"Who Stands In Judgment Should Be Incorruptible": Court On Judge's Appeal
The judicial officer, Shrirang Yadavrao Waghmare, was appointed as a Judicial Magistrate in 1985. He was dismissed from service on 2004.
Updated : September 22, 2019 03:12 IST

Supreme Court said findings on the magistrate's conduct have been upheld by all courts (File)
New Delhi:
Falling for "gratification of lust" proved costly for a magistrate from Maharashtra, as the Supreme Court, unmoved by his pleas for leniency, upheld his dismissal from service citing "lacunae" in the purity of his character.
A bench comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose said: "In our view the word 'gratification' does not only mean monetary gratification. Gratification can be of various types. It can be gratification of money, gratification of power, gratification of lust etc. In this case the officer decided the cases because of his proximate relationship with a lady lawyer and not because the law required him to do so."
The judicial officer, Shrirang Yadavrao Waghmare, was appointed as a Judicial Magistrate in 1985. In February 2001, he was put under suspension and dismissed from service in January 2004. He could not get any relief from the High Court.
The Supreme Court noted that the purpose of deciding this appeal, it is foremost necessary to take into account the core allegation against him. "The allegation was that he had a proximate relationship with a lady lawyer and due to this relationship he passed certain judicial orders in favour of her clients, including her mother and brother when they were parties to certain proceedings," observed the top court.
"His conduct is as such that no leniency can be shown and he cannot be visited with a lesser punishment," observed the court.
The court noted that these findings on the magistrate's conduct have been upheld by all courts and even the Supreme Court has not interfered with those findings.

"A Judge is judged not only by his quality of judgments but also by the quality and purity of his character. Impeccable integrity should be reflected both in public and personal life of a judge. One who stands in judgments over others should be incorruptible. That is the high standard which is expected of judges", said the court.

Is Sanjeev Bhatt’s Sentence An Indication Of India’s Dying Justice System?
  Azaz Ahmad

 
On June 20, 2019, Gujarat’s former IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt was sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court in a custodial death case, which goes back to 1990. Along with him a constable, too, was awarded the same sentence.
Sanjeev Bhatt is the same officer who had filed an affidavit in Supreme Court accusing Narendra Modi—the then Chief Minister of Gujarat—of “complicity in the 2002 riots”, which claimed the lives of over 1,200 people mostly Muslims, including women and children. The tragic riots were full of heinous crimes, one such being the gang rape of Bilkis Bano. The riots exposed how the entire government was involved in this state-sponsored ethnic cleansing of the Muslim community. But exposing their involvement has come with a cost for Bhatt.
Rakesh Asthana, another IPS officer from Gujarat, who was the police commissioner in Surat during Modi’s chief ministership, was appointed as a special director in CBI due to his long association with Modi. His appointment was controversial as he did not meet eligibility criteria, which was challenged in SC by an NGO. He was later moved out of CBI after being involved in a bribery case. Another example is DG Vanzara, the former inspector general who carried out the alleged fake encounter of Ishrat Jahan. He was subsequently acquitted by the blessings of the BJP government. Many officers have been punished for upholding their integrity—while those who compromised have been rewarded with promotions in the past many years.

Investigative journalist Rana Ayyub, published a book: “Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a Cover-Up,” exposing the complicity of the officers and BJP leaders including Amit Shah, in the Gujarat genocide. Rana Ayyub interviewed the masterminds of the Gujarat riots making videos of people talking proudly about killing Muslims and raping women.
All these are well documented facts, instances and indications which prove how the secular ethos of our democracy, and the justice system of India are being destroyed in broad daylight under the current regime.

Advocate Framed to Silence

Surat Advocate Alleges Harassment for Taking up Cases Against Police Officials
Human rights lawyer Bilal Kagzi says attempts are being made to silence him for exposing the police's rampant abuse of the rule of law.

