, as well as the inquiry that will follow, will be guided by the procedure as laid down for other judges in the “in house procedure”, which mandates the constitution of a committee. The Supreme Court Sexual Harassment Regulations, 2013 also has a specific procedure to be followed in the event of a complaint and do not envisage any open court hearing on the judicial side as a procedure for responding to a complaint. 
The hearing 
At this hearing, as reported on Twitter by legal news websites, the respondent claimed that the complaint is a part of a plot to attack the independence of the judiciary. The complainant was stated to have criminal antecedents and the allegations were stated to be not worthy of any response. Several serious questions arise: 
1. Why was the respondent, while he was sitting in his official capacity as the Chief Justice of India as a presiding officer of a special bench responding to personal allegations against him?  2. Why did the respondent make personal statements about his bank balance and reputation during a court hearing, where he was speaking as the Chief Justice of India (and not a press conference, where he could have spoken in his personal capacity)? Furthermore, what was the relevance of these statements, apart from prejudicing the case of the complainant by appealing to irrelevant facts to create sympathy? 
3. What fair process allows the case of the complainant to be prejudiced even before the start of any inquiry by allowing the respondent himself, in his official capacity and from his position of power, to declare mala fides against the complaint to the public at large? 
4. What due process allows a public hearing in a court of law without the presence and participation of a representative of the complainant while statements about the merits of her case and her bona fides are pronounced upon? 
5. Why did none of the officers of the court (AG/SG) or the officer bearers of the Supreme Court
Bar Association who were present highlight to the special bench the in-house procedure or the Supreme Court Sexual Harassment Regulations, 2013? While the AG was quick to point at confidentiality obligations upon participants in an inquiry under the POSH Act (which has not even begun at this stage) and therefore decry the public naming of the Chief Justice as the respondent in the complaint, the actual process under the Act to deal with the complaint was not deemed to be important enough to mention. 
6. What was the role of the attorney general and solicitor general? As per reports, the matter was ‘mentioned’ by the solicitor general. ‘Mentioning’ is a procedure used for urgent listing of cases, which incidentally the current CJI has repeatedly discouraged and criticised. Clearly, there was no matter to be listed on an urgent basis and certainly no matter concerning the Government of India (since the attorney general and solicitor general are law officers of the Government of
India). Additionally, the order passed by the Court shows the case as a ‘Suo-Motu Writ Petition
(Civil) under the court’s inherent jurisdiction’. This indicates that the judges instituted this writ petition themselves, which is contrary to the reports that it was mentioned by the solicitor general. Why did the AG and SG, immediately align themselves with the respondent-CJI (as may be gleaned from the records of the proceedings that are available on social media)? This immediate unwavering support for the respondent expressed by the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association without there having been any form of inquiry sends out a clear signal: that there is no space for a woman, especially a woman lawyer, to come out with her experiences of sexual harassment without having the doyens of the legal fraternity immediately turning upon her. 
Judicial independence 
The serious question of judicial independence was raised both as the alleged purpose for conveying a hearing by a special bench as well as at the hearing itself with no less than the respondent himself stating this the complaint is only a plot to attack the credibility and independence of the judiciary. 
However, the idea behind an in-house procedure, adopted by a full court meeting (all the judges) of the Supreme Court on 15.12.1999, was to safeguard the independence of the judiciary since the complaint would be examined by the peers of the respondent judge; and also “preserve the faith of the people in the independence and impartiality of the judicial process” since it would demonstrate that there exists a machinery for the examination of complaints against a judge, and that members of the higher judiciary are also accountable for their conduct. 
Therefore, convening a special bench in order to allege an attack on the independence of the judiciary, instead of following due process and adopting the in-house procedure is not only ironic, but also raises important questions about fair procedure: 
1. Why are specific allegations against a specific individual justice of the court necessarily conflated with attacks against the institution? 
Judicial independence cannot mean that no complaints of misconduct can ever be made against a
specific individual justice of the court. In fact, the Supreme Court has itself in the past experienced and adjudicated upon instances and allegations of sexual harassment by sitting/retired judges, without ever branding it as an attack on judicial independence. In the instance of one particular retired judge, the Supreme Court fact-finding committee found that the allegations of sexual harassment, were prima facie made out. The #MeToo movement showed us how powerful men hide behind the safety of their institutions when faced with allegations of sexual harassment. But that the highest court of justice of the country would allow that is a smite on the constitutional promise of dignity, equality and due process of law. 
2. Independence from what? 
The history of the phrase ‘independence of the judiciary’ evolved as a safeguard against undue interference by the executive. It appears that in the present moment, the executive and judicial wings are completely in tandem with their mutual contempt for complainants and due process to be followed when adjudicating complaints of sexual harassment. The matter of great public importance appears less to be about judicial independence and more about the now established fact that the legal profession operates as a men’s club where any woman who speaks up will be collectively shamed and sullied without any expectation of constitutional justice. 
3. Does judicial independence mean an embargo on sexual harassment complaints against judges? 
Judicial independence does not and cannot mean ‘independence’ from any inquiry when serious allegations such as those outlined in the present complaint are made against a specific judicial officer. None of the highest ranking judicial and legal officers of this country have explained which institution/person/external influence they foresee this threat from. The manner of handling the complaint against the CJI by the Supreme Court today also raises an important question: having adjudicated upon cases of sexual harassment by Judges and other matters of judicial impropriety in the past without it becoming an issue about the judicial system as a whole, what was the need to adopt an unprecedented method of convening a Special Bench to address a personal allegation against the CJI (without committing to the adherence to due procedure in its adjudication) 
The order 
At the end of the hearing, the Special Bench passed an order observing as follows: 
“Having considered the matter, we refrain from passing any judicial order at this moment leaving it to the wisdom of the media to show restraint, act responsibly as is expected from them and accordingly decide what should or should not be published as wild and scandalous allegations undermine and irreparably damage reputation and negate the independence of the judiciary. We would therefore at this juncture leave it to the media to take off such material which is undesirable.” 
This raises further questions: 
1. Why did the coram in this judicial order not include all three presiding members?

