WRIT PETITION CIVIL NO. 11618 OF 2024
IN THE MATTER OF
Seema Sapra … Petitioner
Versus
Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 and Others …Respondents
WRIT PETITION UNDER ARTICLES 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA READ WITH SECTION 151 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION OF FIR AGAINST ADVOCATE MEHAK NAKRA BCD ENROLMENT NO. D/1729/2012 AND HER CO-CONSPIRATORS UNDER RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE AND/OR THE BHARATIYA NYAYA SANHITA FOR FILING OF A FORGED AFFIDAVIT OF AMIT KAUSHIK DANIPS 2010 (PRESENTLY POSTED AS DCP SPECIAL CELL SR) IN DELHI HIGH COURT WRIT PETITION CIVIL 13604/ 2023 ON 20 JULY 2024 UNDER DIARY NO. 2376727/2024 AND FOR REGISTRATION OF FIR FOR FABRICATION OF EVIDENCE, CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY AND OTHER CONNECTED OFFENCES ARISING ON THE FACTS
The Petitioner abovenamed respectfully submits as under:
1. The document filed by Advocate Mehak Nakra on 20 July 2024 in WP Civil 13604/2023 described as an affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik (Annexure A-1 hereto) is a forged affidavit with forged signatures of Amit Kaushik and a fake stamp of Amit Kaushik. It is also a false affidavit with multiple false statements and with forged documents attached as Annexures A, B, C and D.
2. In very brief, the facts are that a protection order addressed to DCP South West was passed for the Petitioner, Seema Sapra by Justice Vikas Mahajan on 1 June 2023 in Delhi High Court WP Crl 437/ 2018.
The petitioner appearing in person has been heard for sometime. 2. She also submits that she faces threat to her life. Let DCP (South West) look into it and shall provide all possible protection to her in accordance with law. 3. List for further arguments on 16.08.2023, the date already fixed.” |
3. The Petitioner is being poisoned because of her whistleblower corruption, fraud, bribery complaints against General Electric Company and because of her sexual assault complaints against lawyers Soli Sorabjee and Raian Karanjawala. She is also interalia being poisoned because AZB lawyers appeared for General Electric Company in the Petitioner’s whistleblower case WP Civil 1280/2012 with forged authority documents and fraud was committed on the Court leading to a perverse judgment dismissing WP Civil 1280/2012 as infructuous.
4. Manoj C. who was DCP South West failed to comply with the protection order dated 1 June 2023, leading the Petitioner to file Contempt Case 1174/2023 against DCP Manoj C. and to file WP Criminal 2469/2023 seeking enforcement of a Supreme Court Order dated 1 March 2019 in Writ Petition (Civil) No.13/2018 and W.P.(C) No.1027/2018 which directed the registration of an FIR by DCP New Delhi for a Police assault on the Petitioner outside Delhi High Court on 1 March 2019 and which also stated that the Petitioner “may also seek police protection since she apprehends danger to her life.”
5. An Order dated 20 September 2023 was passed by Justice Tushar Rao Gedela in WP Crl 2469/2023 directing the DCP South West to file a Status Report on compliance with the Order dated 1 June 2018. This order also stated as follows.
5. Ms. Sapra submits that in the meanwhile she should be given protection as there is threat to her life. 6. A coordinate bench of this court vide the order dated 01.06.2023 had already directed the Delhi Police to provide the protection to Ms. Sapra. Ms. Sapra disputes the said position and submits that despite the aforesaid order, she has not been provided any protection at all and she also further submits that same is subject matter of the contempt petition filed before this Court. 7. Mr. Khatri seeks and is granted one week’s time to file status report in respect of order dated 01.06.2023. 8. List for the purposes of assessing requirement of protection on 09.10.2023, the date already fixed. |
6. Advocate Anand Khatri filed a Status Report in Delhi High Court WP Crl 437/2018 on 6 October 2023 allegedly signed by DCP Manoj C. as DCP South West. Annexed to this alleged Status Report of DCP Manoj C. was a single page forged document described as a Threat assessment report allegedly signed by DCP Special Cell SR Alok Kumar and stating that there was no threat to the life of the Petitioner (Annexure A-2).