By  Baljeet Kaur

When one speaks to Bilal Kagzi, a Surat-based human rights lawyer, it quickly becomes clear that he is an ardent practitioner of the law. In the profession for the last 12 years, Kagzi refers to several sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and case laws to illustrate the procedure the police is required to follow when registering an FIR and initiating investigations and arrests.
According to Kagzi, the police in the area has been abusing the rule of law rampantly, leading to sufferings of poor and marginalised. He claims that those who stand up for the victims are also being intimidated and harassed to keep them quiet. He himself has been facing intimidation for taking up cases against police officials, and attempts are being made to silence him.
At present, the advocate is representing several who have complained against officials at the Kosamba police station over the alleged misuse of power and corruption in an assault case involving a right to information activist. Kagzi has in the past represented members of marginalised communities and regularly supports victims of atrocities and those who have struggled while seeking justice under the SC/ST Atrocities Act.
In another case, he is representing a woman at the Police Complaints Authority regarding the implication of her son in a false case. He is also representing another client at the Gujarat State Human Rights Commission over illegal detention and custodial torture by the police.
The most recent incident of his false implication in a case occurred a month ago. Incidentally, he was not even present at the place and time of the incident.
On the morning of August 12, Kagzi was spending time with his family after having returned from morning namaz. It was the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha. He was home till 8:40 am, after which he went to visit his aunt who lives nearby. Later that day, he came to know about a scuffle in his colony triggered by an accident between two vehicles. It was well-known that the parties involved had a past feud, because of which the present incident escalated.
When that afternoon Kagzi contacted a policeman regarding a case he was working on, he was shocked to learn that he was going to be named in an FIR related to this incident. For the next several hours, he tried gathering information about the incident and the police action on the same. At around 9:30 pm – the FIR in the case was registered at 8:30 pm, 12 hours after the incident occurred – he visited Kosamba police station to inquire about the case but was told that there were orders not to reveal names of the accused and the charges filed.
“An FIR is a public document and various court rulings have adjudged that a copy has to be given to the accused, so I asked one of my junior lawyers to visit the police station and collect the FIR,” he said.
An FIR – being a public document – is also supposed to be uploaded online within 24 hours of filing. But this particular one was uploaded much later. As per the document, Kagzi is ‘accused no. 3,’ charged under various sections of the IPC, including attempt to murder.
This, however, is not the first time Kagzi has faced intimidation for performing his duties as a lawyer. Last year, he was threatened by a local goon with death threats, but police paid no attention to his pleas.
Earlier, in 2012, he and his clients were illegally detained and beaten up at the same Kosamba police station. They had come to register a complaint against a local goon for destroying a road of the village and blocking the way. Advocate Kagzi was reportedly threatened that he would be killed in a police encounter for “worrying too much about human rights”.
Talking about his recent cases, he shared, “There is a lot of abuse of power by the police. On one hand, they will not take action against the powerful even when they give death threats to others, and on the other, incidents involving small fights among poor will lead to arrests without bail and even torture in custody.”
When the land of Chimnipatal village in Surat’s Umarpada – reserved as grazing ground for the Adivasi community – was given to a private company called GETCO in March, the protesting people were beaten up and arrested. In total, 32 were charged under two FIRs. Based on them, 25 were arrested, including some women.
“Article 20 of the constitution clearly states that two FIRs can’t be registered on the same facts against the same accused as it will lead to double jeopardy,” Kagzi said. He represented some of those who were arrested based on the two FIRs.
He describes another incident – of a fight between two groups – which was investigated by the Kamraj police station in June 2018. In the case, 33 persons including ten women were charged. “Few men were caught and detained at the police station. All of their relatives and friends who were visiting the police station to enquire were also being detained and named in this FIR. Later, the women who visited to look for their husbands, brothers and sons were also booked in the same case.”
In this case, many were kept in illegal detention for 19 hours and beaten up in custody. During their appearance before the magistrate, they complained against the police officials. Later, a court enquiry found the allegations of torture in custody as legitimate and issued a notice against the involved policemen.
Kagzi further narrates, “The ordeal of these people did not end there. As soon as they were released on bail by the court, police detained them under Section 151 of the CrPC – preventive detention. They were released a day later and then put on the habitual offenders list.”
Coming back to the August incident, as soon as he got hold of the FIR, he collected evidence, including CCTV footage, and approached the police station. He submitted in writing to the superintendent of police and the investigation officer of the case, but did not get any response. “The police should have recorded my statement and taken cognisance of the evidence I presented to defend myself. After a fair investigation, when they would not have found any evidence against me, they should have filed a ‘B’ summary report regarding the wrongful information”. But nothing of this sort happened
CCTV footage shows Bilal Kagzi was at his home at the time of the incident.
Then, on August 19, Kagzi filed for an anticipatory bail in the Gujarat high court. He argued that the case had been filed over personal vengeance. An official even confided in Kagzi that police constables had, in fact, informed in their statement that he was not involved in the incident, but these statemen7ts were suppressed by police officers. The court then granted him anticipatory bail on August 27.
He has filed another mandamus writ petition in the Gujarat high court seeking directions for the police to conduct a fair and independent investigation. While this petition is pending, the police have still not taken the evidence he presented into consideration. “After my written submission, the police should have – as per law – collected CCTV footage in the presence of two panchas. Though I have a copy of the footage, the procedure requires the collection of the original footage by the police, which they are deliberately delaying. After 30 days, the original footage will get overwritten and will be lost,” Kagzi said.
Kagzi is not alone. Lawyers and human rights defenders like him are fighting against intimidation and harassment to ensure justice for the oppressed.