This raises further questions: 
1. Why did the coram in this judicial order not include all three presiding members?  The order passed today shockingly did not contain the name of the CJI in the coram. The reporting on the hearing is silent as to whether the Chief Justice recused himself at the hearing. If he did, why did he make such extensive comments at the hearing? If he intended to recuse himself, why did the master of the roster convene a special bench that included himself? If he recused himself, why has the special bench passed any speaking order or conducted any hearing at all when the regular procedure is to pass an order for the matter to be listed before another bench in the face of the recusal? Why does the order nowhere reflect the fact that the Chief Justice was present on the special bench and made several statements from the bench? It is a matter of practice and propriety that the judicial record should contain an accurate record of the proceedings before the court.  2. Why are these “wild and scandalous allegations”? 
A bare reading of the complaint and the news reporting on it shows that the Complainant has given a detailed account of each incident that took place, and has produced evidence in support of her claims. While Judges of the Supreme Court may consider allegations of sexual harassment against them ‘wild’ or scandalous’, as young women from the profession, these allegations seem all too relatable. There have been several instances of former interns of Supreme Court judges (and lawyers) raising allegations of predatory behaviour by them, and a reading of those accounts along with personal experiences shows that the signs of predatory behaviour are disturbingly similar. 
3. Can the judiciary communicate to the media via a judicial hearing? 
The respondent himself was a part of the four judges who held a historic press conference that addressed the public on issues of grave importance in relation to judicial independence. The allegations are not against the office of the Chief Justice. They are against the individual as a judicial officer. It was completely wrong for the individual to respond to these allegations and effectively communicate to the media from the Bench. 
4. Chilling Effect: Under what power/authority are judges in a ‘non-judicial order’ directing for restraint in media reporting? 
It is also relevant to be noted that such a ‘communication’ from the Apex court in the country has a chilling effect on the media and this will in all practicality act as a restraint on the media from reporting news related to the issue. 
This leaves us with a final question:  What justice for aggrieved persons? 
If in the face of the complaint, a person can expect to be publicly vilified, deemed to be “wild and scandalous” even before any enquiry, and has to face the entire collective might of the judiciary as an institution, the officers of the Government of India and the Bar Council of India, how do we ever claim to offer constitutional justice to women who experience sexual harassment? 

