There has been absolutely no response from CJI to this letter. The fact and the contents of the letter should shame anyone and everyone who calls or considers himself Indian or civilized. Since in a democracy the ultimate responsibility lies with the people. I needn't say anything more. Thank you.

Sh. Ranjan Gogoi,                                           Date: 16/5/2019
The Hon’ble Chief Justice of India
Supreme Court of India,
New Delhi.

Sir,

Subject: Monumental fraud in the name of Cricket –
Continued inaction from Supreme Court reg.

Reference: 1. Supreme Court order dated 7/5/2018 in WP (C)
1163/2017, and case CA 4235/2014
2. My open letter dated 27/3/2019 addressed to
sitting judges of Supreme Court of India and registered under
Grievance Management with diary nos.
18182/SCI/PIL(E)2019 and 18183/SCI/PIL(E)2019

I write this to you as one man to another man in the interest of the society and humanity we both belong to and indeed should feel indebted to. I write to you secure in my knowledge of what lies established, beyond any doubt, about what is going on in the name of cricket, but under the circumstances the authority to act lies with you alone.

With reference to 1 above, I had filed an IA (Impleadment Application) 81233/18 in BCCI main case number CA 4235/2014 in June, 2018 and on my initiative held a meeting with Committee of Administrators/BCCI in July, 2017. Developments thereafter further compelled me to write an open letter under reference 2 to all the sitting judges of the Supreme Court including your good self. I was informed through messages by Supreme Court in Mid-April that this letter had been registered as Diary Nos. 18182/SCI/PIL(E)2019 & 18183/SCI/PIL(E)2019 under Grievance Management. And there it lies, apparently forgotten, without any further action for about a month now. And this appears to be a dead end.

I hope your honour have had time to go through the open letter under reference. If not, please do find time to go through it along with various references brought out there in. I am sure it will be a big eye-opener even for a man of your stature and experience. And your honour will know what needs to be done.

There is no greater test than test of time and the exposure of the monumental public fraud through cricket years ago based on even scientific evidence has passed that test with flying colours. What remains to be initiated is only action to stall the public fraud and crime, but that hasn’t been forthcoming from any quarters. This letter is aimed at impressing upon your honour once again the absolute necessity for the Supreme Court to act purposefully in the matter.

Fortunately enough for me, I wrote and sent the open letter under reference well before the eruption of headlines-making controversy with someone levelling an allegation of harassment against your honour; else the culprits and the cynics would have found it very convenient to dismiss my open letter as a mere attempt to fish in troubled waters. Interestingly, the Supreme Court and many of its sitting judges swiftly acted, or rather reacted (and rightly so), on this complaint of harassment since it was directed at “one of them” and mouthed by some in media who matter; but the same Supreme Court and all its judges have chosen to be silent on my letter, even after more than a month has gone by, in spite of it bringing to the fore much graver issues of critical national and international importance – an ongoing mind-boggling public crime that is clearly a joint venture of the betting mafia, ICC/BCCI, Corporates, Media and the Establishment. Also, the same media that so eloquently highlighted the complaint of harassment against you has chosen to keep totally mum about this letter, further confirming its complicity in the ongoing massive fraud and crime.

Does the studied silence of the Supreme Court even on my open letter not imply that it doesn’t have much regard for Truth and Justice per se and is controlled, after all, by political and money power only and considers itself answerable only when there is some hue and cry in the media? Is it not contrary to some recent public statements by some of the apex court judges that ‘SC can’t be run by money or political power’ while reacting to a recent affidavit by a lawyer Mr. Utsav Bains in the aftermath of the above allegation of harassment? It is worthwhile remembering here that the affidavit, as I learn, claimed that the allegation was part of a conspiracy to frame the CJI and that there had been rampant fixing of Supreme Court benches and even Judgments for cash, Dawood Ibrahim and some Corporates being behind that.

