Application 657 of 2011

Application 580 of 2011
In the matter of;
Embezzlement of
funds by DP Ojha, Official Liquidator, Punjab & Haryana High Court.
Application
u/r 9 of company Court Rules 1959 to
point out Orders of Hon’ble the chief Justice.
Respectfully
Showeth;
1. That matter pertains to Embezzlement of
funds by D P Ojha Official Liquidator, high Court. It is information given to
Hon’ble High Court on administrative side, which is based on documents received
under RTI. This matter was earlier dealt with on Administrative side by senior
company Judge, who then ordered that this matter to be listed on judicial
side. Error in listing occurred as
Computer could not read the name of Judge who passed earlier Order. I am (as
everyone else) is in dark as to why an administrative matter is listed on
Judicial side which is only known to the Hon’ble Judge who passed the said
Order. The matter was brought to the notice of Registrar (Judicial) to rectify
computer error and matter was thereafter placed before Hon’ble chief Justice
who was pleased to pass the following Order;-
“If any change is required, matter may be mentioned
before the Judge
Sd/ Chief Justice”
Hence the present
application, for listing the matter before appropriate Bench.
2. The instant matter pertains to embezzlement
of funds worth more than Rs 1.00 Crores from properties vested in High Court
u/s 456(2) of Companies Act. On 21.10.11, SH D P Ojha falsely stated in court,
that my information is because on 3.2.11 he declined to examine my fee Bill sanctioned
by H S Bawa ex-official
Liquidator. Company petition and appeal filed by D P Ojha have already been
dismissed. First information against illegal payment to Industrial security
being made by D P Ojha against the nonexistent persons was by my letter Dt
20-11-2010 three months before his order of 3.2.2011 followed by letter Dt
7-1-2011 again one month before 3-2-2011. His order is being contrary to Orders
of the then Chief Justice are also malafide as I had informed his administrative
head that D P ojha is making payment on for nonexistent persons.
3. Justice Justice Surya Kant had inter alia
stated on 21.10.2011 that He knows everything about me. Let it be clarified
that no one knows anything about me except what I have told him/her. Rest is
all hearsay. I do not advertise the truth. To quote Winston Churchill ; “A lie
gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants
on.” I am a victim of corruption, nepotism and favoritism. Like any other
honest person I dislike these things. I can rebut each and everything which
Justice Surya Kant may have heard about me that puts me in any negative light.
(which will require mutual discussion – not while sitting on constitutional
chair discussing matters not judicially before court). No one in the bar or
staff knew about my letter Dt 4.6.2011. It is not possible to argue any case if
there is mutual distrust. In view of
incident of 21.10.2011, and to avoid repetition of the same, it is also appropriate
that matter be listed before another Bench.
It is therefore
prayed that matter be ordered to be listed before appropriate bench. This
mention is being made as per the order of Hon’ble the chief Justice dated
17.11.2011. Original Order is already on record of this case.

Sub; Embezzlement of funds of about Rs 1.00 Crores
from properties vested in High Court u/s 456(2) of companies Act 1956.
