Dear Sarabjit,
In the din of sqabbles between us, are we aware of the great threats looming over us? Unless corrected,the present political class,who already divided this great country, will lead us to disaster.

Dear Sir,
On one hand you say there is no scientific data to support the of performance and delinquency of the classes and on the other hand you name certain politicians. Terming backward castes as most corrupt without any data is nothing but discrimination on the grounds only of caste, which is prohibited by the Constitution. In fact the words OBC ought not to have been used as the creamy layer is excuded and the politicians named cannot be said as belonging to OBC as such. The class of currupt is all together a different class which has no connection with caste. This prejudice against caste is dangerous and was least expected from a retired judge who has served on various posts.
"The tragedy is that these profound modifications in society through out the Country were not accompanied by a system of Surveys for maintaining Data of performance and delinquency of these privileged Castes and classes. So, even if reality stares in the face of the Nation, there is no scientific data to support a view whether or not these privileged Castes and Classes had been performing well or otherwise. To the names specified in your mail, a number of others can be added; some of them have come to the notice of Supreme Court like Mayavati and Mulayam Singh Yadav."
I hope the younger generation gets the light.Adv. Amit A. Karande.

That is the irony: Truth leads to persecution; many great men suffered because they were truthful, Mahatma Gandhi the most glaring example. There is a tragedy. During the times of freedom movement, considerations of caste were thrown aside so much so that a sizeable section of Students dropped their 'surname' while filling the High School Examination Form. In Courts too, Caste was dropped from the names of witnesses or parties. But in course of time, Caste considerations raised their head again, and the surnames reappeared. Mandal Commission identified more than 3000 backward castes; the tribe continues to grow and there is no let up in demands for more Castes. Standards of Merit were compromised and Examination-pass marks or competition eligibility marks were studiously diluted. The tragedy is that these profound modifications in society through out the Country were not accompanied by a system of Surveys for maintaining Data of performance and delinquency of these privileged Castes and classes. So, even if reality stares in the face of the Nation, there is no scientific data to support a view whether or not these privileged Castes and Classes had been performing well or otherwise. To the names specified in your mail, a number of others can be added; some of them have come to the notice of Supreme Court like Mayavati and Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Apparently, there is a disconnect between the Fundamental Right of Free Speech in Article 19 and the onerous provisions of the Act meant to provide special protection to Scheduled Caste persons by punishing others. Perhaps a popular demand can be made to institute a suitable Commission to probe into the realities of effects of special privileges granted to SC/ST/OBC so that just and proper law may be framed to ensure dignity not only to SC/ST/OBC but also to common man- human dignity is a basic feature of the Constitution of India which Preamble clearly emphasises.
May God show light to all concerned.

Hello friends
Ashis Nandy has come to his own conclusion after the scale of corruption by Mayavathy, Lalu, Karunanidhi, and others who succeeded to the positions of power in the name of community or castes. Can anybody claim that they have been following clean rule or they have tried to improve the lot of their community/castes?. They utilised the oppurtunities to explore new and modern styles of corrupt practices for their own personnel or family interests. A comparison to the extent of corruption between communitiy and castes combination may not be authentic so much so it may be an exageration to put one is more corrupt than the other. Anyway the fact remains that our rulers are all following the path of corruption irrespective of their community or caste.
Dr.M.C.GEORGE,ADVOCATE.

Jaipur/New Delhi: Noted author Ashis Nandy on Saturday kicked up a storm with his comments that people from OBC, SC and ST communities were the "most corrupt", remarks that came under all round attack.
Hours after Nandy made the remarks at the ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival, an FIR was lodged with the police against him in Jaipur under Section 506 IPC (criminal intimidation) and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The FIR was filed by Rajpal Meena, Chairperson of the SC/ST Rajasthan Manch and the matter will be investigated, police said.
"It is a fact that most of the corrupt come from OBCs and Scheduled Castes and now increasingly the Scheduled Tribes," he said participating in a session at the Festival.

Dear Pradeep,
This indeed is shocking experience and needs to be taken up further to its logical conclusion, I understand it is extremely embarassing, annoying, humiliating and taxing for an applicant who is travelling such a long distance.