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

Shocked, shattered by allegations: former Supreme Court judge Ganguly 
New Delhi: A three-member panel that probed the charge of sexual harassment of a young lawyer by a Supreme Court judge has submitted its report, identifying the judge as A K Ganguly, court sources said on Friday. 
The report was submitted on Thursday after the committee of three judges met six times. This is the first time an alleged perpetrator has been named. 
The report, submitted to Chief Justice P Sathasivam, also carries the statements of the victim, who interned in the Supreme Court, and that of the now-retired Justice Ganguly, the sources said.  The graduate of Kolkata-based National University of Judicial Sciences (NUJS) had alleged sexual harassment by Ganguly while interning for him in December 2012. 
The committee, which held six sittings on November 13, 19, 21, 26, and 27, submitted its report to Chief Justice Sathasivam on November 28. 
The victim appeared before the committee on November 19 and was expected to appear again on November 21 but chose to stay away. 
She first mentioned the incident in a blog for Journal of Indian Law and Society on November 6 and later told the same in an interview with Legally India website. 
The victim, who is working with Natural Justice: Lawyers for Communities and Environment, said she heard that there were three other girls besides her who were sexually harassed by the same judge. 
She also claimed to have knowledge of four more girls who were allegedly harassed by other judges in their chambers. 
Denying any sexual harassment, Ganguly on Friday said he was “shocked and shattered” by the charges against him. 
“I am denying everything. I have told the committee that all the allegations levelled by the intern are wrong. I don’t know how such allegations have been levelled against me,” he said. 
“I am a victim of situations,” he told television channels. 
“I am not ashamed of anything,” he said in reply to a question regarding the alleged episode which came out in public after the victim spoke about it in the legal portal earlier this month.  He said the charges against him were totally wrong. The girl had not raised any sexual harassment issue with him, he said, adding that he had not done any physical harm to her.  The former judge said the intern worked with him though she was not officially allocated to him.
She came in the place of another intern who had gone abroad after marriage. “I never put up a poster. She came on her own.” 
He said the girl had come to his house on a number of occasions in connection with work. 



sexual harassment: Intern moves SC for inquiry against Justice Swatanter Kumar 


New Delhi: A former law intern, who has made sexual harassment allegations against Justice Swatanter Kumar, today moved the Supreme Court seeking inquiry against the retired judge.  A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, before whom the matter was mentioned for urgent hearing, agreed to take up the case on January 15. 
The intern, in the petition, challenged the apex court's December 5, 2013 full court resolution in which it was decided that no complaint against its retired judges will be entertained. 

The petitioner also submitted that a proper forum be constituted to conduct inquiry in such cases and her complaint be also looked into by the apex court like it was done in the case of sexual harassment allegations against Justice (retd) A K Ganguly. 
The intern has made Justice Kumar, Secretary General of the Supreme Court and Union of India parties in the case. 
She submitted that Justice Kumar was a sitting judge at the time of the alleged incident and the apex court must look into the complaint as per Vishaka guidelines. 
Justice Kumar, who is currently heading the National Green Tribunal, has described the allegations as "incredulous and false" and "some kind of conspiracy". 


 

