Contempt Case 897/2024 (Seema Sapra versus Kanwal Jeet Arora) was listed for hearing on 29 May 2024, when I sought time to inspect the Court file in order to find out what documents had been placed on record to show compliance by the Registrar General Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora with the order dated 8 May 2024 passed in Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024, by which Order the following direction was issued to the Registrar General of the Delhi High Court. 5. We request the Registrar General of the Court to communicate a copy of this order to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell. |
The Order passed on 20 May 2024 in Contempt Case 897/ 2024 is reproduced below. $~69 * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + CONT.CAS(C) 897/2024 SEEMA SAPRA ..... Petitioner Through: Petitioner in person. versus KANWAL JEET ARORA, AN OFFICER OF DHJS ..... Respondent Through: Mr.Shashank Garg and Ms.Aradhya Chaturvedi, Advs. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE YASHWANT VARMA HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PURUSHAINDRA KUMAR KAURAV O R D E R % 29.05.2024 1. The petitioner who appears in person prays for the matter being placed for 09 July 2024 in order to enable her to inspect the record and ascertain whether our order of 08 May 2024 stands complied with. 2. Let the matter be called again on 09.07.2024 at 2:15 PM. YASHWANT VARMA, J. PURUSHAINDRA KUMAR KAURAV, J. MAY 29, 2024/MJ |
I inspected the Court files in Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024 on 29 May 2024 itself. The documents as found during inspection on 29 May 2024 to have been placed in the Court files by the Delhi High Court Registry are described in detail below. It is clear from these documents that Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora, presently posted on deputation as Registrar General of the Delhi High Court has not only failed to comply with the Court’s direction in Order dated 8 May 2024, but the acts of commission and omission by Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora, (and by certain other Delhi High Court Registry Officials including Joint Registrar Ms. Geetha Gopinathan (presently posted as PA to the Registrar General), Mr Bharat Singh Rawat Admin Officer Judicial presently attached to the Office of the Registrar General, Ms. Manju Bhatiani Admin Officer Judicial presently posted in the Contempt Cases Branch, and Ms. Mallika Srivastava presently posted as Dealing Assistant in the Contempt Cases Branch) have by design resulted in (i) failure to communicate the order to the DCP Special Cell in a timely manner and (ii) misleading the DCP Special Cell so as to unduly influence the DCP’s affidavit and to prevent the DCP from filing a proper affidavit addressing the Petitioner’s submissions that no threat assessment has been carried out and that a forged document has been produced as a “Threat assessment report”. On 29 May 2024, during inspection of the court files I found the following documents placed in physical form in Part B of the Court file of Contempt Case 560/2024. These were not included in the scanned files. No documents showing action by the Registry pursuant to the Order dated 8 May 2024 had been scanned or placed on the digital record of Part B of the court files in Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024 Some documents were present in Part B of the physical court file of Contempt Case 560/2024. | A document bearing number 19722-X over the date 10 May 2024 purporting to be a letter from AOJ CC to AOJ Writ Branch Criminal Querying if communication was placed before Court in WP Crl 437/2018, send copy of same to CCP Branch for further action. This letter was sent referencing CCP 720/2024 | On the top in Part B of the file, was a green page with an office noting referencing CC 560/2024 It stated thar Ref Order dt 8-5-2024, DFA is added for DCP Spl Cell through email address also for 24/7/2024. May issue. The date is 21 May. There are two signatures on this noting. With no designation. These are apparently signatures of the dealing assistant and the AOJ CCP. | A typed letter bearing the number 27593-X over the date 21-5-2024. This is a typed letter signed by the AOJ addressed to DCP Special Cell at a Lodhi Road address. The letter only mentions Contempt Case 560/2024. An email address is mentioned on this letter jt.cp.splcell@delhipolice.gov.in This letter states that a copy of the Order dated 8 May 2024 is enclosed. It also states that a copy of the Order dated 1 June 2023 is also enclosed. The letter also states “Also, please find enclosed a document (No.