Re: [IAC#RG] CONFIDENTIAL: Fwd: Complaint No.201011014001145 against State Bank of India

To:
CGM/(CSD) RBI

22-June-2014

Dear Sir,

I would appreciate a formal reply clearly intimating why I have not
received a speaking order signed by any Dy. Governor of RBI on my long
pending grievance and the first appeal I preferred to him.

I am clearly informing you and putting RBI on notice that Dr
K.C.Chakraborty (former Dy. Governor/RBI) was a corrupt public servant
who had been bribed by State Bank of India not to process my formal
first appeal.

I am clearly informing you and putting RBI on notice that Mr. K.P.
John Kutty is a corrupt public servant who had been bribed by State
Bank of India not to allow my my formal first appeal to be processed.

I am clearly informing you and putting RBI on notice that the then
Banking Ombudsman Delhi who issued my order is a corrupt public
servant who had been bribed by State Bank of India to issue it.

I am clearly informing you and putting RBI on notice that the then
Secretary to Banking Ombudsman Delhi who issued my order is a corrupt
public servant who had been bribed by State Bank of India to issue it.

I look forward to any response the Reserve Bank of India wishes to
make on my long pending public grievance against SBI which only awaits
an order signed by any Deputy Governor of RBI to dispose of it
finally.

NB: That the facts of my complaint to the BO Delhi and my subsequent
appeal were true and correct is borne out from that RBI subsequently
directed all Banks to issue "Basic Banking Savings Accounts" solely
based on my grievance, but that does not absolve the above-named
officers to escape from their liability under the Prevention of
Corruption Act and also the Indian Penal Code for forgery, deception,
fraud and cheating etc. which I am increasingly inclined to pursue in
the face of RBI's inability to communicate with me.

Yours faithfully

Re: [IAC#RG] SUPREME COURT CRYING FOR JUSTICE

Q. Is it a sufficient reason to hold him as an accused.

Ans: YES. The cheque was possibly a "post dated" cheque issued at the time the accused was a director in the company (-2009) There are conflicting judgments on liability of directors, but the singular admitted fact that in 2010 the accused still promoted the company to 3rd parties arouses suspicion that the resignation in 2009 was contrived.

In any case, this mailing list a not a forum for speculation on selectively provided facts, we have the WWW.INDIARESISTS.IN forum for that

This is a case of cheque bounce under section 138 of NI Act
 
A cheque was issued by a complainant company to an accused company. The cheque bounce took place sometime in Oct 2010.

The accused had resigned from the directorship of the accused company in Nov 2009. He produced certified copy of Form 32 from Registrar of companies, to prove that he had resigned in Nov 2009. In addition he was never a paid employee of the accused company. The cheque was not signed by him.

He was not a signatory in the agreement under which the cheques were issued. He was not even mentioned in the agreement.

Only that he made an email to a third party ( not to the complainant ) in Apr 2010, promoting the accused company.

Status : You will appreciate that he has been made an accused in an MM court and when he challenged it in high court, the hon judge, based on the Apr 2010 e-mail gave a decision to examine whether the accused was a director or not and ordered for continuation of proceedings of the trial court. And the case is since pending in both the courts.

Q. Is it a sufficient reason to hold him as an accused.

Re: [IAC#RG] WHY FOREIGN FUNDING FOR NGOs ?

IB is an exempted organisation u/s 24 RTI Act, to the extent that they
don't exist officially , don't have a CPIO, and don't have any section
4 RTI disclosure.

If you disagree and file your RTI appeals, you will find that the CIC
is allegedly (self declared) ex-IB (DG), as is another IC. So don't
waste you time or ours.

Re: [IAC#RG] PDF COPY of secret IB NGO report "Impact of NGOs on Development"

Dear Anil

The Union of India has no record of Mr. Safi Ahsan Rizvi being in the
IB or posted to Mr. Chidambaram as OSD. This can be verified from his
IPS number 19891004 (his wife is 19901013) and they are now both
Uttarakhand IPS cadre. The IB does not exist, there is no such animal.

Since the "leaked" copy circulating in public domain (its a numbered
controlled copy) ) is the one supposedly sent to the Finance Minister
- Arun Jaitley, this seems (on the surface) to be a Congress inspired
report to fix all their former pinko "allies" who have moved over to
the Aam Aadmi Party or BJP camps, and pin the blame on the BJP.

