Subject: Re: [JAGO-INDIA] Re: Lets Fight Corruption In Judiciary- Law Ministers Interview
Dear Pankaj Mody,
If you kindly get me the e-mail address of our President, without any
hesitation, I shall send this mail to him in my name supporting your cause.
It is quite possible that your petition to the President would not have
reached him. He is a truthful warm hearted person and he is for removing the
corruption. With this in mind,t he educates the children of fomative age
with whenever he gets an opportunity.
Like me there would be many people who would take the same course of action.
I feel that a gist of the case matter will have to be included - from your
appeal 176/03 in connection with your civil suit 5827/01- in your mail as
well as the other mails to follow from others.

Subject: PROTECTING WHISTLEBLOWERS FOR EXPOSING FRAUDS
From: P Mody
EMAIL ID: modypan4@y...
Friends,
Subject: Indian Express front page article on 6-4-04 , How to protect
Dubeys? Get back in a week with your ideas: SC tells the Solicitor
General.
http://www.indianexpress.com/full story.php?content_id=44515
1. This is in reference to above front page article in Indian
Express on 6-4-04 for protecting whistleblowers and Supreme court
inviting suggestions within a week from 5th April . Similar article
has appeared in Times of India, The Hindu. The Asian Age, The Free
Press Journal , etc..
2. I am writing this letter in view of my telegram to CJI on 7-3-
04 seeking protection and justice in view of my act of whistle
blowing to expose banking fraud as well as corruption in the income
tax department and harassment from the department for using methods
of coercion to collect taxes so as to silence me. You can view the
text of telegram vide my posting 1986 and the same came be viewed on
my site http://blogs.sify.com/mody04 .I earnestly request all of you
to have look at this site so that one can get glimpse of background
including the letter addressed to the President of India and various
articles that appeared in news papers so as to
get a proper perspective on the issues and need for urgency as well
as bias for
action.
3. I would narrate the functioning of the people in power by a
classic famous story :-
Who is accountable and responsible ?
Ø This is a story about four people named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY,
ANYBODY and NOBODY.
Ø There was an important job to be done and EVERYBODY was sure
that SOMEBODY would do it.
Ø ANYBODY could have done it , but NOBODY did it.
Ø SOMEBODY got angry about this, because it was EVERYBODY'S
job.
Ø EVERYBODY thought could do it, but NOBODY realized that
EVERYBODY would not do it.
Ø It ended up that EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY when NOBODY did
what ANYBODY could have done!!!
4. Nothing is more important than taking initiative, integrity,
commitment , reliability and owning up responsibility. This is what
is expected of leaders and people holding powerful positions.
5. I do not have any means to ascertain whether my telegram and
letter has reached to the desk of the Honorable Chief Justice of
India , Shri V.N.Khare and has been read by him. When telegram was
sent one month back it has to be treated as SOS signal and also to
draw personal attention. The only conclusion I can draw is that
whistleblowers are not going to be respected and protected even by
the Supreme Court and the responsibility is going to be passed on to
others.
.
6. I feel under the circumstances that only media can draw the
attention of the CJI , that such telegram was sent and there is need
for urgent action.
7. No laws can ever be effective , unless there is true
longing to protect and provide true justice. I have experienced that
the judiciary in Gujarat High Court do not listen to the
whistleblowers even when one is trying to send the message across
directly because influential advocates shield the bank robbers and
even the advocates are protected by the Bar Councils and the
chartered accountants are are protected by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants and the large tax evaders are protected by the
Income tax department, while the senior tax officials are protected
by toothless Central Vigilance Commission and in the process ,
whistleblower like me is harassed by being subjected for police
remand facing criminal cases and the income tax department use
methods of coercion to levy taxes without giving justification and
causing disruption in personal life.
8. The way judges in Gujarat High Court passes orders is
discussed in front page article in Indian Express on 03-04-04 titled
as " Accused of fudging, Gujarat govt says don't ask till
polls"
URL: http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=44324
· Salve commented that Justice of the Gujarat High Court
granted bail stating " The parties do not press for reasoned
order.
Considering the submissions made on behalf of the parties, and having
regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the bail
application is allowed and applicants are ordered to be released on
bail."
· Any common citizen would expect reasoned orders even when it
is not pressed by the parties and would expect that the facts and
circumstances are narrated in detail by the justice so that one can
understand that the justice has comprehended and covered all the
issues instead of summarily referring "having regard to the facts
and
circumstances of the case" and the justice is expected to insist
various affidavits from the parties concerned.
· This is how the guilty ones get away and this has been my
personal experience when I appeared in the Gujarat High Court as
party in person. The justice passed summary orders Heard. No grounds
for interference is made out. Hence dismissed . The justice does not
insist for written affidavits from the defendants nor do they ask any
question nor do they narrate what they have comprehended and the
judges behave irresponsibly with a view to save great bank robbers
and the advocates who are hand in glove to bury the facts. Can any
one expect true justice and protection to whistleblowers who expose
bank frauds , tax evasion ,scandals, corruption, etc.
· There is also Indian Express editorial on Bad Counsel which
appeared on 5-4-04 which indicates seriousness. A similar editorial
on Judiciary has also appeared in Time of India too. I shall try to
put additional relevant articles on my site.
9. One is already familiar with various laws passed from time
to time by the government but its efficacy gets nullified on account
of inefficient and ineffective, blind , non receptive judiciary
to expose the large mischief makers for the reasons best known to
them.
