Who owns Mumbai ? People of Uttarbharat, or Only Marathi or People of India ?

A battle of words and allegations from Marathi leaders and Uttar Bharatiya Leaders of Mumbai have moved the whole Metropolitan city of Mumbai in a grave apprehension since last two weeks. Recently a Marathi Newspaper has outright stated that "Mumbai is of Marathi and only of Marathi people...and Uttarbharatiya people were never invited..." A vital question of facts and laws in accordance with the provisions of our secular democratic constitution, any discrimination in the name of state or language are unlawful.So a battle in the name of the peoples and in the name of states and ownership of a big city of our nation is also apparently unwanted in the eyes of laws, because Mumbai is not of Uttarbharatiya people, nor of only Marathi but it is only of India and of Indian People..Is there any control with our Judiciary over such the provoking controversy. ???

If the witnesses dare not to say before the court, then the truth may never come out" Judicial Verdict in 2G Scam Bail Order

CBI Judge Mr. Saini stated in a recent order rejecting the bail petition in controversial 2G Scam that " If the witnesses do not dare to say before the court, then the Tripod will be broken and the truth may never come out." Contrary to expectation, 2G telecom scam accused DMK MP Kanimozhi and seven others were denied bail on Thursday with the trial court holding that CBI's no objection to their pleas was of "no consequence" given the grave nature of the offence. Even though CBI had no objection to the plea of Bail, the court has taken a serious approach in such a controversial economic racket, involving some white colored leaders, by rejecting the bail petition.

A Battle of Dismrimination on the Basis Caste among Madras High Court Judges ?!! Justices' cries for Justice ?!!

Justice C S Karnan of the Madras high court, who alleged humiliation by fellow judges on November 2 (first reported in TOI), on Thursday said in a press conference that other dalit judges, too, are targeted and their reputation tarnished whenever they assert their self-respect. He added that "more than four or five high court judges" have humiliated him on the basis of his caste and that the National Commission for Scheduled Castes may look into his complaint."Some judges are very narrow-minded; they seek to dominate dalit judges," Karnan said.He said he did not rake up the issue all these months as he wanted to safeguard the dignity of the institution. "I was forced to approach the national forum for SCs only after the atrocities crossed tolerable limits," he said, adding that several other dalit judges in the subordinate judiciary too face similar ordeal. "It's a black mark on Indian judiciary," he said. Justice Karnan claimed that after the National Commission for Scheduled Castes forwarded a copy of his complaint against fellow judges to the Chief Justice of India, he has permitted the panel chairman to hold an inquiry into his allegations. Asked why he rushed to the forum instead of taking it up with the chief justice of the Madras high court, Karnan said: "The National Commission for SCs is the watchdog for all dalits, including dalit judges, in the country. It is the competent and appropriate body to safeguard the interests of dalits." Justice Karnan reiterated that a judge deliberately rubbed his shoes against him and then trampled a card carrying his (Justice Karnan) name at a function, and said he would reveal the identity of the judge at the time of inquiry. "The judge, sitting cross-legged next to me, touched me with his shoes deliberately and then said sorry. Two other judges were watching it smiling," he said. Justice Karnan claimed that he was discriminated against on basis of caste at several get-togethers such as full court meeting, high tea and dinner. "It's a chain of occurrences, and not once or twice," he said.On rumors about his transfer, Justice Karnan asked what was the need to do so. "I have given the highest disposal, and all my decisions have been upheld by the higher judicial forum". (Times of India)

"Cops were punished for controlling riots"- Judicail Cognizance may be taken on affirmation of Ex-DGP of Gujarat in interest of justice ?!!

A Recent Report of Time of India has brought in light about a solemn affirmation of Retired IPS officer and former state intelligence bureau (IB) chief, R B Sreekumar who has said having requested the Godhra probe panel to seek details on how efficient cops managed to control riots in 2002 in most part of Gujarat. He has also told the commission that state government has "with ulterior motive underplayed or belittled the praiseworthy and model performance of law enforcers" who controlled riots in their respective jurisdictions. it is also reported by this daily news paper that Sreekumar has till date filed eight affidavits before the commission exposing the State's complicity in the 2002 riots. He was denied promotion by the Narendra Modi government, but he fought a long legal battle and got promotion on Gujarat high court order after he retiredSreekumar, who has reportedly dashed off a letter to the Nanavati-Mehta commission and the Supreme Court-mandated special investigation team, has highlighted that state government's claims that the 2002 riots were "spontaneous" and violence took place due to "failure of system" were completely misleading. Sreekumar has also allegedly told the commission to seek details from senior police officers like V K Gupta, Manoj Shashidhar, Satish Verma, Narasimha Komar, Vivek Srivastava, Rahul Sharma, M D Antani, Upendra Singh and Keshav Kumar on how they managed to control violence in their areas. "The information on the operational strategy, tactics, ground-level methodology, techniques of leadership and motivation and administrative measures, adopted by these officers during the time of protracted 2002 anti-minority blood bath in Gujarat will be of great relevance to the terms of reference of the Commission," the letter stated. Analyzing the incidents of violence, Sreekumar has stated that the authorities deliberately acted against the minority community, which resulted in massive violence in areas like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Panchmahals and north Gujarat.He said that there was either no violence or negligible damage in 16 districts and two commissionerates. But the government has never given due credit to its police officers for effectively containing riots. Instead, those cops have received "shabby treatment from the state government including punishment postings and departmental actions in the post-riot period." His affidavit filed last year contained names of such officials. Looking to the aforesaid news report recently released in public about the said eight solemn affirmations of a retired cop Sreekumar against Modi's Gujarat Govenrment, it becomes now highly necessary for the competent law authorities to take cognizance of such affirmed allegations with a view to digging out the truth from the allegations of a cop in the large interest of justice. Simultaneously it is also very important to justify the actions of Modi's Gujarat Governments, if such the open allegations are false and without any lawful substances. The prime things are that the public at large are not interested to see such the battle of provoking words and virtual swords, but to have a true judicious verdict protecting the public peace and tranquility at large in Gujarat, since a decade.
