S.O.S E - Voice for Justice - E-News Weekly Spreading the Light of Humanity & Freedom S.O.S e - Voice For Justice - e-news weekly Spreading the light of humanity & freedom Editor: Nagaraja.M.R.. Vol.12..Issue.14........09/04/2016 When a Judge Himself Commits Crime , When a POLICE Himself robs , Murders …. The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts , for others to emulate & follow. if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by the teacher. if the teacher himself makes a mistake , all his students will do the same mistake. if a thief steals , he can be caught , legally punished & reformed . if a police himself commits crime , many thieves go scot-free under his patronage. even if a police , public servant commits a crime , he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by the aggrieved. just think , if a judge himself, that too of apex court of the land himself commits crime - violations of RTI Act , constitutional rights & human rights of public and obstructs the public from performing their constitutional fundamental duties , what happens ? it gives a booster dose to the rich & mighty , those in power , criminals in public service to commit more crimes. Chief Justice of India , Supreme Court of India is the last savior for public who are suffering injustices at the hands of powers that be , whose fundamental rights & human rights are violated. But inspite of repeated appeal for justice CJI & SUPREME COURT OF INDIA turned their blind eye , became deaf , mute spectator. CJI , SCI let down the suffering masses. CJI & SCI are hand in league with criminals and are operating cunningly without leaving a trace of evidence. So they cann’t be legally prosecuted. Due to intentional negligence , failure of duties , TACIT SUPPORT by CJI & SCI judges many criminals have escaped , sample of which : 1. Master minds of Late PM Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case. 2. God fathers of Forest brigand Veerappan. 3. Huge robbery took place within RBI. 4. Many Police who are themselves Criminals in Khaki , are not prosecuted for the murders , torture they committed , for the bribes they received. BUT ARE POLICING , PROSECUTING OTHERS. 5. Many Judges who are themselves CRIMINALS are not legally prosecuted for the crimes they committed. BUT ARE JUDGING OTHERS. 6. Big Industrialists of Reliance Industries , RPG Enterprises , others have committed huge crimes involving crores of rupees and still continuing crimes. 7. Top executives of MNC Union Carbide & DOW Chemicals escaped from law after committing man slaughter. 8. Land grabbing worth Billions of rupees took place with TACIT SUPPORT of Judges , Police. 9. Loot of natural resources worth Billions of rupees took place with TACIT SUPPORT of Judges , Police. 10. The crusader , human rights activist , web journalist who raised his voice seeking justice was assaulted , facing life threat , his livelihood destroyed , his news paper closed down , accreditation to journalist & his web news paper denied , he is followed , monitored by criminals that be. The persecutors are not yet prosecuted. 11. What action has been taken by police , state governments concerned and apex court with respect to the murders of whistle blowers , RTI Activists and journalist ? casewise. 12. If not why ? 13. Protection of common people , public is a state subject & police must do their duty to protect citizens. Nowadays Police few police themselves are becoming a threat by working in league with the criminals. What action taken by apex court against duty failing police in the cases mentioned below. Casewise. ? 14. When every organ of the government fails to safeguard constitutional , fundamental rights of a citizen , It becomes the sworn duty of SUPREME COURT OF INDIA to step in and protect the citizens & their fundamental rights , human rights. However when the supreme court judges themselves fail in their duties , what action is taken against such duty failing judges , casewise ? The duty failure of the SCI judges indirectly aids criminals to do more crimes and act of failure , negligence by judges thereby amounts to COLLUSION with CRIMINALS. 15. What action has been taken by supreme court of india based on the Public Interest Litigations filed by our publication ? PILs can be referred at : https://sites.google.com/site/sosevoiceforjustice/no-jail-for-guilty-judges-police 16. If not taken any action by SCI judges , why ? 17 . When a commonman goes to police station either as a complainant or witness or defendant / accused police question him , enquire his antecedents to know whether the person in question is leading a honest life. In the same way before court during case proceedings , lawyers , judge question the person in same way to ascertain his antecedents. In turn why cann’t the same person is not allowed to question the police , investigating officials , lawyers & judge to ascertain their antecedents , to make sure no match fixing is done ? Police Complaint against Honourable Chief Justice of India ( CJI ) , SCI , New Delhi To, H.E. Honourable President of India , Rashtrapathi Bhawan , New Delhi. Honourable Sir , Subject : Police Complaint against Honourable Chief Justice of India I have sent numerous appeals to CJI , SCI through post , e mail , web since 1993 regarding crimes , specific crime cases , no action by CJI or SCI. In some criminal cases which has been brought to their earlier notice , CJI & SCI could have prevented it , prevented the crimes from happening , but they didn’t. They let the crime happen & let it continue till date. They might have received something in return for favoring the criminals. Let the almighty give dog’s death to such former CJIs and their family members who thrive like PARASITES on BRIBEs & Public Money without properly doing public duties. CJI is not answering our RTI questions properly nor admitting , acting on our PILs. He is not even replying to our show cause notices. Thereby CJI is aiding criminals , anti nationals , terrorists and underworld mafia. Hereby , I do appeal to you take action against the erring CJI and accord legal sanction to criminally prosecute chief justice of india and to transfer the complaint to respective jurisdiction police for investigation & legal prosecution. Thank You. Date : 16.03.2016……………………………………………………………………………… Your’s Sincerely, Place : Mysuru………………………………………………………………………………………Nagaraja.M.R. SHOW CAUSE NOTICE TO CJI We the sufferers of Injustices , suffering public WISH DOG’S DEATH TO CORRUPT JUDGES , CORRUPT POLICE & THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO THRIVE ON BRIBES. In the court of Almighty , God there is no match fixing , we pray to that almighty to give dog’s death , death , suffering due to accident , kidney problem , heart problem , etc to corrupt judges , corrupt police & their family members who shamelessly thrive on bribes , looted public money. They must not have sudden death , they must suffer for months before death. Then alone they will realize the pain of the public. We whole heartedly salute honest few , honest judges , honest police & honest public servants who are tirelessly upholding rule of law inspite of many obstacles , threat to themselves. We pray to almighty to give strength , health , wealth , longevity to such honest persons. I have sent numerous appeals to CJI , SCI through post , e mail , web since 1993 regarding crimes , specific crime cases , no action by CJI or SCI. In some criminal cases which has been brought to their earlier notice , CJI & SCI could have prevented it , prevented the crimes from happening , but they didn’t. They let the crime happen & let it continue till date. They might have received something in return for favoring the criminals. Let the almighty give dog’s death to such former CJIs and their family members who thrive like PARASITES on BRIBEs & Public Money without properly doing public duties. One of the favors enjoyed by Judges for favoring criminal nexus of ruling politicians , tacitly aiding the crimes of ruling government is the discretionary allotment of sites to judges by the government. I don’t know whether secretariat staff of CJI office & DARPG / DPG officials are forwarding my appeals for justice , e-mails to you or not. They will be held accountable for their lapses if any. This notice is against the repeated failure of constitutional duties & indirect collusion with criminals by previous CHIEF JUSTICEs OF INDIA. Notice is served against them , to the office of CJI , NOT personally against you. At the individual level I do whole heartedly respect Honourable Justice Shri T S Thakur . Please refer two my appeals for justice through DARPG ; DLGLA/E/2013/00292 DEPOJ/E/2013/00679 In india democracy is a farce , freedom a mirage. the most basic freedom RIGHT TO INFORMATION & EXPRESSION , is not honoured by the government,as the information opens up the crimes of V.V.I.Ps & leads to their ill-gotten wealth. The public servants are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them. these type of fat cats , parasites are a drain on the public exchequer . these people want ,wish me to see dead , wish to see HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH closed . so that, a voice against injustices is silenced forever , the crimes of V.V.I.Ps closed , buried forever. To my numerous appeals , HRW’s appeals to you ,you have not yet replied. It clearly shows that you are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them .it proves that you are hell bent to protect the criminals at any cost. you are just pressurising the police to enquire me ,to take my statement, to repeatedly call me to police station all with a view to silence me.all of you enjoy “legal immunity privileges” ,why don’t you have given powers to the police / investigating officer to summon all of you for enquiry ?or else why don’t all of you are not appearing before the police voluntarily for enquiry ?at the least why don’t all of you are not sending your statement about the case to the police either through legal counsel or through post? you are aiding criminals ,by denying me job oppurtunities in R.B.I CURRENCY NOTE PRESS mysore , city civil court ,bangalore , distict court , mysore ,etc & by illegally closing my newspaper.

