A special designated court hearing 2002 Naroda Patiya riot case here – where 95 persons were killed during the communal violence on 28 February 2002 - has issued notice to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is investigating the case.
“Additional principal jugde Jyotsana Yagnik has issued notice to SIT to submit the final Action Taken Report (ATR) on the further probe it had conducted till October 1 before court.” said Mukul Sinha, lawyer representing the Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM).
The notice has been issued on the basis of application filed by the JSM, an NGO representing some of the riot victims.
“We had filed an application which sought court directions to SIT to submit ATR under section 173(8) of the Criminal Procedure Code.” said Amrish Patel, lawyer and convener of JSM.
JSM alleged that SIT had filed a progress report to the Supreme Court, but not before the trial court which was directed by the court last year. Earlier in 2010, Mukul Sinha had submitted that SIT should clarify its stand on the role of former Gujarat Home Minister Gordhan Zadafia and two other police officials in this case.

Gujarat HC refuses to hear petition on Modi fast 21.09.2011 | 19:32 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
The Gujarat High Court today disposed off two petitions filed against Narendra Modi’s Sadbhavana Mission in which the chief minister had undertaken a fast for three days. The petitions were filed by an NGO Vikalp Trust and an individual Ramesh Mota.
As the petitions were filed on the basis of newspaper reports and media coverage, the division bench of Acting Chief Justice AY Dave and Justice JB Paradiwala disposed the same and suggested petitioners to file their petition afresh after verifying the news reports.
Counsel KG Pandit, representing Vikalp Trust, argued that the petition has been filed to seek a direction for recovering the money spent from the state exchequer during the three days long sadbhavana mission.
Pandit and Ratana Vora, the counsel representing Mota, presented to the court newspaper clippings which stated that amounts to the tune of Rs. 50 crore was spent by the state during the three day programme. They argued that the chief minister had undertaken a personal programme and cannot be allowed to spend money from the state exchequer.
The high court however highlighted the rule book whereby under chapter 2 rule 3(b) of Gujarat High Court PIL rules, 2010, if a petition is filed on the basis of news reports, then it should be verified by the petitioner personally which as per the high court the petitioners failed to do.
The bench also observed and objected to the fact that the trust had given the copy of the petition to the media even before the matter came up before the court to gain publicity.

(HOPE EVERY ONE KNOW THIS ..)
A REPLY LETTER WRITTEN BY:
NITIN GUPTA (RIVALDO)
B. Tech, IIT Bombay
ON Rahul Gandhi: "I feel ashamed to call myself an INDIAN after seeing
what has happened here in UP".
Dear Rahul,
YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL ASHAMED???????
But don't be disappointed, I would give you ample reasons to feel
ashamed... You really want to feel Ashamed..?
* First Ask Pranav Mukherjee, Why isn't he giving the details of
the account holders in the Swiss Banks.
* Ask your Mother, Who is impeding the Investigation against
Hasan Ali?
* Ask her, Who got 60% Kickbacks in the 2G Scam ?
* Kalamadi is accused of a Few hundred Crores, Who Pocketed the
Rest in the Common Wealth Games?
* Ask Praful Patel what he did to the Indian Airlines? Why did
Air India let go of the Profitable Routes ?
* Why should the Tax Payer pay for the Air India losses, when
you intend to eventually DIVEST IT ANYWAY!!!
* Also, You People can't run an Airline Properly. How can we
expect you to run the Nation?
* Ask Manmohan Singh. Why/What kept him quiet for so long?
* Are Kalmadi and A Raja are Scapegoats to save Big Names like
Harshad Mehta was in the 1992 Stock Market Scandal ?
* Who let the BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY Accused go Scot Free? (20,000
People died in that Tragedy)
* Who ordered the State Sponsored Massacre of SIKHS in 84?
* Please read more about, How Indira Gandhi pushed the Nation
Under Emergency in 76-77, after the HC declared her election to Lok
Sabha Void!
* WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHT THIS ARREST?
Dear Rahul, to refresh your memory, you were arrested/detained by the
FBI the BOSTON Airport in September 2001.
You were carrying with you $ 1,60,000 in Cash. You couldn't explain why
you were carrying so much Cash.
