Mr Prime Minister...

Dear Mr Prime Minister,

I am laboring to write this to you because I still consider you to be the best ever PM of this country. The only other person who has earned as much love and respect is Lal Bahadur Shastri who had rightly identified the national priorities through his slogan ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’. Unfortunately the dark forces working against the nation succeeded in eliminating him before he could make an impact.

Gujaratis are successful banias no doubt and hence your thrust on economic reforms can be appreciated in that context. But to believe that better economic affairs will translate to better quality of life for individuals is a myth. (Even for arguments sake if one agrees with it, there cannot be any doubt that such economic prosperity and equitable distribution of such wealth will remain a myth for a long, long time to come!) Closer home, in Kerala, I remember a talk show where the impact of declaring Kottayam as the first fully literate district in the State was being discussed. One of the participants had said that the number of complaints had increased! But more than two decades down the line I can vouch for how complaints are being treated by the authorities in Kerala-as trash!

I believe that a citizen who is seriously aggrieved can only do two things to get the grievance redressed- approach the courts or the police. But as per a Transparency International Report these are the most corrupt institutions in the country! (By the way, TI is facing contempt of court charges for publishing that Report!) But long before TI started publishing its reports or social media became an effective tool for reporting events live, I have heard older generations pray for passing through this life without having to enter a court or a police station!

By the very fact that justice delayed is justice denied, it can be concluded that our judiciary is an absolute failure. But the worse thing is that even after preposterous delays most of the decisions do not pass the test of logical deductions and just conclusions. My own study of certain court decisions tells me that the introductions are flowery and appeal to the gallery, the facts are generally non-disputable (though the complete facts may not be there!), the deductions are hazy and the conclusions?............. Preposterous!) I feel offended when the judges quote the poor judge to population ratio as the reason for the unacceptable delays. This itself is a lie and needs to be viewed as something like throwing one’s garbage into the neighbor’s plot! Here are some figures to prove them wrong:

Cases filed in one year (1999): India -13.6 Million (1,36,68,073); USA- 93.81 Million!
Docket’s per judge: India -987 per Judge; USA-3235 per Judge.

Suffice to say that judge to population ratio is irrelevant and what matters is the judge to docket ratio and any judge who doesn’t understand this logic should be considered incompetent to be a judge at all!

Further, whether it is the then CJI K G Balakrishanan declaring his office to be out of purview of the RTI Act or a former judge being compensated with Rs 100 cr in a defamation case or sending a sitting high court judge to jail for contempt of court, our judiciary has proved that it is a law unto themselves and the biggest threat to rule of law!

Of course under the circumstances you cannot do anything about it. I wish you had the wherewithal to impeach a few judges in quick succession so that democracy prevails instead of judicracy!

But if judiciary is bad, the quasi judicial organizations, intended to address limited areas of conflicts with simpler procedures are worse! Whether it is consumer disputes redressal for a/commissions constituted under the Consumer Protection Act or the plethora of ombudsmen and commissions like Human Rights Commissions and Information Commissions, they have all become rehabilitation centers for the worst public servants, after their retirement from regular employment, at tax payers’ cost! Though they are all directly under the Executive arm of the Constitution, complaints against them are simply dismissed on the ground that they are autonomous authorities! It may be due to incompetence or may be simply shirking responsibility taking advantage of the abhorable state of our judiciary. You may go through my blog at http://rithica2016.blogspot.in/2016/10/the-rti-act-is-dead.html to have a first hand feedback on how, right from the word go, the information commissioners have been subverting the RTI Act!

Coming to the administration in government, the less said the better. To put it bluntly, these are the people who are breeding criminals in the country. Journalist Taveleen Singh, writing for the Indian Express on Feb 21, 2010 (India’s bureaucratic albatross, http://www.indianexpress.com/story-print/582409/) had stated ‘Every time I deal with Indian officials I become so depressed that I almost need therapy.’ After all she was a lady and can be forgiven for not wanting to thrash the hell out of them! (Now please do not ask me why I do not do such a thing. As a man out of uniform, the feeling is like a wild animal domesticated and left back in the woods!)The state of implementation of the only citizen friendly and pro-democracy law of the land-the Right to Information Act-has proved beyond any iota of doubt that most of the so called public servants are not only worse than the worst criminals known to mankind they are also forcing ordinary, hard working, honest, law abiding citizens to take law into their own hands!