Its certainly very curious that notorious anti-development
anti-national foreign financed Congress spies like Aruna "Roy", her
so-called husband "Bunker" Roy, Shekhar Singh, Harsh Mander, and so on
have been left out of this report.That this report is soft on US and
Chinese sponsored activists (aka spies), and instead focuses on the
European funded ones is worth noting for how it divides the pinko
activist camp(s).

Its also noteworthy that this IB report does not name the present
Cabinet Secretary (Ajit Kumar Seth) and Syamal Kr. Sarkar (Secy DoPT)
as 2 of India's most corrupt serving babus who were throughout acting
as facilitators for the above-named gaggle of anti-nationals during
the Sonia regime. Its also pertinent that this pair haven't been
flushed down the toilet as yet (along with Raghuram Rajan) by Sh.
Narendra Modi.

It is the courts and courts only which are responsible not only for the subversion of the justice delivery system but for the increasing lawlessness and crimes. Just ask how many times the apex court had entertained bail applications of Raja and Kanimozhi? And now they are shamelessly trying to pass on the buck to the Parliament. Why courts, even quasi judicial organisation have been following the bad example of courts and have been only draining the exchequer without delivering even 1 percent of what they are tasked to deliver. The district forum in Palakkad had been adjourning a consumer complaint of a complainant in the adjoining district involving a doctor for years on end. Almost after ten years I sought info on the status of the complaint. I got the info that it is pending. But at the next date for hearing it was dismissed! I complained to the minister for consumer affairs and the chief minister here. Nothing happened, except that in response to the complaint to the CM the President of the Forum said that the stipulation of three months for disposing a complaint is only a guideline and that was it! For details please read my blogs:

CRIMINAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION

WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) NO. 57 OF 2014


Subrata Roy Sahara …. Petitioner

versus

Union of India and others …. Respondents


J U D G M E N T

Jagdish Singh Khehar, J.



149. A lot of these hearings consumed this Court's full working day. Hearing of the main case, consumed one full part, of the entire summer vacation (of the Supreme Court) of the year 2012. For the various orders passed by us, including the order dated 31.8.2012 (running into 269 printed pages) and the present order (running into 205 printed pages), substantial Judge hours were consumed. In this country, judicial orders are prepared, beyond Court hours, or on non-working days. It is apparent, that not a hundred, but hundreds of Judge hours, came to be spent in the instant single Sahara Group litigation, just at the hands of the Supreme Court. This abuse of the judicial process, needs to be remedied. We are, therefore of the considered view, that the legislature needs to give a thought, to a very serious malady, which has made strong inroads into the Indian judicial system.

150. The Indian judicial system is grossly afflicted, with frivolous litigation. Ways and means need to be evolved, to deter litigants from their compulsive obsession, towards senseless and ill-considered claims. One needs to keep in mind, that in the process of litigation, there is an innocent sufferer on the other side, of every irresponsible and senseless claim. He suffers long drawn anxious periods of nervousness and restlessness, whilst the litigation is pending, without any fault on his part. He pays for the litigation, from out of his savings (or out of his borrowings), worrying that the other side may trick him into defeat, for no fault of his. He spends invaluable time briefing counsel and preparing them for his claim. Time which he should have spent at work, or with his family, is lost, for no fault of his. Should a litigant not be compensated for, what he has lost, for no fault? The suggestion to the legislature is, that a litigant who has succeeded, must be compensated by the one, who has lost. The suggestion to the legislature is to formulate a mechanism, that anyone who initiates and continues a litigation senselessly, pays for the same. It is suggested that the legislature should consider the introduction of a "Code of Compulsory Costs".

151. We should not be taken to have suggested, that the cost of litigation should be enhanced. It is not our suggestion, that Court fee or other litigation related costs, should be raised. Access to justice and related costs, should be as free and as low, as possible. What is sought to be redressed is a habituation, to press illegitimate claims. This practice and pattern is so rampant, that in most cases, disputes which ought to have been settled in no time at all, before the first Court of incidence, are prolonged endlessly, for years and years, and from Court to Court, upto the highest Court.