From:Babi Suresh GaonkarH.No. 6/1, Vadacha wada, Sirgaon, Bicholim, GoaDate: 29/01/2013To,Bharat Mukti MorchaGoa UnitSubject: My Police torture, Human Rights violations by Constable Venkat Marshal, PSI Tukaram Walke, Police Inspector Ninad Deulkar and other police officials attached to Bicholim Police Station on duty on 25th and 26th January 2013.I the undersigned Babi Suresh Gaonkar, 18 years of age, student, OBC, resident of H.No. 6/1, Vadacha wada, Sirgao, Bischolim, wish to state following:-1. At 10.07 am on 25th January 2013 I was served with notice under section 149 CrPC asking me to remain present at the Bicholim Police station on 26th January 2013. The notice signed by police Inspector, Bicholim Police Station was dated 24th January 2013.2. On the same day of 25th January 2013 I returned from my college at 5.00 pm and had just entered my house. I saw One Constable Venkat Marshal along with PSI Tukaram Walke was sitting in a Police jeep near my house.3. Constable Venkat Marshal got off from the jeep and came to my house and asked me if I have a knife with me. I replied saying 'no'. This Constable then picked up instrument called 'koita' that we use to peel off coconut and caught my shoulder and pulled me out of my house towards the jeep that was marked with words 'police control room'. ASI present kicked and pushed me inside the jeep amounting to kidnapping. I was not even allowed to close the door of my house.4. At a time when I was forced into the jeep my mother was not at home so she was not aware that I was taken away by police. While I was in police jeep my mother phoned me on my mobile. As I received my mother's call Police Constable Venkat Marshal confiscated my mobile from my hand and banged it on ground. When I protested and told police that my mother will be worried about my whereabouts, Police Constable Venkat Marshal warned me saying "you will not touch mobile ever again and he banged it to the ground and then switched it off.5. Inside the jeep, police asked me if I was wearing any gold chain. I put counter question to them 'why?' On this reply of mine police – Constable Venkat Marshal and PSI Tukaram Walke began to beat me up. One of them snatched my gold chain, another one pulled my long pant and I was left without my pant just in my short pant. From the pocket of the pant police confiscated cash of Rs. 1800/- and another Rs.50/-. All this was done to me while I was being carried in a police jeep from my village of Sirgao to Bicholim Police Station.6. Inside jeep all together there were four policemen - Constable Venkat Marshal, PSI Tukaram Walke, one ASI and a jeep driver. Police said to me "you are doing too much. You are asking for information under RTI. What do you think of yourself?" I was treated like a dog. They further said to me "you are doing too much; we are not going to leave you this way." I asked police in the jeep as to why my pant is taken away. Police instead of answering forcefully caught my shirt and tore off its buttons. They then said to me "we will now parade you nude at Bicholim bus stand. Then you will feel ashamed and only then you will learn as to how to write RTI letters.7. I was taken to Bicholim Police Station. When got off from the jeep and ASI was pulling me from front and constable Venkat was pushing me from behind. Once I reached the police station at Bicholim I was told to sit. Police then said loudly "This boy is doing too much, he is 'malkriad'. We have caught him and brought him here now.8. After few minutes police put me inside the police van and took me away to Bicholim Primary Health Centre. Over there doctor asked me "What you are feeling?" I told him that I am feeling black out in my eyes and head is heavy. Doctor checked my B.P and declared that it is very high at 190/100 and I am not fit for the lock up. I was hungry. I had only breakfast and had not taken lunch. Doctor told police to take me to District hospital in Mapusa. Doctor wanted to inject me something. I refused and did not give my consent. I was then brought to the Bicholim Police Station and police there was giving me tablets to swallow with water. I refused as I was without any food. Police said "this boy is too much" and started beating me up at Bicholim police station. Every policeman on duty beat me up with kicks and slaps. They then declared that they will beat me up even more for the reason that I refused tablets. I was beaten mercilessly. More they beat me more resolutely I refused to take the some chemical tablets offered to me. I told police that no matter how much they beat me, I will never take tablets. I was then again taken to Bicholim Primary Health Centre.9. Doctor here was angry at my refusal to take tablets. Doctor on duty then warned me that he will certify me as fit for police custody. The doctor then checked my blood pressure again and declared that my blood pressure is normal at 130/80. Doctor then told police that it is upto them whether they want to admit him to District Hospital in Mapusa or not.10. From the hospital I was taken to the police station again. My mother reached at police station. I gave my mobile to my mother at around this time 7.30 pm. My Mother Suvarna Suresh Gaonkar was called inside the cabin of Police Inspector Ninad Deulkar. PI Ninad Deulkar told my mother "We have arrested your son even though he has committed no offence of any kind, we have framed him up in criminal case because he has filed RTI letter seeking information about police." My mother told PI Deulkar "My son is in the path of righteousness and he committed no crime.". She walked out of the cabin of PI Deulkar. While she was walking out of his cabin PSI Walke caught her shoulder and took her back in the cabin of PI Deulkar even though my mother protested and said that no male policemen can touch her. I have not filed any