How Governments SPY on Judges. - A method.

I have no evidence to say that any Government is employing any persons to spy on judges of High Court and Supreme Court Judges.


But Once it was in news that a sitting judge of Delhi High Court said that he was apprehending that CBI was taping his phone.


Then in about 2003, in one High Court, I met few so called "Law Officers".


They said that they were not assigned to report on any particular case. Their job was to sit in different courts and to listen to what judges were saying about government, while dealing with cases against Govt.


At 5.00 PM daily, their job was to brief Chief Secretary about "which judge said what about Government".


This looked scary.


It looked like "official spying" on judges of High Court to me.


To my mind, Judiciary is losing it's Independence slowly slowly.


It is only they, who can protect themselves. We can only pray for them.


They are the last strong pillar of our Democracy. They should be able to judge cases without fear of "being reported to Chief Executive of Government", at 5:00 PM daily....

Now people can file suits and/or writs in courts for removing fake voters from voter-lists-SC

27 Sept,2011, Supreme Court gave a land mark judgement which can trigger major election reforms in India.


Several review petitions were filed to obstruct implementation of this judgement.


20th July,2012, All reviews clarifications dismissed.


The judgement has now become final.


It is now OK for you to start Election Reform, and take legal actions for election reforms after consulting lawyers.


If you start now, you may see result after 5 years due to slow process of Judiciary

What is DECIDED in this judgement?

Do Courts have power to monitor Voters Lists and Lay down Qualifications of Voters in Govt. Aided Bodies, like associations, clubs, Chambers of Commerce, Municipalities, etc. etec. etc.?

What Supreme Court Said?

It said YES.

We the Courts in India have powers.


IF THE BODY IS ENJOYING GOVERNMENT GRANTS OR FACILITIES. These are STATE RESOURCES. WE CAN MONITOR AND SEE THAT THEY ARE UTILIZED FOR RIGHT VOTERS AND RIGHTLY ELECTED PERSONS. We can pass necessary orders for this purpose.


Now try to understand sweep of this judgement. Every Bar Associaltions (Lawyers bodies), Chambers of Commerce, Medical Practitioners Association, Chartered Accountant Association, Almost every election body which is given some govt facility ! It covers almost all elected bodies.

What was the REAL case before Supreme Court?

It was about Supreme Court Bar Association. There are hardly 1500 to 2000 regular advocates working in Supreme Court.


But each year, "Advocates of various other Districts were MADE MEMBERS IN BULK to WIN ELECTION" So total members went up 10,000 PLUS.

You can understand what must be happening during ELECTION.


The real 2000 lawyers actually working in Supreme Court had really NO say in ELECTION.

How this dispute is SIMILAR TO DISPUTES IN ALL ELECTION BODIES IN COUNTRY?

In my view, MOST ELECTIONS are Won, by manipulation VOTERS LISTS.


Those who have nothing to do with association or club are enrolled AS MEMBERS,

just for VOTING IN ELECTION purpose.


This is how unworthy candidates are ELECTED WITH MAJORITY OF ARTIFICIAL VOTES.

What did Supreme Court did?

It laid down law on

1) Who will be qualified to vote and who will not be qualified to vote.

2) How Voters List will be prepared and uploaded on Internet for TRANSPERANCY

3) How Disputes relating to voters will be decided.

How this Judgement will help ?

If you see in certain body, elections are manipulated.

Then first check if it is receiving any grants or govt facilities
.

If Yes, then study what are the irregularities and how they should be corrected.

Then, take advice of lawyer.

You have three options:

1) File a Suit under Sec.9 of CPC in nearest CIVIL COURT

2) File Petition in High Court

3) File Petition in Supreme Court only if above Two options are not likely to be effective

What Can you do next if you want to seek Election Reform in any Institution which may be enjoying some benefits from Govt aid?

1) Consult a lawyer and build your case, as per aforesaid judgement.

How a village woman can protect herself and enforce law?

A village woman is at mercy of locals. The locals have control over Sarpanch and Police.


There is no place where she can go.


But if she can write few words and if she can walk to a nearby Telegram Office, she has some powers to enforce law. She is no more at mercy of local police.


1) Telegrams are forgotten. But it has lots of power. I have tried this. I ask my clients to use this often. Telegram is Evidence and often forces higher authorities to start working.


2) The village woman must be given addresses of following 5 offices where she can send telegrams.


a) Address of Local Police Officer

B) Address of Superior, District Police Officer

C) Address of Chief Justice of High Court

D) Address of District Judge and Chief Judicial Magistrate

E) Address of State Woman Commission


If she has any complaint, she should send a telegram to any 3 of the above authorities. If urgent telegram is sent, it will be delivered in 24 hours. The protection may follow in about 3 days. During this period, she should be careful. After 3 days, she can become fearless. She can obtain a copy of telegram from telegram office also.


If there is no telegram office in village, or if there is some danger in sending telegram from village, she should travel to any nearby town and place telegram from nearby town. This may be safer because in village no one will know until action is taken by offices.


A telegram is more powerful than a revolver.