152. This abuse of the judicial process is not limited to any particular class of litigants. The State and its agencies litigate endlessly upto the highest Court, just because of the lack of responsibility, to take decisions. So much so, that we have started to entertain the impression, that all administrative and executive decision making, are being left to Courts, just for that reason. In private litigation as well, the concerned litigant would continue to approach the higher Court, despite the fact that he had lost in every Court hitherto before. The effort is not to discourage a litigant, in whose perception, his cause is fair and legitimate. The effort is only to introduce consequences, if the litigant's perception was incorrect, and if his cause is found to be, not fair and legitimate, he must pay for the same. In the present setting of the adjudicatory process, a litigant, no matter how irresponsible he is, suffers no consequences. Every litigant, therefore likes to take a chance, even when counsel's advice is otherwise.

153. Does the concerned litigant realize, that the litigant on the other side has had to defend himself, from Court to Court, and has had to incur expenses towards such defence? And there are some litigants who continue to pursue senseless and ill-considered claims, to somehow or the other, defeat the process of law. The present case, is a classic illustration of what we wish to express. Herein the regulating authority has had to suffer litigation from Court to Court, incurring public expense in its defence, against frivolous litigation. Every order was consistently and systematically disobeyed. Every order passed by the SEBI was assailed before the next higher authority, and then before this Court. Even though High Courts have no jurisdiction, in respect of issues regulated by the SEBI Act, some matters were taken to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (before its Lucknow Bench). Every such endeavour resulted in failure, and was also sometimes, accompanied with strictures. Even after the matter had concluded, after the controversy had attained finality, the judicial process is still being abused, for close to two years. A conscious effort on the part of the legislature in this behalf, would serve several purposes. It would, besides everything else, reduce frivolous litigation. When the litigating party understands, that it would have to compensate the party which succeeds, unnecessary litigation will be substantially reduced. At the end of the day, Court time lost is a direct loss to the nation. It is about time, that the legislature should evolve ways and means to curtail this unmindful activity. We are sure, that an eventual determination, one way or the other, would be in the best interest of this country, as also, its countrymen.

Re: [IAC#RG] SUPREME COURT CRYING FOR JUSTICE

It is the courts and courts only which are responsible not only for the subversion of the justice delivery system but for the increasing lawlessness and crimes. Just ask how many times the apex court had entertained bail applications of Raja and Kanimozhi? And now they are shamelessly trying to pass on the buck to the Parliament. Why courts, even quasi judicial organisation have been following the bad example of courts and have been only draining the exchequer without delivering even 1 percent of what they are tasked to deliver. The district forum in Palakkad had been adjourning a consumer complaint of a complainant in the adjoining district involving a doctor for years on end. Almost after ten years I sought info on the status of the complaint. I got the info that it is pending. But at the next date for hearing it was dismissed! I complained to the minister for consumer affairs and the chief minister here. Nothing happened, except that in response to the complaint to the CM the President of the Forum said that the stipulation of three months for disposing a complaint is only a guideline and that was it! For details please read my blogs:

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

CRIMINAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION

WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) NO. 57 OF 2014


Subrata Roy Sahara …. Petitioner

versus

Union of India and others …. Respondents


J U D G M E N T

Jagdish Singh Khehar, J.



149. A lot of these hearings consumed this Court's full working day. Hearing of the main case, consumed one full part, of the entire summer vacation (of the Supreme Court) of the year 2012. For the various orders passed by us, including the order dated 31.8.2012 (running into 269 printed pages) and the present order (running into 205 printed pages), substantial Judge hours were consumed. In this country, judicial orders are prepared, beyond Court hours, or on non-working days. It is apparent, that not a hundred, but hundreds of Judge hours, came to be spent in the instant single Sahara Group litigation, just at the hands of the Supreme Court. This abuse of the judicial process, needs to be remedied. We are, therefore of the considered view, that the legislature needs to give a thought, to a very serious malady, which has made strong inroads into the Indian judicial system.

