Seema Sapra - General Electric corruption whistle-blower: the Truth prevails

20.28 I went to Vasant Kunj South Police Station today and have sought an appointment with the new SHO Arvind Pratap Singh. He was not there. I then went to the office of DCP South West and sought an appointment with the new DCP South West Surendra Chaudhary. DCP Surendra Chaudhary was holding a public meeting in the open. I went and sat there and raised my hand. I told the DCP my name and that there were two Delhi High Court orders directing him to protect me. He told me that the public meeting was only for Chatt Puja. I told him that I had left my number with his PA and he should give me an appointment. I then left. I then went to the Delhi High Court. I have filed the Written Submissions dated 29 October 2024 in WPC 14578/2024. I am now back at my Rajokri premises and am again being targeted with toxic chemical fumes. My auto was followed by several men on two-wheelers after I left the High Court.

Written Submissions of the Petitioner Seema Sapra regarding request for recusal by Justice Prateek Jalan

1.     The Petitioner states that she respects Justice Prateek Jalan as a Judge, however the Petitioner seeks recusal by Justice Prateek Jalan from all cases of the Petitioner for the following reasons.

2.     The Petitioner has made complaints that she was targeted by Arun Jaitley among other persons, who helped cover up the Petitioner's whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company and helped Narendra Modi become Prime Minister in 2014.

3.     Both UPA 2 Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his close aide Montek Singh Ahluwalia were implicated in the Petitioner's whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company involving the Railways Marhowra Diesel Locomotive Factory Project and tenders. The ongoing threat to the Petitioner's life stems from the ongoing attempted cover-up of the Petitioner's whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company, Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia. There is a direct threat to the Petitioner's life from both Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia.

4.     Justice Prateek Jalan's father Mr Bimal Jalan was closely associated with both Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia throughout his career both professionally and as a friend. The Petitioner emphasises that she is not stating that Mr Bimal Jalan had any connection to the corruption of Dr Manmohan Singh or Montek Singh Aluwalia.

5.     The Petitioner has made complaints of sexual assault, drugging and sexual harassment against Raian Karanjawala and Soli Sorabjee. These complaints remain unredressed.

6.     Mr Darpan Wadhwa is the brother-in-law of Justice Prateek Jalan. The Petitioner has known Darpan Wadhwa since her undergraduate studies at St Stephen's College and her post-graduate LLB studies at Law Faculty, University of Delhi.

7.     Since 2011/2012, Mr Darpan Wadhwa has been hostile to the Petitioner.

8.     Paragraphs 2- 9 of Delhi High Court WP Civil 11165/2024 (Seema Sapra versus Alphabet Inc and Others) are reproduced below.

2.     The relief sought in Writ Petition Criminal 437/ 2018 is reproduced below.

(i)       Issue a writ of Mandamus to Respondents 1, 2, 3 and 4 to ask Google, i.e., Respondents 5 and 6 to immediately remove this anonymous blog from Blogger as it violates the right to life and other fundamental rights of the petitioner-whistleblower and complainant of sexual harassment;

(ii)      Issue a writ of Mandamus to Respondents 1, 2, 3 and 4 to inquire and investigate as to who created and procured the creation of this anonymous blog titled "Seema Sapra Alert" and published at http://seemasapraalert.blogspot.in/

(iii)    Issue a writ of Mandamus to Respondents 1, 2, 3 and 4 to inquire and investigate into the use of the email address seemasapraalert@gmail.com and its use to target the petitioner who is a whistleblower against General Electric Company Company and a complainant of sexual harassment against Raian Karanjawala and of sexual harassment and sexual assault against Soli J Sorabjee;

(iv)     Direct the Respondents 3 and 4 to register FIRs against the creators and procurers of this blog and the associated email ID for the crimes committed against the petitioner listed hereinabove in the writ petition and to investigate these crimes in accordance with law and to bring criminal charges against all those involved in procuring, abetting and committing these crimes against the petitioner;

(v)      Direct the Respondents 1, 2, 3 and 4 to take legal action against the violation of the Petitioner's right to life and her other fundamental rights by the creators and procurers of this anonymous blog;

(vi)     To pass such other orders and further orders and to issue such other and further writs as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.