RTI and not sure as to which RTI PI Deulkar found in my name. RTI letter was filed by my mother Suvarna Suresh Gaonkar in order to make democracy functional in Goa's mining belt and I have been made the target of torture. Even then filing of RTI letter does not warrant police torture violating anyone's self respect and dignity. The behavior of Police team at Bicholim Police station is barbaric as I experienced it first hand.11. I was stopped from talking to my mother and was whisked away and taken back into Jeep that drove towards District Hospital, Mapusa. Here I was taken to casualty ward. Doctor here inquired and examined my health status. I told doctor that my eyes are feeling black out and my head is heavy. Doctor got my ECG and checked my blood Pressure. He found that my blood pressure was very high at 160/90. Doctor said that I have to be admitted in the hospital. I was made to sit on the wheel chair and taken in for admission.12. Since it was already late and food was already served before I was admitted in the hospital nurse on duty told police that it is the responsibility of police to provide food for me. Police kept silent. Doctor wrote prescription of tablets. I refused tablets. Nurse asked me to sign the documents/papers that I am refusing tablets. I refused. Nurses then went to doctor. Then three policemen came back to me and warned me "if you are not going to sign these papers then we will beat you up. I signed these papers under duress. Nurses went away. I was neither given any food nor water to drink. Police put handcuff and tied me up to bed the whole night. I was on bed number 22 and I do not remember the ward number. I requested police to get my handcuff off my hands but police refused. The whole night I slept on bed with handcuff in my hands and locked to bed. By morning my left hand was totally numb. Many doctors came and inquired but no treatment was given to me.13. Handcuffs were removed from my hands just for 20 minutes in the morning of 26th January 2013 to go the toilet to answer nature's call. After this span of 20 minutes of freedom to my left hand I was handcuffed again. At around 10.00 am I was given medicines. I refused again. Doctor then wrote on my discharge paper "Fit for lock up".14. I was very weak and handcuffed even on 26th January 2013, Republic day of my beloved country. I did not take even water. I did not take dinner. From the hospital I was dragged and brought to Bicholim Police Station at around 11.00 am with handcuffs on. I complained about handcuffs. Police told me "If we do not put handcuffs on you then what else to put on?" On this Republic day I was brought to harsh and uncomfortable realization that I as OBC and mulnivasi is just a slave in free India and my freedom struggle has just began through handcuffs in my left hand.15. At Bicholim Police Station my handcuffs were removed. I am not sure as to who gave permission to handcuff me.16. At 1.00 pm on 26th January 2013 PSI Walke spoke to me at the Bicholim Police Station "We arrested you yesterday at 5.00 pm and now we will remand you for 14 days of judicial custody. This is a minor offence. You can take bail with two sureties. Now inform someone at home." I told him that I was not allowed to call my mother and when my mother called on my mobile you snatched and destroyed my mobile." PSI Walke retorted "You are still talking too much?" I told him "There is no fear to speak the truth." I was then asked to call up my mother. I called my mother from police telephone and after that I was sent into police lock up again. Handcuffs were put again on my hands inside the lock up. Several policemen gathered and said "we now have some more time to beat you and torture you. We were not able to do it as you spend most of the time in hospital last night." While I was being tortured and beaten up inside the police custody I noticed my mother walking from a distance and I cried aloud "Mummy". My mother heard my cries and she started to walk towards police custody. One policeman came and stopped her and told her to go in some other direction where lawyer was waiting with bail application.17. Then on 26th January 2013 while still in police custody I was forced to sign Memo of Arrest signed by T.P.Walke, PSI, Bicholim Police Station dated 25th January 2013 that reads as "You are hereby informed that you have been placed under arrest in Bicholim P.S. Cr.No. 17/13 u/s 341 of I.P.C today i.e. on 25.01.2013 at 17.00 hrs. You are further informed that the said offence is a bailable offence and you are entitled for bail.' I also signed arrest form after consulting my lawyer. I have not restrained anyone to attract section 341 of I.P.C. and I hold that this police action is in total violation of my human right to life and dignity enshrined in the Constitution of India on the eve and on the day of the Republic Day 2013. Police did not return my pant, my cash and my gold chain till date even though I am released on bail and out of police custody.18. In my understanding Bicholim police acted in this manner with me under the directions from Rajaram Bandekar (Sirigao) Mines Pvt. Ltd as they have past history of using police and other bodies of state administration like Panchayat and BDO for their vested interest of capturing 1,19,000 square meters of my family land near my house in Sirigao.19. I pray that suitable action be taken against all the named Constable Venkat Marshal, PSI Tukaram Walke, Police Inspector Ninad Deulkar and unnamed policemen attached to Bicholim Police station responsible to my torture on 25th and 26th January 2013.20. I pray to you to do everything possible for this matter has not just caused grave harm to me but to the very core of the spirit of the Constitution of India that governs all people of India.Thanking you,Yours Sincerely,Sd/-(Babi Suresh Gaonkar)

