AP CM Jagan Reddy’s Letter is Bench-Hunting, Advocate writes to CJI Urging for A “Full Court Meeting to Discuss the Issue.
(Judicial Quest News Network)
In response to a letter written by AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy to CJI alleging the nexus of judiciary and politics with regards to the unwanted assimilation by Hon’ble Justice NV Ramana, Judge Supreme Court in Andhra Pradesh High Court cases it was alleged by Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy That
1. With a sense of pain and anguish at the politicisation of institutions personally monitored by sri. N.Chandrababu Naidu through Honourable sitting Judges of Supreme Court, facts would clearly demonstrate that the august institution of the High Court is being used to destabilize and topple the democratically elected Government of the State of AP with indelible trial leading back to the overt and covert actions of Sri.N.Chandrababu Naidu through Hourable” Sri Justice N.V.Ramana.”
2. “Justice NV Ramana has been influencing sittings of the High Court including the roster of a few selected Honourable Judges and instances of how matters important to Telugu Desam Party have been allocated to few Honourable Judges are enclosed in the annexure along with copies of orders passed. The above clearly demonstrate the nexus of Sri Justice NV Ramana, TDP, and few Honourable Judges of the High Court”
“Justice Ramana proximity to Chandrababu Naidu is well known. I am making this statement with utmost responsibility. I may only bring it to your notice that former judge of the honourable Supreme Court. Justice Chelameshwar, placed this fact on record with EVIDENCE.
An Advocate Ashwini Kumar wrote a letter to CJI seeking for a “Full Court Meeting to Discuss the Issue”
Earlier Ashwini Kumar had filed a PIL in Supreme Court the main petitioner in PIL [WP(C) 699/2016] seeking one Special Court in every district to decide the cases relating to public servants (including MLAs-MPs) within one year, and to debar the convicted person from contesting election for life. Pleadings are complete and the bench headed by Hon’ble Justice Ramana has put the system in place and the Court is monitoring the constitution of Special Courts to decide the cases involving Lawmakers within one year. The Court will deal with life time ban issue immediately after Special Courts are established throughout Country.
In 2017, I filed another PIL [WP(C) 1152/2017] seeking ban on any
convicted person from forming political party and/or becoming political
office bearer and as per previous order, the matter may be listed for final
hearing very soon. PIL [WP(C)329/2019] seeking Consecutive Sentence to
corrupts, especially those involved in Black Money, Benami Property,
Disproportionate Assets and Money Laundering, is also pending in the
Supreme Court. Similarly, as per previous order, the PIL [WP(C)
408/2019] to bring national and state recognised political parties under
ambit of RTI Act may be listed for final hearing very soon.
The Letter by Mr. Reddy & subsequent press conference, is a blatant attempt to shake the confidence of public at large in judiciary. Mr. Reddy has crossed the line which separates Judiciary and Executive. The letter and press conference is no more than a dishonest and mischievous attempt to pressurize the judiciary, when above stated PILs are likely to be heard for final disposal. The letter was released in public domain not only to derail the above matters but also to intimidate judicial proceedings. In fact, Mr. Reddy is not only indulging in bench-hunting but also wants the Apex Court to stop hearing these cases.
Further it is submitted that “This is not a silly mischievous deceitful act but a deliberate fraudulent and calculated attempt to not only undermine the Apex Court but also to terrorise the Judiciary. Therefore, I request to call ‘Full Court Meeting to discuss the Issue’ and take appropriate stern steps in order to give a strong message so that no one can even think of using such deceitful and fraudulent tactics against judiciary in future.”