Having said all that, I must blame you squarely for two things- ill treating the soldiers and illogically enforcing the UID. Going for civilian sahayaks, doing away with free rations for officers in peace time and tasking soldiers to clean garbage can all be seen only as illogical, petty and intended to purposely hurt the ego and morale of the soldiers. The veterans protesting at Jantar Mantar do have a more comprehensive list of grievances, all genuine, for sure.
The concept of UID is no doubt good but it is a hard fact that developed countries like the U S of A, UK and Australia, with a fraction of our population and many times per capita GDP,  had given it up on issues of cost and privacy! And in our own country, in spite of its use for over 6 decades, our public servants have not been able to issue even ration cards without mistakes!

Ms Nirmala Seethaaraman- be Raksha Mantri not Kaamwaali Mantri

Attention: Ms Nirmala Seethaaraman, Raksha Mantri, Govt of India

Shame on you! With the first order you signed you have reduced (!) yourself from the Raksha Mantri of this nation (also known as a sub continent!) to a Kaamwali (to borrow a term from my Hindi speaking friends) Mantri! If you were really not interested in the security of the Nation and matters military you could have said that to the Prime Minister who could have created a new ministry for Swatch Bharat to be headed by a Cabinet Minister and installed you there!

I had seen and heard you a few times as the spokesperson of BJP and had been impressed with your understanding of the subject you were speaking on and the way you articulated them. But you reinforce the fact that juggling with words as an armchair expert is a different game from putting your shoulder to the wheel and working to produce tangible and perceivable results.

I have no doubt about the need for and urgency in a mission like Swatch Bharat. I have no idea either of how much taxpayers’ money has been squandered on the project and how much of it has really been spent on producing results. But in the township I live in, the only municipality in Kerala headed by the BJP, I know some effort had been made to earmark places for dumping garbage and signposting them but ultimately what has happened is that the Municipality has declared its intention to withdraw from its primary duty of keeping the town clean! The last date for their employees collecting segregated waste from homes (on payment, of course!) has been extended from 31 Aug 2017 to 01 Oct 2017! If they have created practical alternate arrangements for waste disposal I am not aware of it! By the way this local self governing body has been directly responsible for polluting fresh water sources like ponds by routing storm water (cum sewage!) drains to ponds and more than once the Ombudsman for Local Self Governing Bodies had directed it to clean them up without any effect! To be honest, this is not a problem with this Municipality only.

Coming back to matters military, do you know that it is the man behind the machine and his morale that is the ultimate battle winning factor? And when I say that this factor- morale - has been on slippery slope for years believe me as the voice of the voiceless. Yes, over the years, since the day we are told we got independence, there is nothing that the governments of the day have done to give him the justice and honour that is due to him. Worse, all of them have only worked towards exacerbating his plight! Even by the simple principle of equal pay for equal work one can say the Sepoy of the Indian Army deserves better pay and perks than the Cabinet Secretary of the Union Government. And to quote Aravind Kumar, Jurist and lawyer ('Needed high speed legal redressal', Pioneer, Kochi, 01 Aug 2006): Justice is an intrinsic human need. We suffer much privation but we cannot suffer being wronged. Absence of justice, we must not forget, is one of the causes of crime. Fortunately our soldiers are not inclined to crimes and the simplest of those that are committed are punished with a heavy hand. In fact they are in the most unenviable situation because their official tasking demands either they do or die. But that does not give anybody the liberty to task them with any and every errand in the world. By the way, can you ensure that your babus, led by the IASwallahs and wallies, the ones who have reduced government administration to a synonym for corruption and treason, keep their offices and premises clean without the help of safaikaramcharis?

