Visit of Chief Justice of Madras High Court

Chief Justice of Madras High Court comes to the Ashram at about 5.15 pm. People have seen him being entertained by Matriprasad and Devdip. As per protocol the Chief Justice should stay at Raj Nivas but he did not put up there. Where did he spend his holiday at Pondicherry?

In fact, in 2009, we had written a letter to Chief Justice of Madras High Court stating that Judges from the Supreme Court and various High Courts across the country were constantly being entertained by the trustees and their henchmen. Justice K. Venkataraman took offence at our letter and became vindictive towards us because of this letter. We are producing the letter hereunder.

News-item Reporting Arrest

Trustees of Ashram bring out an article in ‘Times of India’ written by Bosco Dominique. We have repeatedly experienced that he and Debjani Datta, two local reporters of English dailies, only do one side reporting. Our complaints to this effect have not been entertained by the newspapers’ management. Is one sided reporting correct? IF NO, then these reporters must be banned by the Press Trust of India because of wrong reporting with the intention of misguiding and misrepresenting to the public. 

Anyways, Bosco Dominique reports that we five sisters are going to be arrested. Let us wait and see what happens.

Our Letter to newly appointed Chief Justice Of India

We have written to the newly sworn in Chief Justice of India Mr. Justice H.L. Dattu. We hope that he can bring some sense and order, especially in Justice Mukhopadhaya’s head, who has not only wrongly passed orders for eviction in a case not pertaining to property but relating to sexual harassment, but who having enjoyed the hospitality of the trustees is under the circumstances duty-bound to recuse himself from the contempt proceedings.

Our letter sent by RPAD is produced below, which highlights various grave miscarriages of justice caused by Supreme Court judges.

Procedure not followed?

What is pertinent to note that in their hurry to harass us the trustees have not themselves followed the law. Apparently some Form-I is required for service of notice, so I am told. But no such form exists either in the notice received through RPAD nor through the court given by the Court Amin.

SOS-Letter faxed to Hon'ble Home Minister

We sent our representation to the Hon’ble Home Minister by fax. Produced below wherein we have expressed explicitly our desire not to bow down to injustices heaped upon us and valiantly fight through till death.

In a case where issues of sexual harassment has been challenged, eviction notice is ordered by the Supreme Court. This just goes to show how the judges do not read the papers and are not competent to hold the office they are responsible for.

Contempt Notice served by Pondicherry Court Amin

We received service of notice of Contempt Proceedings through the Pondicherry court. Court Amin came at 8.45 am to serve the notice to us.

We are producing below the Office Order and the Order passed in the Court in the Contempt Proceedings filed by the Ashram Trustees against us. Office Order states that notice should be issued to five sisters in the Contempt Proceedings filed by the Trustees. Order passed on 15.09.2014 for issue of notice in contempt proceedings. Mysteriously these orders disappeared today from the official website of the Supreme Court. Why???

It is very interesting to note the amount of trouble the trustees are going to to suppress the facts of the contempt proceedings. Luckily a friend of ours had downloaded them and we have them with us.

Office Order is followed by the Order passed in the Court

Our Letter to Registrar, Supreme Court of India

We sent a letter to the Registrar by RPAD informing him that since we have no means to appear and present ourselves, our light may be considered. I am producing our letter to the Registrar below. We have also hinted at the professionally unethical lapses on the part of Judges.

Contempt Proceedings wrongly entertained by Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya

I was told by some well wishers who checked on the internet and found that the notice of contempt has been issued by none other Mr. Justice Sudhanshu Jyoti Mukhopadhaya on 15.09.2014, just two days after having enjoyed the hospitality of the Ashram Trustees at Pondicherry. Did he oblige the trustees for free ….!!!! Everybody’s guess.

How blatantly the judges of the Supreme Court are misusing their discretionary powers can be seen by this issue of notice in Contempt Proceedings.

1. Our SLP No.27620/2012 was initially listed before Justice Gokhale and Jusitce Nijjar, who had already part-heard the case and who had granted stay of the High Court proceedings. Next date of hearing was 15.07.2014.
2. On 26.04.2014 suddenly our SLP was preponed by 1 1/2 months from 15.07.2014 to 29.04.2014. We were given only two days time for preparation.
3. Our SLP came up entirely before a different bench comprising of Justice Sudhanshu Jyoti Mukhopadhaya and Justice Ranjan Gogoi 
4. Justice Mukhopadhaya and Justice Gogoi, on their first ever hearing, passed totally inappropriate orders on 29.04.2014, not pertaining to the reliefs sought for in the SLP.
5. Justice Mukhopadhaya and Justice Gogoi passed totally inappropriate orders on 29.04.2014 without giving us any chance to represent ourselves.
6. Justice Mukhopadhaya even mentioned in the open court that he had visited the Ashram. He ought not to have heard the case under such circumstances.
7. Orders passed by Justice Mukhopadhaya and Justice Gogoi stated that we had to vacate 'suit premises' when there was no claim for property since our case is for challenging the impugned report manufactured by the trustees of Ashram to hush up the sexual harassment faced by us.

What better example of blatant miscarriage of justice can there be? The victims of sexual harassment are further victimized by the judges who leave the aggressors scott free.

Notice in Contempt Proceedings filed by the Trustees

Today my elder sister Jayashree received notice through RPAD (register post acknowledgment due) with regard to the Contempt Petition filed by the Trustees of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. The posting was done from Villupuram and no sender’s address was mentioned. The notice failed to inform us before which Judge of the Supreme Court the contempt petition came up but it directed us to be present on 13.10.2014 before the Supreme Court of India and that all our correspondences should be addressed to the Registrar of Supreme Court of India.

Justice Sudhanshu Jyoti Mukhopadhaya compromised by Ashram Trustees

Today Mr. Justice Sudhanshu Jyoti Mukhopadhaya visits Ashram Trustees in the evening and enjoys their hospitality. There is no bar from the Judges visiting the Ashram as devotees. But when matters are pending before them are they professionally correct in doing so? Already Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya has passed malafide orders without following principles of natural justice and blatantly favoring trustees. Order dated 29.04.2014 is produced below.

Trustees request him to compromise Five Prasad sisters case. Let us see what he does next.