It is even more amazing that while the Supreme Court of India has been very swift in ordering an all-encompassing inquiry into the contents of this affidavit by an advocate, rightly so, it never considered it necessary to act similarly when a much larger fixing issue, aiding terrorism and having much greater national and international implications, was brought to its knowledge through a detailed writ petition (Civil) 1163/2017 a year and half ago, reiterated through above mentioned IA in June, 2018, and again highlighted through above mentioned open letter more than a month ago! Is not the Supreme Court of India, by its very actions, confirming the contents of the affidavit by Adv. Bains, the same being much more grave and serious than the allegation of harassment by an individual? After all, that affidavit exposes the whole institution of Supreme Court of India as never before.

The facts brought out in my open letter would have clearly indicated to any receptive mind how none other than Court No. 1 – the bench of 3 prominent judges headed by the then CJI himself – changed course for no apparent rhyme or reason after their first order dated 2/2/2018 in WP ( Civil) 1163/2017. Was that also result of forces as brought out in the affidavit of Adv. Bains at work? And are the same forces still at work in causing all the sitting judges of Supreme Court of India to act unconcerned even after registration of my open letter addressed to them despite its explosive contents?

Why and how is it that the Supreme Court acted almost instantly on the affidavit of an advocate, but has failed till date to deal comprehensively with much graver issues brought first to its notice one and a half year ago, by me along with a co-petitioner, through the above mentioned writ petition? Do only Advocates, rogue politicians, and biased media hold worth and value for the Supreme Court of India with other responsible citizens (even those with credentials of having done exemplary work in public interest) considered worthless? In writing the open letter to the sitting judges of the Supreme Court, I expected at least some - and especially your honourable self - to act and react suitably considering stature and calibre of you all; but the deafening silence of you all has conveyed to me that your honourable selves are after all also like other ordinary mortals next door with the prime objective of self-preservation and self-service.

I have already spent more than 10 precious years of my life - not to mention a lot of money and energy - and risked the lives of myself and family in exposing a massive public crime, a blatant joint venture of the betting mafia, ICC/BCCI, Corporates, Media and the Establishment as mentioned above; a crime immensely harmful not just to followers of the game or to those involved in cricket betting but also to the hundreds of millions of unsuspecting and ignorant people in India and abroad. Knocking at the door of the Supreme Court has been especially arduous for me, and pursuing further in the Supreme Court even more arduous. To my mind, the Supreme Court of India should have taken over the issue after it was apprised through our detailed petition of what was happening in the name of cricket and its grave implications. But that was not to be and I had to continue running from pillar to post, and am being made to do that even today. I cannot go on indefinitely and forever; I am not immortal either.

While on the subject of risks, another question arises; have my and my co-petitioner’s lives no value? I learnt from media reports that police protection for Adv. Bains was ordered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court after his filing of the above mentioned affidavit; why is there no protection for us when we exposed a much bigger crime involving hundreds of much more powerful criminals including dreaded mafia dons, top political leaders and central cabinet ministers, corporate giants, super heroes, celebrities, and media big-wigs etc through our writ petition? We had to fear retaliation not just from the Mafia alone, but also from the Establishment, both being partners in the crime. A recent Hindi movie ‘Tashkent Files’ becomes very relevant here. Thankfully, none of the culprits has bothered so far – probably secure in the knowledge that no one including the mighty Supreme Court or its eminent judges was going to lift a finger while the fake, scripted cricket show rolled on unhindered, continuing to be celebrated across length and breadth of India by the ignorant and unsuspecting masses. The IPL final even a few days back was nothing but shameless and blatant display of a scripted drama – as some could clearly see, and many more must be wondering. The Cricket Insider has again claimed through his tweet that he knew it in advance and had told his clients so. His tweet is reproduced below:

Such a big paraphernalia of BCCI including ACSU, CEO, COA, Ethics Officer, Ombudsman etc, and the ICC boasting of an international ACU, and multitude of law-enforcing agencies in the country – all continue to look on shamelessly.

