WAITING FOR "DIVINE" JUSTICE

Perhaps what cannot be won in a Court of Law becomes otherwise a reality by means of seemingly "heavenly intervention!" - NEMESIS


Nemesis

by Micha F. Lindemans

In Greek mythology, Nemesis is the goddess of divine justice and vengeance. Her anger is directed toward human transgression of the natural, right order of things and of the arrogance causing it. Nemesis pursues the insolent and the wicked with inflexible vengeance. Her cult probably originated from Smyrna. She is regarded as the daughter of Oceanus or Zeus, but according to Hesiod she is a child of Erebus and Nyx.

She is portrayed as serious looking woman with in her left hand a whip, a rein, a sword, or a pair of scales. In the Hellenistic period she was portrayed with a steering wheel. Also called Rhamnusia, from a temple and statue of her in Rhamnus, a village in the northern part of Attica. The epithet Adrasteia "she whom none can escape", properly of the those of the Phrygian Cybele, was later applied to her.



Inspite of all adverse reports we still believe in INDIAN JUDICIARY & ITS REJUVINATION



The BayHeresy: Indian Judiciary Fact of the Day: "Indian Judiciary Fact of the Day

As of February 2006, 33,635 cases were pending in the Supreme Court with 26 judges; 3,341,040 cases in the high courts with 670 judges; and 25,306,458 cases in the 13,204 subordinate courts. This vast backlog leads to long adjournments and prompts people to pay to speed up the process. In 1999, it was estimated: ‘At the current rate of disposal it would take another 350 years for disposal of the pending cases even if no other cases were added.’

The ratio of judges is abysmally low at 12–13 per one million persons, compared to 107 in the United States, 75 in Canada and 51 in the United Kingdom. If the number of outstanding cases were assigned to the current number of judges, caseloads would average 1,294 cases per Supreme Court judge, 4,987 per high court judge and 1,916 cases per judge in the lower courts. Vacancies compound the problem. In March 2006, there were three vacancies in the Supreme Court, 131 in the high courts and 644 in the lower courts. Judges cope with such case lists by declaring adjournments. This prompts people to pay ‘speed money’.

globalinfo.org - May 31, INDIA (#50630): "INDIA: BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION PLAGUE JUDICIARY SYSTEM

By Praful Bidwai MORE BY THIS AUTHOR

NEW DELHI, May 31, 2007 (IPS/GIN) -- More than three-quarters of people in India believe that the country's judiciary system is corrupt, according to a new survey.

The 'Global Corruption Report 2007' highlighted the lack of public trust in India's judiciary, which many feel is overbearing and democratically unaccountable.

Compiled by Transparency International, the report is based on a 2005 countrywide survey of 'public perceptions and experiences of corruption in the lower judiciary,' which was conducted by the Center for Media Studies. The survey found that 77 percent of respondents believe the Indian judiciary is corrupt.

It also noted that 'bribes seem to be solicited as the price of getting things done.' An estimated $580 million was paid in bribes during a 12-month period, according to the report. 'Money was paid to the officials in the following proportions: 61 percent to lawyers; 29 percent to court officials; 5 percent to middlemen,' it said.

'This is a wake-up call not just for India's legal system, but for society and the state itself,' said Upendra Baxi, a highly regarded Indian jurist. 'It confirms what we have known for years and casts a shadow on the integrity of the judiciary. It also "

MOCKERRY OF FRIENDLY CITIZENS CHARTER!!!!!!

This is a classic example to prove that much trumpeted grievance handling system of the Govt. of India is just a FARCE.


"Whistleblowing"

Commerce Ministry’s fraud On Govt.Employees Covered Under CCS Pension Rules-1972

Export Inspection Council-a statutory body under Commerce Dept. which is also an “administrative ministry” implemented a special voluntary retirement scheme (SVRS)in 1994 fraudulently without involving the NODAL departments-in violation of Allocation of Business Rules & Transaction of Business Rules made by His Excellency The President of India under Article 77(3) of Indian Constitution.

