COMMISSIONER OF SRI LANKA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION EXPRESSES ANGUISH FOR THE
CONDUCT OF SENIOR ADVOCATES, AMIT DESAI AND ASHISH KAMAT
Concerning court proceedings in the matter of Cr. Writ Petition (4936/2017) preferred by Dr. Udit Raj AND Cr. PIL (2/2017) by noted trade unionist Ashok Kumar Jain, distressed netizens across the globe, since concerned cheating of thousands of crores of policy holder’s funds and Government of India sponsored insurance programmes and regretfully such proceedings were misled by Sr. Advocates, Amit Desai and Ashish Kamat.
Dr. Pratibha Mahanamahewa, Former Commissioner of Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission And Senior Research Fellow, University of Munster, Germany came across a communication by Dr. Udit Raj (designation - Chairman, All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations) to the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Bombay High Court, complaining deceptions by Sr. Advocates, Amit Desai and Ashish Kamat to mislead the proceedings in the Hon’ble Court of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavhan. Dr. Pratibha expressed anguish that the issue concerns alleged scamming of thousands of crores by private insurance companies yet the Insurance Regulator (IRDA) let’s them off by some friendly warnings or paltry penalties, though the law provides much harsher punishments, it thus leads credibility to allegations of illegal gratification to IRDA officials.
Dr. Pratibha expresses his pain that in a grave issue of public funds being cheated, Senior Advocates Desai & Kamat instead of assisting the court raised false, frivolous and irrelevant contentions, to not even let the court investigate the allegations, causing a Contempt Petition against them. Dr. Pratibha though expressed optimism that no designated senior counsel worth his salt would indulge in such reprehensible conduct and possibly they have been misled by their briefing counsels (MKA & Co. & Naik Naik & Co. respectively instructed the Senior Counsels).
Dr. Pratibha having interacted on multiple occasions with many Hon’ble Judges of India carries a high regard for their intellect and fair mindedness of not having spared the mighty and even well-heeled Senior Advocates, hence appealed to the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Bombay High Court for deciding the Criminal Writ Petitions and the Contempt Petition on the principles of well-founded jurisprudence, since concerns larger public interest of probity and professional accountability impacting not only India but also neighboring nations.