10. There has to be intense, focused ,loud, persistent dialogue
preferably before the elections where by the people in power lose
their sleep. One can draw insight from water can evaporate only when
the temperature reaches 100degrees centigrade and as long as such
temperature is not reached , the desired results are not going to be
achieved. All of us have to become like mosquitoes constantly
buzzing their ears so that they lose sleep and their feel good factor
has to be converted into a situation so that having position of
power and authority is not going to remain a bed of roses but bed
of thorns..
11. All of us can take hint from Kal Kare So AAJ Kar, Aaj kare So
Aab, Pal Pal Avsar Jaat Hai , Fir Karego Kab? I most humbly urge all
the friends to take initiative to refer the contents of my telegram
to the CJI to various news papers so as to move and shake the
President and the judiciary . I know that I am facing grave risk
for my self and in the process of I might be consumed. . This is the
most opportune time to obtain radical transformation.
12. My special circumstances of saving my family has forced me
to take attitude and position of a man getting into the arena and
face all risks and I have given up any possibility of protection
from the Government of India including the President of India and the
Chief Justice of Supreme Court of India. As I have not received any
response from them. Only public figures enjoy the facility of
protection. This is stark reality. Even thousands of whistleblowers
like Dubeys blow a whistle and sacrifice their lives- there is no
possibility of expecting real empathy.
13. I have surrendered to God and mentally decided to accept all
the consequences. It is for this reason that I need your support
that the challenges and my fight reaches the corridors of power. None
of you would get bruised. It is I who would get bruised , if at all.
So that once and for all fixing of the accountability and
responsibility issue of protecting the other whistleblowers get
finalized while even the connected bureaucrats, advocates and
members of judiciary do not get spared. It is possible that the Chief
Justice of Supreme Court and the President of India are genuinely
concerned but as they do not have personal live experience that they
do not understand how to tackle the issue. I am willing to share my
experiences for formulating a proper strategy for protecting
whistleblowers. The only snag is that I can do it in Ahmedabad and
not In Delhi because I do not have financial resources left even to
fight my own case.
14. May I urge you all friends , that as the Supreme court has
called for ways and means of protecting the whistleblowers in a
week from April 5th , the exposure of telegram sent by me requires
your urgent action. I feel that exposing the contents of my telegram
to CJI on 7-3-04 in media in context of the story narrated above ,
one needs to review whether the judiciary really wants to protect the
lives of Whistleblowers and expose the guilty I have given up any
expectation from the government to protect the lives of whistleblower
like me but I would like to play a effective role so that other
whistleblowers do not get scared of blowing a whistle . Transparency
is my only safety so that I do not get strangulated my people in
power. I have already had taste of five day police remand as well as
means of coercion used by the income tax department to recover taxes
from my family without proper explanation and as to how the
judiciary functions for people who do not have resources to fight the
giant bank robbers . The best thing is to embrace vulnerability out
in open. All I need is your active support to blow a whistle to
media by writing to all the news papers such as Indian Express,
Times of India, Free Press Journal, The Asian Age, The Hindu where
the above referred article for protecting whistleblowers have come. I
feel that no law would be effective unless the judiciary , the
President Of India, the Finance Ministry, The members of Parliament ,
Central Vigilance Commission are made accountable and responsible
too. Please refer my site http://blogs.sify.com/mody04. I would
continue placing connected information. Please offer your comments.
15. Gibran has presented wisdom in The Prophet commenting on
Laws. He says, You delight laying down laws, Yet you delight more in
breaking them. Like children playing the ocean who build sand towers
with constancy and then destroy them. with laughter …."
16. As a concluding remark, for making the people in power
accountable and responsible refer this matter as well as story to
media as well as the President of India so as to create deep impact
to change the way the bureaucracy functions. This is just a live
example.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,

modys reactions on sucheta article on toothless cvc vide message 447 on 10-2-04
From: mody
Date: Tue Feb 10, 2004 2:32 pm
Subject: sucheta dalal's article of toothless central vigilance commission
Article by Sucheta Dalal in Indian Express
Toothless CVC? (8 Feb)
If Satyendra Dubey paid with his life, here is another example of how
whistleblowers continue to be victimised, even when they are backed by a strong
officers’ union and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) verifies and confirms
the charges levelled by them. One such sufferer is M. K. Tyagi, the chief
manager of Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC) marketing division. In the year 2000,
this IIT alumnus alleged that his bosses had shown undue favours to
Bellary-based Sri Rayalseema Alkalies and Allies Chemicals for supply of fuels
(FO/LSH/HSD), causing considerable financial losses to the corporation. Instead
of investigating the charge, IOC charge-sheeted Tyagi for making false claims
and harassed him. In June 2002, he complained to the CVC. In its December 2003
report, the CVC has listed Tyagi’s seniors among three IOC officers against whom
it has recommended major penalty. However, over a month after the report, IOC
has neither initiated any ‘major’ action against the indicted
officials, nor withdrawn the chargesheet against Tyagi. The Indian Oil
Officers’ Association too has demanded that the management should stop harassing
Tyagi, but that too has had no effect. The whistleblower now finds that the CVC
is a toothless body whose recommendations can simply be ignored. In the absence
of a powerful Whistleblowers’ Act, it is no wonder that people hesitate to blow
the whistle even on the most rampant corruption.
appeal from p s mody in relation to above article by sucheta dalal
Dated 10-2-2004
friends,
Special message for Sucheta Dalal
I shall begin with a Quote from speech of William Lloyd Garrison:-
“On this subject, I do not wish to think,
or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire,
to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hand
of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire
into which it has fallen; -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like
the present. I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I
will not retreat a single inch -- AND I WILL BE HEARD.”