150. The Indian judicial system is grossly afflicted, with frivolous litigation. Ways and means need to be evolved, to deter litigants from their compulsive obsession, towards senseless and ill-considered claims. One needs to keep in mind, that in the process of litigation, there is an innocent sufferer on the other side, of every irresponsible and senseless claim. He suffers long drawn anxious periods of nervousness and restlessness, whilst the litigation is pending, without any fault on his part. He pays for the litigation, from out of his savings (or out of his borrowings), worrying that the other side may trick him into defeat, for no fault of his. He spends invaluable time briefing counsel and preparing them for his claim. Time which he should have spent at work, or with his family, is lost, for no fault of his. Should a litigant not be compensated for, what he has lost, for no fault? The suggestion to the legislature is, that a litigant who has succeeded, must be compensated by the one, who has lost. The suggestion to the legislature is to formulate a mechanism, that anyone who initiates and continues a litigation senselessly, pays for the same. It is suggested that the legislature should consider the introduction of a "Code of Compulsory Costs".

151. We should not be taken to have suggested, that the cost of litigation should be enhanced. It is not our suggestion, that Court fee or other litigation related costs, should be raised. Access to justice and related costs, should be as free and as low, as possible. What is sought to be redressed is a habituation, to press illegitimate claims. This practice and pattern is so rampant, that in most cases, disputes which ought to have been settled in no time at all, before the first Court of incidence, are prolonged endlessly, for years and years, and from Court to Court, upto the highest Court.

152. This abuse of the judicial process is not limited to any particular class of litigants. The State and its agencies litigate endlessly upto the highest Court, just because of the lack of responsibility, to take decisions. So much so, that we have started to entertain the impression, that all administrative and executive decision making, are being left to Courts, just for that reason. In private litigation as well, the concerned litigant would continue to approach the higher Court, despite the fact that he had lost in every Court hitherto before. The effort is not to discourage a litigant, in whose perception, his cause is fair and legitimate. The effort is only to introduce consequences, if the litigant's perception was incorrect, and if his cause is found to be, not fair and legitimate, he must pay for the same. In the present setting of the adjudicatory process, a litigant, no matter how irresponsible he is, suffers no consequences. Every litigant, therefore likes to take a chance, even when counsel's advice is otherwise.

153. Does the concerned litigant realize, that the litigant on the other side has had to defend himself, from Court to Court, and has had to incur expenses towards such defence? And there are some litigants who continue to pursue senseless and ill-considered claims, to somehow or the other, defeat the process of law. The present case, is a classic illustration of what we wish to express. Herein the regulating authority has had to suffer litigation from Court to Court, incurring public expense in its defence, against frivolous litigation. Every order was consistently and systematically disobeyed. Every order passed by the SEBI was assailed before the next higher authority, and then before this Court. Even though High Courts have no jurisdiction, in respect of issues regulated by the SEBI Act, some matters were taken to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (before its Lucknow Bench). Every such endeavour resulted in failure, and was also sometimes, accompanied with strictures. Even after the matter had concluded, after the controversy had attained finality, the judicial process is still being abused, for close to two years. A conscious effort on the part of the legislature in this behalf, would serve several purposes. It would, besides everything else, reduce frivolous litigation. When the litigating party understands, that it would have to compensate the party which succeeds, unnecessary litigation will be substantially reduced. At the end of the day, Court time lost is a direct loss to the nation. It is about time, that the legislature should evolve ways and means to curtail this unmindful activity. We are sure, that an eventual determination, one way or the other, would be in the best interest of this country, as also, its countrymen.

Re: [IAC#RG] PDF COPY of secret IB NGO report "Impact of NGOs on Development"

Smt. Sarah Afzal Rizvi is a 2008 batch IPS officer of Gujrat cadre. How can a person of six years seniority become Joint Director of I. B.? in fact, the signatory of the report is Mr. S.A. Rizvi who has earned PGDM from IIM Ahmedabad. His only link with Gujarat. He was born in U.P. he is a U.P. cadre IPS officer. Before he came to the I.B. he was O.S.D. to mr. P. Chidambaram when he was the Union Home minister. His wife Mrs. Anju Gupta is also an IPS officer and she testified against Advani before the Labransh Commission. Hope, mr. Roy will correct.

Regarding monitoring of foreign funded NGOs is concerned, most in this list are not at all aware of the facts:
1. The law regulating foreign funded NGOs was brought in by Indira Gandhi (Chidambaram etc. were nowhere). UPA2 amended the law making it more stringent.
2. Any NGO desiring to receive foreign funds has to be registered under FCRA - which is issued by the MHA after a IB (SIB- subsidiary investigation bureau) inquiry.
3. Every fcra registered NGO has to submit audited accounts every year, failing which their fcra gets canceled. Details of receipts and expenditure of NGOs are there on the MHA-fcra website.
4. the fcra dept in MHA regularly checks activities of NGOs through field reports from SIB. If necessary they visit or even demand information through a template-questionnaire.