India reporter fears for life after exposing corruption
Concerns raised over media freedom as Pawan Kumar Jaiswal, who exposed corruption in school meal scheme, faces arrest

India reporter fears for life after exposing corruption
Concerns raised over media freedom as Pawan Kumar Jaiswal, who exposed corruption in school meal scheme, faces arrest.
by Mohammad Ali

New Delhi, India - An Indian journalist says he and his family are living in fear after police filed criminal cases against him for exposing corruption in a school midday meal scheme in Uttar Pradesh state.
Police have filed four criminal cases against Pawan Kumar Jaiswal for filing a video report that showed a school in Mirzapur district serve children only "roti" (or Indian bread) with salt.
As part of the state-run midday meal scheme run across government schools in India, children are supposed to be served cooked food to fight malnutrition - a major problem in the country.
"The reality is that me and my family are living in fear. The district administration is behaving vindictively to save themselves and their role in the mismanagement of the midday meal scheme," Jaiswal, who is a reporter with Jansandesh Times, a local newspaper, told Al Jazeera.
The video report, showing children eating roti with salt without any vegetables and "daal" (or split pulse) at the Mirzapur school went viral last month, causing public outrage.
'Defaming the government'
In the cases filed by the authorities, they accuse Jaiswal of defaming the state government headed by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The local officials accused Jaiswal and his source Rajkumar Pal under various sections of the Indian Penal Code including sections 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 186 (voluntarily obstructing public servants in discharge of his functions), 193 (false evidence) and 420 (cheating) on August 31.
"When Jaiswal and his source Rajkumar Pal who tipped him off, got to know that vegetable was not available in the school, instead of ensuring that the kids were served with vegetables, they criminally conspired to falsely defame the state government and recorded a video of students eating only roti and salt," says the police complaint, a copy of which is with Al Jazeera.
Jaiswal says he wanted to do his job by exposing the corruption in the midday meal scheme in the district. He said that the school had been serving kids rice, roti and salt for several weeks.
Despite finding Jaiswal's report true, the state government is yet to withdraw the complaint against him which means that he could be arrested at any time.
"I went to the school on August 22 when I found [out] that the school was serving rotis and rice with salt on different days. Seeing the kids eat just roti with salt melted my heart. I just wanted to ensure the kids are served nutritious food in midday meal as mandated by the law. So I reported it," Jaiswal told Al Jazeera telephonically from Mirzapur.
'Local journalists scared'
"All local journalists are extremely scared. We will certainly think 10 times before reporting," said Jaiswal, concerned about his safety as police have already arrested his source in the village.
The district magistrate of Mirzapur, Anurag Patel, justified the police action against Jaiswal, saying that he should not have recorded a video because he is a print journalist.
Despite repeated attempts, Al Jazeera could not reach BJP leaders for a response.
Journalists in Uttar Pradesh - India's most populous state - and in the capital New Delhi, however, have come to Jaiswal's support.
Dozens of local reporters in Mirzapur organised a "pen-down" protest on Tuesday over the police action which has come barely two months after a Delhi-based freelance journalist was picked up from his home by the Uttar Pradesh police.
Prashant Kanojia was arrested in June for criticising Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath - a hard line Hindu monk known for his anti-Muslim stance. Kanojia was released after the intervention of the Supreme Court.
Press freedom in India has deteriorated since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014.
Attack on press freedom
Journalists in Indian-administered Kashmir, which has been placed under a crippling lockdown for a month, have complained of harassment by authorities.
Due to its crackdown on freedom of the press, India dropped down two places in the global press freedom index of Reporters sans Frontieres (RSF), a Paris-based independent media watchdog. India is ranked 140th out of 180 countries, placed below Myanmar and Afghanistan.
The Editors Guild of India, a prominent Indian body of editors, termed the move "a clear and classic case of shooting the messenger".
"It is precisely exposes like these that show how valuable free and fearless journalists are to a democratic society. It is shocking that instead of taking action to fix what is wrong on the ground, the government has filed criminal cases against the journalists," said a statement issued by the guild on September 2.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and RSF have condemned the state action against Jaiswal.


The CPJ called on authorities to "immediately cease pursuing charges" against Jaiswal.
"Exposing wrongdoing is not defamatory, but rather part of a reporter's job, and filing a case against him is a form of harassment and intimidation," said Aliya Iftikhar, a senior Asia researcher with the CPJ.
Scared of further persecution by the government, Jaiswal has released several videos on social media pleading that he is innocent.
"I have done no wrong. I did what a reporter is supposed to do," Jaiswal told Al Jazeera.