Thus ILLEGAL SVRS-1994 has floated all rules/norms applicable under CCS Pension Rules of 1972 in gross violation of Articles 309, 313, 372 &144 of the Constitution.

This clandestine action is being covered by the following departments willfully for reasons best known to them:

1.Department of Personnel & Training.

2.Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare.

3.Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances.

4.Central Information Commission.

47. 10.10.2005 EIC finally replied with a letter Dt.21.05.1994 from Ministry of Commerce which admitted that this SVRS-1994 is not approved by the Govt. Of India. In spite of the Govt. refusal for SVRS-1994 The Commerce Ministry has arbitrarily/hurriedly/deliberately implemented the SVRS without involving nodal agency (DPT) in gross violation of Article 77(3) 309 of the Constitution. Hence this ambiguous SVRS-1994 circular Dt.21/5/1994 implemented by Commerce Ministry is ILLEGAL as it has violated the CCS Pension Rules of 1972 & the Articles 309,313,372 and 144 of the Constitution.
Though the scheme was claimed as VOLUNTARY, I was forced to submit the option Vide letter no: EIA: MS/Admn/gen/94-95/1134 dt.31.5.1994 even before clarifying the terms of the scheme on my first query Dt.30.05.1994.
SVRS-1994 circular dated 21st.May 1994 circulated by EIC deliberately omitted the facts contained in the ministry circular. Thus I have been deprived/kept in dark deliberately from opting Normal VRS under CCS pension rules.
I would not have opted this ILLEGAL SVRS-1994 had I received the original ministry’s circular (unedited by EIC).
So I am prepared to REPAY SOCALLED INCENTIVES received by me to ACCEPT THE NORMAL VRS Pension under CCS pension rules.

Sunday, December 03, 2006

This is the only SVRS directive issued by DOPT which is empowered to frame schemes/procedures for Govt.employees covered under CCS Pension Rules.Hence the 1994-SVRS fraudulantly implemented by EIC/Commerce Ministry is ILLEGAL & in Total violation of Constitutional Provisions. click the image to enlarge

WHY CASES ARE FAILING?

REASON:As the commerce ministry & EIC stealthly implemented the ILLEGAL SVRS most of the letigants still believe the scheme is approved by Govt. which is not a fact.Hense their prayers asking for additional benefits like weightage,Dearness relief on pension,interest on delayed payments are IRRELEVENT.
Unless untill the SVRS-1994 is challenged nothing will happen.
SO PLEASE WAKEUP & FILE REVISED PRAYERS TO DECLARE THE SCHEME ITSELF AS "NULL & VOID"

FINAL APPEAL FOR SETTLEMENT

From: M.Venkatesan, November23, 2006
16, Raja apartments, 15/5A-B.K.N Street, Ref-87
Westmambalam,
CHENNAI-600 033

Ministry of Commerce & Industry, GOI,

Sir,
Sub: Mockery of Grievance handling system.
Ref: 3/3/2006-Grievance Dt.20th.Sep2006


FINAL APPEAL FOR SETTLEMENT

Commerce Ministry's ambiguous letter referred in the Export Inspection Council letter No.VRS/121/2006/5668 Dt.15.11.2006 is the proof for illegal SVRS-1994, as point no.2 in page2 admits that the Govt. is not obliged to formulate or approve any such scheme.
This is confirmed by Department of Personnel & Training vide their letter No.134/2005-Estt (A) Dt.18th.Aug.2005.

In spite of the fact that Govt. has turned down your SVRS-1994 proposal Commerce Ministry/EIC deliberately deleted/manipulated this portion of circular to cheat the employees. (Suppression of facts).Thus without revealing the original letter signed by Mrs.Suma Subbanna to employees, through clandestine action of the Commerce Ministry/EIC officials this ILLEGAL SVRS-1994 was implemented arbitrarily in violation of articles309,313,372 &144 of Constitution.

