Strange !!! 84.2% of original witnesses abandoned their earlier position and Spl. P.P. went ahead without attending to it?

https://www.facebook.com/prabhu.britto/posts/10152386645166752

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/archive/02136/Jayalalitha_Assets_2136932a.pdf

When 64 out of 76 prosecution witnesses substantially resiled/abandoned their earlier position, was it right on the part of the Spl. P.P.

(1) NOT to choose to treat any of the 64/76 witnesses as hostile witnesses, when it should have been a natural course of action of the Spl. P. P. to declare the 64/76 (almost 84.2% of the original list of prosecution witnesses) as hostile witnesses

(2) And examine why 84.2% of the original list of witnesses abandoned their earlier positions on the case

(3) and further examine whether it would be correct to proceed with just 15.8% of the original list of witnesses

a. as JJ is a high profile political leader who could have been possibly victimized by nature of the profile held by her?

A. Further, why wasn’t there an effort to check or call for investigation to rule out victimization of JJ or force/pressure on the witnesses to provide information under conditions of duress?

B. Further, why wasn’t there an effort to check or call for investigation whether the people or groups of people who complained against JJ had any natural or political advantage due to incriminating JJ on this case?

C. Further, why wasn’t there an effort to check or call for investigation whether the people or groups of people who complained against JJ had all assets in proportion to their known sources of income?

D. Further, was there any special reason that could NOT be recorded on the Judgement regarding why the Spl.P.P. went ahead totally ignorant of the fact that 84.2% of witness resiled or abandoned their earlier positions (on the case)?

E. Further, was there any possibility of teamwork between the Spl.P.P. and the people or groups of people who complaint against JJ?

a. Was it checked or was it ignored?

F. Further, when the Chief of the DMK party himself did not seem to get a good opinion in the Sarkaria Commission report, was it wise on the part of the Vigilance Department to file an FIR on the basis of DMK Govt.’s direction at that time? Why couldn’t the Vigilance Department ask a legal opinion, whether to proceed with the DMK Govt.’s direction at that time (citing the Sarkaria Commission Reports and possibility of political vendetta)? (Ref: Point 2 at: http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/jayalalithaa-s-disproportionate-assets-case-5-things-to-know-114092700375_1.html )

G. Further, why wasn’t the observations of the Sarkaria Commission taken into account in the pursuit of the JJ case, since the group of people complaining against did not have a good reputation in the Sarkaria Commission report?

H. Further, why wasn’t it possible to investigate both the complainant (having negative repute due to Sarkaria Commission report) and the person against whom the complainant filed the complaint, in this case, JJ ?

I. Further, why was the Spl.P.P. rushing ahead without pausing to attend to sudden developments (64/76 witnesses resiling or abandoning their earlier positions on the case) as if the complainant had a very good reputation in society without regard for the Sarkaria Commission Report?

J. Why wasn’t it thought of then, that such questions might crop up in the minds of the people when the Judgement was accessible by the general public?

Quote

“On the subsequent adjourned dates, 76 prosecution witnesses who were already recalled and cross-examined in full were got recalled by the accused for the purpose of further cross-examination and 64 of them substantially resiled from their earlier statements made on oath. The learned Spl.P.P. conducting the prosecution did not choose to treat any of these witness as hostile, instead proceeded with the examination of the Investigating Officer as P.W.259”

End of Quote

Has the Special Judge D’Cunha exceeded the authority that the Supreme Court designated to him, by going beyond whatever instructions has been given by the Supreme Court with regard to the conduct of the case against JJ?

https://www.facebook.com/prabhu.britto/posts/10152387910851752

The JJ Judgement Page 19 Section No. 16 provides the Instructions given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of INDIA with respect to

a) Convening of Special Court

b) Appointment of Special Judge

c) Appointment of Public Prosecutor

d) Instructions to investigating agency to render all assistance to public prosecutor and his assistant

e) “The Special Judge so appointed to proceed with the cases from such stage as he deems fit and proper and in accordance with law”

f) Permissions for Public Prosecutor to discharge his duty

g) Instructions to Tamil Nadu to transfer documents and ensure that witnesses are produced on requirement

h) Instructions on witness protection to State of Karnataka

i) “The Special Judge shall after completion of evidence put to all the accused all relevant evidence and documents appearing against them whilst recording their statement u/Sec. 313, Criminal Procedure Code.”.”

But where is the Instruction what the Special Judge has to do after completing the case, as items (e) and (i) refer to the manner in which the Special Judge has to conduct the case?

