Our whole hearted respects to honest few in judiciary ,

to honest efforts of those few noble persons only at
least democracy is surviving in India.
A . "Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and
freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of
straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will
fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political
squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be
taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of
Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan.
Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been
proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt peoples
representatives , police , public servants & Judges. Some of the
below mentioned judges fall among the category of churchills
men Rogues , Rascals & Freebooters.
B . Loot of natural resources in Karnataka state and illegal aid

Lokayukta Mining scam report .

2. Question(s) of Law:
Are forest officials , police & revenue officials who aided bellary
mining loot , above Law & can go scot free ?

3. Grounds:
Requests for equitable justice , legal prosecution & punishment

4. Averment:
GIVE WHAT ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AGAINST THE GUILTY
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS MENTIONED IN THE KARNATAKA
LOKAYUKTA REPORT submitted by Justice Santosh Hegde &
Shri.U.V.Singh ABOUT BELLARY MINING SCAM. IF NOT WHY ?
REASONS THEROF.
How many guilty government officials mentioned in the above

up the case & protecting the guilty ?

The Petitioner has sent many letters / appeals / petitions to

supreme court of india & other courts through e-mail , DARPG
website & through regular mail requesting them to consider
those as PILs. But none of them were admitted , even
acknowledgement for receipts were not given. See How duty
conscious ,our judges are & see how our judges are sensitive
towards life , liberty of citizens , commonmen & see how
careless our judges are towards anti national crimes , crimes
worth crores of rupees.

That the present petitioner has not filed any other petition
(which are admitted by courts) in any High Court or the
Supreme Court of India on the subject matter of the present
petition.

PRAYER:

In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may

Karnataka Lokayukta extortion racket case: SIT

files chargesheet, names 6 people
The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which probed the allegations of an
extortion racket and insider corruption within the Lokayukta or ombudsman of the
state, filed its first chargesheet before the Lokayukta court on Wednesday in which it
arraigned six accused persons.
The six accused named by the SIT are joint commissioner and public relations officer
(PRO) of Lokayukta Syed Riaz, city-based realtor and middleman Ashok Kumar,
Lokayukta justice Y Bhaskar Rao's son Y Ashwin Rao, self-styled RTI activist V
Bhaskar and two private Kannada TV channel journalists Shankare Gowda and
Srinivas Gowda. All six has been charged under Sections 8, 9 and 10 of Prevention of
Corruption Act and Sections 385 (extortion), 419 (cheating), 201(causing
disappearance of evidence) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
The 1545-page chargesheet contains the statements of 157 witnesses, including justice
Y Bhaskar Rao and Lokayukta superintendent of police Sonia Narang. The alleged
scam came to light after Narang wrote to the Registrar about the complaint she
received that someone from the Lokayukta office demanded Rs 1 crore as bribe to
avoid a raid.
The complainant was Bengaluru Urban district executive engineer M N
Krishnamurthy who works with the Public Works Department (PWD). The
chargesheet contains a large number of documents, mostly taken from the Call Detail
Records (CDRs) of the accused and the complainant.
The chargesheet claimed that the accused confessed to the crime during their
interrogation. One of the accused, Ashok Kumar, who acted as an agent to Ashwin Rao
also told the investigators that it was Riaz who guided them to call Krishnamurthy to
come to Lokayukta office and placed the demand for Rs 25 lakh, scaling down from
the original demand of Rs 1 crore, as bribe to clear him from corruption case.
Ashwin Rao, Lokayukta's son, was in July arrested by SIT. The issue had raised a
storm both inside and outside the state legislature and there was growing pressure
from Opposition parties and various organisations for removal of Rao.