This letter itself is a confession of Commerce Ministry's infringement of Allocation of Business Rules & Transaction of Business Rules (In ignoring the empowered nodal Depts. Personnel & Training/Dept. of Pensions in blatant violation of rule 29 of the CCS Pension rule 1972).

FINAL REQUEST: As a negotiated settlement I am prepared to return with interest all illegal benefits received by me to accept the normal VRS benefits permissible under CCS Pension Rules of 1972.

Please expedite.
Thanking you.
Sincerely yours,
Venkatesan.M

WPNo:16155/1997 M.VENKATESAN Ph:23700049

1. Application to be moved in HC for the REVISION OF PRAYER

2. Revised Prayer:
Normal retirement benefits to be awarded as applicable under CCS Pension rules of 1972 as I am prepared to refund all ILLEGAL AMOUNTS WITH INTEREST paid to me by the EIA.

Export Inspection Agency-a statutory body whose employees are governed by CCS Pension rules of 1972 has implemented illegally SVRS-1994 floating all rules/norms applicable under CCS Pension rules of 1972 in gross violation of articles 309,313,372 & 144 of the CONSTITUTION.

3. Counters filed by the EIA say that the scheme was floated by EIC & approved by Govt.

Violations given below:

· DOPT-Only nodal agency which is empowered to issue directives on surplus staff has not issued any circular pertaining to 1994-SVRS!!!!? Vide DPT No.134/2005-Estt.(A) Dt.18th.August 2005. NODAL DEPARRTENTS NOT INVOLVED
· Commerce Ministry is not empowered to Offer SVRS-1994. *
*
Allocation of Business Rules & the Transaction of Business Rules made by His Excellency The President of India under Article 77 (3) of Constitution of India-cited below:
1.“ Formation of policies” in relation to “pension and other Retirement benefits and other aspects of Personnel Administration” and the “Framing Rules” thereupon, under the “Proviso” to article 309 of the Constitution, are exclusively within the “domain” of the NODAL department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (especially in cases INVOLVING significant recurring financial implications, under the Department of Expenditure as well); and

2.the exercise of SUPERORDINATE powers in relation to INTERPRETATION/RELAXATION of “any” of the provisions of the aforementioned Rules, inter alia the CCS (commutation of pension) Rules, 1981 is per se exclusively “reserved” to the NODAL Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare and NONE in the “administrative” Ministries/Departments like the Department of Commerce.
· Under Right To Information Act-2005 I got the following ministry of commerce circular:No.3/8/91-EI &EP Dt.21/5/1994 which clearly states that Govt. has not approved this SVRS. However EIA has deliberately suppressed **this fact in its circular & forced /cheated the employees without giving other options (48,48A,FR56-K) as required under Rule 29 of CCS Pension rule of 1972.
**
The clandestine action of the Export Inspection Council( in consultation with Department of Commerce) on the 21st.May 1994 circular- a blemish of “ignoring or overlooking” (willfully) is in violation of Article 144 of Constitution.

Ref: AIR 1989 SC 1133
“EMPLOYEES should NOT be made to suffer ADVERSLY for the DEFAULT OR LAPSE on the part of Government, as it would be ARBITRARY, UNJUST AND UNREASONABLE”

· SVRS was thrust stealthily on me as the dept. has directed me first to apply for VRS before giving explanations about the scheme. I was forced to submit the option Vide letter no: EIA:MS/Admn/gen/94-95/1134 dt.31.5.1994 even before clarifying the terms of the scheme. Deprived my rights for seeking information.

