Bhushan said that he provided all the "documentary information on record to dispel any impression that my remarks were baseless or made with reckless disregard to the truth", according to personal finance magazine moneylife.in yesterday. In particular, he said that:
- Chief Justice Ranganath Mishra, “as a judge of the Supreme Court presided over a Commission of Inquiry on the genocide of Sikhs in 1984. He conducted the inquiry proceedings in a highly biased manner and went on to give a clean chit to the Congress party, despite there being considerable evidence implicating senior leaders of the Congress party.”
- Chief Justice KN Singh "passed a series of unusually benevolent orders in favour of Jain Exports, and its sister concern Jain Shudh Vanaspati”
- Chief Justice AM Ahmadi was partly responsible for the “miscarriage of justice” in the Bhopal gas leak tragedy case and for purchasing a plot and constructing a “palatial house” in a development where construction was prohibited by the Supreme Court for environmental reasons.
- Justice MM Punchhi had had an impeachment motion prepared about him by the Committee on Judicial Accountability “which had been signed by more than 25 members of the Rajya Sabha, but did not get the requisite number of signatures since he went on to become Chief Justice of India” and was subject to “six extremely serious charges”
- “Dr AS Anand who too enjoyed a very controversial tenure as Chief Justice of India. During his tenure, evidence of several acts of very serious misconduct came to light and came to the possession of the Committee on Judicial Accountability. As a result of this, an impeachment motion was also prepared by the Committee on Judicial Accountability against Justice Anand which contained 4 serious charges.”
- Justice YK Sabharwal allegedly "passed a series of orders for sealing commercial properties in Delhi" forcing them to shift to large shopping malls and commercial complexes in which his sons had become partners”.
Current CJI SH Kapadia was of “financial integrity”, said Bhushan, although he had passed “unconscionable orders” in the past.
Bhushan explained that he provided the additional details because the Supreme Court did not react to his first affidavit in which he alleged that Harish Salve who filed the contempt application as amicus curiae was under a conflict of interest and should not have been permitted to appear.

If Prashant Bhushan had his way our courts would be filled with Stalinist communist sympathisers like Krishna Iyer. He claims that Kapadia is "unconscionable". Is Krishna Iyer not unconscionable for his association with the Kerala CPIM (he was law minsiter) and with dubious groups like Indian Friends of East Germany and Indian Friends of USSR?
Beware of Prashant Bhushan and the leftists!
Recently Fidel Castro have supported capitalism in Cuba. So, please dont get confused between corruption, capitalism and communism.
are the basis of corruption.All those individuals interested to free adminstration from curse of corruption need to join and help those crusaders in identifying and exposing corrupt, cruel and criminal elements.It is unfortunate, but true that present judicial set up has failed to deliver open, fair,affordable, accessible and acountable justice.The backlog has crossed over three crore cases and is going up and up, because the institution is more than the disposal. The present strenght of SC Justices has gone over four times more than the initial strength.Similar is the case with High Courts.But subordinate judiciary has not recieved the same attention and treatment.
Prime Minister wants arear free judicial institution to wipe out the tears from each and every litigant.Is it possible or just remain a dream? Can the present set up capable to turn the dream to reality? Yes, in case the mindset is changed.We request the SC to review the current appointment system.Either take over the responsibilty of removal as well or constitute National and State Judicial Councils involving legislature,executive and judiciary, bar included as well. Such systems are working successfully in many countries abroad. Why can't it work in India? We the people do need independent judiciary, but not untransparent and unaccountable. In case SC fails to act, then Parliament is requested to step in. For NJC: CJI be assisted by the nominee of SC Judges; CJs; Lok Sabha; Rajya Sabha; Bar Council of India; SC Bar and Law Minister. For SJC: CJ be assisted by nominee of HC Judges; DJs: Assembly; Vidhan Parishad; State Bar Council; HC Bar and Law Minister. I request SC when taking up this case, to look within and take advantage of the opportunity to improve the image of the judiciary and do the needful.May God bless India.
It is his pithy yet insubstantial allegations which lead me to concur with #1. If not backed by more detailed facts, this is just mud-raking and thus truly a contempt of Court.
I am thankful to Late sri Surendra Mohan a thinker, Lohiaites and writer who had given his last speech against corruption in judiciary before a group on 16.12.10 evening (prior to few hours of his death) and my long discussion on this issue with him and his wife after that deliberation.
I have read the comments of justice H. L. Gokhale, justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice Raghupati in recent news papers. Who is correct among them and upto what extent is known to them only.
I have also read the news about the comments of Supreme court judges over Allahabad High Court judges but it is my utter surprise why no comments about Delhi High Court. I also hope that someday something similar to the Wiki Leaks will take birth. Thanks to RTIA-2005 which exposed that CBI in one case changed the inquiry officer at last moment who in turn changed the 3 years inquiry report in 1 month and in another case stated that 1500 pages documents submitted to CBI as proof of corruption were not available in its record and thus nobody was penalized in both the big scams. I have bitter experience of few advocates also.