A total of 81 journalists were killed this year, 348 are currently in prison, and 60 are being held hostage, according to the annual worldwide round-up of deadly violence and abusive treatment of journalists released Tuesday by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), which shows an unprecedented level of hostility towards media personnel.
The widely reported murders of Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi and the young Slovak data journalist Ján Kuciak highlighted the lengths to which press freedom’s enemies are prepared to go. More than half of the journalists killed in 2018 were deliberately targeted.
Violence against journalists has reached unprecedented levels this year, and the situation is now critical. The hatred of journalists that is voiced, and sometimes very openly proclaimed, by unscrupulous politicians, religious leaders and businessmen has tragic consequences on the ground, and has been reflected in this disturbing increase in violations against journalists.
RSF Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said.
Afghanistan: the world’s deadliest country for journalists in 2018
Afghanistan was the world’s deadliest country for journalists in 2018, with 15 killed. It was followed by Syria, with 11 killed, and Mexico, the deadliest country outside a conflict zone, with nine journalists murdered in 2018. The fatal shooting of five employees of the Capital Gazette newspaper in June brought the United States into the ranks of the deadliest countries.
China remains the world’s biggest jailer of journalists
The number of journalists detained worldwide at the end of the year – 348 – is up from 326 at this time last year. As in 2017, more than half of the world’s imprisoned journalists are being held in just five countries: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey.
China remains the world’s biggest jailer of journalists with 60 currently held, of whom three quarters are non-professional journalists.
Reuters reporters jailed for investigating Rohingya massacre in Myanmar
Despite international protests, Kyaw Soe Oo and Wa Lone, two Burmese journalists employed by the Reuters news agency who have been held since December 2017, were sentenced to seven years in prison in Yangon on 3 September. They were convicted on a trumped-up charge of violating the Official Secrets Act in reprisal for investigating a massacre of Rohingya civilians by soldiers in the village of Inn Dinn, in the north of Rakhine state, in September 2017.
  Detained Reuters journalist Wa Lone is escorted by police while arriving for a court hearing in Yangon, Myanmar on Thursday. (Reuters photo)
The army had been forced to acknowledge the massacre and seven soldiers were given ten-year jail sentences for their role in the bloodshed. The sole evidence against the two reporters was the supposedly classified documents found in their possession at the time of their arrest. However, a police officer testified during a preliminary hearing that they had been lured to a meeting where they were given the documents and then immediately arrested. The journalists have appealed the decision.
Journalists also live in fear in India
Journalists also live in fear in India. Six were murdered this year and many others were the targets of murder attempts, physical attacks, and threats. Hate campaigns against journalists, including incitement to murder, are common on social networks and are fed by troll armies linked to the Hindu nationalist right.
India has emerged in the world’s five deadliest countries for journalists alongside a first-time entrant in the list – the United States.
Those who murder journalists often use extremely barbaric methods. A village chief in the northeastern Indian state of Bihar killed two journalists, Navin Nischal and Vijay Singh, in retaliation for their reporting by deliberately running them down with his SUV on 25 March. On the same day in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, a dump truck was used to run down and kill Sandeep Sharma, a journalist who had been investigating a local “sand mafia.”

Sandeep Sharma, a reporter for the local News World television channel in Madhya Pradesh state’s Bhind district, was killed on March 26, 2018. He was driving on his motorbike to a government event when a truck veered into him and ran him over, according to the channel’s bureau chief, Vikas Purohit, who witnessed the collision, and a report by NDTV. Purohit told CPJ that he took Sharma to the local hospital where the journalist was declared dead from injuries sustained in the crash.
Shujaat Bukhari
Rising Kashmir | Killed in Srinagar city, India | June 14, 2018
Several unidentified gunmen fired at Shujaat Bukhari, 50, outside his office as he was leaving for an iftar party (the meal that breaks the Ramadan fast), according to media reports. He suffered injuries to the head and abdomen, according to a report on the Free Press Kashmir news website. Two police officers, who had been assigned to protect him after an attack in 2000, were also fired at, the reports said. All three were rushed to the Shri Maharaja Hari Singh hospital where they died, according to newsreports. The Rising Kashmir office is located in Srinagar city’s Press Colony, a high-security zone that houses other media organizations, according to a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
India has lost a fearless journalist who risked his life, every day, every hour and every minute.

Three journalists reported missing in 2018
The two journalists reported missing last year in Pakistan and Bangladesh are no longer missing, but RSF registered three new disappearances in 2018 — two of them in the Americas and one in Russia.
Jamal Khashoggi (Saudi Arabia)
Dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October sparked international outcry. Reported missing until the Saudi authorities acknowledged his murder, Khashoggi was strangled and then dismembered, according to Turkish authorities. The operation was reportedly carried out by a team that was dispatched from Saudi Arabia for this express purpose and left immediately afterwards. Living in self-imposed exile in the United States, Khashoggi had gone to the consulate to get the papers he needed to marry his Turkish fiancée. His shocking murder highlighted the appalling nature of the Saudi regime and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s oppressive methods. More than 160 NGOs asked the UN secretary-general to launch an independent international inquiry into Khashoggi’s death.
“Nobody dares to speak” said Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi before his forced disappearance

Yaser Murtaja and Ahmed Abu Hussein (Palestine)
Although clearly identified as a journalist, Yaser Murtaja, 30, was fatally shot by an Israeli army sniper on 6 April while covering one of a series of “Great Return March” demonstrations by Palestinians on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel. Another Palestinian journalist, Ahmed Abu Hussein, 25, was fatally shot while covering a similar protest at the border two weeks later. Witnesses said he was in a calm area 700 metres from the border when he was brought down by a clearly deliberate shot.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is an international non-governmental, non-profit organization with a recognized public interest function that has consultative status with the United Nations, UNESCO, the Council of Europe, the International Organization of the Francophonie and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Headquartered in Paris, it has bureaux, sections or representatives in 17 cities (Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, Helsinki, Istanbul, Karachi, Kiev, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Stockholm, Taipei, Tunis, Vienna and Washington), correspondents in 130 countries and 15 local partner organizations.