This is how I (Mody) as a writer feels, experiences in personal life in
relation to the toothless Central Vigilance Commission” This letter is also my
whistle even though it may be feeble, I hope that it gets amplified a thousand
times.
This refers to the article regarding toothless Central Vigilance Commission
which appeared on Sunday 8-02-2004 in Indian Express.
I am furnishing extract of complaint letter against two directors general of
Income tax –Investigation addressed to Central Vigilance Commission. When I had
brought the matter concerning tax evasion to their knowledge by group connected
with Core HealthCare Group against whom Great Bank Robbery article appeared in
Indian Express on 7-12-2002.
Not only did CVC acted but the CBDT , their member investigation and the new
Director Generals – Mr. Roongta and then current Mr.U. P.Singh shielded the
group while harassing the undersigned by raising huge tax demands. This is how
they conduct the inquiry.
Not only CVC is toothless, the entire government along with the top officials of
the income tax department are cowards, spineless, corrupt and toothless. When
Mr. Jashwant Singh goes to Kandhhar to hand over terrorists in view of plane
hijacked. What one can expect.
I hope that a message is sent to young people not to marry or to stop having
children or move to other countires . I have experienced the suffering so much
in my personal life , that I feel helpless – to save my wife and my children
from harassment. I am in a similar situation of a plight of a woman in movie
ROJA who wanted to save her husband fallen in the hands of terrorists.
There is no receptivity to listen. All of us are in a similar situation of
concentration camp of Germany. There they were executed in gas chambers, here in
our country we are being slowly poisoned – and we do not realize that , we are
being poisoned.
It is the media who needs to play vital role in waking up people from deep
slumber and ask the government to furnish concrete steps on all fronts. When ,
a woman like Ms Indira Gandhi could galvanize the functioning during emergency ,
it is necessary that the emotions of the people are stirred up for future
safety of our children..
Our elderly politicians has not learnt lessons of Mahabharata- Bhisma
indifferent to draupadis being disrobed, Dhristrashtra remaining blind and
Gandhari playing blind. The way Lord Krishna – felt that he was not able to
change the mind of Duryodhana on account of his pride . On account of lessons of
Gita given by him, Lord Krishna wants each of the citizens of the country to
take gandiv to weed out corruption in the country. Only strong persons like you
who can understand various issues , who can powerfully communicate thoughts can
make a change. Otherwise every family’s HOUSE IS ON FIRE whether he is in
power or not in power. The warrants on the President of the country and on the
Chief Justice is classic case. The surprising thing is that the Supreme Court of
India lacks the will to pull up various judges of Gujarat High Court by
issuing notices to each one of them As long as such drastic and radical steps
are not taken, the judiciary are pawns to the bureaucrats,
politicians, lawyers , chartered accountants. Only when several judges of
supreme court suffer the pain of victimization in their own personal families
while in power then only a true understanding to take radical steps would
arise. Not till then. Personal grief and loss is perquisite to change to become
a compassionate being . These days are not too far. What has our Prime minister
to loose , , what has jaylalita to lose, what has narendra modi to lose as they
do not have personal family and are safe on account of physical security
available to them. They do not have any personal families at all to under stand
pain and suffering of common people. It is the same reason that Bhisma- a
bachelor , who played indifferent to woes of draupadi. These are the people who
lack sensitivity to touch inner plight of common people.
On this Sunday , deputy prime minister advani came in my neighborhood to open
a free medical camp. Entire administration was at his service, all the
litter/garbage was removed (which normally did not happen) and water tankers
appeared to sprinkle water on the ground. For saving of one or two lakhs , sum
exceeding one crore must have been used up in a day .
When the Prime minister who being captain of the ship gets down first from the
ship even before the destination has been reached- shows his own lack of
confidence of the performance and his effectiveness that he chooses to prepone
the elections What can one expect from him except powerful speeches. The
bureaucracy understand and feel the weaknesses of their masters.
Your level of consciousness and understanding is way above all of us as we see
it in your columns . You have the flair of communicating and by God’s grace ,
you are close to media. to carry it persuasively. All it needs is focus,
persistence and intensity as described under.
When the sun rays are made to pass through lens, then only the sun rays has the
capacity to burn away a dry leaf. Not before. What is needed is persistent and
intensified focus of one issue at a time with a total sense of urgency.
Master sitting in a chariot is the one who instructs the sarthi where to go,
and if he does not take him to the desired destination, he takes over as sarthi
and uses reigns to give directons and uses whip if the horses do not follow the
instructions.
This is what is expected of Our respected President of India who has compassion
and sensitivity to children and citizens of the country and the awareness of
root problem of corruption. He has to personally see that leaking pipes are
replaced all along. He has the experience of being a mission director and he
believes in frugality and he has a sensitive heart of Lord Krishna to
understand the feelings of Draupadi who is being stripped by Dushashana and to
top it all he does not have any personal motive or axe to grind. He has
personally experienced that the warrants can be issued against him, that his own
security force is involved in raping.
All we need to do is request our beloved President , that as a Supreme
Commander of Internal chaos in the country , he takes a direct charge, he opens
a war office to fight corruption equipping it as a call centre , having
facilites of fax, telephone numbers and young people. These young people would
attend to email and faxes, on authority of the President of the country , they
send out faxes/ post for fast response followed up by direct and unfiltered
communication of our dear president by phone calls in case the concerned
officer does not respond or behaves indifferently or dodges the issue. . All he
has to do is to punish the person. Such direct action has creating an impact of
atleast 1000 times. This is the way amabani functioned or the way Indira
functioned during emergency. He would not be able to accomplish any thing if he
depends on sansad members. As a mission director , he would understand that too
many cooks spoil the broth. The way Chanaykya did not move out of
his hut, he can remain in his residential house and can change course of entire
nation with help of TV camera. being installed in all the courts, police
stations through out the country. The fear of being watched by some one would
make the administrators, lawyers and the judges to behave properly.