--It is very clear for the last few years that the HIGH COURTS & Supreme Court are totally HOSTILE against the RTI ACT. Can the Supreme Court explain as to how a person sitting in say Kanpur like myself obtain the Copies of the Writ Petitions etc from Karnataka High Court. I will have to go to the High Court, engage some Lawyer and then apply for the Certified copy of needed Writ or order and then wait till they are provided by the HC and then carry them back and by that time I will have spent about twenty thousand minimum. That is why the RTI ACt was given overriding effect over all other ACTS but the Courts are simply ignoring this fact.I fail TO UNDER STAND AS TO WHY TILL NOW NOBODY HAS POINTED THIS BEFORE THE COURTS OR IF IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT AND EVEN THEN THE SUPREME COURT IS IGNORING IT THEN "EVEN GOD CANNOT SAVE THE COUNTRY". THIS IS A PHRASE USED BY THE SUPREME COURT ITSELF IN A JUDGMENT A FEW YEARS BACK BUT IT FAILED TO MENTION THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDED SAVING FROM THE SUPREME COURT ITSELF FIRSTLY THEN FROM OTHERS.Robby Sharma KanpurMob-09415438326,09235844258

CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S. SINGHVI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.L. GOKHALE For Petitioner(s) Mr. V.N. Raghupathy,Adv. For Respondent(s) UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following O R D E R Delay condoned. This petition filed by Karnataka Information Commissioner for setting aside order dated 15.6.2012 passed by the Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court in Writ Appeal No.3255/2010 (GM-RES) titled Karnataka Information Commission v. State Public Information Officer and another cannot but be described as a frivolous piece of litigation which deserves to be dismissed at the threshold with exemplary costs. Respondent No.2 filed an application under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (for short, 'the Act') and sought certain documents and information from the Public Information Officer - Deputy Registrar (Establishment) of the High Court of Karnataka (respondent No.1). His prayer was for supply of certified copies of some information/documents regarding guidelines and rules pertaining to scrutiny and classification of writ petitions and the procedure followed by the Karnataka High Court in respect of Writ Petition Nos.26657 of 2004 and 17935 of 2006. Respondent No.1 disposed of the application of respondent No.2 vide order dated 3.8.2007 and intimated him that the information sought by him is available in the Karnataka High Court Act and the Rules and he can obtain the certified copies of the order sheets of the two writ petitions by filing appropriate application under the High Court Rules. Respondent No.2 filed complaint dated 17.1.2008 under Section 18 of the Act before the Karnataka Information Commission (for short, 'the Commission')and made a grievance that the certified copies of the documents had not been made available to him despite payment of the requisite fees. The Commission allowed the complaint of respondent No.2 and directed respondent No.1 to furnish the High Court Act, Rules and certified copies of order sheets free of cost. Respondent No.1 challenged the aforesaid order in Writ Petition No.9418/2008. The learned Single Judge allowed the same and quashed the order of the Commission by making the following observations: "The information as sought for by the respondent in respect of Item Nos. 1, 3 and 4 mentioned above are available in Karnataka High Court Act and Rules made thereunder. The said Act and Rules are available in market. If not available, the respondent has to obtain copies of the same from the publishers. It is not open for the respondent to ask for copies of the same from the petitioner. But strangely, the Karnataka Information Commission has directed the petitioner to furnish the copies of the Karnataka High Court Act & Rules free of cost under Right to Information Act. The impugned order in respect of the same is illegal and arbitrary. The information in respect of Item Nos.6 to 17 is relating to Writ Petition No.26657/2004 and Writ Petition No. 17935/2006. The respondent is a party to the said proceedings. Thus, according to the Rules of the High Court, it is open for the respondent to file an application for certified copies of the order sheet or the relevant documents for obtaining the same. (See Chapter-17 of Karnataka High Court Rules, 1959). As it is open for the respondent to obtain certified copies of the order sheet pending as well as the disposed of matters, the State Chief Information Commissioner is not justified in directing the petitioner to furnish copies of the same free of costs. If the order of the State Chief Information Commissioner is to be implemented, then, it will lead to illegal demands. Under the Rules, any person who is party or not a party to the proceedings can obtain the orders of the High Court as per the procedure prescribed in the Rules mentioned supra. The State Chief Information Commissioner has passed the order without applying his mind to the relevant Rules of the High Court. The State Chief Information Commissioner should have adverted to the High Court Rules before proceeding further. Since the impugned order is illegal and arbitrary, the same is liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the following order is made." Respondent No.2 did not challenge the order of the learned Single Judge. Instead, the Commission filed an appeal along with an application for condonation of 335 days' delay. The Division Bench dismissed the application for condonation of delay and also held that the Commission cannot be treated as an aggrieved person. We have heard Shri V. N. Raghupathy, learned counsel for the petitioner. What has surprised us is that while the writ appeal was filed by the Commission, the special leave petition has been preferred by the Karnataka Information Commissioner. Learned counsel could not explain as to how the petitioner herein, who was not an appellant before the Division Bench of the High Court can challenge the impugned order. He also could not explain as to what was the locus of the Commission to file appeal against the order of the learned Single Judge whereby its order had been set aside. The entire exercise undertaken by the Commission and the Karnataka Information Commissioner to challenge the orders of the learned Single Judge and the Division Bench of the High Court shows that the concerned officers have wasted public money for satisfying their ego. If respondent No.2 felt aggrieved by the order of the learned Single Judge, nothing prevented him from challenging the same by filing writ appeal. However, the fact of the matter is that he did not question the order of the learned Single Judge. The Commission and the Karnataka Information Commissioner had no legitimate cause to challenge the order passed by the learned Single Judge and the Division Bench of the High Court. Therefore, the writ appeal filed by the commission was totally unwarranted and misconceived and the Division Bench of the High Court did not commit any error by dismissing the same. With the above observations, the special leave petition is dismissed. For filing a frivolous petition, the petitioner is saddled with cost of Rs.1,00,000/-. The amount of cost shall be deposited by the petitioner with the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee within a period of 2 months from today. If the needful is not done, the Secretary of the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee shall recover the amount of cost from the petitioner as arrears of land revenue. |(Parveen Kr.Chawla) | |(Phoolan Wati Arora) | |Court Master | |Court Master | | | | | ----------------------- 5

