The Supreme Court on June 16, refused to entertain Senior Advocate Yatin Oza’s petition to grant a stay on contempt proceedings initiated against him by the Gujarat High Court. The petition was thus withdrawn by Oza’s counsel, Senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi.

The Gujarat High Court bench of Justices Sonia Gokani and NV Anjaria, on June 9, registered a suo moto criminal contempt case against Oza for raising “accusing fingers…against the High court, High Court Administration and the Registry by irresponsible, sensational and intemperate delivery in an interview”. On June 5, Oza, Senior advocate and President of Gujarat High Court Advocates’ Association (GHCAA), had conducted a Facebook live briefing wherein he had alleged favouritism by the court and its administration for “lawyers of billionaires”.

A bench comprising Chief Justice SA Bobde, Justices AS Bopanna and MR Shah, was hearing the case wherein Oza asked for a stay on the suo moto contempt proceedings. Livelaw reported that Singhvi argued that the contempt notice was issued out of anger without any basis, to which the CJI responded, “Who told you they were angry with you? Allegations made against you have brought disrepute to the HC.

When Singhvi argued that injustice had been caused to his client, the CJI asked him to take his grievance to the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court instead. “We will not hear it,” said CJI Bobde.

The Gujarat High Court in its order mentioned, “When an attempt is made to shake this very foundation by creating disaffection, disrespect and also distrust in the working of the very Court, it is time for the court to exercise its extraordinary powers under Article 215 of the Constitution, of initiating actions for the contempt of courts against those who attempt to undermine the authority of law and bring disrespect and disrepute to this institution by scandalising the same.”

The allegations levied by Oza were to the tune of:

(1) corrupt practices being adopted by the registry of the High Court of Gujarat,

(2) undue favour is shown to high-profile industrialist and smugglers and traitors,

(3) The High Court functioning is for influential and rich people and their advocates,

(4) The billionaires walk away with order from the High Court in two days whereas the poor and non VIPs need to suffer,

(5) if the litigants want to file any matter in the High Court person has to be either Mr Khambhata or the builder or the company.

The bench has placed the matter before Chief Justice Vikram Nath for consideration whether to divest Oza from the designation of Senior Advocate and for assigning it to bench of appropriate strength.

The post SC refuses to entertain Yatin Oza’s plea to stay contempt proceedings by Guj HC appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Yatin Oza, Senior advocate and President of Gujarat High Court Advocates’ Association (GHCAA) has approached the Supreme Court against the suo moto criminal contempt notice issued against him by the Gujarat High Court.

The Gujarat High Court bench of Justices Sonia Gokani and NV Anjaria registered a suo moto criminal contempt case against Oza for raising “accusing fingers…against the High court, High Court Administration and the Registry by irresponsible, sensational and intemperate delivery in an interview”. On June 5, Oza had conducted a Facebook live briefing wherein he had alleged favouritism by the court and its administration for “lawyers of billionaires”.

In its June 9 order, the court reminded Oza of a 2016 contempt case against him [Yatin Narendra Oza Vs Khemchand Rajaram Koshthi ((2016) 15 SCC 236)] whereby the apex court had held, “We expect the appellant to constantly remind himself that the standing and dignity of the court matters to the nation and also to the collective.”

The bench observed that Oza made “serious allegations of corruption against the registry and also categorically alleged Forum shopping in no uncertain terms without any valid , significant or true basis.” It further said, “Instead of setting an example and moving forward towards the setting up of a better system of e Court which is the order of the day and the need of future, all possible attempts are made to doubt every step of the administration which is attempting to strike a balance of protecting the life in present times without closure of functioning of courts.”

Invoking its power to initiate contempt proceedings, the bench said, “When an attempt is made to shake this very foundation by creating disaffection, disrespect and also distrust in the working of the very Court, it is time for the court to exercise its extraordinary powers under Article 215 of the Constitution, of initiating actions for the contempt of courts against those who attempt to undermine the authority of law and bring disrespect and disrepute to this institution by scandalising the same.”

A notice has been issued to Oza under section 17 (dealing with procedure after cognizance) of the  Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Indian Express reported that the notice is returnable by June 16 and in the interim the court has restrained Oza from making any “scandalous remarks or holding official meeting and passing any resolution or circulating any material or communicating directly or indirectly either himself or through others in relation to the subject matter of contempt.”