IB confirms Mysore Roost  Resort sex scandal 

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

Nothing but the truth  By Indira Jaising 

A midst the rising din of the demand for death penalty for rapists comes the news that three judges of the Karnataka High Court have been involved in what has come to be described as a 'sex scandal' on the outskirts of Mysore at a place called Roost Resorts. 
Our attention is now directed to those who dispense justice rather than those who knock at the doors of justice. In both cases, we are talking about the use and abuse of women — those who are victims of sexual abuse, and those who are used as sexual objects, willingly or unwillingly.  After the reports in local newspapers that three high court judges were found with women at a resort, there was the usual crop of denials. Although the Mysore police were called in to settle a brawl, on being told that the persons in question were judges they said that they heard no evil and saw no evil. 
And everyone thought the matter ended there. 
Attempts to get the names of the judges or of the women in question drew a blank. The bar association also drew a blank as most people said, "Don't quote me… but…" 
On November 30, the Bangalore edition of The Times of India published a front-page story giving the names and photographs of the three judges and confirming that the Intelligence Bureau had done an investigation and come to the conclusion that the incident had indeed occurred. There were still no details of the incident, though it was stated that the report has been given to the chief justice of India. 
There were reports on the same day that the Karnataka High Court chief justice had sought the transfer of the three judges to Patna, Jammu and Kashmir and Guwahati. Apparently, the chief justice has agreed to this request and the transfer orders have been issued. 
Then came the news that the chief justice of India has set up a committee of inquiry under the 'in-house' procedure consisting of the chief justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, the chief justice of the Madras High Court and the chief justice of the Patna High Court. 
There were still no details in the press about the actual incident and the entire episode continued to be referred to as a 'sex scandal'. 
What is interesting about these reports is not what they reveal, but what they conceal. It is a conspiracy of silence. If the information is now available to the chief justice of India, why is it not being made public? Do we, the public, not have the right to information? Ironically, the morning newspapers brought the news that the Freedom of Information Act has been passed. What are the legitimate limits of the right to freedom of information and the requirement of keeping information a secret? This episode would make an interesting case study. 
What exactly is at stake here? There is much that should concern the nation about the incident.
This is not a case about the private morality of the judges, be that as it may, but about the abuse of office that they hold. What has not been made known is that the three women in question are women lawyers practising in their courts. 
What is at stake here is the pollution of the stream of justice at its very source. There must be countless cases in which these women appeared before these very judges day in and day out of their routine practice. Can one honestly say that in such a situation justice is being done "without fear or favour"? Judges swear on oath of allegiance to "bear true faith" to the Constitution and do justice "without fear or favour". How well have these judges honoured this oath? 
What is at stake here is the cynical use of women as sexual commodities. The usual justifications have already begun making the rounds. If the women have not complained, what objection can anyone else have, it is asked. What is lost sight of is the fact that the judges are in a position of dominance vis-à-vis the women, in a position to do favours that pertain to their office.  What is at stake here is the cynical use of public office, the seat of justice, for personal petty gain. It is irrelevant whether the women consented or not. The usual blame game will now begin — blaming the victim rather than the perpetrator; the usual loose talk about the character of the woman in question; the usual attempt to cover up by diverting attention from the actual incident to the motives of those who brought the incident to light. 
What is at stake here is the perception of women as sexual commodities by those who are responsible for sitting in judgment over cases brought for and on behalf of women. 
The issues at stake here concern one half of Indians. With what faith can Indian women approach the courts demanding the right to equality, the right to be free from sexual harassment or rape and the right to live with dignity, if the persecution of judges who sit in judgment over them is non-negotiable? 
In the circumstances, the suggested solution is worse than the offence — to transfer them to Patna, Guwahati and Jammu and Kashmir. Why these particular cities? Are they not an integral part of the country, or are they mere islands within the country that are considered 'punishment postings' where people are sent a la 'crossing Kala Pani' of the old days? To the credit of the Guwahati Bar Association, it protested against the proposed transfer. 
The only decent thing to do is for the chief justice of India to disclose full details of the incident so that rumour-mongering comes to an end. This would be in the best interest of the judiciary itself. 
As things stand, the rumours are making the rounds that there were more than three judges involved, that the women were professional call girls, many of which are baseless. We, the people, have the right to know. The conspiracy of silence must be broken. 
The judges in question must neither be assigned any judicial functions pending an inquiry nor be transferred to sit in judgment over others. Two of the judges are stated to be additional judges. They must not be confirmed. If there is prima facie evidence against the one remaining judge, the chief justice must recommend his impeachment. 
It is time for all concerned bar associations, bar councils and other male-dominated bodies of legal professionals to act and ensure that there is no cover-up. There is little point in showing sympathy to women in judgments and in seminar rooms, or in recommending the death penalty for rape if we cannot deal with the men who dispense justice. 
There are contempt of court petitions pending in the Karnataka High Court against some of the publications for disclosing details of the incident. Civil society and women's organisations must demand that justice is now done when it comes to the judges themselves. 
The law of contempt can offer no solution to the crisis of credibility in the judiciary that this incident has thrown up. One positive aspect of the incident is that it is only after the chief justice of the high court issued a public notice inviting information that he received 20 representations, which led to the discovery of the truth. 
Let the truth now be made public. 