______ / C & R Cell (S-IV) Spl Cell, dated Delhi the _______/2023”. This letter is apparently signed by the AOJ of the Contempt Cases Branch, though no name is printed. The enclosures are not in the court file. The mode of dispatch is not mentioned. The proof of dispatch is not in the court file. Copy of email sent is not in the court file. | There was another typed letter bearing the number 27594-X over the date 21-5-2024. This letter was the same as the letter bearing the number 27593-X over the date 21-5-2024. However in this letter, white fluid has been used to cover the email address. | Page with noting stating DFA for signature by RG dated 24 May 2024 with several signatures. Draft was not attached. | Letter bearing a number 28033-X over the date 24-5-2024 with word Urgent Signed purportedly by the Registrar General Addressed to DCP Spl Cell at Lodhi Road address. Referencing Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024. An email address is mentioned on this letter jt.cp.splcell@delhipolice.gov.in This letter states that a copy of the Order dated 8 May 2024 is enclosed. It also states that a copy of the Order dated 1 June 2023 is also enclosed. The letter also states “Also, please find enclosed a document (No.______ / C & R Cell (S-IV) Spl Cell, dated Delhi the _______/2023”. This letter is purportedly signed by the Registrar General. Attached is a copy of the forged Threat assessment report, however this copy was in reduced size and was much dimmer copy than what was filed in WP Crl 437/2018. A bad copy which is unclear The mode of dispatch is not mentioned. The proof of dispatch is not in the court file. Copy of email sent is not in the court file. | Document dated 24/5/2024 Query regarding para 1 of Order dated 8/5/2024 Case was not listed on 17 October 2023. AOJ |
Copies of my notes in pencil taken by me during inspection of the court files on 29 May 2024 are attached. I made further inquiries in the Delhi High Court on 31 May 2024 which was the last working day of the Delhi High Court before the month-long summer vacations. ‘ The attached documents have my notes in pen made during my inquiries at the dispatch section. On 31 May 2024, I spoke with Ms Rashmi Kaushal Court Attendant in the Dispatch Section. Rashmi Kaushal checked the dispatch registers and confirmed the following to me. Dispatch Diary No. 27593-X belongs to a completely different case Contempt Case 715/2024 and an ordinary courier was dispatched to Rampur. | Dispatch Diary No. 27594-X belongs to a completely different case CM 2543/2024and was dispatched to the District Judge of Jammu & Kashmir. | Dispatch Diary No. 28033-X was for a Letter sent to DCP Special Cell at a Lodhi Colony address. I was told it had been handed over to Dispatch Rider Sunil Kumr on 28 May. There was no entry for receipt on delivery in the registers with Rashmi Kaushal. I was told to check with Sunil Kumar another day and that he was supposed to get a receipt endorsed in his register upon delivery. Whether this delivery has taken place is still unconfirmed. Rashmi Kaushal first told me that no email had been sent for this dispatch number. She later asked the data entry man and he confirmed that an email had been sent on 24 May. I was given a copy of the email and its attachment. These are attached. The email is dated 24 May 2024. It has been sent to the Joint CP Special Cell at jtcp.splcell@delhipolice.gov.in There is no Joint CP presently in the Special Cell so this is a non-functional email. The Court Order dated 8 May 2024 clearly specified that the Order had to be sent by the Registrar General to the DCP Special Cell SR who has to file the affidavit. The email of the DCP Special Cell SR is easily available and is on the Delhi Police website and is dcp.splcellsr@delhipolice.gov.in The attachments sent with this email include the Letter bearing a number 28033-X over the date 24-5-2024 with word Urgent Signed purportedly by the Registrar General Addressed to DCP Spl Cell at Lodhi Road address. Referencing Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024. An email address is mentioned on this letter jt.cp.splcell@delhipolice.gov.in This letter states that a copy of the Order dated 8 May 2024 is enclosed. It also states that a copy of the Order dated 1 June 2023 is also enclosed. The letter also states “Also, please find enclosed a document (No.