7. Advocate Mehak Nakra ASC GNCTD who appeared without authority in Contempt Case 1174/2023 also filed an almost identical Status Report in Delhi High Court WP Crl 437/2018 on 7 October 2023 allegedly signed by DCP Manoj C. as DCP South West. Annexed to this alleged Status Report of DCP Manoj C. was the same single page forged document described as a Threat assessment report allegedly signed by DCP Special Cell SR Alok Kumar and stating that there was no threat to the life of the Petitioner.
8. The single page document that was filed by both Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra in WP Crl 437/ 2018 and that was described by both of them as the Police Threat assessment report is annexed hereto as Annexure A-2.
9. The single page document filed by Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra in WP Crl 437/ 2018 and described as a Police Threat Assessment report was a copy of a communication allegedly signed by Alok Kumar as DCP Special Cell SR and addressed to the Additional Commissioner of Police, New Delhi Range, through Inspector X/PHQ. The date and document number of this alleged communication was obscured. This alleged communication stated that there was no threat to the Petitioner from any quarter. Since this alleged communication was described by the Police Status Report of DCP Manoj C. as a Threat assessment report, it will be referred to as the forged Threat assessment report hereinafter.
10. This forged Threat assessment report was filed in Court to prevent compliance by the Delhi Police with the protection order for the Petitioner passed by Justice Vikas Mahajan on 1 June 2023 in WP Crl 437/2018.
11. The Petitioner therefore filed WP Civil 13604/2023 seeking an FIR for forgery, filing of forged document in Court, fabrication of evidence etc in respect of this forged Threat assessment report. Notice was issued in this case on 17 October 2023 but the Respondent DCPs neither appeared nor filed affidavits. Advocate Mehak Nakra continued to obstruct the administration of justice in WP Civil 13604/2023 along with SI Chetan Rana and Vasant Kunj South SHO Sahdev Kumar Rana.
12. The Petitioner therefore filed seven Contempt cases against the DCP Respondents in WPC13604/2023 and others for obstruction of the administration of justice in WP Civil 13604/2023.
13. The following order was passed by the Delhi High Court on 8 May 2024 in these seven Contempt cases directing the DCP Special Cell SR to file an affidavit addressing the issue that a forged document had been filed as a Threat assessment report and directing him to place on record another copy of this alleged Threat assessment report along with any other connected documents of the Police.

Bearing in mind the issues which are flagged by the petitioner, we call upon the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR), Delhi, to file an affidavit explaining the genesis of the aforesaid communication. 3. A copy of the original communication which was produced before the Court shall also be placed for our perusal along with 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.

PURUSHAINDRA KUMAR KAURAV, J. MAY 08, 2024/neha |
14. 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.” Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora did not comply with the direction in paragraph 5 of the Court order dated 8 May 2024 and the Order dated 8 May 2024 was never sent to the DCP Special Cell SR by the Registrar General or by the Delhi High Court Registry. Instead, fabricated documents were placed in Part B of the Court file by Court staff to mislead the Court and the Petitioner that the Registrar General/ High Court Registry had complied with the court order. The Petitioner relies upon the contents of Contempt Case Civil 897/ 2024 which she has filed against Mr Kanwal Jeet Arora. Kanwal Jeet Arora, presently posted as Registrar General of the Delhi High Court has till date not complied with the Court order dated 8 May 2024. This fact has a direct connection to the filing of the forged affidavit dated 20 July 2024 of DCP Amit Kaushik in WPC 13604/2023.
15. The Order dated 8 May 2024 directs the DCP Special Cell SR to file an affidavit explaining the forged Threat assessment report, i.e., the document filed by lawyers Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra as Threat assessment report in WP Criminal 437/ 2018 on 6 and 7 October 2023 respectively (Annexure A-2 hereto).
16. The Index of the Status Report filed by lawyer Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 described Annexure G to the Status Report as Threat assessment report. Paragraph 7 of this Status Report under the signature of DCP Manoj C. stated the following.
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. |
17. On 20 July 2024, Advocate Mehak Nakra Additional Standing Counsel Civil for GNCTD filed an affidavit in WP Civil 13604/ 2023 under diary number 2376727/2024 without sending the Petitioner an advance copy.