3.     Since 2018, a powerful group of lawyers hostile to the Petitioner who is also a lawyer, have collectively worked to interfere with the administration of justice in Writ Petition Crl 437/ 2018 and to prevent the registration of FIRs in order to protect the persons who planned, created and used this blog to target the Petitioner.

4.     The Petitioner has made whistleblower complaints against General Electric Company (now operating as GE Aerospace) in her capacity as former full-time in-house counsel for GE in connection with its tenders for the Railways diesel locomotive factory project at Marhowra in Bihar. The Petitioner filed Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 in the Delhi High Court seeking investigation of these complaints and seeking protection. That Writ Petition was also sabotaged by a group of lawyers. A perverse judgment was delivered in that writ petition on 2 March 2015 which was also vitiated by multiple frauds on the Court including the filing of forged and fraudulent authority documents in that case for General Electric Company and its two subsidiaries by the lawyers who claimed to represent GE. It is well-settled law that a court judgment obtained by fraud is a nullity and therefore void ab-initio. It is therefore the Petitioner's case that the Delhi High Court decision of 2 March 2015 in WP Civil 1280/ 2012 is null and void on account of it having been obtained by fraud on the Court. By way of example, a copy of one of the forged authority documents filed for GE India Industrial Private Limited in WP Civil 1280/ 2012 (Power of Attorney copy dated 8 December 2014 allegedly signed by Tejal Patil) by lawyer Nanju Ganpathy then a Partner in AZB & Partners is annexed hereto as Annexure A-1

5.     The Petitioner is also being targeted by this powerful group of lawyers because she has made complaints that she was drugged, sexually assaulted and sexually harassed by two powerful lawyers. The first lawyer is Raian N. Karanjawala who owns a powerful litigation law firm and who claims close friendship with the rich and the powerful including Rupert Murdoch, Ratan Tata, Gautam Adani etc. In 1995, the Petitioner started working in Raian Karanjawala's law firm after he was recommended to her by Arun Jaitley as his good friend. The Petitioner had lost her father in 1995 while still in law school and this was perhaps the reason she was viewed by Arun Jaitley and Raian Karanjawala as an easy target/ victim. During a work trip to then Calcutta for a court matter for Lufthansa, Raian Karanjawala drugged the Petitioner over a group dinner (with other guests) in the Taj Bengal Hotel's Chinese restaurant, and while walking back to their respective rooms close to midnight, when the Petitioner was staggering and groggy and extremely sleepy, Raian Karanjawala asked the Petitioner if she wanted to join him in his room for a night-cap. The Petitioner said - No I need to sleep - and went into her room and passed out. She does not remember what happened next. Raian Karanjawala continued to use his employee Hari who handled the kitchen in the Defence Colony D-10 office to drug the Petitioner because he feared exposure and wanted to control the Petitioner. On one occasion, Raian Karanjawala told the Petitioner she would end up in a ditch. Raian Karanjawala then attempted to get rid of the Petitioner and eventually he is the person who encouraged the Petitioner who was being drugged by him to join the office of Soli J. Sorabjee who at that time was the Attorney General for India. It is obvious that Raian Karanjawala was aware that Soli J. Sorabjee was a sex predator and that is why Raian Karanjawala made sure that the Petitioner joined Soli Sorabjee's office so that she could continue to be controlled. Soli J. Sorabjee (who died in 2021) was the Attorney General of India when he sexually assaulted the Petitioner by inviting her for dinner to his Neeti Bagh office, drugging her and then assaulting her by kissing and groping her and putting his tongue inside the Petitioner's mouth all without consent, when the Petitioner (who was 40 years younger and then in her twenties) was working as an associate lawyer in his office as the Attorney General for India. The Petitioner pulled away from Soli Sorabjee's grasp and left. Both Soli J Sorabjee and Raian Karanjawala continued to have the Petitioner drugged in 2001 and even in 2002 in the UK where the Petitioner was pursuing her LLM at the University of Leicester. The Petitioner was not aware at the time that Raian Karanjawala and Soli Sorabjee were having her drugged as part of their attempts to control her. It is only recently and looking back at certain events in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 that the Petitioner has realised that she was most likely being drugged. A group of lawyers including Saurabh Kirpal and Anupam Sanghi were also used by Raian Karanjawala and Soli Sorabjee to control the Petitioner and to prevent her from speaking out. When the Petitioner was working with Raian Karanjawala, she also worked frequently with Rajiv Nayar, Arun Jaitley and Mukul Rohatgi who were all close friends. All of them were aware of Raian Karanjawala's plan and attempt to sexually exploit the Petitioner. Soli J. Sorabjee, Raian Karanjawala, Rajiv Nayar, Arun Jaitley and Mukul Rohatgi have all been involved in the planned hounding of the Petitioner and in the destruction of the Petitioner's life, reputation and career since 2010 and in the attempts to murder her. They have also been involved in the attempted cover up of the Petitioner's whistleblower complaints against GE and in the sabotage of WP Civil1280/2012.