Judge in Trouble

Bihar Judge in trouble for questioning corruption in judiciary

Justice Rakesh Kumar, who is the senior most judge, said in his order on Wednesday, that corruption in High Court is (an) open secret. He also made scathing remarks on the prevailing situation in state judiciary and publicly pointed out corruption in lower courts.

The Patna High Court Chief Justice on Thursday issued a notice to withdraw all cases from a senior judge after he alleged corruption in judiciary while hearing a case against a former IAS officer.
According to a notice issued by the order of the Patna High Court Chief Justice, "all matters pending before Justice Rakesh Kumar, sitting singly including tired up/part heard or otherwise stand withdrawn with immediate effect".
"Justice Rakesh Kumar will await in chambers for work assignments until ordered otherwise" notice issued by the order of Chief Justice of Patnaa High Court said.
Justice Rakesh Kumar, who is the senior most judge, said in his order on Wednesday, that corruption in High Court is (an) open secret. He also made scathing remarks on the prevailing situation in state judiciary and publicly pointed out corruption in lower courts.
Justice Rakesh Kumar, while hearing the bail application of former IAS officer K. P. Ramiah, had questioned how he was granted bail by a lower court when the High Court as well as the Supreme Court had rejected his request for protection from arrest because of the gravity of the allegations.
Justice Kumar said a "corrupt officer" like Ramaiah secured bail as a vacation judge heard his case in place of the regular judge of the Vigilance Court, who was away for a day.
The judge also alleged that the full bench of the Patna High Court had taken a lenient view every time the case of any judge from the lower judiciary came up. "Despite my opposition, a judge facing serious charges was let off with minor punishment instead of an exemplary one," Justice Kumar had said in his order.
Justice Kumar also hit out at High Court judges for wasting public money by choosing to stay in guest houses for months on the pretext of renovating the government bungalows allotted to them.
Justice Kumar ordered that a copy of his Wednesday order be served to the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister's office and Union Ministry of Law and Justice.

In unprecedented remarks, the Madras High Court on Thursday (28 March) noted that even the judiciary was infested with corruption and that corrupt judicial officers and public servants should be declared “anti-nationals,” reports Times of India (TOI).
“They are anti-nationals because they are obstructing the development of this great nation. Terrorists are declared as anti-social elements. Thus, persons corrupt and acting against the developmental activities of our nation are also to be declared as anti-nationals. These anti-nationals do not care about the development of this country but are only interested in their self-development," Justice Subramaniam said.
Justice S M Subramaniam of the court noted that corruption in the judiciary was the “greatest enemy of the Constitution” and that it was imperative that wide-ranging reforms are initiated to reign in corruption in the courts.
"It is painful and unfortunate to state that sexual favours are demanded in lieu of bribe in educational institutions and public offices and what else can be worse than this in public administration," Justice Subramaniam added.
First Step
Recently President Ram Nath Kovind appointed former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose as India's first Lokpal. The Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 was passed by Indian Parliament paving the way for the establishment of a Lokpal (Ombudsman) to fight corruption in public offices and ensure accountability on the part of public officials, including the prime minister.

SC turns to CBI, police to curb graft in registry

FIR  against  High Court Judge  Shukla

Justice SN Shukla of the Allahabad High Court has become the first sitting high court judge to be prosecuted while in office in nearly three decades. Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to lodge an FIR against Justice Shukla.
The case relates to medical admission scam. Justice Shukla is accused of favouring a private medical college by extending the deadline for admission of students in contravention of the existing rules.
Prosecution of judges of the high court and the Supreme Court were not allowed till July 1991 when the top court provided for lodging FIR against them in the landmark Veeraswamy case. Justice Veeraswamy of the Madras High Court had been booked in a case of corruption in 1976.
He challenged the government's decision saying that law gives immunity to judges of the appellate courts from prosecution. The matter reached Supreme Court, which in 1991 allowed prosecution of judges of the high court and the Supreme Court but only after getting nod for the same from the Chief Justice of India.
Justice Shukla's prosecution is the first such case since the 1991 Supreme Court judgment. The decision followed an elaborate process of investigation by an internal panel of the Supreme Court which found Justice Shukla guilty of misconduct and deliberately delivering erroneous judgment to benefit the private medical college.
This comes only a few days after Justice Shukla requested CJI Gogoi to restore judicial functions to his jurisdiction. CJI Gogoi had ordered to take away his judicial functions in January 2018. He had also recommended, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month, removal of Justice Shukla from his position.