With reference to the fact that this case is labelled as State of Tamil Nadu Vs JJ and others, the Supreme Court has NOT mentioned whether the Special Judge has to give Judgement (acquittal or conviction or pardon or whatever in accordance with the law) or hand over the completed case to the Tamil Nadu High Court or to the Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court has given detailed instructions for each protocol in the conduct of the case, when the protocol to be followed on completion of the case is NOT given, then shouldn’t the Special Court and the Special Judge seek the advice of the Supreme Court before proceeding to conclude the case with the delivery of Judgement?

However JJ has been convicted, in which case, could it be said that the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings were done in unexplained ways to convict JJ?

https://www.facebook.com/prabhu.britto/posts/10152388238701752

Comparing Page 17. S. No. 14 and Page 24, 258 witnesses were examined. 76 were recalled and cross examined. 64 resiled/abandoned their earlier statements.

Hostile Witness clause not evoked and Hostile Witness protocol not followed. Sp.P.P. went ahead with what he deemed best.

After 10 years, the Sp.P.P. sought to recall 45 witnesses for cross examination. Reasons are NOT given in judgement.

Even if numbers are tried to be matched with earlier data, 45 does NOT agree with 258 NOR agree with 76 NOR agree with 64.

No reasons and no records of death of other witnesses nor any other reason for their inability to be cross examined not recorded in judgement.

Could the Sp.P.P. conduct the case proceedings as he deemed fit, without attributing reasons for his choice of action ???

Was the Sp.P. P. fair in the discharge of his duties?

Or like the unexplained behaviour of the 64 witnesses who resiled/abandoned their earlier positions on the case (and were NOT labelled hostile), was the action of the Sp.P.P. also supposed to be unexplained?

If JJ had been acquitted, the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings could be said that they were done in unexplained ways to help JJ to get acquitted.

However JJ has been convicted, in which case, could it be said that the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings were done in unexplained ways to convict JJ?

Does it point to any strategy to frame A-1 (JJ) (& convict her), right from the beginning of the case, which was set in motion right from the beginning of the case through induced irregularities (right from the beginning of the case as pointed out in Ref:1-3) which could camouflage the conviction at the end and make it appear to be a legal consequence instead of a framed conviction?

https://www.facebook.com/prabhu.britto/posts/10152391155881752

With regard to the irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1 – 3, A-1 (JJ) could have been right in asking for a de novo translation by summoning all the witnesses before the court, in which case A-1 (JJ) would have been given a fair chance to point out the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref: 1-3) by the Court and the Prosecution and ask & obtain relief from the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref: 1-3).

However, the Court seems to have rejected the application of A-1 (JJ). Therefore, did the Court do it in such a way so that the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref: 1-3) would remain there (right from the beginning of the case) and consequently aid the Judge to convict JJ at the end of the case?

Why did this NOT attract the attention of any of the legal or scientific fraternity?

Defense Lawyers for JJ could have been pressurised by the nature of the case, yet there are so many other Lawyers & Scientists who could have helped Defense Lawyers and JJ to understand these irregularities and attempt to get them corrected right from the beginning of the case so that JJ would NOT be framed with a conviction at the end of the case?

Was the High Court of Karnataka denied the opportunity of helping JJ to have a fair trial?

https://www.facebook.com/prabhu.britto/posts/10152391213456752

JJ could have been right in preferring Crl. Petition No. 3748/2010 before the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka and it is said that the learned Spl. P.P. also filed Crl. Petition No. 3766/2010.

However, did the Court and the Prosecution declare the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref:1-3) to the High Court of Karnataka?

If the Court and the Prosecution declared the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref:1-3), then, maybe the High Court of Karnataka would NOT have disposed of the petition of JJ, which could have resulted in an opportunity for a fair trial for JJ in the case.

Did the Court and the Prosecution NOT declare the irregularities (as pointed out in Ref: 1-3) to the High Court so that the irregularities would continue to remain in the conduct of the case and would serve to aid the conviction of JJ at the end of the case and make it appear like a fair conviction?

How was the Sp.P.P. allowed to continue his processes in such unexplained ways for the sake of any specific unexplained or undeclared purpose or motivation? However, JJ has been convicted, in which case, could it be said that the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings were done in unexplained ways with unquestioned approvals / permissions to the Sp.P.P. to convict JJ, accompanied with denial of right of relevant and significant information of the High Court and Supreme Court (as pointed out in Ref. 1-6) to ensure fair trial for JJ?

With specific reference to Ref: 3, read together Ref: 1-2 & 4-6, there is no explanation recorded in the Judgement regarding why

(a) the Spl. P.P. chose to recall and re-examine only 23 witnesses and

(b) the prosecution dispenses with the further examination of PW.256 and PW.51

Significance of PW.256 and PW.51 not mentioned in Judgement.

Further, (a), read together with Ref. 3,

the number of 23 witnesses

does NOT agree with the 258,

NOR the 76 who were recalled and cross examined,

NOR the 64 who resiled/abandoned their earlier statements.