Your Honour might be wondering what has prompted me to write this letter so close on the heels of my open letter, and in such a tone. I am perfectly aware how the Supreme Court and its judges have their hands full with recent controversies and many highly important cases; but what has prompted me to write again are a series of unbelievable actions of commission and omission by the Supreme Court of India even after receipt and registration of my open letter and despite recent public claims by its top judges.

As per Supreme Court’s order dated 7/5/2018 in our writ petition mentioned above, the Committee of Administrators (COA) for BCCI was to take a decision on our ‘grievance’ and was to submit a report to the Court which was to be considered by them in the main case concerning BCCI. We were also given liberty to assist the Court in that case. That case happens to be CA 4235/2014, and COA did submit a report in October, 2018. No one knows what the Court has done with that report and my rejoinder to that of November, 2018 which was also duly sent to the Court.

I have also tried to contact Senior advocate PS Narasimha, the Amicus Curiae appointed by the Supreme Court in the BCCI main case, but he too chose not to respond at all to me.

While my IA 81233/18 is listed now in the case CA 4235/14, the Court’s order dated 14/3/2019 in that case clearly suggests that the amicus curiae and hence the Court were not even aware of existence of any such IA in the case. Till date, the Court doesn’t appear to have taken any cognizance of that IA.

Having been invited to assist the Court as per its own orders, I wrote to the Registrar on 6/4/2019 requesting to be apprised of the case as a whole, while expressing my desire to assist. Copy of that letter is enclosed for your ready perusal and is self-explanatory. I have received no response to it whatsoever till date. As a common man I fail to understand how the Apex Court of this country can pass an order and then refuse point blank through its actions to honour its own order. Doesn’t the sanctity of the Supreme Court of India and hence the Constitution of India lie openly abused here?

I am not blaming any individual but only bringing to your honour’s kind personal notice through irrefutable facts and documentary evidence what Supreme Court of India as an institution has been reduced to today, to great disappointment of citizens like me. And I hope that it becomes a matter of great concern for Your Honour and the fellow judges, that Your Honour understands what it means for a country of 120+ crores.

Cricket matches are so blatantly fixed today that anybody asking for proof would amount to one asking for proof of existence of the Sun even while it was shining brightly in the sky. None other than the legendary cricketer of yester years, Sh. Bishan Singh Bedi also independently said so in November 2018, as brought out in my open letter. And yet everyone in the media, BCCI and ICC has been deadly quiet. Not only that, media reports reveal that BCCI has even entered into partnership with gambling businesses (in effect, if not strictly legally) like Dream-11. I don’t know whether to laugh or to weep. I am sure your honour will also have similar emotions. And for the proof for the blind (as Sh. Bishan Singh Bedi put it), there is no dearth of that either; as a veteran sports editor put it not long ago, an encyclopaedia of proof exists now.

India has shown itself to be a country of the gullible made to believe in the enmity between India and Pakistan all these years. Can two countries playing fixed cricket matches between them, year after year - that too in a period when the matches were considered to be a big prestige issue by their populace - ever be enemies? Developments and politics in the aftermath of Balakote strikes both in India and Pakistan have therefore been nothing but a false narrative created with the complicity of pliable media to fool and emotionally exploit people, especially in India during the election times, at the cost of scores of innocents killed on both sides. Again the movie ‘Tashkent Files’ becomes very relevant.

While round the clock scripted and fixed cricket matches by themselves are a massive and monumental fraud and crime nationally and internationally, with many very grave implications, I specifically mention above so that the seemingly incomprehensible enormity of the writ petition we filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court in November, 2017 may dawn upon your honour, though it appears not to have impressed the bench dealing with the petition then. As the things have unfolded, it could be that the bench did come under some outside influence after first ordering the UOI to assist it in the case. That order clearly indicated that the bench could see it was quite a significant case. It is also probable that the bench could indeed sense the significance but not the enormity of the issues involved, otherwise it wouldn’t have dealt with the petition as casually as it eventually did. I know, and records of the case would reveal to anyone how I had to fight hard for even listing of the case after 16/2/2018. Being an insider, Your Honour would be the best judge in this regard.