6.     The present writ petition is concerned with the ongoing obstruction of the administration of justice in WP Crl 437/ 2018. The Petitioner is filing a separate detailed list of dates showing how the administration of justice has been interfered with and subverted in WP Cr4l 437/ 2018. The modus operandi has been very similar to that used in WP Civil 1280/ 2012 in which case the lawyers involved thought they had gotten away with the fraud played on the court by using lawyers to falsely impersonate as lawyers for GE using forged authority documents. In WP Crl 437/ 2018, lawyers have been used to falsely impersonate as lawyers of Google LLC and to furnish false information to the Court including going to the extent of filing a forged document as a Section 65 B certificate (copy) for Google LLC. The present Writ Petition seeks an FIR for forgery, for fabrication of evidence, and for unlawful impersonation in court proceedings in respect of this forged document filed as a Section 65 B Certificate (copy) for Google LLC in WP Crl 437/ 2018.

7.     Annexed hereto as Annexure A-2 is a copy of the document (copy) filed by lawyer Mamta Rani Jha in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 10 May 2019 under diary number 431938/2019. The Index to this filing bears the signature of Mamta Rani Jha or of someone who has signed for her. The Index describes this document as Certificate of Ms. Lily Kley under section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 filed on behalf of Google LLC.

8.     It is submitted that this document attached hereto at Annexure A-2 filed by lawyer Mamta Rani Jha in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 10 May 2019 under diary number 431938/2019 is a forged document. This forged Section 65-B Certificate was filed to thwart any investigation into the persons/ entities behind the creation of an anonymous Blogger Blog created and published in 2014 to target the Petitioner -lawyer. The Blog which was available at the url http://seemasapraalert.blogspot.com/ until 2018, has now been removed/ deleted.

9.     The Petitioner relies upon the contents of Writ Petition Criminal 437/ 2018.

Lawyers from the law-firm named Inttl Advocare have been appearing in Writ Petition Criminal 437/ 2018 for Google LLC without valid authority documents, without a valid Power of Attorney, and without a valid vakalatnama and are doing so in violation of several applicable and binding judgments of the Courts and of Bar Council of India and Bar Council of Delhi Rules

9.     The Petitioner continues to be targeted by Raian Karanjawala who has used his Partners (including Ruby Singh Ahuja), his clients, the other lawyers in his law-firm and other lawyers he gives work to, to target the Petitioner. Karanjawala and Company's lawyers, interns, clients and clerks have also been used to target the Petitioner with chemicals inside Delhi High Court and to stalk the Petitioner. Mr Darpan Wadhwa has now for several years worked in close collaboration with Karanjawala & Company and its lawyers. The Petitioner has been targeted using the juniors and court clerk of Mr Darpan Wadhwa.

