🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨

Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge.

Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement.

If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest.

That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge.

Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter.

In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately.

Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of.

Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country.

A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma.

And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing.

I am withholding the name of the son for now.

The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals.

I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary.

Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?

What does the #Pahalgam massacre of tourists in #Kashmir remind me of?
A little over 25 years ago, on the evening of 20 March 2000, when US President Bill Clinton had just arrived in New Delhi for a 5 day visit to the region, about 15 armed men dressed in army fatigues entered Chhatisinghpora village in Kashmir’s Anantnag district, gathered its male Sikh residents, and shot dead 38 of them.

While the Atal Behari Vajpayee government (L.K. Advani was HM) blamed Hijbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba for the carnage, there was no incontrovertible evidence.

Five days later, on 25 March 2000, Col. Ajay Saxena, Commanding Officer 7 Rashtriya Rifles (Retired as Brigadier), Lt. Col. Brajendra Pratap Singh 2IC 7 RR (Retired as Col), Lt. Saurabh Sharma of Military Intelligence 7RR (Retired as Major), Lt. Amit Saxena Adjutant 7 RR (later Major) and Nb. Sub. Idrees Khan (later Subedar) of the Indian Army killed five men in Pathribal village of Anantnag district, claiming that the victims were the "foreign militants" responsible for the attacks. Official reports claimed that security forces had, after a gun fight, blown up the hut where the men were hiding, and had retrieved five bodies that had been charred beyond recognition. The bodies were buried separately without any post mortem examination.

Protests soon erupted as locals alleged that at least 17 innocent Kashmiri Muslim villagers had been detained by the police and the army, and were then “disappeared”. They suspected that the alleged “foreign militants” the 7 RR claimed to have eliminated, who they claimed were responsible for the Chhatisinghpora massacres, were actually some of these innocent Kashmiri Muslim villagers.

To cut a long story short, bodies were eventually exhumed and DNA tests established the five men who were killed by the 7 RR and claimed to be foreign militants were local villagers. A CBI enquiry established that the claims made by 7 RR were false and these men were abducted, held illegally in custody, killed in a staged encounter, and their identities were sought to be obliterated by burning the bodies. Even though the Indian Army was compelled to prosecute the accused in a General Court Martial, it acquitted all of the officers and men citing insufficient evidence.

Meanwhile, in 2006, in the introduction to former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright’s book, The Mighty and the Almighty ? Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs, Bill Clinton wrote: “During my visit to India in 2000, some Hindu militants decided to vent their outrage by murdering 38 Sikhs in cold blood.”

The book's publisher, Harper Collins, later dropped that statement.

What most people, who have not lived in a conflict zone for decades under AFSPA, do not realise is that many of the massacres in such areas are extremely murky and the perpetrators may not exactly be who the government or authorities claim they are to be. Many such killings are carried out for various reasons – to foment communal/ethnic clashes and destabilize the state government, for political capital to shore up electoral prospects, and for numerous political and geo-strategic objectives.

A series of such killings of innocent family members of top ULFA and NDFB leaders took place in Assam between 1997-2001, infamously known as the “Secret Killings”, which were, in effect, carried out by the police and surrendered militants working for the police. No one ever got prosecuted and convicted for those. My own stumbling on to the information about who were the surrendered ULFA militants and police personnel who had gone out from the Nalbari Police Reserve on the night of killing of Mithinga Daimary’s family in Barama’s Nij Juluki village triggered the relentless state repression that eventually led me to walk the path I was compelled to. Not many people know how I was hounded and became a “criminal” who would be arrested on the drop of a hat on the flimsiest of grounds repeatedly to damage any shred of credibility I may have left.

So, I would be very careful about jumping to conclusions about who carried out the Pehelgam massacre, or the narrative being sought to be shoved down our throats by a mainstream media which is hardly objective and factual.

What it clearly establishes, however, is that if indeed it was a massacre of Hindu tourists by foreign Pakistan backed terrorists, Modi-Shah-Doval are incompetent in their task of “protecting” India and Indians. The alternative explanations are, of course, way more sinister.

Even before the nature of the blast could be confirmed, some on Twitter (also on FB, YouTube comment boxes) have started with various theories, including Hamas and the Jews. They were all waiting to defame Kerala.
