Notes 2 of assistance to SC in CA 4235/2014


The Registrar                                                 Dated: 20/01/2020
Supreme Court of India
New Delhi

Subject: To assist the Hon’ble Court in Civil Appeal Case No. 4235/2014 as
                per its own orders dated 7/5/2018 in WP (C) 1163/2017
Reference: My last letter dated 24/11/2019 on the subject addressed to you.

In continuation of my letter under reference, the following further notes of assistance may kindly be put up to the appropriate Court dealing with the subject case.
                     In the Court dealing with CA case no. 4235/2014

1.    These further notes of assistance have been necessitated since there has been no response yet to my letter dated 24th November, 2019 to the Hon’ble Court conveying my notes for assistance and various other references mentioned therein on the subject though many precious months have passed and the colossal public fraud continues 24 x 7 unhindered in full bloom making a mockery of the whole system and very human existence itself. The Hon’ble Apex Court appears to have gone into deep slumber as if it has taken an overdose of sleeping pills, only waking up intermittently in a state of delirium to send me meaningless messages indicating forwarding of some of my references to this or that office within the body itself.
2.    Satyamev Jayate’ has been the motto and tagline of this august Court since its inception. And yet it has hardly bothered to look into the colossal on-going public scam (in the name of cricket) that is the epitome of Fraud, even though the same was brought threadbare to its doorsteps more than two years ago through some herculean efforts. In effect that was done still earlier when the matter was brought to the notice of the Apex Court appointed Commissions headed by justice Mudgal and Justice Lodha on the subject. Those Commissions, however, acted blind to the matter placed before them and in doing so did a great disservice to the masses and the humanity. In fact I remember Justice Mudgal conveying categorically to the world through news channels at that time that fixing in cricket was only sporadic and the game was largely clean. That too when my non-fiction work ‘Bettors Beware’ had been delivered to his office months ago duly acknowledged. I could only marvel helplessly at his foolhardiness or ignorance then. Today multitude of tipsters like ‘Cricket Insider’, fearlessly active on social media, have been announcing fixing of cricket matches across the globe quite openly. Some other such names I am aware of are Vijay Tiger, Allrounder, Sanjay Goyal, Navi Dubey etc. There may be any number of others that I may not be aware of. All the concerned authorities continue to act deaf, dumb and blind. And with the authorities acting so, the masses remain ignorant, trapped, and victimized.
3.    What is this subject case CA 4235/2014 that the apex Court has been seized of for years now, all about? Broadly, it is about administration of cricket in India through BCCI and state cricket bodies for the betterment of the game. That is a big subject in itself involving various rules and regulations, including those for elections of various governing bodies at state levels and national level, their tenure, cooling off period for re-election, ways to control corruption etc. At the centre of it all is the game of cricket and its betterment. But what is that game of cricket today? It is not a competitive sport (being played at national or international levels) anymore, as one believes or would like it to be. It is just pre-scripted drama acted out day in and day out to keep the galleries enthralled and fill the coffers of the betting syndicates by not millions but trillions of dollars. The emotions of the masses are played on and millions of addicted bettors across nations, majority of them from India, are kept trapped, more and more youngsters being addicted every passing day. Does it behove the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India to confine its attention to just the details of overseeing the administration of such an out and out colossal public fraud, a massive public evil, and continue to remain blind to what it actually is? It does not. Once the matter has been brought squarely to its table, the Hon’ble Court can’t escape its responsibility infinitely and wish away the stark reality. It becomes duty bound to act to take all possible measures and to direct all the concerned authorities to do the same in order to ensure that the colossal international public fraud which has been continuing for over a decade, if not decades, comes to an end at the earliest, if not immediately.
4.    It is an open secret that corruption has been rampant in the various state units of the BCCI; not surprising, the game itself being an epitome of Fraud. Many cases are continuing in various High Courts, including demands for forensic audit of accounts of some of the state cricket associations. I learn that the same are stalled on account of this case continuing in the apex Court. Unwittingly and inadvertently, the Hon’ble Supreme Court is thus helping the corruption and the corrupt in various cricket associations. It may kindly either directly order forensic audit of accounts of various state cricket associations where there are such demands straightaway (as has also been recommended by the COA in their Xth status report to this Hon’be Court) , or direct the High Courts to deal with such cases on priority.
