Sub: Violation of Article 21 by Judicial Officer of Addl. Munsif Magistrate , Chirala, Prakasham District, AP, India-Action-Req-Reg.
Ref: PUCL State President Mrs. Jaya Vindhyala Arrest and Remanded in Bailable Case Crime No. 75/2013 of Police Station 1 Town, Chirala, Prakasham District U/S 120(B), 503, 292(1) IPC & Section 66(A), 67 OF IT Act 2000 & Section 34 IPC, dated 12-05-2013.
Sir,
I, President of People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), Andhra Pradesh Unit by name Jaya Vindhyala D/o V K Reddy, aged about 48 years, Occ: Advocate and Practicing at High Court of AP, Hyderabad, A.P, India, O/o 16-8-908/7, Malakpet X Road, Hyderabad—24, AP, India, Mobile No: 094404 30263/ 9396320723, Fax & Tel. No: 040-24414736
I state that being a State President of PUCL, AP took up public issues and some leader’s illegal acts and Atrocities of strong groups against the weaker and down trodden sections on several occasions state wide. In the processes of taking of the issues to protect some section of people from the muscular forces as well as political tycoons are so called NETHAS LIKE MANAVA MRUGAS are been chased by our voluntary organization on several times.
That our organization raised voice against the illegal activities of one sitting MLA of Chirala by name Amanchi Krishna Mohan due to which such a MLA bored grudge against our PUCL organizers including me and by using his influences, he got registered a false case against our organization members (14) including me, for that the police registered a crime, Vide Crime No: 75/2013 DATED: 18-04-2013 U/S 120(B), 503, 292(1) IPC & Section 66(A), 67 OF IT Act 2000 & Section 34 IPC, of 1 Town Police Station, Chirala, Prakasham District.
After registering the above mentioned Crime the Police of Chirala Arrested me on 12-05-2013 at Padma Rao Nagar, Hyderabad in the morning hours at about between 8 to 8.30 Am by using large number of armed force along with only one women constable forcibly entered in to portion which belongs to my friend house dragged me out from the house. The above said Police behaved like STREET ROWDIES and AREA GOONDAS with me and without informing to any one of my KIN and KITH LITERALLY THEY KIDNAPPED ME without informing me about the CRIME.
That after shifting me from Hyderabad to Chirala they informed me (after 10 hours i.e. in the evening after 6 Pm) about the CRIME and alleged offences and subsequently showed me as arrested and also produced me concerned Addl. Munsif Magistrate for Judicial Custody on 12-05-2013 at about between 1930-2000 hours ie in the late evening along with case diary in which INVESTIGATING OFFICER stated offences all are the BAILABLE in NATURE.
I further submit that the alleged offences all are BAILABLE in NATURE. Though the concerned Investigating Officer didn’t choose to FOLLOW the PROCEEDURE which is CONTEMPLATED AMMENDED Cr.PC U/S 41 and NOT SERVED any Notice with regard to the explanation of the Offences by BYPASSING SUCH PROCEEDURE CONCERNED INVESTIGATING officer opted to arrest me and produced before the concerned magistrate
It is further states that on production of me before concerned judicial officer, I informed that I have been ill treated by the police personell while being shifted from Hyderabad to Chirala without any warrant by adopting illegal methods and misbehaved with me. Though the concerned Magistrate didn’t recorded my anguish and ill treatment by the police in police custody at the time, time was at about 8:00 P.M, since police threat I requested the judicial officer to put me under his judicial custody or release me on bail. Since it is bailable in nature it is discretionary power and by considering my situation having the authority the concerned judicial officer could have release on executing a personal bond without any surety, but my council was Mr. Srinivasulu and Mr. Prasad very much present and moved the bail petition and also very much ready to comply the orders of the honorable court during that night.
That the concerned magistrate had not considered my request and my Council request and remanded me for 12 days for judicial custody and directed me to stay adjacent to police station, which was in his jurisdiction i.e. Police Station, Parchuri, where I faced lot of problems till next day morning. Then they shifted me to the prison, Ongole, Prakasham District. i.e. Mahila Prison on 13-05-2013 at about 7:30 A.M., on the next day i.e. 13-05-2013, my bail petition was considered in the late evening after 7:30 P.M and enlarged bail on furnishing of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties in bailabale case. Where I am non-local women being an advocate and Human Rights Activists, no one local person came forward to stand as surety due to concerned MLA threat. Finally our advocate’s friends came forward and stood as surety and executed bail bonds. Due to putting heavy surety amount and considering bail petition in the late evening, I was forced to be in the prison on that night and on 14-05-2013 in the EVENING (BEFORE 6 Pm) I was released by the jail authorities, IT IS NOTHING BUT ILLEGAL DETENTION for 3 DAYS and THEY TORTURED ME MENTALLY, WHAT HAPPENED and WHAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH ME I CAN’T UNDERSTAND TILL TODAY. I AM an ACTIVIST of HUMAN RIGHTS and A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN FROM THIS GREAT NATION, THE JUDICIAL OFFICER and STATE POLICE BEHAVED LIKE A LICENCED GOONDAS WITH ME, THEN WHAT ABOUT SITUATION OF ORDINARY WOMEN.
It is further submitted to the higher authorities of Judiciary of you, please look into the matter and examine and enquire how the judicial officers have acted and violated personal liberty of mine which is given by the constitution of India as per article 21 and take necessary action and protect personal liberty of the citizens like Human Rights activists (like myself).
It is further Submitted that due to all above acts of police and judicial officer, I undergone serious mental agony and I was degraded by the police and judicial officer being a human rights ACTIVIST, lady advocate, I faced lot of insult by State Acts and judicial negligence.
It is submitted that I don’t know which institution could compensate whatever I undergone, a mental agony, insult, degrade from all these DAYS till now.
I am expecting stringent action against concerned judicial officer and against the STATE POLICE (concerned investigating police officer) and protect the rights of citizens of the India.
Please give reply within A week
Thanking You,
Sincerely Yours
Jaya Vindhyala
