That Petitioner lodged complaints Under Advocates Act, one jointly against learned Mr. Gouri Shankar Gupta, Advocate and Mr. Kishan Lal Bagaria, Solicitors, and another against Mr. Tapash Kumar Sarkar, Advocate (being the Lawyer Respondent No. 32 and her daughter), before the Bar Council of West Bengal. No reply or objections were filed by those Advocates, nor were served upon the Petitioner, nor any date was fixed to hear the aforesaid matters. But, in gross abuse of the judicial process, and against the important principle of the Jurisprudence that "Justice must be above all", but under severe bias and in highly irregular manner on 19th September 1992 both the complaints were disposed off by the Bar Council of West Bengal, in serious violations of the said core principle just by passing Resolutions, to save the skin of the brethren Advocates. As such the Petitioner filed Appeals before the Bar Council of India, which might have been disposed off by the Bar Council of India in the back of the Petitioner. Photocopy of one of the said Letter dated 19th September 1992 from Bar Council of West Bengal is annexed herewith and marked as ANNEXURE "A-42".

Mr. Bankim Chandra Dutta, Advocate, and several others. Resultantly, Petitioner was compelled to send them Letter by Registered Post to clarify his position. In the year of 1992 Respondent No. 25 purchased one property from Client(s) of Mr. M. R. Choudhury, Advocate, and paid huge black money to his Vendors, at the residence of Shri M. R.

Petitioner filed a petition that the execution of the Sale deeds were executed under fiduciary relationship between the Plaintiff and individual defendants and even under the Benami Transaction (Prohibition) Act, 1988, are legally valid. Therefore, this issue should be decided first. But, under the embracement from the Mafiadom, Ld. Presiding Officer of the Ld. Court of Munsif Court on 23/29th May 1992 dismissed the Suit. A copy of the Order is annexed herewith and marked as ANNEXURE-"44".

104. That during the same period it appears that Shri Chandan Basu son of Shri Jyoti Basu the then Chief Minister of West Bengal was also involved against Petitioner either to help the said Mafiadom of Respondent No. 25 or for some other reasons. One Jai Chand Lal Sethia was running a large scale gambling Club, at British India Street, Kolkata (Within the Local Area of Kolkata Police Head Quarter) and suddenly approached to the Petitioner to negotiate the matter. On the opposite response from the Petitioner to his desirous, Jai Chand Lal Sethia threatened to Petitioner with dire consequences.

Petitioner received reply dared 24th December 1992 from Shri Jyoti Basu, under signature of his Confidential Assistant. After few days later Bahu Bazar Bomb Blast incident took place and reportedly on enquiries from Central Agencies this was came to the notice of Shri Jyoti Basu that said Jai Chand Lal Sethia was the partner of said Rashid Miyan and that Rashid Miyan was main agent in Kolkata for Dawood Ibrahim. This way it might be appears to have looks like a chain link between Dawood Ibrahim and Chndan Basu, as such to save his skin, Jai Chand Lal Sethia along with several persons, were arrested for alleged involvement in gambling. Photocopies of aforesaid Letters dated 26th October, 1992, 30th October 1992, 24th December 1992 and news items relates to arrest of Shri Jai Chand Lal Sethia and others are annexed herewith and marked as ANNEXURE "A-45" collectively.

105. The Government of India through its order No.S/7937/SS(ISP)/93 dated 9th July 93 had established a Committee, namely known and called as "Vohra Committee" comprised then Union Home Secretary Shri N.N. Vohra, as Chairman of the Committee. The other members of the Committee were the then Revenue Secretary, Director Intelligence Bureau, Director, Central Bureau of Investigation, Secretary, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), and Joint Secretary of Home Ministry "to take stock of all available information about the activities of Crime Syndicates / Mafia organisations which had developed links with and were being protected by Government functionaries and political personalities". Vohra Committee in its Report admitted that safeguarding of the fundamental, statutory and legal rights of the citizen under politics-crime-nexus are at a serious stake, as were experienced by the Petitioner personally with severe magnitude. Petitioner craves leave to refer Vohra Committee Report available to him at the time of hearing. That similar to Vohra Committee Report Petitioner suffered atrocities of severe magnitude, with intensity as the Respondent No. 25 to 32 have acquired considerable political clout seriously jeopardising the smooth functioning of the administration and the safety of life and property of Petitioner, and acquired substantial financial and muscle power and social respectability and have successfully corrupted the Government machinery at all levels and yield enough influence to make the task of investigating and prosecuting agencies extremely difficult; even the members of the judicial system have not escaped the embrace of the Mafiadom controlled by the Respondent No. 25 and his associates including Respondent Nos. 25 to 32. Virtually they are running a parallel Government, pushing the State apparatus into irrelevance, in respect of the matters pertained to the Petitioner. The safety and security of the lives of the family members and Petitioner himself and his property under political Nexus put under complete stake. Even Shri George Fernandes, the then M.P. (Presently Defence Minister of India) written to Shri S. B. Chavan, the then Home Minister of India by his Letter dated 6th April 1992 requested him to looked into the matter. Shri S. B. Chavan, by Letter dated 17th April 1992 replied but without any result. Photocopies of Letter from Shri George Fernandes and reply from Shri S. B. Chavan are annexed herewith and marked as ANNEXURE "A-46" Collectively.