WP No.16155/1997

OR PERMISSION TO WITHDRAW THIS SUIT & TO FILE A FRESH SUIT

My 11years continuous efforts for information from EIC finally succeeded with the introduction of Right to Information Act. I received a reply on 17th.Oct.2005.
The ambiguous SVRS-1994 is ILLEGAL as the Ministry of Commerce itself admits in the letter dt.21/5/1994 that the Govt does not approve the scheme. However the ministry implemented it arbitrarily in gross violation of CCS Pension Rules-1972 &
Articles 309,313,372 and 144 of the Constitution.
In the light of above latest evidences, the cause of action for this suit is entirely changed due to the latest information received by me from the ministry of commerce (EIC/D (Q/C) VRS/121/2005/5195 Dt.10.10.2005) under Right to Information Act-2005. So Hon’ble Court may permit me to withdraw this suit & to file a fresh suit to challenge the SVRS-1994 scheme itself and to get the entire legitimate benefits under the CCS Pension Rules-1972.

Congrats on joining the elite group of Directors/Senior Officials who are making a mockery of Citizens charter. EIC is under the administrative control of your commerce ministry which should have attached a reply of Dr.M.S.Rao or DOPT’s directives in support of its flagrant bluff dt.4.9.2006.
In the absence of any supporting documents from EIC my petition cannot be treated as closed.
Thanks for the excellent job of transmitting the copy of EIC letter.

URGENT & PRIORITY PLEASE

Dear Sir,
Ref: DARPG-80 dt.1st.Sep.2006
A reply received from the Export Inspection Council vide VRS/121/2006/3848 Dt.4.9.2006 is aimed at covering up their lapse & without an aorta of truth. Now the ball is in your court which has ample powers to verify & even to punish those found guilty as citizen’s charter points. It is up to you now to declare whether 1994-SVRS implemented by Commerce ministry is constitutionally valid or not & suggest appropriate remedial actions. I am asking for justice & my legitimate rights only.
Since the matter is serious, simultaneous actions will be initiated with media, parliament & judiciary on getting your final reply which is going to be a part of key evidence.
Please expedite & give your decision as soon as possible.

Thanking you.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Surrender of incentives received under illegal SVRS-1994.

After 12 years of effort I could get hold of a circular under Right To Information Act-2005.Original circular no: 3/8/91-EI & EP Dt. 21May1994 issued by the ministry was manipulated by the then Director of EIC to cheat the officers/staff. Govt. of India under the Allocation of Business Rules & Transaction of Business Rules has empowered The Department of Personnel &Training (as Nodal Dept) to frame the rules/regulations to be implemented by all other ministries.
Hence SVRS-1994 of EIC is illegal & in violation of articles 144,309,313 & 372 of Constitution of India.
I am prepared to repay the so called illegal incentives received by me to accept the normal VRS benefits under the CCS Pension Rules of 1972.

Hope this will receive your kind attention to end my ordeal & mental agony.
Thanking you.
Sincerely Yours,

Vital proof for the violation of Allocation of business rules & transaction of business rules.Click on the image to magnify.

Thursday, September 28, 2006


This message- a note sheet reply received from Dept. of Personnel & Training categorically deneying issue of any SVRS directives prior to 2002. click the image to magnify.

Wednesday, September 27, 2006

DOPT is the Nodal agencywhich is empowered to frame rules/regulations/schemes for central govt.employees under Allocation of Business Rules & Transaction of Business Rules.All other depts like Commerce ministry etc. have to implement the directives of DOPT
WP No.16155/1997-Gist for the argument:

· In his counter affidavit the learned Joint Director Shri.S.Talukdar has revealed the Real intentions of the EIC under para-7 for formulating magnificent SVRS-1994-Reason stated: REDUCED WORK LOAD (meaning SURPLUS STAFF)

· EIC-A Statutory body & Governed by CCS Pension Rules-Instead of approaching NODAL DEPTS with SURPLUS LIST of employees or Redeployment PROPASALS cheated the employees by designing the Impugned SVRS-1994 deliberately suppressing the motives (by not incorporating them in the circular dt.21st.May1994). Also hurriedly implemented the ILLEGAL scheme (in violation of Article 77(3) of the constitution of India).