5.    When the Hon’ble Supreme Court was duty bound to act and intervene after the matter was brought to its notice through WP ( C ) 1163/2017 more than 2 years ago, it has been shirking its responsibility - behaviour which would have been unimaginable on the part of this august institution in the past. Needless to say, this does tantamount to taking sides with the powerful fraudsters.
6.    It is imperative that the Hon’ble Court acts, for the following explicit reasons:
a)    A massive public fraud is continuing unhindered, fooling the masses including the elite through scripted cricket matches round the clock.
b)   The criminal act of addicting our youth to drugs is well known and thoroughly despised. Well, the initiation of masses to cricket betting openly by the celebrities including the present BCCI President himself through games of speculation like Dream 11, my 11 circle, 11 wickets etc. is an equally despicable crime, even though there is not sufficient awareness about same yet and same is not bothered about by the authorities . And these masses are then or otherwise being addicted directly and openly by the tipsters crowding the social media. These tipsters provide the precisely correct script in advance once a while to win the confidence of bettors and prospective bettors, then make them lose by providing false tips, and keep them thus trapped by giving correct and false tips as suits them and their masters, the betting syndicates – something that was being done surreptitiously as reported in the media years ago quoting police sources is now being done openly with authorities at every level acting deaf, dumb, and blind. These tipsters openly claim that matches are fixed and pre-determined. Questioning them purposefully could reveal a lot, but no one has bothered or is bothered.
c)    The addicted bettors are then looted and stripped of their wealth through matches scientifically scripted round the clock for the purpose. The resulting loss to the bettors and income to the betting syndicates is in the range of trillions of dollars over a period of time – the figure arrived at from extrapolation of authentic data available. Unrefuted and irrefutable encyclopaedia of evidence including some mathematical or scientific evidence in support of existence of institutionally fixed cricket worldwide has already been brought out in my various submissions to the Hon’ble Court so far and references mentioned there in, as well as through my various press conferences repeatedly. And as the Fraud continues unabated, it also continues to manifest itself through ridiculous bowling, batting, and fielding efforts on display by the accomplished cricketers around the world round the clock. Just to give some very crude indication here that should be readily understood - competent teams consisting of highly talented batsmen folding up for scores of less than 100 runs or scoring of 20 plus runs in an over are results of such manifestations. A current similar example is: only yesterday, on the 19th of January, 2020, the team Brisbane Heat while chasing 165 to win in 20 overs inexplicably collapsed to 120 all out in 15 overs from 84/0 in 5.5 overs in a match of Big Bash League (similar to IPL in India) at Brisbane, Australia against the worst performing team in the tournament Melbourne Renegades, the last 7 wickets falling for just 7 runs. The team Brisbane Heat had internationally acclaimed batsmen like CA Lynn, AB de Villiers, MT Renshaw, JA Burns, BCJ Cutting in its ranks apart from other former international players.  The purpose of such scripting is to leave bettors high and dry through unimaginable turns resulting in huge gains for the betting syndicates. And examples of such unimaginable scripting resulting in inexplicable cricket abound in international Test Cricket as well. Such repeated manifestations are just not possible with only a few players being involved at the behest of some outside forces, the coaches and cricket experts remaining in the dark all the time. For example, the masses have been brainwashed by the media through cricket experts into believing that a bowler alone could be fixed by some bookie to achieve desired runs in an over, as has happened in the Sreesanth case and as has been portrayed in the popular video show ‘Inside Edge’ on Amazon Prime – a show which, as a whole, deals with the evil of fixing very superficially and misleadingly even though it is just a work of fiction. Nevertheless it does make people see how easily fixed cricket could be played, and also that how foolishly and amusingly commentators go on commentating even when play in the ground was pre-scripted and fixed. The slightest common-sense would tell one that the batsmen and at times even fielders apart from the bowler, if not the umpires, have to be involved in achieving any pre-determined result from even any one over of a cricket match. Unfortunately even Supreme Court appointed Commissions have shown themselves to be devoid of that minimum common sense, what to say of investigators like Neeraj Kumar and the acclaimed journalists and editors covering the subject over the years.