______ / C & R Cell (S-IV) Spl Cell, dated Delhi the _______/2023”. This letter is purportedly signed by the Registrar General. The attachments to the email include the memo of parties in the seven contempt cases, copy of Order dated 8 May 2024 and copy of Order dated 1 June 2023. The attachment to this email does not include the copy of the forged Threat assessment report. The attachment to this email does not include copies of the Petitions in Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721 of 2024. Petition copies are always supposed to be sent with court orders/ notices. |
Therefore, documents with dispatch numbers 27593 and 27594 both dated 21 May 2024 were fabricated and placed on the court file. An elaborate plan was hatched to avoid compliance with the Court Order dated 8 May 2024. This included intra registry communications to show as if the Registry was searching for the “communication” mentioned in the Order dated 8 May 2024. Three dispatch diary numbers were created for this 19722, 16721, 16720. To be clear, there was no court direction to send a copy of this document/ forged threat assessment report to the DCP. No compliance happened till 22 May 2024 when I met the Registrar General for the second time. On 22 May 2024, documents with the date 21 May 2024 were fabricated and shown to me with the file in Geetha Gopinathan’s office after the Registrar General requested this. I was lied to and misled by Kanwal Jeet Arora, Geetha Gopinathan and Mallika Srivastava that the Order dated 8 May 2024 had been sent to the DCP Special Cell. CCTV from the RG Secretariat must be preserved. I saw through the lies and sent an email dated 23 May 2024 titled “Contempt of Court and fabrication of evidence by Registrar General of Delhi High Court Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora of Delhi High Court Order of 8 Maty 2024 in Contempt Case 720/ 2024 et al”. I filed Contempt Case 897/ 2024 against Delhi High Court Registrar General Kanwal Jeet Arora on 24 May 2024. The email sent to the Jt CP Special Cell email address was sent on 24 May 2024 at 3.18 pm after Contempt Case 897/2024 was served/ filed. In any case, even this has been sent to the wrong person/email which email is non-functional. So this email does not amount to compliance. On 29 May 2024, lawyer Shashank Garg appeared in Contempt Case 897/2024 and stated that he had instructions that the Order had been sent to the DCP. Who gave these wrong instructions to Shashank Garg? Who misled the Delhi High Court Judges Committee which apparently issued these instructions to Shashank Garg? On 29 May, after the hearing, I applied to inspect and inspected the court files. Fabricated documents were placed on the court file to show as if the Order dated 8 May 2024 was complied with on 21 May. CCTV from the Inspection room must be preserved. I alerted senior officers of the Delhi High Court Registry on 31 May 2024 that there must be no attempt to remove the fabricated documents from the court file of Contempt Case 560/2024. Not only have court records been fabricated, but an email sent on 24 May attaching a letter with signatures of the Registrar General, has been sent to a nonfunctional email jtcp.splcell@delhipolice.gov.in The Court order was to send it to DCP Special cell SR. Instead the RG letter has been mailed to a nonfunctional email. The Special Cell currently has no Joint CP. It has a Spl CP and an addnl CP. It has several DCPs. The present DCP Spl Cell SR is Amit Kaushik. He has to file the affidavit as directed by the Court. Further by misdescribing the document (forged Threat Assessment Report) in the Registry communication and by enclosing a modified copy of this document, an attempt has been made to mislead the DCP into filing a false affidavit. This is fabrication of evidence. The Registrar General of the Delhi High Court Kanwal Jeet Arora has still not complied with the Court Order dated 8 May 2024 and continues to commit contempt of court.