· As per the Govt. of India Allocation of Business rules & transaction of Business rules (1961) under Article 309 0f Constitution ONLY NODAL agencies like Dept. of Personnel & Training and Dept. of Pension & Pensioners Welfare were EMPOWERED to give necessary directives on service matters of employees. Hence SVRS-1994 is Ultra Vires.

· Though the scheme was claimed as VOLUNTARY, I was forced to submit the option Vide letter no: EIA: MS/Admn/gen/94-95/1134 dt.31.5.1994 even before clarifying the terms of the scheme.

· Also we were indirectly forced by delayed payment of salaries for two months especially after the release of circular dt.21.5.1994.Coupled with the tactics of the then Acting Director Shri.S.Lakshmikanthan who made 3 visits from Delhi to motivate the employees in an open office meeting conducted on 22nd.June 1994.

· I would not have opted this ILLEGAL SVRS-1994 provided the decisions of the Govt. as pointed out in the counters have been properly incorporated in the SVRS-1994 circular dated 21st.May 1994. Thus I have been deprived/kept in dark deliberately from opting Normal VRS under CCS pension rules.

· So I am prepared to REPAY SOCALLED INCENTIVES received by me to ACCEPT THE NORMAL VRS Pension under CCS pension rules.

· I pray the Hon’ble Court to end my long mental agony by suitable directives and restore the Justice.

The clandestine action of the Export Inspection Council( in consultation with Department of Commerce) on the 21st.May 1994 circular- a blemish of “ignoring or overlooking” (willfully) is in violation of Article 144 of Constitution.

Ref: AIR 1989 SC 1133
“EMPLOYEES should NOT be made to suffer ADVERSLY for the DEFAULT OR LAPSE on the part of Government, as it would be ARBITRARY, UNJUST AND UNREASONABLE”

**
Allocation of Business Rules & the Transaction of Business Rules made by His Excellency The President of India under Article 77 (3) of Constitution of India-cited below:
1.“ Formation of policies” in relation to “pension and other Retirement benefits and other aspects of Personnel Administration” and the “Framing Rules” thereupon, under the “Proviso” to article 309 of the Constitution, are exclusively within the “domain” of the NODAL department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (especially in cases INVOLVING significant recurring financial implications, under the Department of Expenditure as well); and

2.the exercise of SUPERORDINATE powers in relation to INTERPRETATION/RELAXATION of “any” of the provisions of the aforementioned Rules, inter alia the CCS (commutation of pension) Rules, 1981 is per se exclusively “reserved” to the NODAL Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare and NONE in the “administrative” Ministries/Departments like the Department of Commerce.

THANKS TO RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT 2005 WHICH EXPOSED THE
BIGGEST FRAUD ON GOVT. EMPLOYEES IN BLATANT VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION BY COMMERCE MINISTRY OFFICIALS

Export Inspection Agency a statutory body under commerce ministry is governed by the CCS Pension Rules of 1972. After 12 years of effort I could get hold of a circular under Right To Information Act-2005.Original ambiguous circular no: 3/8/91-EI & EP Dt. 21May1994 issued by the ministry was manipulated by the then Director of EIC Shri.S.Lakshmikanthan to cheat the officers/staff. Govt. of India under the Allocation of Business Rules & Transaction of Business Rules has empowered The Department of Personnel &Training (as Nodal Dept) to frame the rules/regulations to be implemented by all other ministries. DOPT-Nodal dept. has replied in writing that it has not issued any other directives other than 2002-SVRS circular.
Hence SVRS-1994 implemented through clandestine actions of Commerce Ministry/ EIC is illegal & in violation of articles 144,309,313 & 372 of Constitution of India.
To get back our legitimate rights simultaneous actions are contemplated through Media, Parliament & Judiciary.
All employees who were in PENSION scheme but took the ILLEGAL SVRS in 1994 are requested to get in touch with me with the latest contact details immediately.