The bench noted that during his live press conference, Oza called the court a gambling den and an Institute which caters only to the litigants with means and money power. He further levelled the following allegations against the court’s registry:

(1) corrupt practices being adopted by the registry of the High Court of Gujarat,

(2) undue favour is shown to high-profile industrialist and smugglers and traitors,

(3) the High Court functioning is for influential and rich people and their advocates,

(4) the billionaires walk away with order from the High Court in two days whereas the poor and non VIPs need to suffer,

(5) if the litigants want to file any matter in the High Court, person has to be either Mr Khambhata or the builder or the company.

The bench has placed the matter before Chief Justice Vikram Nath for consideration whether to divest Oza from the designation of Senior Advocate and for assigning it to a bench of appropriate strength.

Yatin Oza has been advocating for the physical functioning of courts and for courts to reopen since they are only taking up urgent matters via video conferencing hearings. Following differences with the Association on the same matter, he had even resigned from the post of President of GHCAA but later withdrew the same after GHCAA rejected it. Oza had also written to the Chief Justice askimg him to call for details from the Registry of the high court on 40-70 matters filed by four or five advocates that have not been placed before any bench.

नोटबंदी के ऐलान के चंद घंटों के बाद ही आश्रम रोड के अहमदाबाद डिस्ट्रिक्ट को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक में 500 करोड़ की बड़ी रकम जमा करने की खबर मिली। इस बैंक के डायरेक्टर बीजेपी के अध्यक्ष अमित शाह हैं। 19 दिसंबर को ईडी और इनकम टैक्स अफसरों ने इस बैंक में छह घंटे तक छापेमारी की कार्रवाई की। यह इस बैंक पर दूसरी कार्रवाई है।
 

कहा जा रहा है कि नोटबंदी के तीन दिन बाद ही यानी 8 से 12  दिसंबर, 2016  को एक को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक में 500 करोड़ रुपये जमा किए गए। बीजेपी के अध्यक्ष अमित शाह इस बैंक के निदेशकों में एक हैं। अब ईडी और आयकर विभाग के अधिकारी इस मामले की जांच कर रहे हैं। यह बैंक अहमदाबाद आश्रम रोड पर स्थित है। हालांकि इस छापेमारी के बारे में मीडिया में चुप्पी रही। या कहिये कि इस खबर को ब्लैक आउट कर दिया गया। मीडिया में तमिलनाडु के मुख्य सचिव पी रामा मोहन रेड्डी और जे शेखर रेड्डी के यहां छापेमारी की तो खूब चर्चा हुई लेकिन उस को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक में छापे को मीडिया में दबा दिया गया, जिसके निदेशक अमित शाह हैं।  

 
बुधवार यानी 21 दिसंबर को आयकर अधिकारियों ने चेन्नई के पॉश इलाके अन्नानगर में तमिलनाडु ‌ के मुख्य सचिव के घर से 30 लाख की नकदी और पांच किलो सोना बरामद करने का दावा किया। इसके अलावा उनके और सात अन्य ठिकानों पर छापे मारने का दावा किया गया। आयक विभाग के सूत्रों के मुताबिक मुख्य सचिव के बेटे विवेक राव और आंध्रप्रदेश के चित्तूर और चेन्नई में उनके कुछ  रिश्तेदारों के भी यहां छापे मारे गए। इससे पहले आयकर अधिकारियों ने तमिलनाडु के तीन बिजनेसमैन के यहां छापे मार कर 100 किलो सोना, 96 करोड़ रुपये मूल्य के 500 और 1000 रुपये के पुराने नोट और 34 करोड़ रुपये की नई करेंसी बरामद की। जिन व्यापारियों के यहां छापे मारे गए उनमें से एक जे शेखर रेड्डी भी था, जिसके तमिलनाडु के मुख्य सचिव के बेटे विवेक राव से कारोबारी संबंध बताए जा रहे हैं। जे शेखर रेड्डी को बुधवार को गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया था।
 