Only then he would be worthy of love of children that he cares otherwise he
will be despised by the same children whose ambitions have been aroused as they
would be one day frustrated on account of lack of vision of their fathers and
forefathers.
Only you can make them see differently. We need to focus on the roots and not
on the leaves to change the system. CVC is just like one of the leaves not a
root. We have to provide water to the roots so that the flowers and fruit
blossoms.By taking care of one leaf of CVC or CBI , the tree is not going to
bear flowers or fruits. This is my personal experience.
Besides, all of these is needed to be changed before the elections. That is
trump card for common people – so that the politicians do not run away with
empty promises. They have to be made to slog , to sweat like what we saw in
Lawrence of Arabia to win the hearts of people. These are the kinds of people
who are being needed by the country. They may play a small role but they deliver
what is being needed.
Otherwise the Titanic moving at high speed is heading towards an iceberg not
knowing that nine tenths is concealed underneath while the people may rejoice
being on Titanic for time being, not knowing what future has been stored for
them. All of us are on aboard this Titanic. I have experienced it in my life, I
was deaf, dumb and blind that I did not realize and assimilate the message when
I saw it when the movie was released in the country.
The words of director/producer of Titanic are “ Titanic is not just a myth, a
parable, a metaphor for the ills of mankind. It is also a story of faith,
courage, sacrifice and above all else, love.”
We are aboard such leaking Titanic- Can Our Finance Minister and experienced in
Defence studies, can save us from such leaking Titanic of government
administration. The way he saved life of terrorists and the passengers on flight
to Kandhar? Or he wants us to enjoy Christmas party to rejoice and drink –feel
good factor being served to us aboard the Titanic. Even in war, the supreme
commander inspects his troops. Has he ever been to various incometax
departments and the excise department and had felt the voices of common people.
This is what needs to be done.
All of us have to ignite our own minds and spread the message , the way our
beloved President refers in his book. And we the citizens need to ask ourselves
ask not what country can do for you, ask what we the citizens can do for our
country by making the bureaucrats and the politicians offer their blood and
sweat for the country to save the nation. This is what Kennedy and Churchill not
as politicians in power would have said but would have uttered these same words
if they were ordinary citizens of the country.
All of us need to make such plea to our current President of India who is our
Lord Krishna, like draupadi to Lord Krishna – Only he has the receptivity and
understanding to listen. He is our only savior and hope of the nation who can
do true inner introspection without any ulterior motive. Fortunately, he is our
Bhismahpitamah who understands Bhisma of Kurkshetra and plight of Arjun and
rebirth of Lord Krishna.
All of them would be angry on such bitter comment , when we utter such harsh
words but still we have to persist to change their hearts. Music can be played
on an instrument only if the strings are pulled in opposite ends adequately and
then tied. Not otherwise.
One needs only one drop of curd to set the milk to curd to extract ghee. Even
if we imagine ourselves to be one such single drop of curd , it is
sufficient enough to make impact for lives of our children to enjoy taste of
such ghee if not us.
Believe me, in case our dear President directly intervenes in a case
described as under, opening his third eye, his mission is successful.
Fortunately, even the Chief Justice of Supreme Court has experienced of
mischief of meghaninagar in Ahmedabad. This can be just a beginning to make
sweeping changes in the revenue department for overall benefit of the country. I
may become a guniepig and a target and be consumed in the process. I am willing
to take such risk even if I may be consumed like a common person like Jack-
Leonardo of Titanic who freezes to death but can be hope for life to millions
of Rose to survive and quench their thirst of real life.
Let this start with the undersigned . All I need is your support to blow
whistle –loudly, persistently so that it can be heard finally. It may not help
me or my family but I am damn sure that it will create an impact a change for
others.
Yours sincerely,
P S Mody

Respected Sir,
SUBJECT: COMPLAINT AGAINST DISLOYAL OFFICERS OF
OFFICERS OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT OF
AHMEDABAD.
1) MY REF LETTER TO I.T. DEPT: 18-6-1999 (ENCL)
2) REF LETTER FROM DEPT: DG/AHD/INV/29/99-2000 DATED
I am enclosing copies of important letters addressed to various officials of
Income Tax Department in Ahmedabad and I have reason to believe that persons
referred in para 2 are dishonest, disloyal and their professional conduct is
extremely doubtful. Their attitude is aptly described in my letter dated
2-7-2001. On account of alleged illegal acquisition of immoveable property by
Dhanyushya belonging to Rupmanglam and Flovin and supported by interim findings
as per the letter dated 19-9-2000 by Mr. C.M.Betgiri, what prevented him to take
prompt action against Dhanyuhsya in the interest of revenue and suspending the
auditors who play major role in frauds shaking the foundations of trust in the
country. This has to be seen in light of speedy action against Andersons as
audit firm in case of Enron and the swiftness with which the American Government
has acted without granting any favour to the top audit firm.
I humbly request you to conduct inquiries on (A) Mr. C.M.Betgiri in his capacity
as Director General-INVESTIGATION and Chief Commissioner of Income Tax
(currently promoted Member CBDT, (B) Mr. V.D. WAKHARKAR, in his capacity as
Director General OF INVESTIGATION, (C) Mr. D.N. Kar, in his capacity as ADI Unit
1(4) (D) Mr. N.M. Parmar., Ward 11(2).
