Readers’ Feedback – October 2009

Readers’ Feedback – October 2009

I feel it’s a great effort by LEX WITNESS to put Legal and Corporate affairs on the front. It’s a step towards taking the Law to the public and educating them about their Rights.

Witness will be a monthly update for all the students of LAW and its should be a must to read magazine in all the law as well as management colleges. I must congratulate WITNESS for this achievement and wish all success in coming year!

It was indeed a great treat to go through your August issue. Indian Judiciary is full of Vigor and vision, it holds a promise and great responsibility as well. Your effort by making the society vigilant about its rights and obligations will go a long way to recognise ethics, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility for its future development.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Articles published by you which ranged from the basic legal problems to a broader spectrum of issues, keeping in mind the societal point of view. I must congratulate you for your endeavour and hope that the good work would be continued with the same fervour in the future also...

NRIs SPEAK…

Non Resident Indians (NRIs) living in the USA have shown their dissent on the Supreme Court of India’s judgment on the Interpol’s Red Corner Notice in Bhavesh Jayanti Lakhani versus State of Maharashtra Case. They intend to canvass their local Congressmen and Senators as well as the US immigration department on the issue…

  • This recent Supreme Court ruling that applies to Indian citizens should be forwarded to the US Justice Department requesting it to initiate extradition proceedings (against all those who have committed crimes in the USA and are being provided safe haven in India).
  • Inform the International community saying that India is violating all the international treaties that it has signed and although it swears by INTERPOL, it does not respect Interpol Red Corner notices. Infact, even US citizen abductors hiding in India are being allowed to get away with their crimes.
  • Anybody obtaining a potential immigrant visa from any US consulate in India should be made to sign an affidavit stating that they will abide by the judgments given by US courts.
  • In cases of Parental Child Abduction from the USA to India, make it mandatory to not to issue American visas to the child kidnapping parent’s relatives and friends involved in planning and execution of the kidnapping.
  • Impose sanctions against the child kidnapping parent’s relatives and friends involved in planning and execution of the kidnapping. In fact, the US Courts have already started imposing several financial penalties against the perpetuators of International Parental Child Abduction. In one case the US Courts have awarded damages in several million dollars against the abductor mother and her mother (and the grandmother was jailed when she returned to the USA in an attempt to dispose off her assets). In another case, an abductor mother who returned to the USA after 18 years thinking that the warrant against her must have lapsed found herself in jail soon after she tried to enter the USA.
  • Since even the US citizen abductors are being allowed to get away with their crimes in India (simply because they are using influence or because of the easy to misuse laws and rampant corruption), the US government should initiate action in the international courts.
