    CWG case: Lawyer doubts fair trial, judge defers hearing

    New Delhi, Feb 9 (IANS) A special CBI court hearing a corruption case related to the 2010 Commonwealth Games Thursday put off the proceedings till an order from the district judge after lawyer for an accused doubted he would get fair trial.

    Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Talwant Singh adjourned the hearing till Feb 23, awaiting the district judge's order, when lawyer Ramesh Gupta, appearing for former general secretary of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Lalit Bhanot, raised doubts over getting a fair trial.

    The court was hearing a case against Bhanot and 10 others in a corruption case related to alleged financial irregularities in awarding a Rs.141 crore contract for the time scoring and records system for the mega sporting event.

    Gupta said that the public prosecutor and a policeman posted in the court kept entering the chamber of the judge off and on, which gave an impression to accused, advocates and the press that a fair trial was not being conducted.

    The judge after hearing Gupta sent the case file to the district judge and refused to hold any proceedings till an order by the latter.

    "Matter is adjourned to Feb 23, for awaiting further directions in this regard," said Judge Singh.

    Judge Singh added that the conduct of counsel Gupta be brought to the notice of the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court.

    Judge Singh said that allegation made by Gupta were false. "In my humble view it is not expected from an advocate designated as a senior advocate to make false allegations to lower the dignity of this court in the eyes of litigants, advocates and public at large when he has no basis to make such allegations," added the judge.

      How come the lawyer of one of the accused in CWG ghotala is apprehensive of a fair trial in special CBI court.Does he not know that the special CBI court is working under the guidance and whim of congress party.Congress being the highest beneficiary in CWG,non of the accused will be prosecuted.If however the lawyer has taken up the case of any accused who do not belong to congress party,then his apprehension is correct.

      Most of the CBI investigations are sheer hoax of investigations. In many courts, judgments are written in Raj Bhavans and Law Ministry. CBI courts have judges/justices who do murder of justice. In this very CWG scam of Rs. 60000 crores, within a year even those arrested in the tail end have got bails. You can anticipate the net result of the CBI investigations and court trials. Net results ZERO till now with huge waste of time and monies.

      Can Sibal affirm on oath that he has never seen a porn movie or a video in his life? Maybe not inside Parliament.Yet it is the same sick mind as those of the 3 BJP Ministers of Karnataka.if he has seen any.

      ACADEMIC & JUDICIAL CORRUPTIONS
      An old saying that a country/institution which does not give justice to its people or which does not regard its learned ones, gets ruined sooner or later. A very strong corruption control law is most needed in whimsical judiciary and academics as documented herein. IITs NOT BEING WORLD CLASS INSTITUTIONS because it is well on record that IIT Roorkee’s once famous Civil Engineering Department had about a dozen full fledged professors who could never earn a Ph.D. degree or publish any significant research papers despite their best efforts and fullest administrative backing and this fact was well known to the Ministry of Education (now MHRD) who never viewed this truth with any kindness. On top of this, the academic administration of this IIT (the oldest former technical Higher Learning University of India/Asia), backed also by such non-PhD jealous virus professors, sabotaged (including plagiarizing) the research work of the highly internationally renowned professor colleague through all kinds of possible illegal actions manifested by as many as 20 to 30 writ petitions filed to nullify the illegal actions repeatedly taken without any regard of natural justice. These are well recorded facts also known to the MHRD. If an institutional index (integrated effect of the various Institutional components including the credentials of the faculty) or teacher/faculty index (integrated effect of the research potential, teaching ability, qualifications, etc of every faculty member) for all IITs are worked out and compared with world class Institutions, then the truth will come out. Merit is totally disregarded in the Indian system as manifested by the fact that India is branded as a developing third world country despite the fact that it has the highest manpower of highly qualified hard working genius persons in almost all disciplines in the entire world or on world basis. Thus the smaller but merit minded countries defeat us in cricket, diplomacy etc. Numerous examples will show that the merited ones in India will find their habitat only in the dust-bins. If India can rise above caste, region, and relative considerations and sincerely rely on merit then alone the IITs would become world class Institutions. A research paper entitled “A NEW METHOD OF EVALUATING TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH TEACHERS’ by Prof. Devendra S. Bhargava, published in the International Journal for Development Technology, England, Vol.5, 1987 pp.27-38, contents of which were comprehensively highlighted by the PTI news flash, can be of great help to compare the various IITs, their faculty, and their nearness to the world class. An Institution’s three main pillars, viz. the faculty, the students and the reputation are interdependent. This is proved by the fact that now the best students do not opt for Roorkee IIT which was in news for vulgar activities too. This Institution also manipulated to pass a twice failed student apart from allowing students to pressurize their teacher to give 90% marks sometime back. A recent case example manifests glorifies and testifies this aspect when the Hon’ble UttraKhand High Court at Nainital upheld (after intensive arguments) a reply to a RTI query made in the year 2007 that “an information pertaining to the year 1994 was more than twenty years old in the year 2007” (vide the Writ Petition No.726 of the year 2008) and such a whimsically arbitrary judgment could be given because the Hon’ble courts in India are not obliged to give reasons for their decision or judgment.

      Judge can not be expected to live aloof. Bias is from the acts. Convict is having the right of appeal from the decision/verdict if the judgement is wrong and lame excuses are being made just to frustrate the process and nothing else. It all shows that Mr. Gupta is taking the advantage of being designated as Senior and putting Blame game though everybody knows about the LOOT....it is just to be proved....