लेकिन इन छापों की तुलना में १९ दिसंबर को अहमदाबाद डिस्ट्रिक्ट को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक में पड़े ईडी और आयकर विभाग के छापे पर मिडिया में कमोबेश चुप्पी छाई रही। सिर्फ आउटलुक हिंदी ने इस खबर को छापी। इस सहकारी बैंक में जो 500  करोड़ रुपये जमा हुए थे, उसका ज्यादातर हिस्सा नोटबंदी के ऐलान की रात ही जमा किया गया था। इस बैंक की १९० शाखाएं हैं। लेकनि इतनी बड़ी रकम सिर्फ आश्रम रोड स्थित बैंक के मुख्यालय में ही जमा की गई। दरअसल 8 नवंबर की रात से बैंक में पैसा आना शुरू हो गया था। इस सहकारी बैंक के ज्यादातर ग्राहक और डिपोजिटर छोटे वेंडर और किसान हैं। आयकर विभाग अब इस बैंक से हासिल सीसीटीवी के विजुअल खंगाल रहा है। गुजरात के दूसरे सहकारी बैंकों में भी इसी तरह के अवैध नोट काफी बड़ी मात्रा में जमा किए गए हैं। सबरंगइंडिया ने अहमदाबाद  डिस्ट्रिक्ट को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक के मैनेजर से बात करने की कोशिश की लेकिन मैनेजर श्री बहेड़िया से बातचीत नहीं हो पाई। बिजली न होने की वजह से बैंक हमारे कॉल ट्रांसफर नहीं कर पाया।
 
इस मामले से जाहिर होता है कि बीजेपी से नजदीकी संबंध रखने वालों ने नोटबंदी के बाद बड़ी मात्रा में अपना पैसा इन सहकारी बैंकों में जमा किया है। गुजरात के १८ सहकारी बैंकों में से १७ का प्रबंधन और प्रशासन बीजेपी के हाथ में है।

गुजरात के एक सहकारी बैंक के पास 200 करोड़ रुपये का डिपोजिट आया। इस बैंक के चेयरमैन गुजरात के एक मंत्री शंकर भाई चौधरी हैं।
 
क्या नोटबंदी एक फरेब है। एक तरफ गुजरात के सहकारी बैंकों का इस्तेमाल बीजेपी के लिए अपने काले धन को ठिकाने लगाने में किया जा रहा है। दूसरी ओर, सरकार केरल और दूसरे राज्यों के सहकारी बैंकों को बरबाद करने में तुली है।

आरबीआई के निर्देश के मुताबिक आयकर विभाग और प्रवर्तन निदेशालय ने गुजरात के संदिग्ध सहकारी बैंकों की छानबीन शुरू कर दी है।
 
अहमदाबाद मिरर के मुताबिक प्रवर्तन निदेशालय ने सोमवार को आश्रम रोड स्थित एक सहकारी बैंक के आश्रम रोड स्थित ब्रांच में सात घंटे तक तलाशी ली और वहां से कुछ दस्तावेज बरामद किए। अहमदाबाद डिस्ट्रिक्ट को-ऑपरेटिव (एडीसी) बैंक की वेबसाइट में कहा गया है कि इसके निदेशकों में भाजपा के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष अमित शाह भी शामिल हैं। प्रवर्तन निदेशालय के जोनल दफ्तर से जुड़े एक अधिकारी ने 19 तारीख की कार्रवाई की पुष्टि करते हुए बताया कि 500 और 1000 के नोटों को बदलने और उन्हें जमा लेने के रिकार्ड में गड़बड़ी के शक के बाद छानबीन करने का फैसला किया गया। मुख्यालय से आदेश मिलने के बाद छापेमारी की गई।

नोटबंदी के ऐलान के बाद अहमदाबाद डिस्ट्रिक्ट को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक में यह दूसरी छापेमारी थी। बैंक अधिकारियों ने सार्वजनिक तौर पर यह स्वीकार किया कि वे प्रवर्तन निदेशालय के कर्मचारियों से पूरा सहयोग कर रहे हैं। चेयरमैन अजय पटेल ने कहा – प्रवर्तन निदेशालय के कर्मचारी सोमवार को रूटीन चेकिंग के लिए आए थे। वे शाम छह बजे चले गए। हालांकि सूत्रों का कहना था कि बैंक में तलाशी अभियान सात घंटे तक चला। उन्होंने कई दस्तावेजों की जांच की और सीसीटीवी फुटेज खंगाले। गौरतलब है कि नोटबंदी के फैसले के ऐलान में मोदी सरकार ने जिला सहकारी बैंकों में 500 और 1000 नोटों को बदलने और जमा करने पर रोक लगा दी थी। इसके बावजूद गुजरात के सहकारी बैंक इन नोटों को जमा करने और बदलने में कैसे सफल रहे। जबकि देश की आम जनता को बैंकों की लंबी लाइनों में लगना पड़ रहा है।
 
