APPLICATION
WITH PRAYER FOR DIRECTIONS TO THE SUPREME COURT REGISTRY TO MAINTAIN PROPER
COURT RECORDS IN THIS MATTER
To
Hon'ble The Chief Justice
of India and His Companion Judges of the Supreme Court of India., the
application of the Appellant/ Petitioner most respectfully showeth :-
1.
This matter was listed
before the Hon’ble Court on 20 November. The following interlocutory
applications filed by the Appellant were also listed on that date.
IA No. unknown
|
Application
for condonation of delay in filing the Appeal.
|
IA No. 111244/2017
|
Application
with prayer for recall of order dated 27 October 2017 appointing ASG Senior
Advocate Ms Pinky Anand as amicus in this matter
|
IA No. 122625/2017
|
Application
with prayer to summon the Delhi High Court records of Writ Petition Civil No.
1280/2012, CONT. CASE(CRL) 2/2014, CONT.
CASE(CRL) 3/2012, and O.M.P.647/2012
|
IA No. 123144/2017
|
Application
with prayer for reference of this appeal for hearing to a five Judge
Constitution Bench of this Hon’ble Court
|
2.
However, the order dated
20 November 2017 that was made available on the website of the Supreme Court
had several mistakes. A copy of this order dated 20
November 2017 with four vital mistakes is annexed hereto as Annexure IA 1.
The Application for
condonation of delay was neither mentioned in the cause-list for 20 November
2017 nor was it mentioned in the order dated 20 November 2017.
|
The Application for recall of order
dated 27 October 2017 appointing ASG Senior Advocate Ms Pinky Anand as amicus
in this matter though mentioned in the cause-list for 20 November 2017 was
omitted in the order dated 20 November 2017.
|
The Application with prayer to
summon the Delhi High Court records of Writ Petition Civil No. 1280/2012,
CONT. CASE(CRL) 2/2014, CONT. CASE(CRL)
3/2012, and O.M.P.647/2012 was wrongly shown as IA 122622/2017 both in the
cause-list for 20 November 2017 and in the order dated 20 November 2017.
|
The Application with prayer for
reference of this appeal for hearing to a five Judge Constitution Bench of
this Hon’ble Court was wrongly shown in the order dated 20 November 2017 as
IA No. 12133/2017.
|
3.
The Appellant raised
these matters with senior officers of the Supreme Court Registry and a
corrected order for 20 November 2017 was made available on the Supreme Court
website. A copy of this corrected order dated 20
November 2017 is annexed hereto as Annexure IA 2.
4.
The Appellant is most
concerned that her interlocutory application seeking orders to remove Ms Pinky
Anand as amicus and in which application the appellant has stated that she was
sexually harassed by RaianKaranjawala and sexually harassed and sexually
assaulted by Soli Sorabjee and later threatened by Soli Sorabjee to drop her
complaints against General Electric Company, was omitted from being shown as listed
before the Hon’ble Court in the order dated 20 November 2017. The Appellant hopes
that there was no attempt by these influential lawyers to use court staff to
suppress this IA No. 111244/2017. If the Appellant had not noticed this vital
omission and taken steps to request the Registry officers to have this order
corrected, this IA No. 111244/2017 would have slipped through the cracks and
would not even have been shown in the cause-list on the next date of hearing.
Further, there is a grave and ongoing threat to the life of the Appellant. If
the Appellant is harmed and is thereby prevented from appearing before this
Hon’ble Court, there would have been nobody to point out this omission to the Court
on the next date of hearing. This was a serious mistake.
5.
The Appellant points out
that the fact that there were material mistakes with respect to all of the
interlocutory applications of the appellant in the order dated 20 November 2017
is unusual and is a cause for concern.
6.
This case contains
pleadings and evidence establishing the Appellant’s whistle-blower complaints
of corruption by General Electric Company and of the fraud, perjury and forgery
before the Delhi High Court to cover-up the corruption by General Electric
Company, hence it is important that no person be allowed to influence registry
officials to manipulate the court record. The Appellant is concerned because
there were multiple instances when the court record was unlawfully interfered with
using court officials before the Delhi High Court in the whistle-blower right
to life petition of the appellant filed there, being Writ Petition Civil No.
1280/2012 (In the matter of Seema Sapra vs General Electric Company &
Others). The Appellant had to move an application before the Delhi High Court
in this regard and an order was passed directing the Delhi High Court Registry
to maintain proper records in that matter.
7.
The Appellant also
submits that Hon’ble Justice U. U. Lalit recused from hearing this Appeal on 20
November 2017. In these circumstances it was important that IA 111244/2017,
which it is humbly submitted might have been a reason for the recusal, be in
the notice of the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India while reassigning this matter.
The Appellant was therefore doubly concerned that the order first made
available for 20 November 2017 did not mention IA 111244/2017. The Appellant
specifically requested the Supreme Court Registry Officials that the corrected
order for 20 November 2017 be placed before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India
when his directions were sought regarding listing of this matter before another
Bench.
8.
This application seeks to
place the above facts before this Hon’ble Court and seeks
directions to the Supreme Court Registry to ensure that proper records are
maintained in this matter and that there is no attempt by any person to
influence the registry officers to cause any unlawful interference to the court
record in this matter.
PRAYER
It is, therefore, most
respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to allow
this Applicationand:-
(i)
To direct
the Supreme Court Registry to ensure that proper records are maintained in this
matter and to ensure that there is no attempt by any person to influence the
registry officers to cause any unlawful interference to the court record in
this matter;
(ii)
To pass such other orders
and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the
circumstances of the case.
FOR WHICH ACT OF
KINDNESS, THE APPELLANT/ PETITIONER SHALL AS IN DUTY BOUND, EVER PRAY.
