To

The Secretary to Government,
Ministry of Overseas Indians,
Government of India,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

I am enclosing herewith order of the Delhi High Court which had envisaged action on the part of the Government of India, on the issues involved in the Writ Petition No. 6149 of 1998.

Unfortunately, that has not been any tangible action, in spite the direction of the High Court.

My hopes of getting justice have been revived with the formulation of new Ministry. The Ministry has expressed his concern, compassion and sympathy for NRIs at the meeting of the World Malayalee Council held in Kerala House on 26.10.2004.

I am bringing my grievances to the notice of the Hon'ble Minister also.

I may be permitted to point out that the speech of Mr. Soli Sorabjee, (former Attorney General) made in the meeting of LAW ASIA convened to felicitate him on his appointment of the Chairman of U.N. Human Rights Committee, indicates the possibility of such grievances being agitated before and considered by the U.N.Committee. It is submitted that the Government of India should avoid a situation in which a citizen of India is driven to the necessity to appeal to the UN Body for vindication of his Human Rights.

I was deprived of the entire savings of my life when an unjust and illegal action of the police authority of the Country in collusion with private interests, in spite of favourable verdicts from the trial and appellate courts of that country.

A negation of Human Right is clearly established when a person is deprived of his property (exceeding crores of Rupees) without any justifiable reason whatever and when the Executive defies the judicial verdict.

This aspect could be presented by the representative of the Government of India before the Government of UAE.

In the alternative, the Government should expeditiously evolve a method for taking up the necessary legal proceedings for the vindication of the just claims of Non Residents. I m bringing this matter to the notice of the State of Kerala and other authorities and Members of Parliament from the Kerala State.

Yours faithfully,

(P.K.JABIR)