 

Judge accused of molesting 2 rape survivors in UP 

A sitting judicial magistrate sexually assaulted them 

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



JUDGE SENDING OBSCENE SMS TO WOMEN 

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

 
Lokayukta: DC demanded sex from widow 


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


3-year jail term for ‘dirty’ judge 

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


Rajasthan judge is indicted for seeking sexual favours 

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


Ten reasons why criminals in khaki get away 
Siddharth Varadarajan 


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

Porbandar judge accused of dowry harassment 

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


Gurgaon judge to also face dowry harassment charge 

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

Alleging Sexual Harassment By High Court Judge, a Junior Judge Quits 

NEW DELHI:  A woman additional judge in Gwalior has resigned alleging sexual harassment by a judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The judge asked her to "dance to an item song" and influenced her transfer to a remote location, she has alleged in a complaint to the President, the Chief Justice of India and the Union Law Minister. 

Chief Justice of India RM Lodha told NDTV on Monday morning, "I haven't received the complaint officially... once I get it I will go through the complaint. Normally we ask for a report on the complaint from the Chief Justice of the High Court. In this case, I will seek a report from the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court and take action accordingly. I will do my best for the institution." 

The additional judge resigned on July 15 and wrote to the CJI and others on August 1, Friday evening. "If this is how a mother, sister and wife can be treated, who is herself no less than a judicial officer duty-bound to protect society and law, what constitutional goals are we serving?" said the woman, who ironically headed a Vishaka committee against sexual harassment. 

She has alleged that the High Court judge constantly pestered her and once sent her a message through an official to "perform dance on an item song" at a function at his home. She said she excused herself saying it was her daughter's birthday. 

She also alleged that when she spurned the judge's "various advances and malicious aspirations", he targeted her professionally. "The administrative judge, along with district judge and district judge (inspection), possibly made a false, frivolous, baseless and malicious reporting to the chief justice of MP and got me transferred on July 8, in the mid-academic session of my daughters to a remote place Sidhi by overruling the transfer policy of MP HC," she has complained. 

She said her appeal for an eight-month extension to allow her daughter's academic year to finish was rejected and has alleged that the judge threatened to "spoil my career completely," when she pleaded against the transfer. 

"I was left with no option but to resign, so, I resigned on July 15 in compelling, humiliating and disgraceful circumstances to save my dignity, womanhood, self-esteem and career of my daughter," she has written.

   Honourable CJI , Chairman NHRC & other public servants have failed to answer  notice / questions in 30 days. Thereby , they have confessed to crimes on their own. Repeated silence to  interrogation questions  / charges  amounts to admission of crimes by the accused.

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 29 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 29  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 ;

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.

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 29 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 29 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 :

Murders of Journalists

DALIT   ONLINE   –  e  News Weekly
Spreading the light of humanity & freedom
Editor: Nagaraja.M.R.. Vol.15..Issue.19......12/ 05 / 2019

For Democracy to Survive, Attacks on Journalists Must End
By  Wire
Defending journalistic freedom as well as couriers of information is one of the hallmarks of any civilised and honest society.