I rest my case here for now. You may also read my blog at http://raviforjustice.blogspot.in/2014/02/for-whom-soldiers-sacrifice-their-lives.html

Adhaar-incorrect verification and inaction on complaints

File: Pers/comp-u min eit-adhaar verfn-020818                                                       02 Aug 2017

Sri Ravi Shankar Prasad (
Union Minister for Law, Justice, Electronics & Information Technology
Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, (Government of India)
Electronics Niketan, 6, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi: 110003

COMPLAINT: UIDAI-AUTHENTICATION FRAUD

1.      I had learnt from information in public domain that a project like UIDAI had been tried in the US of A, UK and Australia and had been given up on two counts- cost and privacy. But still the previous UPA government had gone ahead and invested thousands of crores of rupees of tax payer’s money in UIDAI which was then only seen as a scam on the lines of 2G, Coalgate and Vadragate. Even the BJP had opposed it tooth and nail then. But horror of horrors, the same party, since its coming to power in 2014, has been pursuing it more vigorously than its predecessor. And that, even while many cases are pending in various courts, including the apex court! Personally, I never needed any certificate from anyone or even any orders from any court to believe that though the concept is very good, it is not implementable. This comes from the experience with issue of ration cards which has not been streamlined even now. The Government of Kerala had even faced a crisis situation because of its failure to reissue these cards in the context of Food Security Act. And it was only on 29 Jul 2017 that the local media reported that 25000 persons, including government employees, had been removed from the Priority List in just Palakkad district!

2.      With that as prelude, here is the actual complaint. 

3.      I got my Adhaar card on 24 Apr 2017. And in less than a month I got an e mail  addressing me as Ravi Kumar Ojha and intimating that an adhaar bearing number xxxx xxxx 5222 had been successfully used to authenticate a transaction involving Idea Cellular Ltd! (the screen shot of the mail is given as Annxure 1).

4.      I complained to help@uidai.gov.in and adhaar@uidai.gov.in on 18 May 2017 as follows:

Quote begin
Refer your email of 14 May 2017.
I am not Ravi Kumar Ojha! Nor have I ever dealt with Idea Cellular Ltd in my life!
Now please explain how this mail has been sent to me.
Is it that Ravi Kumar Ojha's finger prints match mine?
Even if it was so, how did Ravi Kumar Ojha's adhaar number get linked to this e mail id?
And why only to the e mail id and not mobile number provided at the time of registering for Adhaar?
Quote end

Continued….

5.      In response I was asked to provide the following details through an e mail from help@uidai.gov.in of the same date, that is 18 May 2017:

Quote begin
Your case (20170518000392) has been registered with us. Please find below our response against your query:
Query 1(Subcase Id :2017051800039201)
We request you to please confirm if email ID and last four digits of Aadhaar Number (as mentioned in the received email) belong to you.
In case the email id and last four digits of Aadhaar number belong to you, we request you to please revert immediately with following additional information for Aadhaar team to investigate the case:
a. Full Name (Mandatory)
b. Address with State and pin code (Mandatory)
c. Phone number (Mandatory)
UIDAI Team might contact you for more details.
Quote end

6.      My response of 10 Jun 2017, to the above mail, was as follows:
Quote begin
Mr Administrator,
The fact is established that the original mail had come from your e mail id.
Hence, firstly, you are required to respond to the queries raised in my complaint which are repeated below:
Now please explain how this mail has been sent to me.
Is it that Ravi Kumar Ojha's finger prints match mine?
Even if it was so, how did Ravi Kumar Ojha's adhaar number get linked to this e mail id?
And why only to the e mail id and not mobile number provided at the time of registering for Adhaar?
Next, isn't it possible for you to identify my registered e mail id and adhaar number from my name which I had used in my e mail for lodging the complaint? By the way, the Aadhaar bears only this name and not my full name and my full name is not in your records because the proof of identity used by your franchisee had only this name and he NEVER asked for my full name! Now, I shall provide my full name only AFTER receiving a satisfactory response to my queries.
My address along with PIN code and mobile number are registered with you and is correctly mentioned in my adhaar document also.
I also take this opportunity to place on record the fact that your failure to disclose your identity is not acceptable. Public servants have no right to privacy in their professional communications.
Quote end
Continued….

