Trustees Letter dated 22.03.2001 to Hemlata read
‘Strictly Personal and Confidential’ but no confidentiality had been maintained
by them. The trustees had widely circulated this defamatory letter to inmates,
locals, police and even made open representation in the court without producing
any evidence for my alleged pregnancy. So after issuing Legal Notices to the
trustees and one Krishna Belliappa who was supposed to have made me pregnant,
as claimed by the trustees, on 03.04.2001, to safeguard our interests, I was
constrained to file a defamation case against the Ashram trustees viz. Harikant
Patel, Veda Prakash Johar, Dilip Datta, Manoj Das Gupta and Albert Patel @
Avinash together with three inmates viz. Krishna Belliappa, Manjunath,
Satyanarayanamurthy.
Even before notice could reach the accused
persons, the trustees had come to know about my criminal case and they
proceeded to harass and victimize my other sisters. My four elder sisters were
issued a malafide show cause notice for an incident which never occurred
accusing them of ‘misbehavior and defiance’. This notice contained the
punishment without having first ascertained the veracity of the alleged
incident.
Immediately after issuing this malafide notice Nivedita’s
work was illegally stopped by Chitra Sen at Tresor Nursing Home and no reason
was given. Seeing the trustees highhandedness my four elder sisters filed a
civil suit challenging the show cause notice back-dated to 02.04.2001 in O.S.
No.253/2001 before the Hon’ble I Additional District Munsif at Pondicherry on
09.04.2001, seeking to restrain the trustees from their unjustified illegal
actions.
Interestingly on 07.04.2001, the day Nivedita’s
work was illegally terminated, trustees issued a reply notice to the legal
notice issued by me for causing defamation, based on some undisclosed medical
records of Hemlata available at the Tresor Nursing Home. Thereafter the
contents of this notice were presented as counter in the interim injunction
application filed in I.A. No.814/2001 in O.S. No.215/2001.
The story of allegation of misconduct by Hemlata
was subtly changed from trustees’ defamatory letter dated 22.03.2001 to their
reply notice dated 07.04.2001 and their counter filed in I.A. No.814/2001. The
subtleties made all the difference and clearly indicated that the whole bunch
of allegations was a concocted affair by the trustees, hand-in-glove with
Chitra Sen, to deny and deprive us justice for Jayashree’s assault.