These are dangerous times to be a journalist in the line of duty in India. Like their global counterparts, Indian journalists are confronting a host of occupational hazards, grappling with daunting legal and extra-legal challenges and even risking their lives to bring information in the public domain. A culture of bullying, abusing, threatening and killing journalists is now a reality in India as in many other countries.
As the space to work freely and without fear shrinks, there is a need to reflect on this troubling situation. It is imperative for us to consider the multiple factors that have created conditions that make it dangerous to do a job that is critical in a democracy. There is an urgent need to call out the forces responsible for building up the prevailing atmosphere.
Growing intolerance of dissenting journalists has manifested itself in various forms across the nation – from censorship fiats to acts of outright physical intimidation. The escalating attacks on whistleblower journalists across India have taken a toll not just on individuals but also on journalism as a profession. The killing of several journalists over the last few years in India is a reminder that those who object to free speech – especially when it involves liberal ideas – will stop at nothing to quell those voices.
The ongoing political conflicts in different parts of the country – from Kashmir and insurgency-affected states in the Northeast to Maoist-impacted Chhattisgarh – have exposed journalists working in these contexts to grave danger. On Tuesday, October 30, Achyutanand Sahu, a cameraman employed by Doordarshan was killed in a Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada region. And the list of attacked or slain journalists only grows longer as a culture of violence is normalised.
In September 2017, the country witnessed the cold-blooded murder of Gauri Lankesh, editor of Lankesh Patrike in the city of Bengaluru. Investigations into her murder have, since then, unravelled an intricate network of armed groups which subscribe to the ideology of Hindutva. Within less than a year of Lankesh’s assassination, Shujaat Bukhari, editor-in-chief of Rising Kashmir, a Srinagar-based newspaper, was gunned down by unknown assailants in the heart of the city. Bukhari, many believed, lost his life for his unwillingness to fall in with an expedient “us or them” political line.
Independence and fearless thought, usually considered to be invaluable journalistic attributes, are now becoming a serious – even dangerous – hindrance for media professionals. If journalists in prime locations and metropolitan cities are under attack, those away from media and public glare, spread out in small towns and villages, are preyed upon with far greater ease.
Last December, Naveen Gupta, a journalist with a Hindi daily was shot five times by unknown assailants in the city of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. The same year, on November 7, Sudip Datta Bhaumik, a journalist with a daily, Syandan Patrika, and local television channel, News Vanguard, was shot dead allegedly by Tripura State Rifles personnel. Two months prior to that incident, journalist Santanu Bhowmik was murdered in Tripura while on duty, covering an agitation by the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura.
Things were not much better the previous year. In 2016, a mob surrounded the house of journalist Malini Subramaniam in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region. Accusing the journalist, who reports on human rights issues, of supporting Maoists, the mob attacked her home with stones, shattering the rear windows of her car. The acts of violence were accompanied by the mob chanting “Death to Malini Subramaniam.”
A report of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) revealed that 48 journalists were killed in India between 1992 and 2018. That stark statistic testifies to the ubiquity of violence, bringing home the gravity of the situation, indicating the levels of risk journalists increasingly take to just do their jobs.
Even if the agents of such acts of violence are often non-state actors, indifference and silence on the part of governing classes when confronted with such crimes, tends to be perceived as an endorsement of the violence.
That worries about the state of Indian media are legitimate is evident from the country’s low ranking in the 2017 World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Sans Borders. India is ranked 136th among 180 countries, just a little ahead of its neighbours Pakistan (139), Sri Lanka (141) and Bangladesh (146). The situation in India’s neighbouring countries too hardly gives any cause for optimism. According to CPJ, 60 journalists were assassinated in Pakistan and 21 in Bangladesh between 1992 and 2018.
It is against this murky background that we respond to UNESCO’s call to mark November 2 as the International Day to End the Culture of Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. The call was issued by the UNESCO at its 68th session in 2013 in remembrance of two French journalists killed in Mali that year. That between 2006 and 2017 nearly 1,010 journalists were killed and that in nine out of ten cases the killers have gotten away, is a sombre reminder of the dangers journalists have to confront in their day-to-day work.
Article 19 of the Indian constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression, which defines the essence of journalism. Defending journalistic freedom, as well as couriers of information, is one of the hallmarks of any civilised and honest society. Journalists must be allowed to function in a safe environment without fear of retribution or danger to their lives. The killings and harassment must stop now for democracy to survive.


Journalism in India: A Dangerous Pursuit?
India ranks 14th among states where journalists are murdered and their killers go free, reports Committee to Protect Journalists.
By Bansari Kamdar