I am giving reasons for conducting probe against erring officials of the Income
tax department in Ahmedabad as under:-
How come Mr. D, N. Kar, ADI UNIT 1(4) did not make efforts to collect all the
necessary basic evidence from Dhanyushya, Mr. Jalundhwala, Mr. H. Kashiparekh by
calling for transfer deeds, minute book records, valuation report for transfer
of shares,especially when Dhanyuhsya b/s 96/97 did not reflect ownership of
shares belonging to my family, when he was investigating the case from March
1998 till March 1999 and also record their statement thereafter for various
explanation.
Why Mr. C.M. Betgiri(Director General of Income Tax-Investigation) on receipt of
my letter dated 18-6-1999 did not provide adequate guidelines on contents of the
letter to the concerned DDIT so that DDIT can effectively carry out the
assignment and report findings to Mr. C.M. Betgiri within a month instead of
sending two additional reminders on 30-10-1999 and 23-02-2000.
How come Mr. C.M.Betgiri did not ask DDIT to summon Mr Kashiparekh, the auditor
of Rupmanglam and Flovin for valuation report on shares and record his statement
when he could easily assesss from Mr Kashiparekh’s reply annexed in my
letter dated 18-6-1999, that he was taking the department for a ride for not
giving report on ownership of the companies backed by evidence.
Based on interim findings on account of my recorded by DDIT Mr. R. Diwedi, on
10-5-2000 and the annexures provided as narrated in my letter dated 11-5-2000
and interim report available to Mr. Betgiri, why did he dump the responsibility
of further investigation to the assessing officers as stated in his letter dated
19-9-2000 addressed to the undersigned. How come Mr. C.M, Betgiri as DG expected
various assessing officers t take intiaitive and coordinate simultaneously with
other assessing officers to carry simultaneous investigation . reasonable time
limit.
the registered office of Rupmanglam under the signature of Mr.
Jalundhwala got transferred to Baroda address as per the ROC records.
How come Mr. V.D.Wakharkar, the new Director General of Income Tax,
-Investigation, did not review the decision of assignment to the assessing
officers in light of my letters dated 3-10-2000 and 23-10-2000, when a lay man
like me can understand the shortcomings. This shows that he was also in
collusion with Dhanyuhysa, Jalundhwala, Kashiparekh to avoid further
investigation. Incidently, Mr. Wakharkar was working under Mr. C.M.Betgiri.
Why Mr. Wakharkar was complacent to my further letters dated 30-10-2000,
27-11-2000 and telegrams dated 14-12-2001 and 4-1-2001 in light of my comments
on involvement of Global TRUST BANK FRAUD. highlighted through my letter
addressed on 2-7-2001 and copy of this letter marked to Director of
Investigation, Mr. Vijay Ranjan on 4-7-2001 Wakharkar, how come, in the
interest5 of revenue, the matter was not handled by the investigation department
for effectiveness.
Pursuant to my letter dated 26-7-2001 to the Investigation department ,
In view of notice issued on 31-5-2001, whether the notice was issued to harass
me. what are the findings by Mr. R.Nabar , J.C.I.T assessing Dhanyuhsya in
response to my letter dated 29-10-2001 and reminder letter dated 24-1-2002 and
whether he has collected necessary evidence and has taken any action in the
interest of revenue in view of illegal ownership of property owned by
Dhnayushya.
What prompted Mr. N.M.Parmar, ward 11(2) to carry reassessment based On
presumptions and did not bother to collect necessary evidence of ownership of
shares by interrogating J. Jalundhwala and the auditors of Rupmanglam,,m
Flovin and Dhanyushya by exercising his powers to visit their offices in case
they were not extending cooperation in interest of justice and fairness to me
and my family members by raising huge capital gains tax demand even when
Dhanyuhsya balance sheet 96/97 did not reflect the ownership of the shares and
reported to DDIT.
Why Mr. N.M.Parmar, has accepted identical valuation of shares alleged
I humbly request your Honour to seek findings, report and action taken report
From the Investigation department pursuant to annexures submitted on 10-5-2000
as narrated in my letter dated 11-5-2000 in light of commitment given vide
Sept 19-9-2000 by Mr. Betgiri pursuant to my letter dated 18-6-1999.
In case, no concrete findings been carried out by Mr. Betgiri and Mr.Wakharkar,
it is my humble request that present MEMBER-INVESTIGATION is called to furnish
the findings by collecting all necessary evidence including MINUTE book records
from Mr. Jalundhwala, auditors of Rupamanglam/Flovin and Dhanyuhysa immediately
on receipt of this letter. I have already written to present Director General of
Income Tax-Investigaqtion, Mr. Roongta on 23-1-2002 to take concrete steps to
recover tax from Dhanyuhysa and black list the auditors involved. This
information is necessary in the interest of revenue as well as natural justice
to me.
I would like to draw the attention that in the suit filed by me on Dhanyuhysa,
Jalundhwala, Core Health Care and Global Trust Bank, they have not been able to
produce evidence of ownership of the immoveable property and shares where they
have managed to avail term loan of Rs 12.5 crores.
I would appreciate that the present letter is acknowledged and complaint number
is assigned.