Dear Sir,
With intent to
cause loss to secured creditors and with intent to gain undue financial
advantage to themselves, Sh D P Ojha, Sh J S Kahaan, MD Guardian Security &
Industrial security and fire services Bombay P Ltd and Sh M L Sharma MCA lobbyist, and Sh B K L
Srivasatava ex Official Liquidator have entered into a criminal conspiracy to
cheat and commit fraud with public money / public funds by raising a false and
fraudulent claim in the matter of security guards bill raised by Industrial
security fire services Bombay Ltd. The relevant details are as under;-
A. Security
agency has not made any payment to security guards;
1. That in affidavit Dt 11.8.2010 filed with
Official Liquidator by Industrial security and fire services (Bombay) pvt Ltd,
in PNFC, it is stated that they have made entire payment from September 2005 to
May 2009 (approx Rs 80,00,000/-) to their security guards. In addition they
have ‘paid’ several more lacs in the cases of Arihant Cotsyn, hallmark
healthcare, Mangla Cotex, Organic Chemoils, AVI shoes, la Medica, Punwire, Indo
gem Laminations, Curefast remedies, Shiv Durga Alloys, etc. apart from several
other companies vested in other high courts where it is empanelled. Their share
capital is only Rs 50,000/-. They don’t have the wherewithal to pay Crores let
alone Rs 80,00,000/- in PNFC to security guards. Their bank accounts do not
show any such receipt of crores during 9/05 to 12/09. Such payment is also not
reflected in their books of accounts. There is no question of their making any
payment to security guards. At the time of inspection by PSIDC if at all
permitted by OL, they have advance information from OL and their henchman
collects daily wagers from labor chowk for a day to make up the numbers. During
surprise inspection, staff found is 95% less vis a vis as claimed by Industrial
Security. Copy of surprise inspection report got done by PSIDC is enclosed. As
per this report there were only 5 employees as against 143 being claimed in the
case of PNFC. Thus admittedly and as per evidence Industrial security is
embezzling funds to the tune of 95% of claimed amount i. e (Rs 95 Lacs in case
of one company alone) of their false and fraudulent claim. They
do not have cash in hand to incur the expenses being claimed from high courts.
B Blank Bank
account submitted
2a. False a/cs have been opened in Goa in name
of employyes alleged to be based in Punjab. It is to facilitate theft of funds.
Vide order Dt 7/8/2009 passed in CA 1-2/2009 in CP 254 of 1999, it was ordered
that security agencies hence forth shall deposit salary of security guards in
their bank accounts. However vide affidavit Dt 11.8.2010 by Industrial
security, it has stated on oath that no salary has been paid to security guards
through bank accounts after august 2009. This amounts to refusal to accept the
order of High Court. Bank accounts are blank. The name of security guards on spot do not tally with names given in
bank accounts.
2b last Lump sum payment deposited by them on
receipt of Rs 11,00,000 were withdrawn back by them on the basis of advance
cheques they had collected from guards. Copy of their bank statements are on
record. They have obviously filed false affidavits to derive undue gain to
themselves and cause undue loss to secured creditors. OL should ask security agency
to refund entire amount received by them till date along with up to date
interest. Copy of their indemnity bond is on record.
C. Security
agencies working on annual return of 1% ex-facie False.
3. That in the matter of PNFC, the security
agency is claiming payment since 2005. Industrial Security and fire services
(Bombay) has submitted blank statement of bank a/c of employees which indicate
that no payment has been made to employees through bank accounts. The
contention of security agency that it is taking only 1% pa return(7% over 7
year period means 1% annual return) is impossible as banks give assured return
of approx 8% pa. With intent to gain advantage to themselves and cause loss to
public exchequer, Security agency has refused to accept conditions laid down by
the Court in its order Dt 7.8 2009 and violated them with impunity.
D. Commission
based allocation of work;
4. That according to J S Kahaan, Managing
Director of Guardian Industrial and Investigation security services, work for
the appointment of security agency work is not allocated seriatim by High Court
but telephonic bids are invited by Official Liquidator and only that security
agency is appointed which offers highest commission to OL. Normal rate of commission varies from 40-60%
depending on number of guards and period for which they will continue, which is
paid at the time of release of money. Hence in a case of criminal conspiracy
and intent to gain financial advantage to themselves no attempt has been made
to sell assets for last more than a decade even though taking out advertisement
of sale would take only ten minutes.
E. Theft of
assets;
5. It is an admitted fact that no inventory
was prepared either by BKL Srivasatava or by present OL or by security agency
and none was allowed to be prepared by secured creditors or industrial security
agency/ Guardian Industrial Investigation and security services Pvt Ltd.
Inventory is generally not prepared
to facilitate theft by security agencies. I cannot disclose information which
had come to my possession when I was counsel for Guardian Industrial
Investigation and security services Pvt Ltd. as to clandestine sale of assets
by Industrial security & fire services Pvt Ltd.
F. Premises
given on rent by security agency.