10. Zia Mody Managing Partner AZB and her father Soli Sorabjee (deceased) were used to cover up the Petitioner's whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company and to sabotage the Petitioners Writ Petition 1280/2012. A forged Power of Attorney dated 8 December 2014 was filed through lawyer Nanju Ganpathy and the law-firm AZB & Partners in Delhi High Court Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 , which was the Petitioner's whistle-blower corruption petition that she had filed against General Electric Company, the Government of India and Others. This forged Power of Attorney was used by lawyer Nanju Ganpathy and by other lawyers of the law-firm AZB & Partners to falsely claim authority to represent GE India Industrial Private Limited in WP Civil 1280/ 2023. The use of this forged document and several other forged authority documents which were filed in WP Civil 1280/ 2012 by lawyer Nanju Ganpathy and by AZB & Partners amount to a fraud on the Court and it is settled law that any Judgment of a Court vitiated by fraud on the Court is a nullity and Void ab initio. The Petitioner submits that the Decision dated 2 March 2015 of the Dehi High Court in Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 is therefore vitiated by fraud on the Court and is therefore a nullity and void ab initio. This is one of the reasons why the Petitioner-whistleblower's life is in grave and immediate danger including from lawyers who have committed and facilitated this fraud on the Court. Powerful lawyer Zia Mody's law firm AZB & Partners filed a forged Power of Attorney dated 8 December 2014 allegedly executed on behalf of GE India Industrial Private Limited before Delhi High Court in Writ Petition 1280/2012. This document was filed in Delhi High Court Writ Petition Civil 1280/2012 on 20 or 28 January 2015 as part of a planned cover-up of corruption charges against General Electric Company. The criminal offences attracted to this fraud facilitated by lawyers Zia Mody and Nanju Ganpathy include offences amounting to perjury, forgery, and unlawful impersonation. A bare perusal of this alleged Power of Attorney shows it was un-notarised and had revenue stamps affixed. Only a copy of this document was filed. The original was not produced. It is not on stamp paper. It is not notarised even though notarisation is required by law. It does not even appoint K R Radhakrishnan as the Power of Attorney for WP Civil 1280/ 2012. The typing, font, font size, page setup etc are completely different for pages 1and 2 of this document. This leads to the inference that the two pages are not part of the same document but were fraudulently filed in Court as a single document making this document a forgery. A mere perusal of this "Power of Attorney" shows that it is a forged document. There is no limitation period for filing a complaint of forgery of a Power of Attorney. This document was sent to the Petitioner by Mr Nanju Ganpathy by email dated 2 February 2015. Even though a copy of this alleged Power of Attorney was filed in Writ Petition Civil 1280/2012 in Delhi High Court to claim authority on behalf of GE India in that case, it does not mention either the case number or the cause title of that petition. Instead of mentioning Writ Petition Civil No. 1280/2012 in which case this document was filed and sought to be relied upon, this alleged Power of Attorney describes its subject-matter, i e., the Proceedings as litigation which GE India might initiate against the Petitioner before the Bar Council. The fact that Writ Petition Civil No. 1280/2012 was not mentioned in this Power of Attorney even though it was filed in that case to claim authority, shows that GE India had/ has no internal record of this writ petition or legal proceeding. This document establishes beyond doubt that AZB & Partners were not authorized to appear as lawyers for GE India before the Delhi High Court in WP Civil 1280/2012, that K R Radhakrishnan was not authorised to sign court pleadings for GE India in that case. Lawyer Mr Rajiv Nayar designated as Senior Advocate by the Delhi High Court appeared in WP Civil 1280/2012 on more than 20 occasions for GE India instructed by AZB and Nanju Ganpathy. It is clear that even Mr Rajiv Nayar had no authority to appear for GE India. It is also clear that lawyer Rajiv Nayar knew that the authority documents for AZB filed on behalf of GE were invalid/defective/forged, that the authority documents for K R Radhakrishnan were invalid/defective/forged, yet he continued to appear for GE with AZB lawyers. Thus between 2012 and 2015, for 3 years, Rajiv Nayar, Nanju Ganpathy and other lawyers from AZB & Partners appeared for GE India, its parent General Electric Company and for another subsidiary in Writ Petition Civil 1280/2012 in Delhi High Court without any authority from GE. With GE India having no internal record of Delhi High Court Writ Petition Civil 1280/2012, how was lawyer Rajiv Nayar paid for his appearances in this case for GE India. Did he appear pro bono or for free? Or did AZB/ Zia Mody use a slush fund to pay Rajiv Nayar? As they say, the cover-up is worse than the crime. Forged authority documents were filed for GE in Delhi High Court in Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 (Seema Sapra versus General Electric Company & Others) in order to sabotage that case which former GE in-house lawyer Seema Sapra had filed for investigations into GE and the Manmohan Singh UPA 2 Government's corrupt dealings concerning the tenders for the Marhowra Diesel Locomotive Factory Project. Montek Singh Ahluwalia heading the Planning Commission then was involved with GE in corrupt dealings. This fraud continues to be relevant and important today. The forged authority documents filed for General Electric Company in Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 in the Delhi High Court constitute a fraud in a tender matter and under Government of India procurement guidelines, this would disqualify General Electric Company and all its subsidiaries from participating in any tenders/ procurements of the Government of India including any defence contracts. This also makes GE a candidate for blacklisting. This fraud stands proved by the documents themselves. Thus apart from lawyer Seema Sapra's whistle-blower corruption complaints against GE, which still lie un-investigated, this fraud of forged authority documents filed for GE in the Delhi High Court in Writ Petition Civil 1280/ 2012 disqualifies GE from all Government of India contracts.