7.      I haven’t got any response to that till now. However I have got another e mail, dated 26 Jul 2017, intimating another such fraud authentication with Punjab National Bank! Screen shot of this mail is attached as Annexure 2.

8.      I request you to get the matter investigated and arrange to get the system corrected before the problem becomes too complicated to correct. The role of those responsible for investigating complaints and their failure to provide satisfactory answer to my complaint registered with them as Case No 20170518000392 also need to be investigated.

Yours truly,



Major P M Ravindran (Retd)

comp-pm-220417-need for NQJAAC

File:Comp/PM/220417                                                                                 22 Apr 2017

Mr Prime Minister,

Greetings! Have a great day!

Before I proceed further I must express my helplessness in compromising with the twin requirements of brevity and comprehensiveness while writing to somone like you. You are the first Prime Minister that I know of who is working so hard, so focussed and with the best interests of the nation in your mind. The only other name I can recollect is of Sri Lal Bahadur Sastri. But unfortunately his term was cut short and we are still to know the truth behind his mysterious death in foreign soil.

Somebody had rightly said that those who condemn politics as the last refuge of a scoundrel are bound to be ruled by scoundrels. And we need not go further than our Constitution to realise how those who had inherited power from the colonisers let down the masses who had made tremendous sacrifices for the freedom they had struggled for. Law makers without any prescribed qualities, qualifications or experience, their men Fridays (popularly known as bureaucrats, who are required to help them in decision making by collecting and collating data and maintaining records) without any accountability but with all the scope for manipulations and a judiciary which has the scope for making the most arbitrary and whimsical decisions being held not only without accountability and beyond criticism but also protected by a totally illogical and weird armour called contempt of court, are the essential features of this Constitution in a nut shell.With such a Constitution and laws made under it, it is no wonder that governance in India had become synoymous with corruption and treason!

Now, I am also aware that you have no magic wand to do all that needs to be done. But still there can be a list of to do things arranged priority wise. And here is where all that thrust on Swatch Bharat and Make in India, however well intented and necessary, sound as hollow as Garibi Hatao of the 1970s.


Continued overleaf...

Changes must no doubt begin with government administration. I do not know if you have heard about the Independent Commission against Corruption of Hong Kong and how they cleansed the country of corruption in the 1980s. The reality in India is terribly worse. But nothing seems to be moving in that direction. I must say that much more than what has been achieved by demonetisation would have been achieved by conducting a surgical strike at corruption at the top echelons of the bureaucracy. Your thrust on Aadhaar can also be considered quixotic given the fact that a similar program had been discarded by much thinly populated but economically much stronger nations like the US of A, UK and Australia on two counts- privacy and cost. And we are a country where even after continuing with a program like PDS ever since independence, we cannot issue ration cards faultlessly! If you doubt my words ask the CM, Mr Pinarayi Vijayan, why the Food Security Act has not been implemented in Kerala so far!

The implementation of the Right to Information Act should be a case study on how laws should not be enacted only to be subverted with impunity by those very public servants who are tasked, empowered, equipped and paid to enforce them. I can state without an iota of doubt that had our justice delivery system been even 10 pc as effective as it ought to be all the information commissioners at the Central Information Commission and Kerala State Information Commission would be spending the rest of their life behind bars after being convicted under Sec 219 of the IPC.

That also brings me to the fact that all crimes, with exceptions, can be considered to begin in some government office. It starts with denial of mandatory services, progresses through bribe and culminates with judiciary asking for proof for demand of bribe for convicting the corrupt! You may like to recollect the case where a lower court judge in Gujarat had issued non bailable warrants against the then President and the then CJI after taking bribes. After the initial hue and cry the matter ended with the apex court exonerating the judge on the ground that he signs many documents in a day and he cannot be held guilty if some wrong documents had been signed by him! And one is yet to know of the results of the prosecution of the sting operators in that case for defaming the judiciary! And what has happened to P D Dinakaran who resigned the day before he was to be impeached? And the case where bribe money was delivered wrongly to one judge instead of another judge with a similar name?