अहमदाबाद के सहकारी बैंक पर पहली छापेमारी की खबर मीडिया में आई थी। पूर्व बीजेपी विधायक यतीन ओझा ने इसके बारे में लोगों को जानकारियां दी थी। वेब पोर्टल और पीएम को लिखी खुली चिट्ठी के जरिये इस मामले के बारे में लोगों को बताया गया था। 18 नवंबर को सबरंगइंडिया ने इस मामले की रिपोर्ट प्रकाशित की थी। सबरंगइंडिया की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक – यतीन ओझा ने पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी पर देश को मूर्ख बनाने का आरोप लगाया था।

इसके पहले कोलकाता से निकलने वाले माकपा के मुखपत्र गणशक्ति में 8 नवंबर को यह रिपोर्ट छापी गई थी कि किस तरह बीजेपी के नेता पीएम मोदी के नोटबंदी के फैसले से पहले ही 500 और 1000 के नोटों को गैरकानूनी तौर पर बैंकों में जमा किया था। यह बताया गया था कि बीजेपी के एक खाते में किस तरह रहस्यमय तरीके से एक करोड़ रुपये जमा हो गए।

​​​​​​​असली सवाल है कि पश्चिम बंगाल में जो हुआ क्या वह दूसरे राज्यों में भी हुआ। और इससे भी बढ़ कर राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ और भाजपा के दूसरे सहयोगी संगठन का खातों का क्या हुआ।
नोटबंदी का फैसला लागू हुए 43 दिन हो चुके हैं। इस दौरान छोटे और बड़े डिपोजिटरों को बेहद मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ा है। मोदी सरकार की ओर से बगैर सोचे-समझे इस फैसले को लागू करने से आम लोगों की दिक्कतों को भारी मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ा है।

Reportedly, three days after the announcement of demonitisation, that is between November 8 and 12, 2016. a co-operative bank of which BJP President Amit Shah is Director has got Rs. 500 crore deposit which is now being investigated by both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax Authorities. The bank is located at Ahmedabad Ashram road.

 
These raids or searches too, unlike say the 24-hour long raids on the home of Tamil Nadu top bureaucrat, chief secretary P Rama Mohana Reddy, have been received with a media silence or can we say black out?

On Wednesday, December 21, Income Tax officials claim to have recovered nearly Rs. 30 lakh in cash and five kilograms of gold during raids at the bureaucrat's official residence in the city's upscale Anna Nagar locality and seven other locations, including at homes of his son Vivek Rao and some relatives in Chennai and Chittoor in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Earlier this month, taxmen found over 100 kg of gold, Rs. 96 crore in banned 500- and 1,000-rupee notes and Rs. 34 crore in new currency notes in raids at the homes of three Tamil Nadu businessmen, one of whom, J Sekhar Reddy, allegedly has business links with the Mr Rao's son. Mr Reddy was arrested on Wednesday.
Compared to this, there has been a relative media silence on the raids conducted by the ED and IT officials at the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank on December 19. Outlook Hindi has however carried a story.

A large part of this 500 crore, has been reportedly deposited on the same night of announcement of demonitisation. In all, this bank has 190 branches but the money in such large amount is deposited only in its head office at Ashramam Road. The money has started flowing to the bank just after the demonitisation announcement on the night of November 8.
Small vendors and farmers form the majority depositprs/ customers of the bank. This strengthens the doubt that, form where did such a huge amount of 500 crore was deposited in this bank. The IT Department is also verifying the CCTV visuals from the bank. Various co-operative banks in Gujarat were also piled up with such illegal money deposits. Sabrangindia contacted the bank to speak to Manager of the Bank, Mr Bahedia but due to a power cut, the bank was unable to transfer our calls.

This also indicates that, those who are in close ally with BJP would have deposited huge amounts in co-operative banks after demonitisation. Among eighteen Co-operative banks in Gujarat, seventeen are under the governance of BJP. The Co-operative bank in Gujarat has got deposits of Rs. 200 crore, where the Bank Chairman is a Gujarat Minister ShankarBhai Chaudhri.

Has de-moentization been a ruse, then for the ruling BJP to converting their black money through the co-operative banks in Gujarat, which are directly under their control; while trying to destroy the Co-operative banks in Kerala and other states ?