11. The Petitioner's life is in grave and immediate danger interalia because of this fraud which was used to cover up corruption complaints made against GE in WP Civil 1280/2012 (Seema Sapra versus General Electric Company & Others) filed in Delhi High Court.

12. The Petitioner is for the last four years being sedated, poisoned, rendered unconscious in rented premises in Rajokri using LPG, incapacitating agents, N2O, organophosphates, pesticides, neurotoxins, nerve agents, and toxic corrosive poisonous fumes, smoke and gases.

13. The Petitioner has filed Delhi High Court WP Civil 9860/2024 (Seema Sapra versus General Electric Company now operating as GE Aerospace and Others) seeking the following relief

1.       direct the immediate registration of an FIR against former GE executives Pratyush Kumar, John Flannery, Ashfaq Nainar, Praveena Yagnambhat, against present CEO of General Electric Company (now operating as GE Aerospace) Larry Culp, DCP Manoj C., DCP Rohit Meena, IPS Eish Singhal, DCP Usha Rangnani, SHO Sahdev Kumar Rana, SI Ram Prasad Meena, Inspector Harkesh Meena, SI Chetan Rana, IPS Madhur Verma, Inspector Sanjeev Kumar, DCP Alok Kumar, IPS Ajay Chaudhary, and acting in conspiracy with other unnamed Police Officers and with Rajokri locals Mamraj Yadav, Sunita Yadav, Pavan Yadav, Havan Yadav, Bhim Singh Yadav, Virender Yadav (Monu), Dilip Yadav, Desraj Yadav, Amit Yadav, Ilyas, Umesh and others and against lawyers Raian Karanjawala, Rajiv Nayar, Zia Mody, Nanju Ganpathy, Ajay Bahl, Behram Vakil, Deepak Adlakha, Percy Billimoria, A.S. Chandhiok, Hemant Singh, Sanjay Lao, Anand Khatri, Santosh Kumar Tripathi, Mehak Nakra, and others for criminal conspiracy and attempt to murder the Petitioner by poisoning through the deliberate release of poisonous chemical fumes and gases including incapacitating agents into her rented premises at Rajokri, and for conspiracy and multiple attempts to murder the Petitioner in rented premises in Rajokri by poisoning effected through food/ drink and by chemical fumes/ poisonous gases over the last almost four years;

2.       Direct the Government of India through Ministry of Home Affairs to immediately provide Z+ security to the Petitioner;

3.       direct the Union of India to provide immediate protection and security to the Petitioner;

4.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that the Petitioner is not illegally or forcibly evicted from her rented premises at Rajokri without due process of law and to ensure that the Petitioner faces no retaliation from her landlord or from anyone else as a consequence of these complaints and this petition;

5.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that the Petitioner is not subjected to any physical violence in Rajokri or elsewhere;

6.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that the Petitioner is not poisoned or targeted further in her rented premises in Rajokri;

7.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that the Petitioner is not followed and stalked when she leaves her premises;