2. In paragraph 5 of this Order dated 8 May 2024, the Court had directed the Registrar General of the Delhi High Court to “to communicate a copy of this order to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell.” This special direction was made by the Division Bench upon the suggestion of Hon’ble Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav given the gravity of the matter. This direction is not a matter of course. A special request was made to the Registrar General to personally communicate a copy of the order to the DCP Special Cell SR. 3. The Order dated 8 May 2024 directs the DCP Special Cell SR to explain the document filed by lawyer Anand Khatri acting as Additional Standing Counsel Criminal for GNCTD as Annexure G (at page 128) to a Status Report filed on the Court record of WP Criminal 437/ 2018, which Status Report was purportedly signed by Manoj C., IPS AGMUT 2011 in his then capacity as DCP South West Delhi. This Status Report was filed by Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023. 4. A copy of the Index (Table of Contents) of the Status Report filed by lawyer Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 is annexed hereto as Annexure A-1. In this Index, Annexure G to the Status Report is described as Threat assessment report. 5. Paragraph 7 of the Status Report filed on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 under the signature of DCP Manoj C. in WP Crl 437/ 2018 reads as follows: 17. That, the threat assessment report in respect of the petitioner Ms. Seema Sapra has also been carried out through Special Cell/ SR, which has been revealed that there is no reasonable or apparent element of threat to the Asesses/Petitioner from any quarter. However. Police security/ protection has been provided to the Petitioner. Assessment report submitted by the DCP Special Cell (SR) Delhi is annexed herewith as Annexure -G. |
6. The Order dated 8 May 2024 notes the Written Submissions which were handed over by the Petitioner to the Bench on 8 May 2024. These are reproduced below. Submissions on forged document described as the Threat Assessment Report 1. Filed in WP Crl 437/2018 with a Status Report purportedly signed by Manoj C. as DCP South West. The Status Report is undated. 2. The date of the document has been deliberately obscured. 3. The document number has been deliberately obscured. 4. The signature of the author has been deliberately obscured. 5. The stamp of the author has been deliberately obscured. 6. Alok Kumar’s name is shown as signatory and described as DCP Special Cell SR. 7. Alok Kumar was not a DCP in the Special Cell. Alok Kumar was only an Additional DCP in the Special Cell. 8. The document does not bear any stamp of the DCP South West who filed it. 9. The only stamps legible are those of Vasant Kunj South Police Station when there is no reason for this document to have been sent to Vasant Kunj South Police Station. 10. The Petitioner’s landlord’s name is incorrect. It should be Mamraj Yadav. Instead, it reads Mamchand Yadav. 11. The Petitioner’s address is incorrect. The Petitioner does not live in her landlord’s house. She is renting a separate walled compound at a short distance from the residence of the landlord. 12. The document records that “the threat assessment of the assessee Ms Seema Sapra has been carried out on the direction of PHQ’s received vide No. P/1010/3290/9456/XIII(B)PHQDelhi dated 19.06.23. This document has not been produced. This document does not exist. No such communication was sent to the Petitioner from the Police Head Quarters. 13. The Petitioner was never contacted about this alleged threat assessment exercise. No threat assessment has been carried out. 14. The statement that “Enquiry into the matter has been carried out by Special Cell (SR) which has revealed that there is no reasonable or apparent elment of threat to the assessee from any quarter” is false and untrue. The Petitioner was never contacted. No threat assessment has been carried out. The Petitioner faces a grave and immediate threat to her life. The filing of this forged document as a Police threat assessment report to obstruct the Delhi High Court protection order dated 1 June 2024 and the conduct of several DCPs in WP Crl 437/ 2018 and in WP Civil 13604/ 2024 establishes beyond an iota of doubt that State agencies including Delhi Police are being used to target and poison the Petitioner. The threat to the Petitioner’s life emanates from powerful persons who have dared to forge a police document and to file it in the Delhi High Court believing with impunity that they will escape any consequences. This points to the role of several lawyers. 15. The document contains a false statement that “Presently, 01 PSO (on round the clock basis) is being provided to her from PS Vasant Kunj South, Delhi.” This statement is false. And it amounts to perjury and is fabrication of false evidence. 