As directed by RBI, the IT department and the Enforcement Directorate has now begun conducting investigations into the suspect co-operative banks in Gujarat.

According to the Ahmedabad Mirror, the Enforcement Directorate on Monday conducted a seven hour long search at the premises of a district cooperative bank’s branch on Ashram Road and even seized some documents related to their operations, officials said. The official website of Ahmedabad District Co-operative (ADC) Bank, BJP national president Amit Shah is one of its directors. An ED official attached to the zonal office in Gujarat confirmed later on Monday, December 19 confirmed that, “ED had conducted searches at ADC Bank’s head office on Ashram Road.” The raid was conducted based on suspicions of discrepancies in exchange and deposit of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes following instruction from the head office.

This is the second such search conducted by the ED on the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank after the announcement on demonetisation. Bank officials have publicly confirmed the search was conducted and said they are extending full cooperation to the officials. “ED officials visited our bank for a routine check on Monday. They left at 6 pm,” said Chairman, Ajay Patel. Sources however said that the search was conducted over seven hours, following which, the ED officials checked several documents, recipes and even the CCTV footage. After demonetisation was announced last month, the RBI had barred the district central cooperative banks (DCCB) from exchanging and depositing old Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes. How then did this bank escape this bar when other cooperative banks have faced tremendous hardships all over the country?
 
The first raid was hardly reported at all by the media though former BJP MLA Yatin Oza had created waves on news web portals with an open letter to the prime minister Narendra Modi claiming that he had video evidence to prove how henchmen close to the ruling BJP had, queued up to deposit large sums at the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank. Monday’s raid by the ED and IT seems to bear this out. You Have Fooled the People, Narendrabhai, says ex-Confidante Yatin Oza, showcased by Sabrangindia by November 18.

Earlier, the Ganashakti paper in Kolkatta had exposed how, close to Rs One Crore was deposited, mysteriously in only one account of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on November 8, 2016, hours before the ‘secret’ decision taken by PM Modi and his cabinet to declare 500 and 1,000 Rs notes illegal.

The question raised then and which still remains is, if this is what happened in West Bengal, what about the party accounts in other states?

And what about the accounts and dealing of parent organisations like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and it’s affiliates?

Did they also know and benefit from the previous knowledge much like insider trading, which is an offence?

All over the country, small and big depositors have faced tremendous hardships over the past 43 days since the Modi government’s ill-considered move to announce the sudden de-monetization of the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 older notes.
 
 

The post ED Raids Ahmedabad District Co-operative Bank for 500 Crore Deposit Just After Note Ban: Amit Shah, a Director appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's former Gujarat colleague in BJP called the demonetization move as an exercise to fool people.
 
Yatin Oza, a former BJP MLA from Gujarat, has in an open letter to the prime minister, Narendra Modi sharply criticised him on the demonetization drive. It is an act ‘to fool the nation’, the letter says. In what could prove to be a costly expose for the ruling party in Delhi and Gujarat, Oza also alleged that the all the district cooperative banks controlled by people close to the BJP had been busy exchanging the old 500 and 1000 rupee notes from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m. on November 8-9 2016. He said he had a video recording to prove this allegation. Incidentally, Amit Shah BJP President was head of the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank in 2002.
 
Oza challenged the Prime Minister to prove him wrong.

He wrote,” You had through RBI called for the details of exact cash with denominations from all banks of the country on 08/11/2016. You yourself get it verified the veracity of my above statement. I assure you that if I am proved wrong I will tender a public apology.

The people of this country would also like to know that apart from those fortune-300 industrialists how much money builders, contractors more particularly contractors who have been awarded government contracts, miners who are more particularly involved in iron ore mining, other industrialists and above all politicians and bureaucrats have deposited the money.”-

The open letter dated November 15, has gone viral on social media.

Yatin Oza was formerly known in political circles as the mentor of the current BJP president Amit Shah. He joined the Aam Admi Party in July 2016 in Gujarat.

Following is the content of the letter going viral . India Samvad picked it from the facebook:

To, 
Shri Narendra Modi,
Honble The Prime Minister of India,
7, Lok Kalyan Marg, 
New Delhi.
Dear Narendra Bhai,

I hope this letter finds you in best of health and happiness.