18. The Petitioner happened to check the case history section of the Delhi High Court website for WPC 13604/2023 shortly before 4 pm on 22 July 2024 and she discovered that an affidavit had been filed by Mehak Nakra on 20 July 2024. The Petitioner immediately contacted Mehak Nakra through mobile SMS text, WhatsApp and email and requested that a copy be provided to her immediately. A copy of the filing dated 20 July 2024 was eventually sent to the Petitioner by Advocate Mehak Nakra on WhatsApp at 5.18 pm on 22 July 2024.
19. A copy of the filing by Advocate Mehak Nakra on 20 July 2024 in WPC 13604/2023 under diary number 2376727/2024 is annexed hereto as Annexure A-1. This document is supposed to be an affidavit of Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 presently posted as DCP Special Cell SR.
20. A forged and fabricated document was attached to this filing of Advocate Mehak Nakra as proof of service on the Petitioner. The intent clearly was to ambush the Petitioner and to ensure that she did not have a copy of this alleged affidavit for the Court hearing scheduled on 24 July 2024. In the meantime, the Petitioner was being poisoned with intent to prevent her from appearing in her cases in Court on 24 July 2024. The intent was to deceive the Court with a forged affidavit, commit fraud on the Court, and to steal an order behind the back of the Petitioner.
21. The alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik affidavit dated 20 July 2024 contained multiple false statements and it produced another forged document as a fresh copy of the alleged Threat assessment report. The Petitioner therefore filed Contempt Case Civil 1177/2024 against Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 seeking the following relief.
(i) To issue notice of contempt to, to convict, and to punish the Respondent Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 presently posted as DCP Special Cell SR in accordance with Sections 11 and 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act by imposing fine and imprisonment upon the Respondent for wilfully, intentionally, deliberately, malafidely and perversely committing contempt of court by wilfully violating the Order of the Delhi High Court dated 8 May 2024 passed in Contempt Cases Civil 557. 558. 559. 560, 561, 720 and 721 all of 2024, and by wilfully filing a false affidavit and by wilfully placing on record a forged document as Annexure C to his affidavit dared 20 July 2024 filed in WP Civil 13604/ 2023, and by intentionally attempting to mislead this Hon’ble Court in order to cover up the filing of the first forged document by Manoj C. in WP Crl 437/ 2018, and by intentionally attempting to cover up the failure of the Delhi Police to comply with the protection order of Justice Vikas Mahajan in WP Crl 437/ 2018 and by intentionally further facilitating the criminal conspiracy and ongoing attempts to murder the Petitioner. (ii) disobeying the Order dated 8 May 2024 of the Delhi High Court passed in Contempt Case 557/2024, Contempt Case 558/2024. Contempt Case 559/2024, Contempt Case 560/2024. Contempt Case 561/ 2024. Contempt Case 720/2024 and Contempt Case 721/2024 and because by these wilful acts DCP Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 has intended and attempted to obstruct the administration of justice in WP Civil 13604/ and to cover up the filing of a false and fraudulent Status Report in Delhi High Court WP Crl 437/ 2018 and the filing of a forged document as an alleged Police Threat Assessment Report; (iii) To pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case. |
22. The present Petition is being filed because a closer scrutiny of the affidavit dated 20 July 2024 that has been filed for Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 in Delhi High Court Writ Petition Civil 13604/2023 reveals the document to be a forged affidavit for the following reasons.
The signature of Amit Kaushik at two places on page 5 of the affidavit is simply an “A”. The affidavit is not properly notarised. There is no date entered by the deponent in the verification clause and the space for the date is empty. The signatory has not been identified before the notary as mandated by the law. There is no signature for the statement “I identified the deponent who has signed in my presence”. The space for identification by stating son of, resident of etc is blank and no identifying information is provided. There is no signature to establish who has identified Amit Kaushik before the notary. This is a mandatory requirement. Something completely illegible has been written by the notary in the blank space after - Identified by. This illegible writing is intentional. On page 5 of the affidavit, the stamp of the alleged Deponent reads DCP/SR/SPL. CELL whereas it should read DCP/SPL. CELL/ SR. The post presently held by Amit Kaushik is not DCP/SR/SPL. CELL. The post presently held by Amit Kaishik is DCP/SPL. CELL/ SR. This is a crucial mistake in the stamp. A fake stamp has been created with Amit Kaushik’s name and this fake stamp has been used on this affidavit. |
23. The notary who has stamped and signed this forged affidavit is a lawyer named Debajyoti Behuria. His notary registration number is 19716.