Editorial : How many voices you will silence  CJI ?
      In the past , Justice Karnan was jailed for speaking truth – corruption in judiciary. Judge Prabhakar Gawli dismissed from service for acting against corrupt. Now Justice  Rakesh Kumar paying the price for speaking  truth.  Supreme court judges , high court judges instead of conducting  fair investigation, prosecution into the charges and upholding law / truth are aiding  corrupt, criminals by silencing voices seeking justice. .
     Hereby  , we urge Honourable Chief Justice of India to order an impartial  inquiry , to protect the constitutional duties of victimized judges.

Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

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 ,
Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion
Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the
Petitioner above named.

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :

1. Facts of the case:
 Only in a free & fair atmoshphere  without undue influence or pressure , a person can tell truth. Recently in many high profile cases  like Sohrabuddin fake encounter case  witnesses are  turning hostile , but courts are not taking action against the  responsible police. In few other cases , police  use  3rd degree torture methods  on suspects to fit them in the cases. Even when the  accused  appeals  to judge for his protection from 3rd degree torture by police  , judge   still remands him to police custody. Example Gauri  Lankesh case.

2. Question(s) of Law:
 Is it not the duty of presiding judge of a case to ensure safety of defendant , accused , complainant & witnesses ?  When police  or  others use  3rd degree torture  on  accused , witnesses , etc are NOT such Police &  Judge Punishable ?
If  Judges , Police , Advocates have accepted  3rd degree torture as a right method to elicit truth from suspects, ok. When police subject an accused / a commoner  to 3rd degree torture  about a crime / theft of hundred rupees , why not police who have  robbed crores of rupees ( dacoity by police near yelwal mysuru ) are subjected to 3rd degree torture by  their colleagues? why not police torture former DGP for his involvement  in lottery scam ? Why not  police  torture their colleagues who have links , pass information to  Dawood Ibrahim ? Why not police torture Present CJI Dipak Mishra to elicit  truth about fake affidavit , kalikho pul case , Prasad education trust ? Why not police torture  Karnataka high court judges involved in mysore roost resort sex scandal ? All for eliciting truth. Why NOT ?

3. Grounds:

Requests for equitable justice , equal treatment of prisoners. Requests of  stopping torture of poor prisoners. Prosecution of  corrupt  judges , police & jail personnel.

4. Averment:
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  cases to perform their duties.

PRAYER:
In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased:
 a . 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 , GOI , Government of Karnataka authorities in the case to perform their duties.

b. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to  immediately annul  the Jail Manuals  of all state governments of india , which are discriminatory.
c. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to constitute an expert committee  to frame a “ Model Jail Manual “ applicable to all Indian states , union territories.
d. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to  initiate legal prosecution of jail personnel , police &  judges who failed in their duties to  ensure safety of prisoners , resulting in torture of prisoners and  for  prolonged imprisonment or   illegal  imprisonment of innocents.
e. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to order all state governments to ensure food , health care , recreational facilities , parole  on an equal footing  to all prisoners without discrimination.
f. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to  order respective state governments pay compensation to prisoners  for  suffering discrimination , torture.
g. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to  order respective state governments pay compensation to prisoners  who spent years behind bars , finally acquitted by courts  and in the case of prisoners  who spent more years in jail than the  quantum of punishment  codified in IPC  due to prolonged  case trials. In both such cases afterwards state government must recover money from  respective presiding judges , investigation officer & government  legal prosecutor.
h. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India  to  order Government of Karnataka  to provide protection to all the accused in Gauri Lankesh Case and to legally prosecute the guilty  police officials for attempt to murder charges. Also  to legally prosecute the presiding judge of the case who failed to  do his duty in protecting the accused.
i. In Sohrabuddin Fake Encounter Case  hostile witnesses have crossed 50 numbers. Either now they are under police  threat,  pressure &are lying  orelse   years back  they were  under police threat , pressure and lied previously. Either the present police are guilty  or the previous ones. Therefore honourable court must  first  prosecute  responsible police for criminal charges of  covering up crime, cheating & misleading the court , contempt of court. Also the  advocates  of case at that time who together with guilty police mislead the court must also be  prosecuted for the same criminal charges. Above all the judge who failed to protect witnesses from police threat must be prosecuted. Otherwise it is no justice , only  power of ruling elite who always wins.

j. to order  state police , central  intelligence  to subject  the police officials , judges  also to 3rd degree torture methods when they face allegations of corruption , illegalities , to elicit truth just as in the case of commoners. FAIR JUSTICE.

k. to pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.

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

The ABC of police force in India is apathy ,
brutality & corruption . in India, police are not impartially enforcing

encounters . they are hand in league with land mafia , today C.M of
Karnataka himself issued a warning to police officials about this.
Even in lock-ups , jails, the rich inmates bribe
officials get better food from outside , mobile phones , drugs , drinks
, cigareetes , etc. they get spacious cells & get best private medical
care . where as the poor inmates are even denied food , health care ,
living space as per the provisions of law. The corrupt jail officials
instigate rowdy elements in the jails to assault poor inmates & to toe
their line. More corrupt the police more wealthier he is. Even CBI
officials are no different. The only beacon of hope is still there are
few honest people left in the police force.

encounter deaths ?