Further hostile witness clause & hostile witness protocol NOT invoked.

Not mentioned whether this set of 23 witnesses who were chosen to be recalled and re-examined falls within the 64 or the 76 or falls outside the 76 but within the 258 accompanied with the fact that the Choice of population of 23 witnesses is also NOT explained.

Same questions as earlier arise, however the strength of the question whether the SP.P.P. could conduct the case as he deemed fit, without attributing reasons for his choice of action is further strengthened with each additional unexplained strange process called for by the Sp.P.P.

(i) Was the Sp.P. P. fair in the discharge of his duties?

(ii) How was the Sp.P.P. allowed to continue his processes in such unexplained ways for the sake of any specific unexplained or undeclared purpose or motivation?

(iii) If JJ had been acquitted, the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings could be said that they were done in unexplained ways to help JJ to get acquitted.

(iv) However, JJ has been convicted, in which case, could it be said that the unexplained acts and unexplained proceedings were done in unexplained ways with unquestioned approvals / permissions to the Sp.P.P. to convict JJ, accompanied with denial of right of relevant and significant information of the High Court and Supreme Court (as pointed out in Ref. 1-6) to ensure fair trial for JJ?

The Judge should have been happy that JJ did NOT ask for a complete stop to the current irregular proceedings, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7; JJ did NOT ask for the Court to restart the entire case, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7; JJ did NOT ask for a new Special Court, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7; JJ did NOT ask for quashing of the proceedings and be acquitted, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7; JJ had complete faith in the wisdom of the Officials prosecuting and judging her, and went with them all the way, to the extent of getting imprisoned (with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7)

Why is the judge appearing to complain that the considerable delay in the progress of the case was due the accused (to be read as JJ) moving “applications after applications before this Court at every stage of the proceedings raising different interlocutory issues purportedly to vindicate different facets of their right to a free and fair trial and virtually every order passed by this Court was carried in Appeal or Revision to the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka and then to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India”?

The Judge should have been happy

(1) JJ did NOT ask for a complete stop to the current irregular proceedings, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7

(2) JJ did NOT ask for the Court to restart the entire case, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7

(3) JJ did NOT ask for a new Special Court, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7

(4) JJ did NOT ask for quashing of the proceedings and be acquitted, with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7

(5) JJ had complete faith in the wisdom of the Officials prosecuting and judging her, and went with them all the way, to the extent of getting imprisoned (with reference to irregularities pointed out in Ref: 1-7)

“It is borne out from the records that, after the trial resumed before this Court, the accused moved applications after applications before this Court at every stage of the proceedings raising different interlocutory issues purportedly to vindicate different facets of their right to a free and fair trial and virtually every order passed by this Court was carried in Appeal or Revision to the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka and then to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India resulting in considerable delay in the progress of the case”

End Quote

With Reference to this and previous posts (Ref. 1-8), was it an attempt to deprive JJ of the fair chance to defend herself by introducing irregularities, forcing JJ to run here and there to seek legal remedies, spending valuable time, which could possibly and even eventually end up in weakening her defence evidence (sometimes as even natural death of some people who could have had valuable information that could have acquitted JJ)?

With specific Reference to Ref. 8, read together with Ref. 1-7, was there any specific reason why initially the Judge tried to explain that the delay in the conduct of the case proceedings was due to JJ?

In the quoted segment from S. No. 24 & 25 on Page 28, “persons named at Sl. Nos.5 and 29 are no more and the accused do not propose to examine the other witnesses named in the list and sought to close defence evidence”

In light of these happenings, and revisit of Ref. 8, read together with Ref. 1-7, was it a purely intentional delay caused, triggered by intentional irregularities so that JJ would have to spend time to overcome each irregularity, which would consequently take up a lot of time, in which time, even natural reasons would come in as death or disease and weaken defense evidence?

Why should a prior explanation and fixing the blame of the delay in conduct of the case proceedings on JJ and then mentioning a weakness caused due to death of two people be done, while discussing defense evidence?

Why should an understanding be attempted to be indicated that JJ was responsible for the delay in conduct of case proceedings?

Why should an understanding be attempted to be indicated that JJ could have been indirectly responsible for insufficiencies in defense evidence (caused due to death of two people) as a natural consequence of delay in conduct of the case proceedings?

“The accused submitted a list of 128 defence witnesses and amongst them examined 99 witnesses as DW.1 to DW.99 and produced in evidence Ex.D.1 to Ex.D.384.

25. ARGUMENTS:

On 29.07.2013, counsel for A-1 to A-4 filed a memo stating that the persons named at Sl. Nos.5 and 29 are no more and the accused do not propose to examine the other witnesses named in the list and sought to close defence evidence.”