It is still not known if the "IB leaked report" floated in the web via some media is an IB report. The Home Minister has denied of seeing any such report - which allegedly went directly to the PM.
Even if true, there is no real evidence of 'foreign hand' in the report, excepting funding. Many NGOs believe in an economically equitable, ecological sustainable and democratically just society. They believe in opposing projects devastating the people and ecology. Where is the foreign hand in this? The govt needs to give evidence of actions of NGOs being dictated by donors, not of those NGOs who get funds on the basis of their own ideological commitments.

The GDP-mania of the UPA, NDA and most parties will only ride roughshod over those criticising them. Can you imagine over 7000 people charged with sedition in Tamil Nadu for anti Koodankulam protests? Even the colonial empire did not need to unleash such state repression. If this mania continues, there will be no place for activists or even another Rabindranath Tagore to pen 'Muktdhara' and talk of the curse of dams - this will be a threat to India's Economic Security.

Dear All
It is a common knowledge that NGOs misuse funds.
Foreign funds have to be used for specific purposes and a separate account has to be kept. But the same is manipulated. Local funding is also misappropriated. The Charity Commission takes years due to various reasons to correct violations and trustees make hay and make mockery of law.
It is common knowledge that. Culprits more than often go Scot free in this country due to our legal system.

Dear Mr. Venkataraman
 
The time has certainly come to closely monitor the activiries of N.GOs
Mr. Chidambaram had initiated the process for NGOs getting foreign funds.The present Govt. will now be expediting this process .
Thiere have been serious allegations of misuse of funds not only for conversion but anti-social activities, terrorism and other anti national activities.
Some NGOs are bound to protest but those who have nothing to hide should welcome if it leads to transparancy in their working.
Banning foreign remittances at present will not be feasible, but as the country becomes financially strong and can meet the needs of NGOs through Govt. aid and volutary contribution, it should be the ultimate goal.
The figure of 20 lakhs seems to be on the higher side. All NGOs have to be registered either with Charity Commissioners or as Registered Societies under the Societies Act. Aid from Govt. is difficult to get and not enough.It will be worthwhile to collect data Statewise and Subject-wise. You will be amazed to see heavy concentration in some states and very small nos in many states.
Getting them under RTI will be a tall order. Even PPP projects are not under RTI. But public opinion should be built for NGOs totally dependent on Govt. or foreign funding.

Subject: [IAC#RG] WHY FOREIGN FUNDING FOR NGOs ?


To
 
India Against Corruption
 
 
 

                                                                                                                 WHY FOREIGN FUNDING FOR NGOs ?

 

While some NGOs are protesting about the accusation of intelligence bureau that some NGOs receive foreign funds which are misused ,  the question arises in one's mind immediately  as to why these NGOs receive funds from abroad at all. Can they not function well with the money made available to them by the government (around Rs. 950 crores per annum)  and by many donors in India ?

 

While it is true that many NGOs are doing good work in  several areas, there is suspicion that quite a number of NGOs in the country view the NGO activities as "business opportunity" perhaps, this explains as to why there are around   20 lakh  number of NGOs in the country at present. ( One for every 600 citizens)  Several  promoters of NGOs who are not employed and who have no known source of income often are seen living in comfortable life style, with posh office facilities and  travelling frequently. Obviously, such promoters divert part of the donation made to the NGOs for their personal benefits. It is also believed that under the cover of NGO, the overseas funds are used for conversions and other purposes under the guidance of overseas masters.

 

NGOs have very crucial role to play, since large percentage of countrymen living  below poverty line and exploitation of the innocent  people and atrocities against women are increasing.. At the same time, it has to be ensured that bad elements and  motivated  campaigners do not hide their true colour in the name of NGOs.

 

Certainly, there is strong case that Government of India should closely monitor the activities of NGOs particularly those receiving funds from abroad  and NGOs should be brought under RTI Act.

 

It would be even appropriate that Government of India should ban the practice of NGOs receiving  funds from abroad  once for all.