Yours sincerely,
P S Mody

Subject: sucheta dalal's article of toothless central vigilance commission
Article by Sucheta Dalal in Indian Express
Toothless CVC? (8 Feb)
If Satyendra Dubey paid with his life, here is another example of how
whistleblowers continue to be victimised, even when they are backed by a strong
officers’ union and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) verifies and confirms
the charges levelled by them. One such sufferer is M. K. Tyagi, the chief
manager of Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC) marketing division. In the year 2000,
this IIT alumnus alleged that his bosses had shown undue favours to
Bellary-based Sri Rayalseema Alkalies and Allies Chemicals for supply of fuels
(FO/LSH/HSD), causing considerable financial losses to the corporation. Instead
of investigating the charge, IOC charge-sheeted Tyagi for making false claims
and harassed him. In June 2002, he complained to the CVC. In its December 2003
report, the CVC has listed Tyagi’s seniors among three IOC officers against whom
it has recommended major penalty. However, over a month after the report, IOC
has neither initiated any ‘major’ action against the indicted
officials, nor withdrawn the chargesheet against Tyagi. The Indian Oil
Officers’ Association too has demanded that the management should stop harassing
Tyagi, but that too has had no effect. The whistleblower now finds that the CVC
is a toothless body whose recommendations can simply be ignored. In the absence
of a powerful Whistleblowers’ Act, it is no wonder that people hesitate to blow
the whistle even on the most rampant corruption.
appeal from p s mody in relation to above article by sucheta dalal
Dated 10-2-2004
friends,
Special message for Sucheta Dalal
I shall begin with a Quote from speech of William Lloyd Garrison:-
“On this subject, I do not wish to think,
or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire,
to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hand
of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire
into which it has fallen; -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like
the present. I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I
will not retreat a single inch -- AND I WILL BE HEARD.”
This is how I (Mody) as a writer feels, experiences in personal life in
relation to the toothless Central Vigilance Commission” This letter is also my
whistle even though it may be feeble, I hope that it gets amplified a thousand
times.
This refers to the article regarding toothless Central Vigilance Commission
which appeared on Sunday 8-02-2004 in Indian Express.
I am furnishing extract of complaint letter against two directors general of
Income tax –Investigation addressed to Central Vigilance Commission. When I had
brought the matter concerning tax evasion to their knowledge by group connected
with Core HealthCare Group against whom Great Bank Robbery article appeared in
Indian Express on 7-12-2002.
Not only did CVC acted but the CBDT , their member investigation and the new
Director Generals – Mr. Roongta and then current Mr.U. P.Singh shielded the
group while harassing the undersigned by raising huge tax demands. This is how
they conduct the inquiry.
Not only CVC is toothless, the entire government along with the top officials of
the income tax department are cowards, spineless, corrupt and toothless. When
Mr. Jashwant Singh goes to Kandhhar to hand over terrorists in view of plane
hijacked. What one can expect.
I hope that a message is sent to young people not to marry or to stop having
children or move to other countires . I have experienced the suffering so much
in my personal life , that I feel helpless – to save my wife and my children
from harassment. I am in a similar situation of a plight of a woman in movie
ROJA who wanted to save her husband fallen in the hands of terrorists.
There is no receptivity to listen. All of us are in a similar situation of
concentration camp of Germany. There they were executed in gas chambers, here in
our country we are being slowly poisoned – and we do not realize that , we are
being poisoned.
It is the media who needs to play vital role in waking up people from deep
slumber and ask the government to furnish concrete steps on all fronts. When ,
a woman like Ms Indira Gandhi could galvanize the functioning during emergency ,
it is necessary that the emotions of the people are stirred up for future
safety of our children..
Our elderly politicians has not learnt lessons of Mahabharata- Bhisma
indifferent to draupadis being disrobed, Dhristrashtra remaining blind and
Gandhari playing blind. The way Lord Krishna – felt that he was not able to
change the mind of Duryodhana on account of his pride . On account of lessons of
Gita given by him, Lord Krishna wants each of the citizens of the country to
take gandiv to weed out corruption in the country. Only strong persons like you
who can understand various issues , who can powerfully communicate thoughts can
make a change. Otherwise every family’s HOUSE IS ON FIRE whether he is in
power or not in power. The warrants on the President of the country and on the
Chief Justice is classic case. The surprising thing is that the Supreme Court of
India lacks the will to pull up various judges of Gujarat High Court by
issuing notices to each one of them As long as such drastic and radical steps
are not taken, the judiciary are pawns to the bureaucrats,
politicians, lawyers , chartered accountants. Only when several judges of
supreme court suffer the pain of victimization in their own personal families
while in power then only a true understanding to take radical steps would
arise. Not till then. Personal grief and loss is perquisite to change to become
a compassionate being . These days are not too far. What has our Prime minister
to loose , , what has jaylalita to lose, what has narendra modi to lose as they
do not have personal family and are safe on account of physical security
available to them. They do not have any personal families at all to under stand
pain and suffering of common people. It is the same reason that Bhisma- a
bachelor , who played indifferent to woes of draupadi. These are the people who
lack sensitivity to touch inner plight of common people.
On this Sunday , deputy prime minister advani came in my neighborhood to open
a free medical camp. Entire administration was at his service, all the
litter/garbage was removed (which normally did not happen) and water tankers
appeared to sprinkle water on the ground. For saving of one or two lakhs , sum
exceeding one crore must have been used up in a day .
When the Prime minister who being captain of the ship gets down first from the
ship even before the destination has been reached- shows his own lack of
confidence of the performance and his effectiveness that he chooses to prepone
the elections What can one expect from him except powerful speeches. The
bureaucracy understand and feel the weaknesses of their masters.
Your level of consciousness and understanding is way above all of us as we see
it in your columns . You have the flair of communicating and by God’s grace ,
you are close to media. to carry it persuasively. All it needs is focus,
persistence and intensity as described under.