16. Why is the Police falsely stating on record that a PSO has been provided to the Petitioner without having done so. This clearly points to an ongoing criminal conspiracy by the Police to eliminate the Petitioner using Delhi High Court proceedings. 17. It is clear that the threat to the Petitioner’s life emanates from as high as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah who helped cover up the Petitioner’s whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company now known as GE Aerospace. 18. The document also falsely records that “This has the approval of Spl. CP/ Spl. Cell Delhi. 19. Why would a copy be given to SI R P Meena of Vasant Kunj South PS? 20. The alignment of the document’s contents is skewed. 21. Why is this document addressed to the Addl Commissioner of Police, New Delhi Range. 22. Why is this document addressed to the Addl Commissioner of Police, New Delhi Range (Through Inspr. X/PHQ). 23. There are several other stamps/ notings on the document which are deliberately obscured. 24. The only legible stamps are those of the Police Station Vasant Kunj South which was not the proper recipient of this document. 25. At the top of the document the Office is identified as Office of DCP Special Cell C&R Cell (S-IV) Special Cell Delhi. Below the alleged signature it reads Special Cell (SR). 26. Why does the word Delhi appear after “dated”? 27. The Petitioner submits that a prima facie case for forgery is made out. 28. WP Civil 13604/ 2024 was filed in October 2023. Almost 8 months have elapsed. A better copy of the document has not even been filed. All concerned DCPs are missing from the action in Court. Staff from the Vasant Kunj South PS which from the face of the document was involved in the forgery are impersonating as authorised officers and attending court proceedings in WP Civil 13604/ 2023. Seema Sapra Petitioner in Person 8 May 2024 |
7. The Petitioner filed WP Civil 13604/ 2024 on 12 October 2023 seeking the following relief. (i) Direct the Commissioner of Police to produce the original of the document filed as Threat Assessment Report of the Delhi Police in WP Crl 437/2018; (ii) Direct the registration of an FIR for forgery of the document filed as Threat Assessment Report of the Delhi Police in WP Crl 437/2018; (iii) In the alternative, quash the Threat Assessment Report of the Delhi Police filed in WP Crl 437/2018; (iv) Direct the Commissioner of Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs to conduct a de-novo, thorough and proper assessment of the threat to the life of the Petitioner after considering all the information, complaints, documents and evidence to be supplied by her; (v) Direct the Commissioner of Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs to immediately provide full protection to the Petitioner so as to ensure that the Petitioner is not harmed in any manner including by Policemen; (vi) Direct the Commissioner of Police, the DCP New Delhi and the Ministry of Home Affairs to provide immediate and full protection to the Petitioner after looking into the threat to her life based upon documentary evidence to be supplied by the Petitioner; (vii) Record the statement of the Petitioner that absolutely no security or protection is being provided to her by Delhi Police and that no PSO has been provided to the Petitioner from Vasant Kunj South Police Station and nor has the Petitioner accepted any such PSO; (viii) Record the statement of the Petitioner that she is not willing to accept any PSO from Vasant Kunj South Police Station and neither is she willing to accept any protection from or any interaction with any policeman/ policewoman from Vasant Kunj South Police Station including the beat constables posted in Rajokri as this will only increase the threat to her life; (ix) To pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case. |
8. An order was passed in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 issuing notice. However, the Order dated 17 October 2023 contained the following mistakes. 1. The Order failed to record that the Petition was filed seeking registration of an FIR for forgery on the ground that the alleged Threat assessment report was a forgery. Instead, the Order dated 17 October 2023 misrecorded that the Petitioner “states that she has doubt on the veracity of the aforesaid report”. | 2. The Order dated 17 October 2023 failed to record that a prima facie case for forgery was made out on a bare perusal of the Threat assessment report. | 3. The Order dated 17 October 2023 misrecorded that the threat assessment report was dated Nil. This is incorrect. The document bears a date part of which is visible but which has been obscured deliberately. | 4. The Order dated 17 October 2023 misrecords that the “threat assessment has been carried out in compliance of the Order dated 01.06.2023 passed by this Court in W.P.