6. When asked as to how security agency
manages to pay even 5% of the staff which it claims to have employed by them,
Sh J S Kahaan informed that in most of the cases, premises are given out on
rent without informing the High Court and salaries etc are paid from said
receipts out of unauthorized rental use of premises.
For information
and necessary action.

how to reduce cost of litigation.
To, January 21st
2013
Honorable Chief Justice of India,
Supreme Court of India, New Delhi.
Minister of law and Justice, Govt of India,
4th floor, Shastri Bhawan, new Delhi.
Honorable
the Chief Justice,
Punjab
& Haryana High Court, Chandigarh.
SUB; Improving
fiscal health of Judiciary for better infrastructure.
Sir,
1. It is a general perception in public that
litigation is very expensive and out of reach of common man. When people talk
of high Cost of litigation, they do not talk about Rs 500/- or Rs 1000/- on
court fees. They talk of cost of “face Value”. The public perception is that
Judges decide cases on the basis of “Face Value” i.e. in favor of those
advocates who have either links, connections, kith and kin of judges or
designated senior advocates. In last 20 years, “Face Value” has come to be
accepted criteria of decision. Value of 'Facts' and ‘Acts’ have been lost
somewhere along the way. If one wants case to be decided in his favor then one
to engage ‘senior’ advocate or ‘Kith and Kin’ and thus cost of litigation
shoots up.
2. Cost of litigation can be reduced to some
extent by enhancing the cost of “face value”. Several advocates make
applications and beseech their known and friendly judges to designate them as
‘Senior Advocates’. Why? If they are already senior in their own fields they do
not need such a designation. The designation is required to give them “face
Value” and thus enhance their personal fees. Clients hire Sr. Advocates for
their “face value” and such clients would not mind paying part of such “face
value” to H’ High Court by way of special court fee for engaging ‘senior’
advocates. The fee can be given any name, like infrastructure court fee or
special court fee etc. It may vary from Rs 50,000/- to Rs 1,00,000/- wherever
designated senior advocates appear. DRTs are already charging Rs 1,00,000/- as
court fee with no complaints.
3. This special court fee for ‘senior’
advocates will not affect 99% of the advocates nor rich clients. The additional
fee so collected can be useful for improving infrastructure. However many
clients will start engaging other 99% of advocates thereby reducing cost of
litigation for general public.
4. The next type of advocates having “face
value” are ‘Kith and Kin’ of Judges. All cases wherever Kith and Kin are
engaged be listed before Hon’ble the Chief Justice or outstation Judges. If
such an executive order is issued, “face Value” of kith and kin will evaporate
sooner than expected, roster will be normal within one month and cost of
litigation will come down drastically.
5. During British times there was no
designation as Sr. Advocates. It is now a scandal. There should be relaxations
in norms for kith and kin like those for SC/BC. Kith and kin be designated as
Senior Advocates the moment they get a license to practice/ (or at time they are born) or the moment their
relatives is employed as a Judge. (Pun intended).
Suggestions to improve
fiscal health / infrastructure:-
A. There should be court fee wherever senior
advocates are engaged for both respondent and petitioner.
B. Cases wherever “Kith and Kin” are engaged
be listed only before Hon’ble the Chief Justice or outstation Judges.
C. Criteria for designation as Senior
advocates be relaxed for kith and kin of Judges like relaxation given to
backward people. Kith and Kin of Judges be automatically designated as ‘Senior’
the moment they become lawyers / their relatives becomes judge.
D. Remove such designations from statute
books. All lawyers are equal before law.

because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the
challenge exists to make things better. King Whitney Jr.

Why FDI in retail will lead to unemployment and inflation in India ?
What is FDI in retail?
FDI
(Foreign Direct Investment) in retail means that foreigners will invest their
money in India;-
a) In buying property – thereby increasing
prices, leading to inflation.
b) Creating infrastructure i.e. building
modern technology Malls – which technology is not new already available in
India.
c) Sell foreign made goods in India thereby
taking away Indian money to foreign lands by way of profits.