When the sun rays are made to pass through lens, then only the sun rays has the
capacity to burn away a dry leaf. Not before. What is needed is persistent and
intensified focus of one issue at a time with a total sense of urgency.
Master sitting in a chariot is the one who instructs the sarthi where to go,
and if he does not take him to the desired destination, he takes over as sarthi
and uses reigns to give directons and uses whip if the horses do not follow the
instructions.
This is what is expected of Our respected President of India who has compassion
and sensitivity to children and citizens of the country and the awareness of
root problem of corruption. He has to personally see that leaking pipes are
replaced all along. He has the experience of being a mission director and he
believes in frugality and he has a sensitive heart of Lord Krishna to
understand the feelings of Draupadi who is being stripped by Dushashana and to
top it all he does not have any personal motive or axe to grind. He has
personally experienced that the warrants can be issued against him, that his own
security force is involved in raping.
All we need to do is request our beloved President , that as a Supreme
Commander of Internal chaos in the country , he takes a direct charge, he opens
a war office to fight corruption equipping it as a call centre , having
facilites of fax, telephone numbers and young people. These young people would
attend to email and faxes, on authority of the President of the country , they
send out faxes/ post for fast response followed up by direct and unfiltered
communication of our dear president by phone calls in case the concerned
officer does not respond or behaves indifferently or dodges the issue. . All he
has to do is to punish the person. Such direct action has creating an impact of
atleast 1000 times. This is the way amabani functioned or the way Indira
functioned during emergency. He would not be able to accomplish any thing if he
depends on sansad members. As a mission director , he would understand that too
many cooks spoil the broth. The way Chanaykya did not move out of
his hut, he can remain in his residential house and can change course of entire
nation with help of TV camera. being installed in all the courts, police
stations through out the country. The fear of being watched by some one would
make the administrators, lawyers and the judges to behave properly.
Only then he would be worthy of love of children that he cares otherwise he
will be despised by the same children whose ambitions have been aroused as they
would be one day frustrated on account of lack of vision of their fathers and
forefathers.
Only you can make them see differently. We need to focus on the roots and not
on the leaves to change the system. CVC is just like one of the leaves not a
root. We have to provide water to the roots so that the flowers and fruit
blossoms.By taking care of one leaf of CVC or CBI , the tree is not going to
bear flowers or fruits. This is my personal experience.
Besides, all of these is needed to be changed before the elections. That is
trump card for common people – so that the politicians do not run away with
empty promises. They have to be made to slog , to sweat like what we saw in
Lawrence of Arabia to win the hearts of people. These are the kinds of people
who are being needed by the country. They may play a small role but they deliver
what is being needed.
Otherwise the Titanic moving at high speed is heading towards an iceberg not
knowing that nine tenths is concealed underneath while the people may rejoice
being on Titanic for time being, not knowing what future has been stored for
them. All of us are on aboard this Titanic. I have experienced it in my life, I
was deaf, dumb and blind that I did not realize and assimilate the message when
I saw it when the movie was released in the country.
The words of director/producer of Titanic are “ Titanic is not just a myth, a
parable, a metaphor for the ills of mankind. It is also a story of faith,
courage, sacrifice and above all else, love.”
We are aboard such leaking Titanic- Can Our Finance Minister and experienced in

Believe me, in case our dear President directly intervenes in a case

Fortunately, even the Chief Justice of Supreme Court has experienced of
mischief of meghaninagar in Ahmedabad. This can be just a beginning to make
sweeping changes in the revenue department for overall benefit of the country. I
may become a guniepig and a target and be consumed in the process. I am willing
to take such risk even if I may be consumed like a common person like Jack-
Leonardo of Titanic who freezes to death but can be hope for life to millions
of Rose to survive and quench their thirst of real life.
Let this start with the undersigned . All I need is your support to blow
whistle –loudly, persistently so that it can be heard finally. It may not help
me or my family but I am damn sure that it will create an impact a change for

Respected Sir,
SUBJECT: COMPLAINT AGAINST DISLOYAL OFFICERS OF
OFFICERS OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT OF
AHMEDABAD.
1) MY REF LETTER TO I.T. DEPT: 18-6-1999 (ENCL)
2) REF LETTER FROM DEPT: DG/AHD/INV/29/99-2000 DATED
I am enclosing copies of important letters addressed to various officials of
Income Tax Department in Ahmedabad and I have reason to believe that persons
referred in para 2 are dishonest, disloyal and their professional conduct is
extremely doubtful. Their attitude is aptly described in my letter dated
2-7-2001. On account of alleged illegal acquisition of immoveable property by
Dhanyushya belonging to Rupmanglam and Flovin and supported by interim findings
as per the letter dated 19-9-2000 by Mr. C.M.Betgiri, what prevented him to take
prompt action against Dhanyuhsya in the interest of revenue and suspending the
auditors who play major role in frauds shaking the foundations of trust in the
country. This has to be seen in light of speedy action against Andersons as
audit firm in case of Enron and the swiftness with which the American Government
has acted without granting any favour to the top audit firm.
I humbly request you to conduct inquiries on (A) Mr. C.M.Betgiri in his capacity
as Director General-INVESTIGATION and Chief Commissioner of Income Tax
(currently promoted Member CBDT, (B) Mr. V.D. WAKHARKAR, in his capacity as
Director General OF INVESTIGATION, (C) Mr. D.N. Kar, in his capacity as ADI Unit
1(4) (D) Mr. N.M. Parmar., Ward 11(2).