(Crl) 437/2018.” A document which on plain scrutiny appears suspect and which is missing crucial information cannot be taken cognizance of and which appears to be forged cannot be relied upon to make such statement. No threat assessment was carried out to the knowledge of the Petitioner. She was never contacted. | 5. The Order dated 17 October 2023 misrecords that “In the said report, it is stated that there is no reasonable or apparent threat to the Petitioner/Assessee from any quarter.” Why is the Court in a Writ Petition that claims that the Threat assessment report is forged, going on to record the alleged finding of the Report without first determining as to whether the document is genuine or forged. | 6. The case was wrongly marked to Justice Subramonium Prasad sitting in a Single Bench in violation of the court roster. The case was therefore transferred to a Division Bench later, on the Petitioner’s request. | 7. The Order dated 17 October 2023 is perverse, i.e., contrary to the accepted or expected standard or practice. |
9. The Petitioner filed CM APPL. 54952/2023 in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 for modification and correction of the Order dated 17.10.2023. This was listed on 3 November 2023, when instead of correcting the mistakes made in the Order dated 17 October 2023, Justice Subramonium Prasad recused. CM APPL. 54952/2023 remains pending and undecided to date. 10. Nevertheless, despite issuance of notice, the Police Respondents failed to appear in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 and failed to file counter affidavits, perhaps hoping to capitalise on the mistakes in the Order dated 17 October 2023 and to use the mistakes in that Order to cover up the filing of a forged document as a Threat assessment report. 11. The Petitioner was therefore constrained to file the following Contempt cases. CONT.CAS(C) 557/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus PRANAV TAYAL IPS AGMUT 2011 | CONT.CAS(C) 558/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus INSPECTOR SAHDEV KUMAR RANA | CONT.CAS(C) 559/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus SUB-INSPECTOR CHETAN RANA | CONT.CAS(C) 560/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus MANOJ C. IPS AGMUT 2011 | CONT.CAS(C) 561/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus ADDITIONAL DCP ALOK KUMAR DANIPS 2010 | CONT.CAS(C) 720/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus ROHIT MEENA IPS AGMUT 2012 | CONT.CAS(C) 721/2024 SEEMA SAPRA versus DEVESH KUMAR MAHLA IPS AGMUT 2012 |
12. It is in these seven Contempt Cases, that the Order dated 8 May 2024 reproduced in paragraph 1 above, came to be passed. 13. The Order dated 8 May 2024 contains the following errors and therefore the following modifications/ additions are being suggested by the Petitioner to the Order dated 8 May 2024. 1. The forged document is erroneously described in the Order dated 8 May 2024 as “a communication which is stated to have been placed before the Court on 17 October 2023”. The correct position is that this document was filed on 6 October 2023 by lawyer Anand Khatri acting as Additional Standing Counsel Criminal for GNCTD as Annexure G (at page 128) to a Status Report filed on the Court record of WP Criminal 437/ 2018, which Status Report was purportedly signed by Manoj C., IPS AGMUT 2011 in his then capacity as DCP South West Delhi. This Status Report was filed by Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023. A copy of the Index (Table of Contents) of the Status Report filed by lawyer Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 is annexed hereto as Annexure A-1. In this Index, Annexure G to the Status Report is described as Threat assessment report. Paragraph 7 of the Status Report filed on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 under the signature of DCP Manoj C. in WP Crl 437/ 2018 reads as follows: “That, the threat assessment report in respect of the petitioner Ms. Seema Sapra has also been carried out through Special Cell/ SR, which has been revealed that there is no reasonable or apparent element of threat to the Asesses/Petitioner from any quarter. However. Police security/ protection has been provided to the Petitioner. Assessment report submitted by the DCP Special Cell (SR) Delhi is annexed herewith as Annexure -G.” This document was annexed by the Petitioner in Civil WP 13604/ 2023. | 2. It would be more useful if the Order dated 8 May 2024 records that the Petitioner’s case is that this Threat Assessment report is a forged document for the reasons set out in Writ Petition Civil 13604/ 2023 and in the Written Submissions handed over by the Petitioner on 8 May 2024. The DCP filing the affidavit can then do so being fully informed as to the case to be answered by him