Why FDI leads to unemployment?;
1. Because of lower needs
of employees.
A
local retailer in a shop of 8’ *10’ has 1-2 proprietors having 3-4 salesmen plus
4-5 support salesmen for packaging and delivery. Thus a space of 80-100 square
feet gives employment to at least 10 persons or one person per 10 sq feet.
Whereas
a Mall has one counter of minimum 12‘ * 15’ has only one salesman the entire
mall has an average size of 197,000 square feet.
Number of employees are 20,00,000 in total of 4723
stores. That means 423 employees per store having an average area of 197,000
square feet or one person per 465 square feet. Indian retailers in same area
employ 46-47 persons.
So unemployment has increased by whopping by almost 50
times or 47 employees per 500 square feet or in other words FDI reduces
employment by
47 employees per 500 square feet.
2. Because of lower Indian
made goods sold in India.
Today 100% products manufactured in India are
sold in Indian markets. Under FDI they will buy only 30% of their needs from
India meaning Indian factories will have to produce at only 30% levels making
them unviable. Indian factories will be forced to close and factories will open
in China making Indians unemployed and Chinese more employed. 20 crores of
Indian homes will go in darkness.
Why FDI leads to inflation?;
Automatic
increase in prices of Gas, petrol and diesel;
Previously India was importing
gold and petrol and thus price of dollar was hovering about Rs 50. Now with FDI
in retail all retail items are being imported from USA and being bought in dollars.
Thus dollar rates have gone up from 50 to Rs 60+ and even Rs 70 initially. This
has led to increase in petrol, gas, diesel which in turn leads to increase in
cost of all items due to increase in transportation costs.
Increase
in inland and transportation costs;
Previously
all goods were locally transported. Now most goods have to travel all the way
from USA to India and this is additional costs incurred for bring goods inland
to Indian ports and then to local retail malls.
Increase of cost of goods
because of increased cost of salary and materials which is paid to foreign
workers in dollars;
Now
goods are first handled by Americans in USA who are paid in dollars where
minimum wages are $9 per hour or $ 4500 per moth or Rs 3,00,000 per person. All
this salary is paid in USA to USA employees but borne by Indians buying foreign
goods in India and added to cost of goods sold in India. This leads to multiplier
effect whereby even Indian goods inch up higher to match price of foreign goods
leading higher prices / inflation.
Increased input cost;
All
foreign goods are manufactured in China which then transports to USA and than
businessman in USA exports to India or some goods are made in USA or other
countries. All there cost is incurred in Dollars which was Rs 50 per dollar so
all goods are priced much higher because of implicit cost (incurred in Dollars
whether of materials, labour, land or other inputs). This leads to cascading effect
whereby even Indian goods inch up higher to match price of foreign goods
leading higher prices / inflation.
Myths busted;
Direct Purchasing from
farmers at higher prices
Direct sales to Consumers
at cheaper rates.
There
is practically no direct purchasing from farmers. Foreigners are not coming to
India to enrich Indian farmers or Indian public but to enrich USA and
themselves at cost of Indian public. Farmer of Punjab know it by 1st
hand experience that Pepsi promised to buy Potato and tomato from them for
manufacture of potato chips and tomato sauce but after getting clearance they
said size of Indian potato is small and taste of Indian tomato is too khatta
hence they imported all their needs from abroad. Same is with MacDonald’s who
are buying shiploads of vegetables from abroad giving impetus to farmers of USA
and UK. One may compare prices of vegetables in Malls and their prices in
traditional shops which are 20-30% cheaper.
More jobs:
Congress
is calculating number of jobs on the basis of people to be employed in Foreign
Malls they are not considering reduction of jibs due to malls which is 50 times
more. For every one person employed in a mall about 50 will loose jobs leading
to millions of homes going in darkness in India.
More income by more taxes;
Because
of higher price there is higher sales tax, central tax, Octroi and also in some cases there is custom duty
and import duty. All these taxes and duties will be added in prices. Who will
pay it- The Indian consumer by its hard earned money.