Murder is the highest form of censorship. As the world reels from the brutality and impunity of the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a press freedom watchdog, released its annual 2018 Global Impunity Index ranking “states with the worst records of prosecuting the killers of journalists.”
In the Global Impunity Index, the CPJ defines murder as “a deliberate attack against a specific journalist in relation to the victim’s work.” It excludes cases where the journalists were killed in combat or on dangerous assignments. In 2018, the CPJ highlighted 14 states where impunity is entrenched and the lack of justice creates a “climate of censorship.”
“In the past decade, at least 324 journalists have been silenced through murder worldwide and in 85 percent of these cases no perpetrators have been convicted. It is an emboldening message to those who seek to censor and control the media through violence,” writes the CPJ.
The Global Impunity Index: India and Other Contenders
India ranked 14th on the list with 18 murders of journalists with impunity from 2008 to 2018. India has been listed on the Index 11 times. Other nations on the Index include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Iraq, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria. According to the CPJ, 82 percent of the 324 journalist murder cases happened in the 14 countries listed in the index.
Somalia topped the Index for the fourth year in a row with 25 unsolved journalist murder cases. Afghanistan and Columbia reappeared on the index this year after falling off in recent years as violence waned. However, the recent suicide attack in Kabul killing nine journalists in April and the kidnapping and murder of an Ecuadorian news crew by alleged Colombian drug traffickers have brought both back on the index, at sixth and eighth respectively.
The Impunity Index is published annually by the CPJ to mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists on November 2. It analyzes journalist murders in every country over a 10-year period, as a percentage of the country’s population.
The CPJ also lists which states participated in UNESCO’s impunity accountability mechanism as a way to measure the political will of a state to address impunity. The UNESCO mechanism requests information on the status of investigations into the killed journalists. India has refused to participate in the impunity accountability mechanism.
The Rising Cost of Free Press in India
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) listed India at 138th on its World Press Freedom Index in 2018, adding that it fears that journalists are “increasingly the targets of online smear campaigns by the most radical nationalists, who vilify them and even threaten physical reprisals.”
Since 1992, 48 journalists in India have been killed and 34 were targeted for murder. Of the 34 murders, 32 were murdered with “complete impunity,” according to the CPJ database. In 23 years, only one journalist’s murder, that of Midday’s Jyotirmoy Dey, has been prosecuted and the murderers sentenced, according to NDTV reports.
In 2017, India ranked 12th on the Global Impunity Index with 13 journalists killed with “complete impunity” from 2007 to 2017. Most of the journalists were targeted for their reporting local corruption, crime, and politics outside main urban areas.
Among the murders was the shooting of Gauri Lankesh, veteran journalist and editor, who was shot and killed in Bangalore on September 5, 2017, by three unidentified assailants, reported the Hindustan Times. Her murder led to a national outcry over the safety of journalists. Lankesh was renowned for her criticism of right-wing extremism and communal violence in Gauri Lankesh Patrike, her Kannada-language weekly tabloid.
The CPJ observes that conditions have “worsened” in India in 2018. In 2018, three journalists were murdered for their work: Navin Nischal of Dainik Bhaskar, Sandeep Sharma of News World, and Shujaat Bukhari of Rising Kashmir.
In Arrah on March 25, Navin Nischal and another reporter, Vijay Singh, were run over by an SUV, reportedly driven by the village’s head, Mohammad Harshu. Nischal’s crime: reporting on child marriage.
Both journalists died on the scene.
On March 26, the very next day, Sandeep Sharma was killed when a truck ran his motorcycle over. The News World’s bureau chief, Vikas Purohit, said that Sharma had received threats earlier for publishing stories on illegal sand mining and police corruption and had been beaten up earlier. Shujaat Bukhari, a senior journalist and editor, was shot and killed on June 14, along with two police officers assigned to him for protection, for his reporting on the situation in Kashmir.
These ruthless murders are symptomatic of a larger problem of silencing journalists. In addition to outright murders, journalists are increasingly being attacked. According to The Hoot’s “India Freedom Report: Media Freedom and Freedom of Expression in 2017” report, 11 journalists were murdered, 46 were attacked and 27 cases of police action were filed in 2017.
When not hit with violence or murder, journalists are being slapped with hefty civil defamation suits, like the recent US$1.35 billion claim by the Reliance Group against Indian news channel NDTV for its reporting on the lack of transparency in the Rafale jet deal between Reliance and their French counterpart. This tactic is often employed to intimidate reporters and harass them through legal fees.
Media is being heavily censored by the government and their access to official events restricted. Furthermore, there is a significant rise in internet shutdowns across the country, increasing to 77 in 2017 against 31 in 2016.
In India, when the story can’t be killed, the storyteller is silenced.
Jamal Khashoggi, in his final, posthumous column argued that what the Arab world most needs is free expression. His words ring true also for India and every other nation where reporters are being silenced, often times violently, for their courage and audacity to speak the truth.

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 29 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 29  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 ;

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.

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 29 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 29 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

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 ?

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  30 days :