and as to what kind of inquiry he needs to undertake before filing an affidavit. | 3. Since the present Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) is not the alleged author of the forged document, it will be appropriate to direct the present Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) to make an inquiry and to thereafter state on affidavit as to whether the document is forged or genuine. The present Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) can also be directed to identify in his affidavit as to who is the Alok Kumar who has allegedly signed this document. The present Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) can also in his affidavit state as to who was the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) on and before 6 October 2023 (i.e., between June 2023 and 6 October 2023) and as to whether or not it was Alok Kumar. | 4. It will be more appropriate for the Court to ask Alok Kumar, the alleged signatory of the document to state on affidavit if the document is genuine or forged. The Court can also direct Alok Kumar to explain the genesis of the document if he has this knowledge. | 5. Paragraph 3 of the Order dated 8 May 2024 erroneously states that a “copy of the original communication which was produced before the Court”. The correct position is that this document was filed on 6 October 2023 by lawyer Anand Khatri acting as Additional Standing Counsel Criminal for GNCTD as Annexure G (at page 128) to a Status Report filed on the Court record of WP Criminal 437/ 2018, which Status Report was purportedly signed by Manoj C., IPS AGMUT 2011 in his then capacity as DCP South West Delhi. This Status Report was filed by Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023. A copy of this document was annexed to WP Civil 13604/ 2023 by the Petitioner. No original communication was produced before the Court. This statement in the Order dated 8 May 2024 is erroneous and likely to be misinterpreted. | 6. The portion in the Order dated 8 May 2024 reading “Any other related record concerned with the assessment of threat which was undertaken pursuant to the order dated 01 June 2023 passed by the Court in W.P. (Crl.) 437/2018” be modified to any other record related to this document described as a Threat assessment report. This is what the Court had stated in Court while dictating the Order. Before determining the genuineness of the document, it will be misleading to record that any assessment of threat was undertaken pursuant to the order dated 01 June 2023 passed by the Court in W.P. (Crl.) 437/2018. It will be appropriate to direct the DCP to state on affidavit as to whether or not a threat assessment has been carried out, and if it was carried out, then what was the nature of the exercise and who carried it out. | 7. The Registrar General may be directed to also supply copies of pleadings in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 and in Contempt Cases 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721/ 2024 to the DCP. | 8. The Registrar General may be directed to also supply a copy of the Petitioner’s written submissions dated 8 May 2024 to the DCP. | 9. The Registrar General be directed to provide a copy of his communication with the DCP to the Petitioner. | 10. This Order needs to be passed in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 and the DCP Special Cell SR Affidavit must be filed in WP Civil 13504/ 2023. |
14. It is very unfortunate that Shri Kanwal Jeet Arora, presently posted as Registrar General of the Delhi High Court has failed to comply with the Court order dated 8 May 2024. According to the direction in this order, the Registrar General was required to send a copy of the order to the DCP Special Cell SR under his own signature due to the seriousness of the matter. 15. Unfortunately, even as on 22 May 2024, it was confirmed to the Petitioner by Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora himself, that he had not complied with the direction in paragraph 5 of the Court order dated 8 May 2024 and that neither he nor his office had sent the Order dated 8 May 2024 to the DCP Special Cell SR. Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora told the Petitioner in the week of 13 May that he would send the order to the DCP but this was not done. Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora again told the Petitioner on 22 May that he would send the order to the DCP but this was not done. 16. On 22 May 2024, the Petitioner was lied to by Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora and by Ms Geetha Gopinathan that the order had been sent to the DCP. When the Petitioner asked to see the communication, a strange undated letter (with a hand written date of 21 May 2024) signed by the Branch Admin Officer or junior court official was shown to her by Ms Geetha Gopinathan and she was told that this had been sent to the DCP through dispatch and email. However, no proof of dispatch and neither any email was placed on the court file. This letter stated that it was enclosing copies of Orders dated 8 May 2024 and Order dated 1 June 2023. A copy of the forged Threat assessment report was also apparently enclosed but it has been wrongly described as a communication identifying it as No. /C&R Cell (S-IV) Spl Cell, dated Delhi the /2023. The letter of the Registry shown to the Petitioner deliberately leaves the date and document number blank even though these have been clearly obscured in the actual document filed in Court. The Registry letter to the DCP therefore amounts to fabrication of evidence and is intended to mislead as if this document does not have a date or document number when in fact the document does have a date and document number which cannot be read. This amounts to a deliberate attempt to mislead the DCP. This also amounts to fabrication of evidence. 17. There is no need for the Registry to send the forged document to the DCP. The DCP should take a copy from lawyer Anand Khatri who filed it. As we are dealing with a forged document, it is unwise for the Registry to make copies and send those as the copies might be tampered with, might be dim etc or may get other new markings and this will further complicate matters. A document has been filed in Court in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 under the signature of Manoj C. acting as then DCP South West and under the signature of Additional Standing Counsel GNCTD Criminal Anand Khatri. That is the only relevant document that the DCP Special Cell SR needs to look at and inquire into and determine as to whether that document is a forged document or whether the document is genuine. 18. The letter sent by the Delhi High Court Registry if sent at all, fabricating evidence and enclosing a dubious copy of the alleged forged Threat Assessment Report needs to be recalled and the Registrar General must send a copy of the Order dated 8 May 2024 with the pleadings in Contempt Cases 557. 558, 559, 560, 561, 720 and 721/ 2024 and in WPC 13604/ 2023 to the DCP Special Cell SR under his own signature and also enclosing a copy of the Petitioner’s Written Submissions dated 8 May 2024 which have been placed on the Court record as directed by the Order dated 8 May 2024. 19. The Petitioner continues to be poisoned with chemical fumes and gases being deliberately released into her premises in Rajokri. These acts constitute ongoing attempts on the life of the Petitioner. 20. Meanwhile DCP Rohit Meena presently DCP South West and the Commissioner of Police Mr Sanjay Arora are both in continued, ongoing, and blatant violation of this Hon’ble Courts Order dated 1 June 2023 passed in WP Crl 437/2018. The Petitioner is facing a grave and immediate threat to her life. The protection order of 1 June 2023 is not being complied with. This continued and ongoing violation of the Court’s order by DCP Rohit Meena and CP Sanjay Arora has placed the Petitioner’s life in the gravest and most immediate danger. No protection was or has been provided to the Petitioner at any time. 21. The Respondent Kanwal Jeet Arora, a member of the Delhi Higher Judicial Service and presently serving on deputation as Registrar General of the Delhi High Court is in accordance with practice and prevailing law including the Contempt of Courts Act, being impleaded in his personal capacity. 22. It is very unfortunate that the Respondent Kanwal Jeet Arora despite being a member of the Delhi Higher Judicial Service and despite occupying the position of Registrar General of the Delhi High Court has failed to comply with the Court Order dated 8 May 2024 passed in Contempt Cases 720, 721, 557, 558, 559, 560 and 561/ 2024 and has failed to send under his own signature as requested by the Court, a copy of this Order to the DCP Special Cell SR along with the petitions in these cases and in WPC 13604/ 2023. This conduct on the part of Kanwal Jeet Arora has resulted in obstructing the administration of justice and amounts to contempt of court. 23. Further the Respondent Kanwal Jeet Arora has along with Ms Geetha Gopinathan, Joint Registrar-cum PA to Registrar General fabricated a document to mislead the Court that the order dated 8 May 2024 has been complied with. This fabricated document that was shown to the Petitioner on 22 May 2024 by Ms Geetha Gopinathan in her office also fabricates evidence by misrepresenting as if the alleged Threat assessment report is of nil date, when a date is partially visible and has been deliberately obscured. This conduct of Kanwal Jeet Arora and Geetha Gopinathan also obstructs the administration of justice and amounts to contempt of court. 24. The present petition is therefore being filed and is in the interest of justice. 25.