24. Debajyoti Behuria Advocate was involved as Notary in another case of a forged affidavit where an FIR was directed to be registered against him and three other lawyers by the learned ADJ-03, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi in PC No. 01/2019 by order dated 21st October, 2020. Annexed hereto as Annexure A-3 and Annexure A-4 are Delhi High Court Order dated 20 April 2022 passed in CRL.A. 555/2020 & CRL.M.A. 15589/2020 and Delhi High Court Order dated 2 May 2022 passed in CRL.A. 190/2022, CRL.M.As. 8309/2022 & 8310/2022 respectively which set out the facts that led to that FIR against Debajyoti Behuria. Though these High Court orders have quashed the FIR proceedings against the three other lawyers, the proceedings against Debajyoti Behuria have not been quashed. It is an established fact that Debajyoti Behuria notarised an affidavit in the absence of the deponent in this case.
25. The Petitioner submits that it is not a coincidence that Debajyoti Behuria has been used as the Notary in the notarisation and filing of the forged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik in WP Civil 13604/ 2023. Powerful and influential lawyers have used Debajyoti Behuria to help prepare this forged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik by most likely promising to extricate him from the earlier FIR against him.
26. The Petitioner did an online search and found several other affidavits notarised by Debajyoti Behuria and filed in different courts. The first and last pages of some of these affidavits bearing the notary stamp of Debajyoti Behuria are annexed hereto as Annexure A-5. Please note that in all these other affidavits, the deponent is duly identified and the identifier has put his signature on the affidavit. Also note Debajyoti Behuria’s handwriting in these affidavits is in cursive/ running hand and his writing is legible.
27. In the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik, the handwriting of Debajyoti Behuria is not cursive and is not in running hand and is illegible. Debajyoti Behuria has deliberately used illegible handwriting in Amit Kaushik’s alleged affidavit after the printed words -identified by.
28. The affidavit dated 20 July 2024 of DCP Amit Kaushik is forged. It has not been signed by Amit Kaushik but by someone who has forged the signature of Amit Kaushik on the affidavit and has used a fake stamp for Amit Kaushik.
29. The affidavit filed for Amit Kaushik is defective in law and cannot be accepted by the Court. The legal requirements for execution of an affidavit before a Notary and to ensure that the Deponent is present before the Notary and is correctly identified before the Notary have not been satisfied. These defects in the affidavit assume greater significance in light of the fact that Annexure C to the alleged Affidavit of Amit Kaushik is also a forged document as described hereinafter.
30. The alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik contains a false declaration, i.e., it states that being presently posted as DCP Special Cell SR, he is fully conversant with the facts and circumstances of the case and competent to depose the affidavit. In fact, DCP Amit Kaushik cannot have personal knowledge as to the events that have been described in the affidavit and as to the facts that have been set out in the affidavit and as to the documents annexed to the affidavit. This is because he was not DCP Special Cell SR at the time these documents were allegedly created and at the time these events allegedly occurred. The deposition in the alleged affidavit that the facts of paragraphs 1-10 of the affidavit are true and correct to the knowledge of DCP Amit Kaushik is a false statement.
31. The alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik dated 20 July 2024 produces the following documents as annexures.
