the instruments of darkness

" few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an oppertunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within"

- stephen jay gould

i got this from an article in a recent issue of nature where in the author ben barres has quoted it in some other context and i thought it eminently fits into my situation; i have not read stephen gould.

amongst the many books my esteemed teachers of la bourdonnais college, mahe had given me for free, one was "the constitution of india with comments and criticism". that time i was so obsessed with science, it never occurred to me to go through the book - of course i was not aware of the significance of the book then. recently i purchased a copy of the constitution of india on my own for i had to clarify certain points. and here i have quoted extensively from the author word for word.

fundamental rights

i find that the constitution of india promises its citizens certain basic rights, his fundamental rights as a citizen of a supposed to be free nation. these rights are so sacrosanct they cannot be taken away by any law enacted by the government or even by legislation brought about by the parliament.

i am also supposed to be a citizen of this country - at least i have been paying taxes till last year. but my fundamental rights, my right to live with human dignity, my right to privacy, my right to life and liberty, every one of them is being trampled upon with impunity!

the crowning glory of it all is that the culprits here are a criminal gang from the indian police and their hired thugs. the government established under the constitution pays them for doing things exactly contrary to what is written in the constitution!

perhaps the most important part of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the indian constitution is the right to life and personal liberty. right to lively-hood is an integral part of the right to life. but i have been sitting at home eating up my meagre savings, for more than one year now! it is not that i am not capable of doing any productive work; i am being prevented from doing so.

when the constitutional rights of a person are invaded with malicious intent the only recourse for the citizen is to approach the courts of justice and that was exactly what i did.

equality before law

the indian constitution assures its citizens another fundamental right - equality before law; and assurance of a fair trial is the first imperative of the dispensation of justice.

what i understand by the above is that when i file a petition alleging police harrassment, not only the police man but i also will be heard before taking a decision. it is not that the police man, the alleged perpetrator of a crime (or his lawyer for that matter) whispers something in the ear of the judge and the whole case is decided on the basis of that. but unfortunately that was exactly what happened in my case.

i have absolutely no idea what transpired between the judge and the police man's lawyer on that day and there was no way i could have countered their arguement.
is this dispensation of justice? is this what is known as equality before law?

incidentally the judgement specifically mentions the government pleader assuring the court that there is no harrassment. is she supposed to tell the court - yes, my client is harrassing him? my word, what fantastic logic!

was the above instance just an aberration ? i wish it were; but i dont think it is. i will tell you of another instance.

the bloody mess

i was dragged in to a long-drawn-out litigation with the medical education authorities, a series of three writ petitions on the same matter a some what detailed account of which is available on the net.

for the first case i had hired the services of a lawyer and it was decided in my favour.

the second case i pleaded myself and won.

the third and last one, a sequel to the second was also presented by me and was admitted. incidentally my brief case with the case files was found missing minutes before i was to present the case, and that was the first and the last time my briefcase ever did a disappearing trick!

the first two cases were just preliminaries and not of much significance while the third one was of the deepest consequence. a decision one way or other had to be taken; but this decision as far as my information goes never came.

dirty tricks

once i got the third petition admitted, foul play started in right earnest!

the notice to the parties disappeared for over three months. when i mentioned it in the court the retort was that for something to disappear, it has to appear first; words of wisdom again!

the counter affidavit once it got filed was never delivered to me and i had a difficult time getting a copy. i persisted in spite of all the dirty tricks and got things moving.

Cheating
with a capital "C"

the hearing was fixed for 25 sep 04. but when i reached the court on that day i was told that the case had already been called on 24th.

even if there was some sort of an emergency the case could have been postponed and NOT preponed. but in that case i would have come to know of it when i come to the court on 25th and i will again be there on the next due date. by preponing it, that too to the previous day, it was made doubly sure that i am not anywhere near the court when the case was called.

if an ordinary mortal does such a thing what do you call it? yes, you are right; cheating, with a capital C.

later i was told that the case has gone to the chief justice and i had a difficult time getting the case listed again. i made more than seven trips to ernakulam in the hope of my case being called and wasted whole days waiting in the veranda's of the court. but the authorities had other ideas - nobody was ready to hear the case.

afterwards my case ended up in the monthly list. that means no specific date is fixed but there is a theoretical possibility it could come up on any day and to avoid missing the case i have to be in the court on all days till it is called. this was not physically possible. (i asked a young lawyer and he said it might come up after a year or so!) also, by that time i had already retired from service and ultimately i had to give up on the case.

the indian gestapo

i dont know what exactly happened in september 2004, but can only make a guess. and my guesses are usually right. though the case is against the dme the actual adversary is a criminal gang from the indian police.

