Do you know that all retired Judges of High Courts and Supreme Courts have great strength to help public casues and they can respond to your letters?
After retirement, they have no judicial powers to help you. But their strength lay in fact that they can be knowing lots of people who can help you and can advance your csuse.
If they receive a letter seeking their help, their reactions may be something like these:
1) First, they may frown. They are living retired and peaceful life. People are not supposed to bother them.
2) A minute later, second reaction will come. If letter will look nicely typed and brief, if it is short, they may curiously look into it and may read it.
3) If writer of letter is not clear about what help he wants, if he is abusive and arrogant, if letter contains offensive and rude words, he will drop the letter in wasteaper basket and will forget.
4) But if letter is clear, humble and if the cause invokes his sympathy, he will think further, "What can I do about it? Do I know anyone who can help this man? If I forward this letter to someone whom I know, will he be able to help this man? "
5) If he finds from his memory someone who can help this man, he will forward this letter to that person.
6) Within a month, something good will happen.
I have tested this method many many many times. The key is to write a short letter which the judge can forward to concerned officer and the letter should contain no word that can hurt even the person to whom letter is forwarded. Do not give long details. They are not bound to go into details of your case. Just state outline of your problem and nature of help you want.
And most important. Be not discouraged if you receive no replies and no acknowledgements. Write only ordinary posts. Do not send couriers or registered post. This will annoy them unnecessarily.