Lokayukta case throws up more big names

THE inquiry into the extortion racket at the Karnataka Lokayukta office has taken an
interesting turn with the probe revealing business links between one of the main accused and
the son of the states top cop, Director General of Police ( DGP) Omprakash.
Two days ago, the Special Investigation Team ( SIT), which is probing the extortion racket
worth ` 200 crore, arrested N Narasimhamurthy, a clerk at the office of the state police
headquarters where the DGPs office is also located. Narasimhamurthy is accused of
facilitating payments to the Lokayukta office from corrupt officers.
Now, it has been revealed that the DGPs son Karthikesh had business links with
Narasimhamurthy. Karthikesh and Narasimhamurthys brother- in- law Ashwath operated a
stone quarry in Ramanagara, 60 kms from Bengaluru. Incidentally, Narasimhamurthy has also
signed the partnership deed.
The stone quarry is being operated in a five acre plot allotted by the government to the DGPs
son. Incidentally, the local villagers had complained against the quarry owners to the
Lokayukta and the Department of Mines &
Geology alleging that they violated environmental norms. However, till date action has not
been taken against the quarry owners.
The complaint filed against them with the Lokayukta will come up for hearing in September.
In the meantime, the Ramanagara deputy commissioner and the Karnataka State Pollution
Control Board allegedly gave a clean chit to the quarry.
DGP Omprakash informed a section of the media that he had no role in his sons business and
that if any illegality was committed, the law would take its own course.
The state government may seek an explanation from Omprakash in connection with the latest
development.
So far, more than 10 people have been arrested in connection with the racket. The prime
accused is the Ashwin Rao, son of Lokayukta Justice Y Bhaskar Rao, who has gone on a long
leave ever since the racket came to light.

Ashwin Rao is accused of extorting money from government servants. They would target
corrupt officers and ask for money. Meanwhile, one of the accused in the scam, journalist
Bhaskar attempted suicide in his cell.

Karnataka DGP in Dock

Over Sons Stone Quarry
Unit
People of the villages bordering Bengaluru feel they have nowhere to go.
A stone quarry that is co-owned by the son of the state police chief is the
bane of their lives. But when they sought a Lokayukta inquiry, little
happened. Even less after Justice Y Bhaskar Rao took over, they allege.
For the last five years, a stone crusher, co-owned with the son of state
police chief Om Prakash, has been wreaking havoc with their lives, a man
from Gavinagamangala village in Ramnagar district toldThe News
Minute.
The man, who requested anonymity, said that there were two stone
crushing units in the district initially, started in around 2010-11. Some
years later, they were merged into one firm.
According to villagers, the unit which works with granite, only has license
from the mines and geology department to carry out stone-cutting
operations. However, the man alleges that the unit is carrying out
crushing and blasting operations illegally.

Around eight villages in the vicinity of the crushing unit have been facing
numerous problems since the unit was set up. These include Matta,
Veeregoudanadoddi, Maregooudandoddi, Ramakalpalya, Attingere. He
says villagers have to put up with dust, noise, agricultural land and crops,
mango plantations, water tanks and residential areas which were being
affected.

Grievances Not Addressed

Om Prakash son Karthikesh and his business partner Ashwath had been
running two separate units in the area since 2009, according to
a Hindu report, which quoted Om Prakash. Denying any illegal activity on
his sons part, Om Prakash maintained that he had nothing to do with the
business.

Moreover, my son is 30 years old and I have no

bearing or connection to his business links.
Om Prakash, Karnataka Police Chief
told The Hindu.
The resident of Gavinagamangala who spoke to The Hindu said that in
2011 or 12, the farmers of the Hanchikuppe, where the quarry is located,
had lodged a complaint with the Lokayukta office.

Back then, there was some action. But since the new
Lokayukta took over, we have heard nothing on the
case.
Asked if there were any other complaints, the man said:

We complained with everybody, the home secretary,

IGP, DIG, even the chief ministers office. We never
got an acknowledgement. We have gone to the police
also, many times, but they never registered a
complaint.
According to media reports, Ashwath is the brother-in-law of one
Narasimhamurthy, a Second Division Clerk in the DGPs office.
Narasimhamurthy was arrested for his alleged close association to
Bhaskar, an accused in the Lokayukta scam.
