Today the petitioner, who appears in person, states as follows:
"I have claimed a grave threat to my life from the State including the police. I have informed this Court in writing that since January 2014. I have been sleeping in my car outside Gate No.8 of the Delhi High Court. I have also been informing this Court in writing and through affidavits filed in this matter that the police has failed to comply with the protection orders issued by this Court; and that I am not only being harassed and targeted with police complicity during the night but I am also being poisoned by deliberate exposure to toxic chemical, including nerve agents and organophosphates, during the night. I fear for my life. I have been waking up breathless during the night on account of such poisoning, and I apprehend that if this continues, it will result in cessation of breathing and will cause death; and I further apprehend that the police will then be used to cover up such murder. I have been making police complaints about these incidents since January 2014 in writing but the police has failed to even respond to these complaints. In view of this, I am making an oral request to this Hon?ble Court that it issue the directions to the Registrar General of this Court; to the Delhi Police Commissioner; and to the local SHO; to ensure that the CCTV security camera recordings maintained both by the Court and by the police in the area where I am parking my car at night and along the roads leading to that spot; be preserved, because this will be valuable evidence in support of my complaints to the police. I have been informed by the Delhi Police security that such recordings are normally preserved only for a month. I am, therefore, seeking directions from this Court that these recordings be preserved for longer than that until my complaints are addressed and investigated. I am also submitting that such an order will also result in providing me some measure of protection because those harming me, including the police, will get the message that the evidence of what is going on around my car during the night is being preserved pursuant to the directions of this Court. This is my request orally.
Further, I have also requested the Hon'ble Court to direct the Registrar General to preserve CCTV footage from the three court lobbies today because I noticed that a policeman was instructing two other policemen to target me; and CCTV footage might provide evidence of contact between the General Electric lawyers and those policemen. Further, one Sub Inspector Umed Singh from Police Station Nizamuddin, who is present in Court, was also seen by me speaking with General Electric lawyers outside the Court."
We have recorded the above verbatim so that there may be no doubt about the submissions of the petitioner, who also happens to be a qualified and practicing Advocate registered at the Bar.
This matter has been pending for some time. There is extensive controversy raised by the petitioner on almost every aspect of the matter. Apparently, she is also making serious allegations against the respondents including the Police Authorities to the extent of alleging a deliberate intent to murder her in a premeditated conspiracy.
Under the circumstances, it is open to the petitioner to file an appropriate application seeking specific reliefs so that an appropriate response can also be obtained from the concerned respondents on every allegation made by the petitioner. As and when such an application is moved, the same shall be duly considered by this Court.
We have now invited the petitioner to continue where she left off on the previous date of hearing.
We have heard the petitioner from 3:50 PM to 5:31 PM.
Re-notify on 24.04.2014 at 3:30 PM.