On 8th of November 2016, after I heard your speech on demonetization, I was really very happy and from within complimented you for such a bold and historic step. Unfortunately, happiness did not last long. In the morning of 9th Nov, someone very near and dear informed me that yesterday i.e. on 8th Nov at around 12 in the afternoon wife of one of the leading industrialist of Ahmedabad in her presence came to a very leading jewellery shop and as per pre-order purchased gold worth 20 crores. Gold was ready and packed and it took two minutes to transfer gold and cash to each other. She was incidentally present at the shop buying pre ordered jewellery worth Rs. 5 lakhs. She is a doctor of a very high repute and eminence.

Having worked so closely with you and being a part of your kitchen cabinet at one point of time in past it immediately clicked to my mind that information of demonetization must have been conveyed well before announcement to your near and dear industrialist who in total controls 50% of black money of this country. Having spent whole day inquiring, thinking on the above lines the information that I gathered is shocking, by adhering to such a popularistic measure you have really befooled the people of this nation.

In fact your above move was to enrich your near and dear ones, your party and your party workers by apparently putting forward the national cause and interest. I have a video recording with me which will clearly and beyond reasonable doubt prove that all the near and close associates of Shri Amit Shah since 8th Nov till today are engaged into exchange business. There is a big queue outside their office and residence for conversion of black money into white at a discounted rate of 37%, people have queued up outside their office and residence. One has to go without identity with at least a sum of Rs. 1 Crore which will be counted by the employees and a bag containing Rs. 63 lakhs of valid denomination would be handed over. I could have easily parted with that video but as I know you, you will punish those standing in queue rather than booking those persons engaged in the business who are near and dear to Mr. Amit Shah. However, I will show the video to two or three senior journalists and intimate you about the same so that you can cross check and verify the genuineness of my statement from the journalists.

One who knows you would refuse to accept that the ban that you imposed on district co-operative banks yesterday was after you received an information that large scale irregularities and illegalities were committed at that level. Even your enemy would respect your ability, capacity and intelligence. One thing is certain that such an important aspect could not have been out of your mind. I for one know very well that you will not act unless a complete blue print of your action is in your mind. All pros and cons of your action would very much be alive in your mind before you act. This in my respectful submission was permitted to be done in Gujarat because all district co-operative banks are controlled by people committed to BJP. These banks right from 9 PM on 8/11/2016 till 5 AM on 9/11/2016 exchanged Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes against smaller denomination. You had through RBI called for the details of exact cash with denominations from all banks of the country on 08/11/2016. You yourself get it verified the veracity of my above statement. I assure you that if I am proved wrong I will tender a public apology.

To weed out any doubt in the mind of people of India that sharks and whales have been let off and that your dear and near industrialists were intimated well in advance about demonetization, you should inform the people of India by disclosure on the official website of Government of India about disclosure of above 1 Crore. I am sure that not one chairman or MD or director of first 300 fortune companies of India would make a disclosure and if they dont than my allegations stands proved. I saw people hungry and thirsty standing in queue for Rs. 4000 and small deposits but I did not find a single Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Porsche or Range rover outside any bank or any owner of the said vehicle in a queue either for withdrawal or deposit of money. In your opinion possibly the black money was hoarded only by those people in queue either at the ATM or with bank but not with owners of vehicles mentioned above. The people of this country would also like to know that apart from those fortune 300 industrialists how much money builders, contractors more particularly contractors who have been awarded government contracts, miners who are more particularly involved in iron ore mining, other industrialists and above all politicians and bureaucrats have deposited the money. Unless the people of this country have the above information as to who has deposited what amount, the allegation that the hoarders of 50% of black money i.e. those 10-12 like industries have been blessed by you by prior intimation will stand proved. Moreover, at least poor and helpless people who have stood outside the bank in queue for petty amount would like to know what is the amount of deposit made by those 10-12 industries whom you allotted the land worth more than 1 lakh crores and who did not generate between themselves employment worth 7000 people. The publication of deposits on website would also throw light as to who are the persons who have deposited 300 to 400 crores and what action Income Tax department would take if they deposits either do not match with the return or known source of Income. I request you to also inquire the purchase of gold & diamonds sold on 7th and 8th before 8 PM and by whom. This will enable people to think as to why few top notch needed purchase of huge amount of gold and diamonds.

Be kind and gracious enough to share the aforesaid information on the official website of the government of India so that people of this country may judge whether demonetization is for larger good of the country or for the benefit directly to you, your loved ones and your party workers.

Sincerely yours
Yatin Oza