d)   It is a matter of official records that a part (how much is anybody’s guess) of the mind boggling sums earned by betting syndicates (as a result of scripted cricket matches being telecast round the clock and round the globe) goes into terror funding. For this very reason, if for none other, it was imperative not only for Indian Government but other governments of the world also to act to stop or at least curb this menace. Their failure to do so makes it all the more imperative for the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India to intervene and act.
7.    If and when the Hon’ble Supreme Court acts in the matter as is, or rather, was expected of it and was imperative of it, there will further be following very big advantages to the country and the humanity as a whole:
a)    It will be a New Awakening for the mankind as a whole when the world comes to know what a colossal known public fraud it was being subjected to for more than a decade that was kept hidden from it by the world media for years. In one stroke the world will become aware of the total inadequacy of the human systems and institutions that had evolved over centuries to ensure a fair existence for the masses.
b)   The men and women of the world, especially the young generation, fighting among themselves on matters like CAA/NRC in India, religion, border disputes etc. would suddenly realize how ignorant they had been in fighting among themselves while all the time the real fight existed between them combined on one hand and a few thousands of people from various walks, most of them from cricketing world, on the other hand, who had been colluding to keep such a massive public fraud going for years and years.
c)    The Indian citizens would know for sure how successive governments including the present one, and the various law enforcing agencies, despite all their pretensions had been failing them by allowing and facilitating continuance of a colossal public fraud against them.
d)   It would make the intellectuals and elite of the society realize how uselessly they had been wasting their time and energies in debating on comparatively very petty issues, and rights and wrongs, while all the authorities and political and even national adversaries had been colluding in fooling them all these years through a massive fraud through a very popular international sport – Cricket.
e)    The moral torch-bearers of the society, especially media editors and anchors, would all be exposed for having been responsible for continuance of a colossal public fraud actively or passively, having failed to act as they should have after the fraud was publicly exposed and proved years ago. In fact, the media has been facilitating this colossal fraud the most. Once they stand exposed to the people and all their credibility gone, people would be able to guard themselves from their various machinations even otherwise.
f)     The world will clearly be able to see how it was being fooled day in and day out in engaging itself with the motivated agenda being set by the media acting on the directions of its masters in power – something the present day great and well acclaimed thinker Yuval Noah Harari also has categorically said.
g)   Vinod Rais of the world will stand exposed and that will make those in authority realize in future that all will have to answer for their misdeeds or follies one day.
h)   The world will know the true character of ICC, BCCI, and various other national cricket boards across the world.
i)     The world will know how laughable all the discussions in news-paper columns and on air all these years about cricket – players, team selections, pitch conditions, team strategies and other nuances of the game – had been, and what a fool all those acclaimed experts, journalists and others engaging themselves in such discussions had been.  
j)     The world should also be able to realize that the existing world system mired in corruption and falsehood can’t successfully combat the challenges posed by Nature.
k)    All this would lead to a much needed revolution being set in motion that will change the course of human evolution to take the humanity further on a better path, if not the ultimate right path.
8.    While I convey all above in an attempt to help the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India take the right course of action, I do wonder what it will do further. Will it continue in its deep slumber eternally or will it shoot the messenger taking shelter under some technicalities in an attempt to cover-up its own short comings and failings so far? (Might is always Right since it only decides what is ‘Satya’ - Haha). Or will it wake up and decide just to do nothing – in effect as good or as bad as it continuing in deep slumber? Or as a pleasant surprise, will it finally do what it should have done years ago?  If so, that will be ‘Better late than never’.
9.    I am aware that there is hardly anything new in this letter/ these notes that has not been conveyed earlier through my various submissions, but this could be a more concise summing up and also I have to continue poking harder and harder for waking up the Hon’ble Court gone into deep slumber.
            Thank you.