(Incidentally He was with his Columbian girlfriend Veronique Cartelli,
ALLEGEDLY, the Daughter of Drug Mafia. 9 HOURS he was kept at the
Airport. Later then freed on the intervention of the then Prime Minister
Mr. Vajpayee.. FBI filed an equivalent of an FIR in US and released him.
When FBI was asked to divulge the information, by Right/Freedom to
Information Activists about the reasons Rahul was arrested ...
FBI asked for a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from Rahul Gandhi.
So Subramaniyam Swami wrote a Letter to Rahul Gandhi, " If you have
NOTHING to HIDE, Give us the Permission"
HE NEVER REPLIED!)
Why did that arrest not make Headlines Rahul? You could have gone to the
Media and told, "I am ashamed to call myself an INDIAN?".
Or is it that, you only do like to highlight Symbolic Arrests (like in
UP) and not Actual Arrests (In BOSTON)
Kindly Clarify.....In any case, you want to feel ashamed, Read Along...
YOUR MOTHER'S SO CALLED SACRIFICE OF GIVING UP PRIME MINISTERSHIP in
2004.
According to a Provision in the Citizenship Act, A Foreign National who
becomes a Citizen of India, is bounded by the same restrictions,
which an Indian would face, If he/she were to become a Citizen of Italy.
(Condition based on principle of reciprocity)
Now Since you can't become a PM in Italy, Unless you are born there.
Likewise an Italian Citizen can't become Indian PM,
unless He/She is not born here!
Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Man who Exposed the 2G Scam) sent a letter
to the PRESIDENT OF INDIA bringing the same to his Notice.
PRESIDENT OF INDIA sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi to this effect, 3:30
PM, May 17th, 2004.
Swearing Ceremony was scheduled for 5 PM the same Day. Manmohan Singh
was brought in the Picture at the last moment to Save Face!!
Rest of the SACRIFICE DRAMA which she choreographed was an EYE WASH!!!
In fact Sonia Gandhi had sent, 340 letters, each signed by different MP
to the PRESIDENT KALAM, supporting her candidacy for PM.
One of those letters read, "I Sonia Gandhi, elected Member from Rai
Bareli, hereby propose Sonia Gandhi as Prime Minister."
So SHE was Pretty INTERESTED! Until She came to know the Facts! She
didn't make any Sacrifice, It so happens that SONIA GANDHI
couldn't have become the PM of INDIA that time.
You could be Ashamed about that Dear Rahul!! One Credential Sonia G had,
Even that was a HOAX!
THINK ABOUT YOURSELF.
You go to Harvard on Donation Quota. ( Hindujas Gave HARVARD 11 million
dollars the same year, when Rajiv Gandhi was in Power)
Then you are expelled in 3 Months/ You Dropped out in 3 Months....
(Sadly Manmohan Singh wasn't the Dean of Harvard that time, else
you might have had a chance... Too Bad, there is only one Manmohan
Singh!)
Then Why did you go about lying about being Masters in Economics from
Harvard .. before finally taking it off your Resume upon questioning
by Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Gentlemen who exposed the 2G Scam)
At St. Stephens.. You Fail the Hindi Exam. Hindi Exam!!!
And you are representing the Biggest Hindi Speaking State of the
Country?
SONIA GANDHI's EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Sonia G gave a sworn affidavit as a Candidate that She Studied English
at University of Cambridge
According to Cambridge University, there is no such Student EVER! Upon
a Case by Dr. Subramaniyam Swami filed against her, She subsequently
Dropped the CAMBRIDGE CREDENTIAL from her Affidavit.
Sonia Gandhi didn't even pass High School. She is just 5th class Pass!
In this sense, She shares a common Educational Background with her 2G
Partner
In Crime, Karunanidhi.
You Fake your Educational Degree, Your Mother Fakes her Educational
Degree. And then you go out saying, " We want Educated Youth into
Politics!"
WHY LIE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIALS?
Not that Education is a Prerequisite for being a great Leader, but then
you shouldn't have lied about your qualifications!
You could feel a little ashamed about Lying about your Educational
Qualifications. You had your reasons I know, Because in India, WE
RESPECT
EDUCATION!