The apex court may have illegally abrogated the National Judicial Appointment Commission Act and one can understand your helplessness. Hoping for the day when you will have atleast two thirds majority in the Parliament and one can work towards not only a National Judicial Appointment Commission  but also the more important National Judicial Accountability Commission with powers to try judges as per laws applicable to ordinary citizens and with double the
severity in punishments. Meanwhile what about all those quasi judicial organisations which are as bad or worse than the information commissions and even the courts? Don’t you think that a National Quasi Judicial Appointments Commission and a National Quasi Judicial Accountability Commission are equally needed and feasible?

I will sign off for now because when I start on this subject of transparency and accountabilty in government the volume could exceed Mahabharath and Ramayan put together. There are some blogs posted at http://raviforjustice.blogspot.in dealing with subjects ranging from ‘Who will judge the judges?‘ to ‘Will the army chief get justice?‘ and ‘Fraud in governance and redressal of public grievances‘ to ‘ RTI Act-Shailesh Gandhi and Schopenhauer's Law of Entropy‘ and ‘ RTIA-Exposing the Idiots and Traitors amoung Public Servants‘ to ‘ For whom the Soldiers sacrifice their Lives And Lifes…‘. You may like to peruse them.

To conclude, I only hope that this letter will be put up to you. But I also know that I can get through to you without any babus coming between us. So please do not be surprised if I have to post this as a blog and tweet the URL to you.

Jai Hind!

Regards and best wishes,

429. Prof P Sudarshan The legal and Judicial system of India is a travesty of Justice and a betrayal of the constitution of the world's largest 'democracy' AND a republic, to boot. Judges, akin to Caesar's wife, ought to be above reproach. By this measure Indian Judges AND Chief Justices of India have betrayed India. Judicial activism seems to be a reactive response (far from proactive), more as a cover for gross judicial failure since Independance. Reforms have to proceed from the TOP, not the bottom. Is there any hope for the Indian Judicial system to redeem itself from the present abysmal depths to which it has volutarily, happily descended, as a cohort of treachery, corruptrion & nepotism? Remember, Revolutions including violent ones like the French Revolutions, DONT start from the TOP....they are initiated by the frustrations of repressed masses....a mere 1.2 billion in India, that is Bharat!  E42 'MANISH', 10 Convent Rd, Bangalore 560025

312. Krishnaraj Rao I concur that the recommended changes are urgent, as the judiciary has become a law unto itself and needs to be severely reigned in. The only justification for the judiciary to exist is if it truly gives timely and affordable justice to the common man, and deters the mighty from trampling over their rights. Currently, such is not the case. Currently, the justice of courts is unaffordable and unavailable to the common man.

251. Syed Tanveeruddin The state of law and order is so appalling mainly because of the failure of our justice delivery system presided over by the judiciary. And the judiciary is failing us with impunity because there is no accountability, no check. And there will be no legislation to check them because most of our law-makers are themselves facing trials in various courts and depending on the whims and fancies of the judges to get away scot free. A law is on the anvil-the judges accountability bill- but it is illogical to trust judges to judge themselves. If that is so, why should the legislators and bureaucrats be dragged to courts? Shouldn't they also have laws to dispose of the cases against them, themselves? It is imperative to have a jury outside the judiciary, with of course a law-qualified member to guide the proceedings, to judge judges and the punishment should be at least twice severe as for ordinary citizens.

No body can deny to the prevailing discriminatory judicial system in India. The Hon’ble court concerned may verbally utter harsh language in the matter against the functionaries of government for newspaper headlines only otherwise the net result would never be against the unlawful and inhuman actions of the State machinery. For the reason, every criminal and bad character likes to pose as a politician considering himself fully protected as a part of State.