I am giving reasons for conducting probe against erring officials of the Income
tax department in Ahmedabad as under:-
How come Mr. D, N. Kar, ADI UNIT 1(4) did not make efforts to collect all the
necessary basic evidence from Dhanyushya, Mr. Jalundhwala, Mr. H. Kashiparekh by
calling for transfer deeds, minute book records, valuation report for transfer
of shares,especially when Dhanyuhsya b/s 96/97 did not reflect ownership of
shares belonging to my family, when he was investigating the case from March
1998 till March 1999 and also record their statement thereafter for various
explanation.
Why Mr. C.M. Betgiri(Director General of Income Tax-Investigation) on receipt of
my letter dated 18-6-1999 did not provide adequate guidelines on contents of the
letter to the concerned DDIT so that DDIT can effectively carry out the
assignment and report findings to Mr. C.M. Betgiri within a month instead of
sending two additional reminders on 30-10-1999 and 23-02-2000.
How come Mr. C.M.Betgiri did not ask DDIT to summon Mr Kashiparekh, the auditor
of Rupmanglam and Flovin for valuation report on shares and record his statement
when he could easily assesss from Mr Kashiparekh’s reply annexed in my
letter dated 18-6-1999, that he was taking the department for a ride for not
giving report on ownership of the companies backed by evidence.
Based on interim findings on account of my recorded by DDIT Mr. R. Diwedi, on
10-5-2000 and the annexures provided as narrated in my letter dated 11-5-2000
and interim report available to Mr. Betgiri, why did he dump the responsibility
of further investigation to the assessing officers as stated in his letter dated
19-9-2000 addressed to the undersigned. How come Mr. C.M, Betgiri as DG expected
various assessing officers t take intiaitive and coordinate simultaneously with
other assessing officers to carry simultaneous investigation . reasonable time
limit.
the registered office of Rupmanglam under the signature of Mr.
Jalundhwala got transferred to Baroda address as per the ROC records.
How come Mr. V.D.Wakharkar, the new Director General of Income Tax,
-Investigation, did not review the decision of assignment to the assessing
officers in light of my letters dated 3-10-2000 and 23-10-2000, when a lay man

investigation. Incidently, Mr. Wakharkar was working under Mr. C.M.Betgiri.
Why Mr. Wakharkar was complacent to my further letters dated 30-10-2000,
27-11-2000 and telegrams dated 14-12-2001 and 4-1-2001 in light of my comments
on involvement of Global TRUST BANK FRAUD. highlighted through my letter
addressed on 2-7-2001 and copy of this letter marked to Director of
Investigation, Mr. Vijay Ranjan on 4-7-2001 Wakharkar, how come, in the
interest5 of revenue, the matter was not handled by the investigation department
for effectiveness.
Pursuant to my letter dated 26-7-2001 to the Investigation department ,
In view of notice issued on 31-5-2001, whether the notice was issued to harass
me. what are the findings by Mr. R.Nabar , J.C.I.T assessing Dhanyuhsya in
response to my letter dated 29-10-2001 and reminder letter dated 24-1-2002 and
whether he has collected necessary evidence and has taken any action in the
interest of revenue in view of illegal ownership of property owned by
Dhnayushya.
What prompted Mr. N.M.Parmar, ward 11(2) to carry reassessment based On
presumptions and did not bother to collect necessary evidence of ownership of
shares by interrogating J. Jalundhwala and the auditors of Rupmanglam,,m
Flovin and Dhanyushya by exercising his powers to visit their offices in case
they were not extending cooperation in interest of justice and fairness to me
and my family members by raising huge capital gains tax demand even when
Dhanyuhsya balance sheet 96/97 did not reflect the ownership of the shares and
reported to DDIT.
Why Mr. N.M.Parmar, has accepted identical valuation of shares alleged
I humbly request your Honour to seek findings, report and action taken report
From the Investigation department pursuant to annexures submitted on 10-5-2000
as narrated in my letter dated 11-5-2000 in light of commitment given vide
Sept 19-9-2000 by Mr. Betgiri pursuant to my letter dated 18-6-1999.
In case, no concrete findings been carried out by Mr. Betgiri and Mr.Wakharkar,
it is my humble request that present MEMBER-INVESTIGATION is called to furnish
the findings by collecting all necessary evidence including MINUTE book records
from Mr. Jalundhwala, auditors of Rupamanglam/Flovin and Dhanyuhysa immediately
on receipt of this letter. I have already written to present Director General of
Income Tax-Investigaqtion, Mr. Roongta on 23-1-2002 to take concrete steps to
recover tax from Dhanyuhysa and black list the auditors involved. This
information is necessary in the interest of revenue as well as natural justice
to me.
I would like to draw the attention that in the suit filed by me on Dhanyuhysa,
Jalundhwala, Core Health Care and Global Trust Bank, they have not been able to
produce evidence of ownership of the immoveable property and shares where they
have managed to avail term loan of Rs 12.5 crores.
I would appreciate that the present letter is acknowledged and complaint number
is assigned.
Yours sincerely,
P S Mody

Dear P Ramakrishnan,
Thanks a lot for your kind and spontaneous gesture offering your
assistance to me in connection to a article posted by Shri Ravinder

subject. As observed in Best Bakery case, unless the judiciary is
cleansed , all our efforts would go to waste. Therefore this issue
has to be tackled too. This has been my personal experience too. For
this we need to focus on President of India by pushing him to reform
the process of sacking/punishing judiciary immediately.

PS:
To side track the issue, it may be a good idea that the way NDA
organized march to Rashtrapati bhavan for removal of ministers who
have faced serious charges, it might create substantial impact if
such march is organized to RashtrapatiBhavan in future as a group
effort coordinating with various connected organizations.