Does this point to any planned introduction of irregularity in the translation so that inefficiency in translation would weaken the defense of JJ?

With Reference to quote from page 21, read together with Ref (1-9),

(a) : Was it required to obtain a Cabinet Decision or Was a Cabinet Decision obtained, to serve as a shield for the irregularities (Ref 1-9) and pursue the proceedings under the shelter of the strength of the Cabinet Decision?

(b) : Was the right of information of the Cabinet respected and was the Cabinet provided all details including possible irregularities as pointed out in previous references cited here?

(d) : Assistant Professors / Lecturers are never senior most in cadre. The senior most cadre is that of Professor and Senior Professor. Was there any specific reason to add emphasis with “senior most 20 Assistant Professors / Lecturers” when the cadre that they represent is NOT senior most?

(e) : Any academic or research or related work is always supervised or monitored or mentored by an Official with a higher cadre. In such case, why was it NOT deemed fit that a team of Professors & Senior Professors monitor or mentor or supervise the translation?

(f) :If there is any mistake or error in translation, it might even affect the possibility of JJ to have a fair trial and present her defence to prove her innocence. Keeping this in mind, why was there NOT a supervisory mechanism put in place for the translation?

(g) : Further, was the absence of the supervisory mechanism for translation an introduced irregularity so that mistakes or inefficient translation could possibly weaken the defense of JJ?

(h) : Further, was there any special reason NOT to involve any eminent academic team of linguistic researchers, scholars and serving or retired professors in the translation?

(i) : Does this point to any planned introduction of irregularity in the translation so that inefficiency in translation would weaken the defense of JJ?

With reference to quote from Pages 28 & 29, read together with Ref. 1-11,

(a) : The learned counsel for JJ would have also placed requests before the court under some legal provisions, as the learned counsel for JJ would have also had some good knowledge about the law and its legal provisions.

(b) : Mr Anbazhagan also would have placed a request to assist the prosecution under some legal provision.

(c) : However, it is NOT mentioned in what way Mr Anbazhagan (with an offer to assist the prosecution) is related to the case; whether he was part of the investigating team, or vigilance dept. official, or any official directly related to the case proceedings.

(d) : Quoting a legal provision, anyone could get involved in a case proceeding.

(e) : Was it absolutely necessary to have a new person (offering to assist the prosecution) getting involved with the case (on his own request), as if the Investigating Officials and the Prosecution were NOT capable of handling the case?

(f) :If it was absolutely necessary to have a new person (offering to assist the prosecution) getting involved with the case (on his own request), and reason not recorded in the Judgement, does it mean that the Investigating Officials and the Prosecution were NOT capable of handling the case? In which event, does the case proceedings have any merit?

(g) : Read together with Ref. 1-11, was the entry of this new person (Mr Anbazhagan, offering to assist the prosecution) meant to complicate the irregularities to a greater extent so that the probability of conviction of JJ would be the highest?

(h) : Since some of the complainants or those who passed orders to conduct enquiry already had the negative opinion of the Sarkaria Commission, was it investigated whether the new person coming into the case (on his own request) had a clean financial background, or whether there could be a possibility of political reasons or possibility of political vendetta or any other relevant check done on him (as he was coming into the case with an offer to assist the prosecution) and was it recorded in the judgement?

(i) : Further, read together with Ref. 1-11, when the learned counsel for JJ makes any request, it is turned down. But when someone unrelated comes into the case (on his own request) with an offer to assist the prosecution, he is permitted. Does this indicate that the case proceedings were conducted in a fair manner?

Whether Defense Lawyer Sri. B. Kumar said it or whether the references Ref 1-12 helped to understand it, isn’t the inference the same, though the two analysis are completely different; one being a legal analysis and the other being a scientific analysis?

When a convergence is achieved via two different analysis which are NOT related to each other, namely,

(a) a scientific evaluation of a manuscript (in this case the judgement) and

(b) analysis and statements of the Defense lawyer Shri. B. Kumar,

then, shouldn’t it be accepted that there could be a very high possibility that JJ could have been falsely implicated in the alleged offences at the behest of her political opponents (who also had Sarkaria Commission’s negative remarks against them)?

Kumar, however has addressed arguments for more than 80 hours elaborately dealing with every aspect of law and fact touching the points in controversy and has extensively dealt with each and every item of the income, expenditure, assets and pecuniary resources attributed to A-1 in an attempt to show that all the properties and assets held by A-1 are acquired out of her legitimate source known to law and that she is falsely implicated in the alleged offences at the behest of her political opponent.

26.1) In his prefatory submissions, the learned Senior Counsel has strongly objected to the investigation conducted by the I.O. and has strenuously contended that, these illegalities in the investigation and procedural infirmities go to the root of the matter vitiating the cognizance taken by this Court and the consequent trial held against the accused.”