While judges can pass 'strictures' against anyone while delivering judgements, no one can pass any against them, except by the judges of a superior court and you can do nothing to a supreme court judge except to impeach him. In most of the cases the delay in disposal of cases can be attributed to the judges alone. The increase in the incidents of extra judicial recourse by people is due this delay in delivery of judgement. There is a strong case for the judges to be judged on their performance and made accountable. Coming to the final conclusion I feel that the Reforms are an absolute necessity.

Can our experts of judiciary system find some way by which a normal and poor people can get justice without fearing the earlier mentioned power. Only then we can call India a truely Democratic country other wise it is a Democratic on paper and books only. It is late but not the end. Our Judiciary system must change.

They are unquesitonable. Their Character and conductmust be absolutely above board Unfortunately we do no have that kind of quality.

149. Kush Singh This commission will come into being soon if we keep at it but it will be in a weakened form as the ruling elite have had a good time for decades now. The balance of power will shift slowly or speedily depending on how civil society gives more and more importance to the concept of governance and its relation to daily life. Unless and until Indian society gives paramount importance to governance, and particpates in decision making process and is ever vigilant, misgovernance (or corruption ) will not be tackled. We need to understand why we are failing in our quality of life by going deeper into an analysis and then action mode. The problem starts with us and not the other way round. I urge all the petitioners to find their areas of interest and join hands with likeminded NGOs and civil society movements in their own way but be regular and committed to action, however small.

      exception to it. It is an knowledge era. In fact in both the other arms of
      the Governance viz. Legislature & Executive , there is no bar of one's
      academic background , in the same way Judiciary too should be open it's
      door to persons having diverse educational background viz humanaties ,
      scince , engineering , medicine etc. Implementing this suggestion will
      really make Judiciary more effective. After all Justice can only be
      imparted by having a keen insight of different aspects of the modern life.
      Above all there should be introduction of the test of morality fand
      sensitivity for all the public posts. We should work in the first place
      for reconciliation among the litigants rather than the fight of ego. No of
      Judges should also be increased, as in the suggested scheme , The
      Judiciary is well eqipped to deal with all the technicalities inhouse, it
      can really look forward to true independence.People's faith in the

      104.Brigadier Y S Rao ( RETD)Firstly, the President need not consult the
      chief justice in selecting a prominent citizen. Secondly, a time limit
      should also be put for disposing of the legal suits, say 2 or at the most,
      3 years. I have seen court cases which dragged on endlessly for decades
      till the financially weaker party wears out . Any delay, in finalising a
      case, should adversely reflect on the advancement of the judge.If he
      continously indulges in such delays, a provision should be catered for his
      removal with no permission to practise anywhere. Further, the advocates,
      of both the parties, should be disqualified from practising for a certain
      period- atleast for the period taken beyond 2 years. Moreover, the
      advocates should also be fined. Otherwise, under one pretext or the other,
      these advocates, working hand in glove with each other, seek adjournment,
      and judges are only eager to grant them, much to the dismay and
      inconvenience of the parties involved. This aspect has , regrettably not

      the accused or acquittal; (2) If indicted, it must initiate formal
      investigations+fair trial under the NJC; (3A) For civil or criminal
      offenses committed by the accused, NJC must initiate civil/criminal
      proceedings in the Supreme Court with same rights/punishments as any other
      citizen; (3B) For judicial offenses not covered by civil or criminal code
      or upon conviction under 3A, the NJC may recommend resignation, failing
      which must submit its proceedings to the Parliament to initiate
      impeachment proceedings. The NJC must communicate its findings back to the

      18.RajgopalWhile judges can pass 'strictures' against anyone while
      delivering judgements, no one can pass any against them, except by the
      judges of a superior court and you can do nothing to a supreme court judge
      except to impeach him. In many cases the delay in disposal of cases can be
      attributed to the judges alone. The increase in the incidents of extra
      judicial recourse by people is due this delay in delivery of judgement.
      There is a strong case for the judges to be judged on their performance
      and made accountable.