Annexure A – Copy of an alleged Communication dated 19 June 2023 from an (anonymous) INSPR/ X/ PHQ (with an illegible signature) for Additional Commissioner of Police, New Delhi Range on the letterhead of the Office of the Commissioner of Police and sent to Dy. Commissioner of Police, Special Cell Delhi. This communication states that the memo dated 13 June 2023 received from DCP South West along with its enclosures are enclosed. It further states that a threat assessment be conducted for Seema Sapra and the report be sent to this Hdqrs. at the earliest. It also states that this has the approval of Addl CP New Delhi Range. |
Annexure B – copy of an alleged communication dated 13 June 2023 sent from DCP South West Manoj C. to DCP Headquarter allegedly requesting that the Special Cell be directed to carry out a threat assessment for the Petitioner. |
Annexure C – “fresh” copy of the alleged Threat assessment report Alleged communication from DCP Special Cell SR signed by Alok Kumar and sent to Addl Commissioner of Police, New Delhi Range Through Inspr. X/PHQ The document date is shown as 14 August 2023. |
Annexure D – copy of a 3 page document produced for the first time and titled THREAT ASSESSMENT REPORT. It is dated 2 August 2023 and signed by Inspector Satvinder of Special Cell/ SR Note – the contents of this document are false and concocted. This document has been fabricated only for the purpose of cover-up. It has been backdated and forged. |
Annexure E – copy of a document dated 3 June 2023 signed by SHO Vasant Kunj South and copy of a document dated 19 July 2024 signed by SHO Vasant Kunj South. |
32. As the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik is a forged affidavit, the documents annexed to the affidavit and in particular Annexures A, B, C and D are also forged and fabricated. These documents have been fabricated, forged and backdated only to cover up the filing of the forged Threat assessment report filed in WP Crl 437/ 2018 by Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra. It is clear that several police officers including DCP Manoj C. and Inspector Sahdev Kumar Rana SHO of Police Station Vasant Kunj South are involved in these new forgeries. The contents of these documents support the submission that these are forged documents. However, the present petition seeks an FIR for filing of a forged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik in WPC 13604/2023. And therefore these forged annexures to this forged affidavit will be dealt with in detail separately.
33. All the statements of fact deposed to in this alleged affidavit of Amit Kaushik are basically based upon the annexed documents which are forged and whose source and origins are not explained by the affidavit. There is no statement in this alleged affidavit which is based upon the personal knowledge of DCP Amit Kaushik.
34. The primary purpose of the affidavit of DCP Special Cell SR called for by the Delhi High Court Order dated 8 May 2024 was to ascertain whether the alleged Threat assessment report whose copy was filed by lawyer Anand Khatri and lawyer Mehak Nakra with the alleged Status Reports of DCP Manoj C. in WP Criminal 437/ 2018 was a forged document.
35. The alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik contains at Annexure C to the affidavit what is described in the affidavit as a “fresh copy” of this Threat assessment report. This is the document which the Petitioner in WP Civil 13604/ 2024 has claimed is a forged document.
36. Since the document produced with DCP Manoj C.’s Status Reports by Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra and the document produced at Annexure C with the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik are both supposed to be copies of the same document (the Threat assessment report), they should be identical. Annexure C of the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik is supposed to be a better copy of the document described as Police Threat assessment report, a copy of which was allegedly annexed to DCP Manoj C.’s Status Reports.
37. A close comparison of the copy of the Police Threat assessment report produced along with Manoj C.’s Status Reports (Annexure A-2) and the copy of the Police Threat assessment report produced along with Amit Kaushik’s alleged affidavit (Annexure A-6 ) is called for. This comparison shows that these are copies of different documents and are not copies of the same document. The signature, signature stamp and the printing of the signatory’s name on the two documents, the placement of the signature and stamp are different in the two documents. There is also a difference in the signature itself. There are other differences in the two documents.
38. Put simply where we stand is this, Annexure A-2 was alleged to be a forged document with date and document number obscured. The Court asked the DCP Special Cell SR to produce another copy of the original. Annexure A-6 filed with the alleged affidavit of DCP Special Cell SR and stated to be a fresh copy of the original is different from Annexure A-2. Therefore, this conclusively establishes that the Police Threat assessment report produced with Manoj C.’s Status Reports was a forged document and to cover up that forgery, another forged document has been prepared and filed along with the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik as a fresh copy. The signatures of Amit Kaushik on the affidavit itself are also forged. Besides certain Police Officers, it becomes clear that lawyers Mehak Nakra and Anand Khatri are also involved in the filing of the forged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik and in the forgery of the second forged copy of the alleged Threat assessment report filed with this affidavit. It is also clear that Anand Khatri and Mehak Nakra have acted under the influence of and under the instructions of a group of powerful lawyers targeting the Petitioner.
39. Significantly, the alleged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik does not state whether the Threat assessment report is forged or genuine. This is because the alleged affidavit makes no claim that this enquiry was carried out by Amit Kaushik. There is no statement of DCP Amit Kaushik in this alleged affidavit, that he has made any investigation into whether the Threat assessment report was forged or genuine. There is no affirmation by DCP Amit Kaushik in his alleged affidavit that Annexure A-2 is not forged.