Regarding corruption in judiciary I am the one who knows better than many others. I had exposed corruption & scandals which were found correct by investigation of Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly inquiry committee, Lokayukta/ Chief Secretary Govt of MP, inquiry officer / an IAS officer (Chief Vigilance officer) Govt of India , based on which a Secretary to Government of India was removed from post / placed on compulsory wait. I have filed / fought about 35 cases (Sadachari Singh Tomar Vs UOI/ State of MP/ MPCST/CBI/CVC etc) i.e. 2 cases before Hon’ble Supreme court of India, 9 cases before Hon’ble High Courts, one case before Hon’ble SAT, 6 cases before Hon’ble CAT PB of India, 4 cases before Hon’ble District court, about 15 cases before Hon’ble Consumer court (District, state and National Commission) and thus have the opportunity of closely observing the Judges. I have also filed about 80 RTIA applications most of these were also placed before Center Information Commission (CIC) and information / certified copy documents received were placed before judges and I have received their comments. Based on my personal observation I conclude that many of judges are not extraordinary personalities but they are like a common man of society and they are behaving like that only.
I was hopeful that judiciary will protect me if any wrong / illegal action is taken against me when I exposed corruption of higher authorities but this was my wrong concept.
On the issueof placing affidavit before Hon’ble Supreme Court in line I had discussed with Shri Prashant Bhushan Ji but it could not be materialized. Now I am again thinking to proceed on the same lines. Why there are only 25 affidavits? These will now be 1000s / many more.
Mr. Prashant Bhushan is fighting against corruption specially judiciary and if he cannot win I don’t hope there is anybody who can fight against corruption in judiciary.
Today everywhere there is open talk in public about corruption/ scam of 2G spectrum, CWG, Adarsh Housing Society, involvement of media person of high repute , judiciary , UP Grain distribution etc. Hon,ble S C has also commented on functioning of Allahabad H C . I am hopeful that some day there may be similar comment on Delhi H C .
Question arises who can comment on such issues. A judge, an advocate, a person who faced the court (victim/ BHUKTA BHOGI) without corruption (without paying bribery to judges / judiciary staff). A person who could got the post of Secretary to Government of India but due to exposing corruption and rule D B, again Rule D B and retaining his case as part heard years together and then releasing without decision and in between many similar cases like case of AIIMS director etc are judiciously decided by court has full right to comment on these issues.
This case was accepted by one judge for early hearing but other judge refused to hear it, it has gone to same judge and again and again it moved and took months together to start and again rule D B.
This was the post related to IT/ICT to manage computer network of whole country’s NARS/ agriculture sector on which court has ordered not to fill this post till the final decision. ICAR tried to abolish the post as well as tried to fill by changing the qualification from engineering to non-engineers but due to court intervention it was not materialized and none qualified / non IT person is I/C since last 10 years. What will happen to country / NARS computer net work? One of my case is in lower courts since about last 20 years and accident claim ordered by court is not released to me till date.
Regarding corruption in judiciary I am one who knows better than many others. I had exposed corruption & scandals which were found correct by investigation of Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly directed committee, Lokayukta/ Chief Secretary Govt of MP, inquiry officer of GOI / an IAS officer (Chie Vigilance officer) based on which a Secretary to Government of India and DG Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Dr R S Paroda was removed from post / placed on compulsory wait. I have filed 36 cases (Sadachari Singh Tomar Vs UOI/ State of MP/ MPCST /CBI/CVC etc) i.e. 2 cases before Hon’ble Supreme court of India, 9 cases before Hon’ble High Courts, one case before Hon’ble SAT, 6 cases before Hon’ble CAT PB of India, 4 cases before Hon’ble District court, about 15 cases before Hon’ble Consumer court (District, state and National Commission) and thus have the opportunity of closely observing the Judges. I have also filed about 85 RTIA applications (on corruption) most of these were also placed before Center Information Commission (CIC) and information / certified copy documents received were placed before judges and I have received their comments. Based on my personal observation I conclude that many of judges are not (true to their duties) extraordinary personalities but they are like a common man of society and they are behaving like that only.
As soon as the new /amendment comes in judges inquiry act in picture I will file case against corrupt judges to whom I found that they have given wrong judgment on pressure/ money as at present I do not have required MP of LS/RS for that.
Now I am afraid to go to courts but since there is no other option therefore I have to
Approach judiciary to draw the case up to legal/ logical end.
What is hope and where is hope?
I am thankful to Late Sri Surendra Mohan who a day before his death gave a long speech in a procession against judicial corruption and just after that he and his wife given me opportunity to discuss in detail about corruption in judiciary on 16.12.2010 and few hours after that he died.
On the issue of placing affidavit before Hon’ble Supreme Court in line I had discussed with Shri Prashant Bhushan Ji but it could not be materialized. Now I am again thinking to proceed on the same line. Why there are only 25 affidavits? These will now be 1000s / many more.
Mr. Prashant Bhushan / Mr. Shanti Bhushan are fighting against corruption specially judiciary and if they cannot win I don’t hope there is anybody who can fight against corruption in the judiciary at present.