6.why DGP of Karnataka is not registering my complaint dt 10/12/2004 ,
subsequent police complaints ?

Scrap police torture: Amit Shah

The home minister said forensic evidence was the need of the hour for police investigators to clinch convictions



Shah proposed a paradigm shift in the approach to policing and called for a countrywide consultative process to make changes to the IPC and the CrPC(PTI file photo)

Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday stressed the need for police reforms and suggested that the force do away with the age-old third-degree torture and adopt more scientific and new methods of investigation to stay ahead of criminals.
Speaking at the 49th foundation day celebrations of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD), the home minister said: “This is not an era of third-degree (torture) and the police need to adopt scientific methods and (study) forensic evidence for investigation to nail criminals. Police must think four steps ahead of criminals and criminal-minded people.”
Advocating police reforms, Shah said the conviction ratio in criminal cases in the country was “very pitiful” and age-old policing techniques such as third-degree torture and phone tapping would no longer help curb crimes or secure convictions.
The home minister said forensic evidence was the need of the hour for police investigators to clinch convictions.
Shah drew a distinction between police reforms and reforms in policing, and urged the BPRD to take the lead in the latter.
Shah proposed a paradigm shift in the approach to policing and called for a countrywide consultative process to make changes to the IPC and the CrPC.
He announced that a police university and a forensic science university would be set up at the national level.


Physical Abuse, Electric Shocks and Torture: What a Supreme Court Ordered Study Found in Haryana Jails

The methods of torture stated in the report include verbal abuse and slapping, as well as more extreme methods such as giving electric shocks, water boarding, sleep deprivation, harm to sexual parts of the body.


Allegations of “degrading and inhuman treatment, including torture, during police remand” have surfaced in Haryana prisons in a Supreme Court-ordered report on prison conditions in India.
The report, Inside Haryana Prisons, was commissioned by the Haryana State Legal Services (HSLS) in compliance with a 2013 order passed by the apex court in ‘Re: Inhuman Conditions in 1382 Prisons’ and was prepared by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) after interviewing 475 prisoners across 19 prisons in the state.
“Out of 475 inmates that the CHRI team interacted with, 227 (47.78%) said that they had been subjected to degrading and inhuman treatment, including torture, during police remand. Inmate narratives and their testimonies of torture revealed to us details of the methods and techniques used by the police,” the report stated.
The methods of torture included verbal abuse and slapping, as well as more extreme methods such as giving electric shocks, water boarding, sleep deprivation, harm to sexual parts of the body, it added.
The report further observed that “Regrettably, some of these methods (beating the soles of the feet with a baton, water boarding, hanging upside down, and rolling baton on the thighs, giving electric shocks, etc.) don’t leave visible marks on the body, which makes it difficult for victims to prove it.”
One such case of torture was reported by Jasjeet*, who is currently under trial at the Ambala central jail. During the eight days of police custody, Jasjeet was subjected to “severe forms of physical abuse, which included being given electric shocks, repeatedly being beaten with a slipper on his head, and having water forced up his nostrils”.
News18 spoke to Abhishek Jorwal, Superintendent of Police, Ambala, who outrightly denied these allegations.
“There are quarterly and monthly inspections by a High Court-appointed judge; there are visits by the Chief Judicial Magistrate as well. Before the accused is sent to judicial custody, the local police submits a report to the District Magistrate, never has any inmate told them anything. Many inmates sneak in drugs and mobile phones into the prison. They even conduct organized crime from inside the prison. They could say anything they want,” he said.
The official, who has been in charge of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) unit of the state police since 2017, maintained that when the police interrogates the accused they do not treat them inhumanely. “We feed them, we take their utmost care. There is no form physical violence on the accused like one sees in the movies. But, we do take the interrogation of the accused seriously.”
“Criminals know all ways to escape the scrutiny of the judicial system. So, during police remand we have to put them through tough questioning and cross questioning,” he said.
However, Justice Pramod Goyal of the HSLS, who was closely involved in the making of the report, told News18 that while the allegations of torture have surfaced, it is difficult to validate them at the present stage.
“The allegations are not made with regards to the inmate’s confinement in prison. These allegations are prior to their coming to the prison. The police may say that these findings are beyond the scope of the study. The police may not be ready to give information with regards to CIA staff,” he said.
Prison Conditions and Facilities
The CHRI study was commissioned after the Punjab and Haryana High Court constituted a committee to prepare a framework covering eight key aspects of prisons. Some aspects, which do not meet national and international standards as laid down by the 1894 Haryana Jail Manual, have been highlighted in the report.
In terms of administration and infrastructure, eight of the 19 jails have prison populations well within their official capacity. Overcrowding ranges from 170 per cent in Rewari to 22.8 per cent in Panipat.
Most jails have also given less significance to aspects like health and well-being. While all prison hospitals are equipped with medical equipment, specialised doctors such as dentists, gynecologists, dermatologist, psychiatrists and psychologists remain absent.
The practice of medical examinations at admission into the prison is followed across all prisons in the state. However, “Since only a few prisons use the National Human Rights Commission’s ‘Proforma for Health Screening of Prisoners on Admission to Jail, the inmates complained that injuries resulting from alleged torture would never be documented in the said proformas,” the report noted.
A study into the mulaaqats or visitation hours of family members in prisons revealed that some prisoners are “unable to meet their families because Aadhar cards have been made mandatory as identification proof of visitors and people without these are not allowed.”
The report further posited a list of recommendations based on the findings of the study. Justice Pramod Goyal of the HSLS told News18 that they are in the process of adopting these and an Action Taken Audit has been put in place to initiate that.
“Higher authorities will surely take cognizance of this report. We will send this report to all stakeholders including the police. It will be done within a day or two. Every stakeholder or department will look into the report as per their jurisdiction. We are proposing the audit to ensure that every stakeholder has taken note of the report, has taken action on it and whether the action taken is sufficient,” he added.