We all are born once and death is inevitable. Yet we all spend life time in pursuit of Falsehood, governed by hypocrisy and our inflated and misplaced egos the most! How amazing!

Under the circumstances, in light of the response of the Supreme Court of India so far, as narrated above, I shall have no option left but to call it a day on the subject if you still choose not to act as you must. One can’t go on indefinitely and I can’t wait till eternity for people to wake up and the Supreme Court of India to stir. Let people continue to rejoice at their own degradation and continue to celebrate their folly. All I will have to say is, ‘Congratulations to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for having succeeded in wearing me out as probably it set out to do!’ On my part, it is highly gratifying to have succeeded against all odds in irrefutably establishing the existence and continuance of a monumentally blatant public fraud and crime, involving the combined might of the rest of the world at large - with the BCCI and the Supreme Court of India both revealing their own complicity in the crime and unconcern through their own acts of commission and omission - as I probably set out to do as the next best option to try and bring a halt to the massive fraud and crime! It is another matter that the sustained efforts have cost me dearly.

Sir, I am just a medium and can only hope this letter is treated as a portent of stern disapproval of the actions and attitude of the Apex Court from the Gods of Truth and Justice, whom the Court has failed miserably to protect so far. It is true that it was for the ICC, BCCI, law enforcing agencies, and Government of India to act in the matter rather than the Supreme Court of India. But with their complicity in the crime established through their deliberate inaction over the years, and the media also shamelessly parading its complicity, it was imperative for the Supreme Court of India to act when the matter was brought to its knowledge – to act at least to stall the ongoing massive fraud and crime if not to bring culprits to book immediately; after all, the Supreme Court is supposed to be the last resort for a hapless citizen.

The refrain we keep hearing from various quarters, including the Apex court, is that "the show must go on!" Why and what for? To continue cheating hundreds of millions of unsuspecting and hero worshiping fans? To continue to lead ignorant people to commit suicide and murder driven by desperation resulting from huge losses and bankruptcy as a result of betting on fake matches being designed for that very purpose? To get our fellow citizens killed and endanger national security by continuing to facilitate flow of funds to the underworld and the neighbouring country for fostering terror in our country and the world?

If the show is indeed to be allowed to go on, it is imperative that this game is first made clean again and that certainly cannot be achieved by keeping envelopes sealed and continuing to ignore painstakingly compiled books and petitions which establish how the whole system is rotting. Bogus reports by the culprits aimed at self-preservation won’t help either. The monumental task of cleansing needs to start now, without any more delay!

I appeal to Your Honour one final time to go through all that is available in the records of Supreme Court of India in respect of the subject matter, apply your highly judicious and experienced mind, and act as you must. Your Honour alone, with the fellow judges, can act in the matter since none other than the present Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, India’s top industrialist Mukesh Ambani/Neeta Ambani (to name a few) in addition to almost all cricket legends and super-heroes, have been/are involved in this monumental crime that has been going on unbridled for over at least a decade now.

It is all the more imperative for you to act since Media itself is the biggest facilitator and marketer of this continuing monumental fraud and crime, even though in doing so it exposes itself and becomes guilty of everything it has accused anyone else in the world ever of. Media leaders own/have stake in IPL teams, and some teams even wear media logos. One can say ‘SHAME to MEDIA’, but that doesn’t help.

The greater question worrying us all should be “how can a civilization blatantly continuing to feast on Falsehood deal truthfully with any issues confronting it, especially challenges from Nature?”

I am quite aware that I am no body to question the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s orders. It is the Hon’ble Court’s prerogative as to what orders it passes. But reason and Truth must prevail, and serious questions are bound to arise when the Hon’ble Court fails to honour its own orders. Is there any precedent for such an extra-ordinary thing happening? I don’t know.

One never knows if this letter will find a place in some book some time and if so, how posterity and present day intellectuals including thousands of advocates will react to it. Hope being what leads us all forward, I do hope that someone else will take up the baton and reach the finishing post.
Thank you.

Regards