it is a police man who calls himself cbi "officer" and his stooges from the local spy net works. i never had any problems with the hod of physiology till the police man who calls himself cbi "officer" had cultivated his contacts in the department and had dug in! these are trained crooks and they are choosen for the particular job for their spy like qualities - unscrupulous and without any morals.

the spies have learned the hard way that i am a tough customer and in a straight fight they are going to be no where. so they are fighting a proxy war through their pimps in the various government departments and amongst the locals.

the pig service is at their wits end as to how to stop me from exposing their nefarious activities which could land them in serious trouble provided the judiciary takes cognizance of it. an effort is on to neutralize me by hook or crook.

they have a useful ally in their pimps in the medical college thiruvananthapuram, who are thorough "professionals", who will do anything for material benefits. in this case the spies find the oppertunity of (more than) a life time to wash their hands clean.

incidentally i have pointed out that one of the documents at least presented to the court and certified by the dme as true copy was a fake.

in the confidential report on me the reporting officer had put one item in two columns - half in one column and the other half in another. the reviewing officer the then princial medical college trivandrum had later changed it in his own hand and put it in one column only. this alteration is not seen in the document presented to the court. in effect this means presenting a false cooked document in the court. this issue would definitely have come up if i had been there at the hearing.

it is one of the many pages in a particular document that has been changed. the first and last page had my signatures or my writings and so could not be altered but they could do anything with the pages in between and they did. it never occurred to them that i would remember it and point it out. it is not just like that i call people unscrupulous.

this particular alteration does not change the scenario of the case much. however, the moral of the story is that if they could fake one document they could have faked the others as well; and what was presented to the court were "doctored" documents!

perjury is supposed to be a serious offence; and could be the concerned official had realised this and was scampering for cover.

Active manipulations

the pigs know from their previous encounters that as long as i am there to plead my case there is no chance of their winning and had to stop me from doing so at any cost.

the preponement of the hearing was not an accident but a result of active manipulation. i feel sorry for the concerned authorities; they probably had their own compulsions. it looks that the indian-gestapo can also dictate terms to any one.

it is quite likely that the sudden pre-ponement of the case to a previous day 24, rather than 25 was a crooked move to ensure that the unscrupulous government pleader could say whatever she wanted unopposed and that could be the reason why the case reached the cj.

there has been celebrations all around. by the anal chaarans and their pimps since. it is quiet possible that once i stopped going to the courts, the case was taken up on a date convenient to the opposite party. the policemen could have manufactured "relatives" promising them a share in the booty and got them on his side. whatever "arguement" made by the policeman's lawyer could probably have been accepted as solemn truth and a decision made on the basis of that.

a prejudiced partisan statement

one final word - if at all a decision on any issue pertaining to me, has been made without hearing me, that is not a judgement, but a prejudiced partisan statement and is not legally or morally binding on me.

another thing is that if any body is under an illusion that they can manufacture "relatives" and get them do the dirty work on behalf of the culprits on the basis of a prejudiced statement made by a partisan person, it is because they are living in "paradise" - the fools' paradise. no F*$%^&# "relative" is going to meddle in my affairs - i will see to that.

you will have to face me if not today, tomorrow. and i am going to see that it happens at the earliest. the basic idea of creating this page is just that;

the end justifies the means.

L. B. College

that way my teachers there real stalwarts and every action of theirs had a purpose. i remember being presented another book, this time racine's andromaque ( sorry, i do not know the spelling! - but i know who she is) knowing fully well that i dont know french. but i am afraid i did not rise up to the challenge of reading racine in original - i never learnt french in spite of this indirect coaxing.

when the going gets tough

"you are more of a lawyer than a doctor" that was the comment by a major general of the indian army after he had gone through my pleading. we were both on deputation with a para military set up (which comes under the MOH - i dont mean meat on hoof!)in the north east then.

but to appreciate that you have to be a gentleman and not a partisan.

incidentally general saab knew nothing about my doctoring for we were posted in two different corners of the north east.

clalrification

when i talk about the police man's pimps i am talking exclusively of a small minority of people in the establishment who has been doing the dirty on me at the behest of the anal chaarans of the indian police. i am aware that these pimps could not go the distance many a time because of objections from others. in fact i remember one hod of physiology lamenting that most of the heads of departments, mainly in the clinical side, are my contemporaries (contemporary was exactly the word she used ) and will not do any thing to harm me and they have a problem that way.

and this is true of other establishments as well, like, say, the telecom company. i have been dealing with them earlier also, before i became a "wanted" man and some of them i know are very fine people.

it could be possible the actual culprits are enjoying life some where else and others are caught in the cross fire; i cant help it.

the fact is that try however hard i may, the pimps do not come out into the open and there is no way i can target them directly.