    Research Paper IJMSRR Impact Factor: 3.029 E- ISSN - 2349-6746 Peer Reviewed & Indexed Journal ISSN -2349-6738 WHISTLEBLOWING: A STEP TO STRENGTHEN THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Dr. Santanu Kumar Das Assistant Professor, P.G. Department of Business Administration, Kalam Institute of Technology, Berhampur, Odisha. Abstract A whistle- blower is a person who raises a concern about wrongdoing occurring in an organisation or body of people. Usually this person would be from the same organisation. The revealed misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations,and corruption. Whistle- blowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organisation) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to the groups-concerned with the issues). Whistle blowing has emerged on the forefront of corporate governance. It refers to blowing the lid off the rampant malpractices prevailing in today’s times. This paper examines why a need was felt for whistle blowing in India, relevant legal provisions and certain Indian cases (like Indian Oil Corporation, National Highway Authority of India, Ranbaxy, National Rural Employee Guarantee Act, Infosys et cetera) that dramatically led to a paradigm shift in the arena of whistle blowing. Recommendations in Indian context to encourage future whistle blowers are also provided. In the face of the dynamicity of business conditions, whistle blowing policies backed by the top echelons of management and government will usher in an era of true corporate governance.

Sir Harold Evans, a British-American editor whose 70-year career as a hard-driving investigative journalist, magazine founder, book publisher and author made him one of the most influential media figures of his generation. A former editor of Britain's Sunday Times and, at his death, Reuters editor- at-large, Evans put a unique stamp on investigative journalism. Championing causes either overlooked or denied, he and his team uncovered human rights abuses and political scandals, and advocated for clean air policies. One of his most famous investigations exposed the plight of hundreds of British thalidomide children who had never r e c e i v e d a n y compensation for their birth defects. Evans organized a campaign to take on the companies responsible for manufacturing the drug, an effort that eventually won compensation for the families after more than a decade.

Separatist insurgents and terrorists committed numerous serious abuses. Security forces reported to civilian authorities; unlike in previous years, there were no reported instances of security forces acting independently of government authority. Major human rights problems included reported extrajudicial killings of persons in custody, killings of protesters, and torture and Separatist insurgents and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, the Northeastern States, and the Naxalite belt committed numerous serious abuses, including killing armed forces personnel, police, government officials, and civilians.