But who cares about Education, When you are a Youth Icon!!
YOUTH ICON
You traveled in the Local Train for the first time at the Age of 38.
You went to some Villages as a part of Election Campaign. And You won a
Youth Icon!! ... That's why You are my Youth Icon.
For 25 Million People travel by Train Every day. You are the First
Person to win a Youth Icon for boarding a Train.
Thousands of Postmen go to remotest of Villages. None of them have yet
gotten a Youth Icon. You were neither YOUNG Nor ICONIC!
Still You became a Youth Icon beating Iconic and Younger Contenders like
RAHUL DRAVID.
SURNAME
Shakespeare said, What's in a Name?
Little did he knew, It's all in the Name, Especially the Surname!
Speaking of Surname, Sir DO YOU REALLY RESPECT GANDHI, OR IS IT JUST TO
CASH IN ON THE GOODWILL OF MAHATMA?
Because the Name on your Passport is RAUL VINCI. Not RAHUL GANDHI..
May be if you wrote your Surname as Gandhi, you would have experienced,
what Gandhi feels like, LITERALLY ( Pun Intended)
You People don't seem to use Gandhi much, except when you are fighting
Elections. ( There it makes complete sense).
Imagine fighting elections by the Name Raul Vinci...
You use the name GANDHI at will and then say, " Mujhe yeh YUVRAJ shabd
Insulting lagta hai! Kyonki aaj Hindustan mein Democracy hai, aur is
shabd
ka koi matlab nahin hai! YUVRAJ, Itna hi Insulting lagta hai, to lad lo
RAUL VINCI ke Naam se!!! Jin Kisano ke saath photo khinchate ho woh bhi
isliye entertain karte hain ki GANDHI ho.. RAUL VINCI bol ke Jao... Ghar
mein nahin ghusaenge!!!
You could feel ashamed for your Double Standards.
YOUTH INTO POLITICS.
Now You want Youth to Join Politics.
I say First you Join Politics. Because you haven't Joined Politics. You
have Joined a Family Business.
First you Join Politics. Win an Election fighting as RAUL VINCI and Not
Rahul Gandhi, then come and ask the youth and the Educated Brass for
more
involvement in Politics.
Also till then, Please don't give me examples of Sachin Pilot and Milind
Deora and Naveen Jindal as youth who have joined Politics. They are not
Politicians. They Just happen to be Politicians.
Much Like Abhishek Bachchan and other Star Sons are not Actors. They
just happen to be Actors (For Obvious Reasons)
So, We would appreciate if you stop requesting the Youth to Join
Politics till you establish your credentials...
WHY WE CAN'T JOIN POLITICS!
Rahul Baba, Please understand, Your Father had a lot of money in your
Family account ( in Swiss Bank) when he died.
Ordinary Youth has to WORK FOR A LIVING. YOUR FAMILY just needs to
NETWORK FOR A LIVING
If our Father had left thousands of Crores with us, We might consider
doing the same. But we have to Work. Not just for ourselves.
But also for you. So that we can pay 30% of our Income to the Govt.
which can then be channelized to the Swiss Banks and your Personal
Accounts under
some Pseudo Names.
So Rahul, Please don't mind If the Youth doesn't Join Politics.
We are doing our best to fund your Election Campaigns and your Chopper
Trips to the Villages.
Somebody has to Earn the Money that Politicians Feed On.
NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHIs. YOU ARE SO CALLED GANDHIs!!
Air India, KG Gas Division, 2G, CWG, SWISS BANK Account Details... Hasan
Ali, KGB., FBI Arrest..
You want to feel ashamed..?
Feel Ashamed for what the First Family of Politics has been reduced
to... A Money Laundering Enterprise.
NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHI'S BY BLOOD. GANDHI is an adopted Name. For
Indira didn't marry Mahatma Gandhi's Son.
For even if you had one GENE OF GANDHI JI in your DNA. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN PLAGUED BY SUCH 'POVERTY OF AMBITION'
(Ambition of only EARNING MONEY)
You really want to feel Ashamed?
Feel Ashamed for what you ' SO CALLED GANDHI'S' have done to MAHATMA'S
Legacy..