40. A comparison of the two copies (Annexure A-2 and Annexure A-6) of the same alleged original document (Threat assessment report) which have been produced with DCP Manoj C.’s Status Reports and DCP Amit Kaushik’s alleged affidavit and in particular a comparison of the signature, the stamp of the signatory and their placement on the two alleged copies establishes that both the copies are forged and fabricated. Therefore, the Threat assessment report allegedly signed by DCP Special Cell SR Alok Kumar allegedly on 14 August 2023 is a forged and fabricated document.
41. Some Police Officers are also involved in this forgery of Amit Kaushik’s alleged affidavit as they were also involved in the filing of the forged Threat assessment report on the court record of WP Crl 437/ 2023. Knowing that the affidavit would be used to make false statements before the Court and would be used to place forged documents on the court record, these Police Officers themselves have facilitated the filing of a forged affidavit for Amit Kaushik, who might have wanted to protect himself personally.
42. Amit Kaushik a DANIPS 2010 Officer is already tainted in that he was Additional DCP South West in 2021 when the Petitioner was being poisoned in Rajokri. Thousands of email complaints were sent by the Petitioner to multiple Police Officers including the DCP South West and the SHO Vasant Kunj South on their official email addresses. Thousands of complaints were posted on Twitter on the official account of DCP South West. These email complaints and Twitter communications were all ignored. As Addl DCP Southwest in 2021, Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 would have been aware of these complaints and of these Twitter posts. And he was party to ignoring them, while the Petitioner continued to be poisoned in Rajokri. Amit Kaushik was party to the criminal conspiracy spearheaded by Delhi Police acting on instructions of their political masters Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to poison and murder the Petitioner Seema Sapra in the premises that she rented in Rajokri in 2020 and which criminal conspiracy was carried out and given effect to by multiple attempts on the Petitioner’s life and by subjecting her to chronic poisoning in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and in 2024. Amit Kaushik DANIPS 2010 has been rewarded for his role in the criminal conspiracy and the attempts to murder the Petitioner by subsequent plum postings in PM security and now as DCP Special Cell.
43. Some additional details as to the brief facts narrated above are set out below.
44. WP Civil 13604/ 2024 filed by the Petitioner on 12 October 2023 seeks 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. |
45. 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. |
46. 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.
47. 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.
48. 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 |
49. It is in these seven Contempt Cases, that the Order dated 8 May 2024 reproduced above, came to be passed.
50. The Delhi High Court Order dated 8 May 2024 takes note of 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 |
51. The Order dated 8 May 2024 contained certain anomalies which are described below.
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 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 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. The Index (Table of Contents) of the Status Report filed by lawyer Anand Khatri in WP Crl 437/ 2018 on 6 October 2023 described Annexure G to the Status Report 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 to Civil WP 13604/ 2023. |
It would be more useful if the Order dated 8 May 2024 recorded 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 could 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. |
Since the present Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell (SR) is not the alleged author of the forged document, it would be more 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) could 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) could 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. |
It would 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. |
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 6 October 2023 vide Diary No 1845020/2023 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. 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. |
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” should instead have read 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 is 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 would have been 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. |
52. An affidavit of a Police Officer filed in Court has to be honest, forthright, accurate, and must address the important issues raised. The affidavit must not attempt to evade the issues and the relevant facts. It must not be cleverly drafted to mislead the Court. It must not omit relevant facts. The affidavit must indicate a clear understanding by the Deponent Police Officer of what questions, facts and issues he has been called upon by the Court to answer to and of the circumstances in which he has been asked to do so. A Police Officer cannot take advantage of mistakes and ambiguities in court orders and doing this establishes an intent to deceive.
53. The present petition is therefore being filed and is in the interest of justice.
54. Since 2012, 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 the cases filed by the Petitioner to seek justice.
55. 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-7.
56. 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.
57. In WP Crl 437/ 2018 filed by the Petitioner, 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. Annexed hereto as Annexure A-8 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 describes this document as Certificate of Ms. Lily Kley under section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 filed on behalf of Google LLC. It is submitted that 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.
58. 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.
59. The following provisions of the Indian Penal Code are attracted for forgery and fabrication of evidence by the filing of this forged affidavit of DCP Amit Kaushik in WP Civil 13604/2023