106. That Petitioner at the request of Mr. S. K. Todi once acted without any personal interest for the political gain of Shri Jyoti Basu and his party. Since, this was understood that he is victim of misuse of the powers and abuse of the authority by Shri Jyoti Basu, he reminded such past favour caused by him by Letter dated 6th January 1993 sent by Registered post to Shri Jyoti Basu with copies to others, but same make no difference.

108. That this is needless to refer that under the close Nexus with Shri Jyoti Basu, and other powerful politicians from West Bengal, the Respondent No. 25 established himself so powerful, that once Petitioner negotiated with one Promoter for development of his properties. Said Promoter claimed that he had very good relations with Shri Hashim Abdul Halim, the Speaker of West Bengal Legislative Assembly, and if he agreed then he will enter in agreement for development of the project. This was pre-condition of the Petitioner before the said Promoter that he never can ask the petitioner for any compromise with the said Mafiadom, which was agreed upon by the said Promoter. But, with the most surprisingly, when the Petitioner met with Shri Hashim Abdul Halim, immediately Shri Halim offered that he will mediate the matter and arranged settlement in the matter calling Mr. Fatehpuria, the relation of Respondent No. 25. However, petitioner refused immediately the aforesaid offer as such meeting with Shri Hashim Abdul Halim was closed.

M. from the Office of Mr. Dilip Ghosal. From the language of the letter several questions cropped up, as such Petitioner by his Letter dated 1st July 1993 sent by Registered Post to Mr. Dilip Ghosal requested to clear some doubt about his conduct, which was never replied giving clear doubts that the said Letter was prepared by some senior Officer from the office of Chief Minister to cover-up the aforesaid admission made by Mr. Dilip Ghosal on 3rd June 1993.

As such Petitioner send his protest Letter dated 11th August 1993 to the Secretary, Home (Police) Department, which was never replied. At the same time Respondent No.25 put under trouble in Contempt proceeding initiated by him, as stated hereinafter. Thereafter Respondent No.26 men and agents of Respondent No. 25 and Shri Chandan Basu, with the help of the dreaded criminals and anti-socials including one Umed Kumar Choraria and under Police protection, demolished Boundrywalls at the property of Petitioner.

As such, Petitioner filed Application Under Section 340 Criminal Procedure Code, before Honble Kolkata High Court interalia citing the evidences of such false statement as well as said false Affidavit of Service, as were prepared on 13th September 1991. When Honble High Court passed an order for hearing of the both the matters (Contempt Proceedings against the Petitioner and Application Under Section 340 Criminal Procedure Code filed by the Petitioner) analogously, Respondent No. 25 and his Solicitors find themselves in real trouble, as such on the one hand they managed that hearing of the said matter should not take place at any cost, and on the other hand they taken help from dreaded criminal miscreants with the help of newly uprising Mafia Respondent No. 26, being the front man of Shri Chandan Basu, son of Shri Jyoti Basu, and with Police support to create such a situation which will compel the Petitioner to flea from Kolkata, if wants to survive at all. Since, the Respondent No. 25 through his said Solicitors managed the Court staff, thus with utter surprise said Contempt proceeding was started going down in the cause list of respective Bench of Honble High Court, than started listed as Last matter of the List. As the Last matter of the List prevailed for several days and finally gone out of the List. At the same time Office Building and Boundary wall at the properties of the Petitioner was broken with police protection by the men of the Respondent No. 25 to 32 and stolen goods and Books valued of Rs. few Lakhs. From such developments, this was become ample clear to the Petitioner that the Respondent No. 25 adopted all ways and means simultaneously with a concrete plan to grab the properties of the Petitioner after putting him in Jail by implicating in false Contempt proceedings, with the help of the respective Advocates. At the same time about fifty antisocial with the Police support were posted and still some of them are appears out side the property of the Petitioner, with intention to kill the Petitioner, if he came to his site. As a result, Petitioner was left not any other choice, but to left from the running Court cases, and flees from Kolkata along with his family Members to survive.