I so wish GANDHI JI had Copyrighted his Name!
Meanwhile, I would request Sonia Gandhi to change her name to $ONIA
GANDHI, and you could replace
the 'R' in RAHUL/RAUL by the New Rupee Symbol!!!
RAUL VINCI : I am ashamed to call myself an Indian.
Even we are ashamed to call you so!
P.S: Popular Media is either bought or blackmailed, controlled to
Manufacture Consent! My Guess is Social Media is still a Democratic
Platform.
(Now they are trying to put legislations to censor that too!!).
Meanwhile, Let's ask these questions, for we deserve some Answers.
YOURS SINCERELY

Ishrat Jahan: SIT gets more time to submit report 09.09.2011 | 22:02 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Gujarat high court to investigate the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, today obtained more time to submit its investigation report. The high court granted time till October 5 on a plea by the SIT to this effect.
SIT chairman RR Verma who was scheduled to submit a progress report including important findings of forensic teams from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to the Gujarat High Court sought more time today from the court. Verma stated that the report needs to be discussed with experts from AIIMS.
On the other hand Mukul Sinha argued that the SIT has already taken enough time and the court proceedings should not be stretched further.
The division bench of Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari directed SIT to submit its Report along with a firm conclusion on the alleged encounter by October 5. The matter has now been listed for October 7.
Verma and amicus curiae, Yogesh Lakhani, stated that SIT is facing problems due to the transfer of their officers outside Ahmedabad.
The High Court then ordered that no officer should be transferred by the government till the SIT finishes its investigation.
Ishrat Jahan, a 19-year-old college girl, along with Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, were allegedly killed in a police encounter in 2004.
Ahmedabad lawyers stay away from lower court 09.09.2011 | 18:43 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
Mischief mongers seem to be having a field day after the terror attack on the Dellhi High Court on Wednesday last. At Ahmedabad, the criminal courts bar association passed a resolution and decided to stay away from the court today after an anonymous letter threatening to blow up the Metropolitan Magistrates Court was received.
“Considering the safety and security of advocates and outsiders, bar association has decided to not to work on court proceedings today.” said lawyer Pushpa Chavada.
Metropolitan Magistrate BS Thakar received two letters on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, which threatened to blow up the metropolitan court on Friday. The Ahmedabad police and bomb disposal squad thereafter rushed to the court campus. The campus was sealed and checking was held for hours. Police found one suspicious suitcase but later it was found to be that of a lawyer who forgot his bag in the court.
After the blasts at Delhi high Court Ahmedabad police have taken extra precaution and have tightened the security of court campus.

Gujarat co-operative dept. denies info to bar association 06.09.2011 | 20:18 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
A Right to Information (RTI) application filed by the Gujarat State Co-operative Tribunal Bar Association has not been answered on the ground that the association is not a citizen of India. On June 7, the bar association sought details of co-operative banks which went into liquidation in the state during last the 10 years. The information was sought from state Co-operative department.
“We sought details regarding names, addresses of co-operative banks which went into liquidation in the state. Further we asked for the name of Liquidator officer, claims by the depositors if any, recovery and pending amounts of banks which went into liquidation and administrative expenses.” said Hitesh Shah, President of Gujarat State Co-operative Tribunal Bar Association to Law et al. News.
On June 7, NB Sheikh, Public Information Officer of state co-operative department refused to give the information stating that under section 3 of Right to Information Act, 2005 an answer can only be provided to citizens of India and not to any association or other body. Bar association thereafter filed an appeal with the appellate authority of the department, but on September 5 was again refused information on the said ground.
“Interestingly, as a bar association, we have received answers from higher officials of the same department in various matters, but this time they are not ready to answer. If they reply to this RTI, the corruption, irregularities and malpractices of co-operative banks undergoing liquidation are likely to come out. To hide that, they are not replying.” Shah alleged.
The association has however decided to pursue its case before the State Information Commission. Some of the members will also file a fresh RTI application individually to get the same information sought earlier.
“The main intention of RTI Act is to make the administration of government department more transparent through providing proper information. When any association, NGO or other bodies files an RTI application and puts the information in to public domain, it has more impact rather than through a person.” added Shah.