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 ,
Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion
Justices of the Supreme Court of India. 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.
  Majority  of  prisoners  in  Indian  jails  belong  to   poor , minority , oppressed  sections of society and  2/3rd  of  prison  population  comprises of undertrials.  Are  not  there any criminals  among rich , affluent  and forward castes , majority community ?  It  proves the bias , prejudice  of  police , establishment. There are  good  , honest  people  as  well as criminals  in  all castes , religions and all walks of life. There are deadly anti nationals , criminals among the police force , judiciary , parliament  , but due to their  caste , financial clout  escaping from conviction , legal prosecution.
    As  per  law , all citizens of india are equal.  However  under trials  ( who are innocents till proven guilty )  are discriminated in Indian jails.  Ordinary citizens / accused  are crammed in rooms resembling  pig stays . whereas  accused  from  rich / influential back grounds  are given separate rooms with cot , bed , television , news paper , etc.
   As  per  law , all citizens of india are equal.  A criminal is a criminal . However   Indian prison authorities discriminates here also.  Former ministers  who looted  crores of rupees from public  exchequer , corporate  persons  industrialists who have cheated public , public banks of crores of rupees are given royal treatment , get best food , health care where as an ordinary pick pocket , house burglar  are  treated like slaves , pigs don’t get proper food , health care.
   India Jail Manual   procedures differentiate prisoners based on their caste , social  background ,  while  allotting  prison cells , food , visitor facility , parole ,  mandatory work , recreation facilities - which in itself is illegal.
   Apart from this , corruption in Indian jails is rampant.  Prisoners with money , influence  get everything within  jail itself , mobile phone , drugs , fire arms , etc. some  mafia dons  run their empire from prison itself.
  Poor prisoners are tortured by  police , jail personnel and   criminals  within jails. Indian Jails are reform centre , where everyone should treated equally in all respects. By practicing discrimination  jail  authorities  are promoting small time criminals to commit  bigger crimes to get royal treatment in society as well  as in jail.
  Few   prisoners convicted by lower court due to bias of police , prosecutor  &  lower court judges are acquitted by higher courts.  However  due to this wrong conviction of innocents , the innocent person is deprived of his life & liberty for  years , decades. But the culprits  Investigating officer , police , public prosecutor & judge are not prosecuted for their crimes. In this  manner  even innocents are killed in fake encounters or  by death sentence.
  It is the duty of the judge  who awards  jail sentence to a  convict or an accused  , to  ensure his safety , health care  and to  see that prisoner gets right punishment as per law. Here our judges have failed. SHAME SHAME to police & judges.
 If  the Supreme Court of India ,  NHRC  delays  in acting on this PIL  petition  resulting in  prolonged  imprisonment of  undertrials , convicts or Innocents , Supreme Court of India  / NHRC  judges  also jointly become responsible for the  crimes against those  illegally imprisoned and  SCI judges are also equally responsible to pay compensation from their personal pockets.

2. Question(s) of Law:

Are  not all  prisoners  equal ?  is not  theft  of ten rupees  or theft of thousand crores of rupees , both crimes ?  Are not both criminals thieves ? then why differentiation ? Is it not the constitutional duty  of a judge  who has  awarded jail sentence to  an accused / a convict ,  to  ensure safety , health care of the said prosiner ? is it  not the duty of  the judge  to monitor whether  the convict is getting  right  punishment  as per law  nothing  less  nothing  more ?

3. Grounds:

Requests for equitable justice , equal treatment of prisoners. Requests of  stopping torture of poor prisoners. Prosecution of  corrupt  judges , police & jail personnel.