8.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that men targeting the Petitioner do not surround the Petitioner's premises either during the day or night;

9.       direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to assist the Petitioner in installing CCTV covering all entry points into her premises and covering the roof and areas outside;

10.     direct the Delhi Police Commissioner to ensure that the Petitioner's rented premises at Rajokri are not entered into in her absence;

11.      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;

12.     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;

13.     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;

14.     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;

15.     To pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.

14. Mr Darpan Wadhwa is a close friend of Rajiv Nayar, Raian Karanjawala, Ruby Ahuja, etc.

15. Mr Darpan Wadhwa was also involved as a lawyer in Union Of India & Ors. vs Shanti Gurung & Ors. CS(OS) 610/2012 in the Delhi High Court where he instructed by Karanjawala & Company appeared for the US Law firm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Gibson Dunn & Crutcher was used in 2010, 2011 and 2012 by Jeffrey Eglash of General Electric Company to attempt to cover up the Petitioner's whistleblower complaints against General Electric Company. A S Chandhiok who was ASG in the Delhi High Court for the Dr Manmohan Singh Government and who is very close to Montek Singh Ahluwalia was instrumental in filing CS(OS) 610/2012 in the Delhi High Court on 12 March 2012 right after the Petitioner filed WP Civil 1280/2012 (Seema Sapra versus General Electric Company and Others. Very strangely Gibson Dunn & Crutcher was made one of the Respondents in CS (OS) 610/2012. CS (OS) 610/2012 was filed through Advocate Sapna Chauhan who was only a Panel lawyer for the Union of India. Sapna Chauhan was also marked the Petitioner's whistleblower case WP Civil 1280/ 2012 by ASG A S Chandhiok or at least she appeared in WPC 1280/2012 on behalf of the Union of India. Gibson Dunn & Crutcher were lawyers for Shanti Gurung who had won a claim against the Government of India. It is very strange that ASG Chandhiok impleaded Gibson Dunn & Crutcher as a party in this Civil Suit. This was done to create alternative reasons for ASG Chandhiok to engage in direct contact and meetings with lawyers at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher facilitated through Karanjawala and Company. An investigation will reveal that this contact between Gibson Dunn & Crutcher lawyers and ASG A S Chandhiok was used to devise strategy to sabotage the Petitioner's whistleblower Petition against General Electric Company which implicated Dr Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia. The lawyers who appeared along with Karanjawala and Company for Gibson Dunn & Crutcher included Ritin Rai and Darpan Wadhwa. Both had earlier worked with Jai Pathak in Pathak & Associates. In 2012, Jai Pathak was with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Gibson Dunn & Crutcher through Jai Pathak also had close ties to Zia Mody, Soli Sorabjee and AZB & Partners. This whole set-up was used to commit fraud on the Delhi High Court in WP Civil 1280/2012 (Seema Sapra versus General Electric Company & Others) where lawyers from AZB & Partners including then Partner Nanju Ganpathy appeared in WP Civil 1280/2012 for General Electric Company and its two subsidiaries with forged authority documents and obstructed the administration of justice and facilitated the attempted cover up of the Petitioner's whistleblower corruption complaints against General Electric Company. This fraud on the Court was facilitated by lawyers from Gibson Dunn & Crutcher including Partner F. Joseph Warin and John Chesley (who was an Associate in 2011, 2012 and has gone on to become a Partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher), by lawyers from General Electric Company including Brackett Denniston, Alexander Dimitrief, Jeffrey Eglash, and by then ASG for the Government of India A S Chandhiok and by panel lawyer for the Government of India Sapna Chauhan. The role played by Karanjawala & Company, Raian Karanjawala, Ruby Singh Ahuja, Darpan Wadhwa and Ritin Rai in this fraud on the Delhi High Court needs to be probed.

16. For all the above reasons, the Petitioner seeks recusal by Justice Prateek Jalan from all cases of the Petitioner. The Petitioner once again reiterates her respect for Justice Prateek Jalan as a Judge. However, Justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done. A Judge ought to recuse in cases where the litigant has the perception of possible and potential bias based upon relevant material.