Former Minister IK Jadeja seeks more time to appear before riots probe commission 05.09.2011 | 14:47 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
Former Gujarat minister and currently spokesperson of the ruling BJP party in the state, IK Jadeja, today failed to appear before the Nanavati-Mehta Commission probing the Gujrat riots. Jadeja sent an application seeking more time to appear before the commission. The application does not mention any reason for his seeking more time.
Jadeja was summoned by the commission for questioning on the riots. He was in charge of Urban Development department of the state, during the riots of 2002.
"Jadeja was supposed to appear today before the commission but he has sought more time. He is likely to be appearing on September 23." said Mukul Sinha, a lawyer and activist of Jan Sangharsh Manch(JSM), an NGO representing riot victims.
Jadeja is the second minister who was summoned and will be questioned in this regard. Earlier the commission had quizzed former state home minister Gordhan Zadafia which took place in-camera.
It has been alleged that Jadeja alongwith then colleague in the ministry Ashok Bhatt were present at the city police control room, during the riots and had issued instructions to the police.

Fighting corruption from within 23.08.2011 | 08:15 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
Using the Right to Information (RTI) as a tool, a 45 year old transmission executive of All India Radio is locked in a tenacious battle with his own department in a bid to expose corruption and nepotism in the organisation.
The executive, Ravindra Parmar who works in All India Radio, Ahmedabad first came to know of the alleged involvement of four of his colleagues in a racket in 2008 wherein they would appropriate to themselves sponsored programmes being commissioned by the government from private agencies, carry it out themselves and appropriate the financials.
Parmar moved an application under the RTI Act seeking details about the sponsored programmes. His plea for information hit a wall and were fended off with either half-baked replies or bland statements to the effect that records were not available.
With whatever information his repeated pleas could glean, Parmar knocked the doors of the CBI which swung into action in 2008 raiding the office and residences of the various officials including the station director Sadhana Bhatt. Following the raid and subsequent investigations, two of the executives, the husband-wife team of Mihir and Ashleesha Mehta were placed under suspension and continue to be so to this date. The two had set-up a company, Manisha Creative which was allegedly being used to secure the programmes contracts.
According to Parmar, All India Radio suffered a loss of Rs 70 lakhs due to this abuse of well laid out service rules. “There will be many more such cases and the losses will go into a huge sum of money, if the records are properly probed. In these cases also what has emerged so far is merely the tip of the iceberg”, he says charging that more people are involved and even conduct of higher-ups role needs to be looked into.
“According to Central Civil Services (CCS) conduct rule 15(1)(f) & 8, no staff member of All India Radio and Doordarshan is authorized to give voice or to act in the sponsored programs, but some of my colleagues didn’t care about the rules and gave their voice in sponsored programs.” As per Ravindra Parmar.
He is emphatic that “Before a program is aired, it is the responsibility of the station director to check the entire program. It is only after it is cleared by him that it is aired.”
Parmar is a man possessed. He has so far filed 30 RTI applications pertaining to AIR. In fact his persistence has led the AIR management to file a complaint that he is misusing RTI to harass it, and as a result he has now been served with a show cause notice.
Parmar however refuses to give up and is doggedly pursuing the matter. The CBI has recommended Regular Departmental Action (RDA) but the department is yet to move in this regard. Parmar’s question is why only two employees have been suspended, when there are atleast three others who are involved ? He is not happy with the CBI as well and on 26 February 2010 he has filed an application under section 319 of CrPC, in the CBI court seeking reinvestigation of the case.
“An outsider can fight against corruption, but to be in the system and to fight against one’s own colleagues and seniors, it becomes very much difficult”, he says adding that during the last four year’s epic battle, he has gone through unbearable stress and harassment including threat to life. He now stands transferred to Bikaner but has refused to go advancing the plea that he is been transferred because he is raising his voice against corruption.
Acting on his complaint the Central Vigilance Commission has directed AIR to stop his transfer not to harass him. Even Ahmed Patel, political advisor to Congress President Sonia Gandhi has acted on his representation and urged for a stop of his transfer. Unfazed, Ravindra Parmar’s epic battle continues. “I will not rest until I get justice”, he says emphatically.