Your reply to Mr.Sundaram was disheartening.You have mentioned that IAC doesn't give a rats arse for ELECTIONS. Since you do not believe in democracy,can I take it that IAC cares the same arse for judiciary,good governance,anti-corruption etc.Then what is the aim of this forum,a French Revolution?
We were showing the same part of anatomy(you took it from the rat to show your contempt for elections) to foreign invaders for almost 1000 years by busying ourselves, squabbling between us.So let us not use this forum for weakening our nation by creating anarchy.

Lala Lajpat Rai.January 28th 1865-November 17th 1928A GREAT ARYA SAMAJIST OF HIS TIME.Punjab Kesari (Lion of the Punjab).'Country should emulate the ideals of Lala Lajpat Rai'Lala Lajpat Rai was a great freedom fighter, author and politician who is chiefly remembered as a leader in the India's fight for freedom from the British Raj, who sacrificed his life for the sake of the country. Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the foremost leaders who fought against British rule in India. He was popularly known as Punjab Kesari (Lion of the Punjab). Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the three most prominent Hindu Nationalist members of the Indian National Congress. He was part of the Lal-Bal-Pal trio. The other two members of the trio were Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal.After studying law at the Government College in Lahore, Lajpat Rai practiced at Hissar and Lahore, where he helped to establish the nationalistic Dayananda Anglo-Vedic School and became a follower of Dayananda Sarasvati, the founder of the conservative Hindu society Arya Samaj.Lalaji believed that it was important for the national cause to organize propaganda in foreign countries to explain India's position because the freedom struggle had taken a militant turn. He left for Britain in April 1914 for this purpose. At this time First World War broke out and he was unable to return to India. He went to USA to galvanize support for India. He founded the Indian Home League Society of America and wrote a book called "Young India". The book severely indicted British rule in India and was banned in Britain and India even before it was published. He was able to return to India in 1920 after the end of World War.After his return, Lala Lajpat Rai,led the Punjab protests against the Jalianwala Bagh Massacre and the Non-Cooperation Movement. He was arrested several times.In 1928, British Government decided to send Simon Commission to India to discuss constitutional reforms. The Commission had no Indian member. This greatly angered Indians. In 1929, when the Commission came to India there were protests all over India. Lala Lajpat Rai himself led one such procession against Simon Commission. While the procession was peaceful, British Government brutally lathicharged the procession. Lala Lajpat Rai received severe head injuries and died on November17, 1928.The Government which attacks its own innocent subjects has no claim to be called a civilized government. Bear in mind, such a government does not survive long. I declare that"Every blow aimed at me will be the last nail in the coffin of British rule in India"
