Respected elders, dear sisters and brothers,
This is with reference to the earlier Bulletin regarding the judgement dated July 7, 2015 by the Hon’ble High Court, Allahabad, dismissing all the writ petitions (11 nos.) filed by Shri Navneet Kumar Saxena against Shri Ram Chandra Mission and our beloved Master.
The pleadings taken earlier by Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena and later by his son Shri Navneet Kumar Saxena were based mostly on the grounds that the President and other Office Bearers of Shri Ram Chandra Mission (Society) can be appointed only by election through the casting of votes, and not by nomination by its founder President.
The pleadings of both the sides were heard at length by the Hon’ble Justice Sudhir Agarwal of High Court, Allahabad, who adjudicated finally in favour of Shri Ram Chandra Mission and our beloved Master vide the judgement pronounced in open court on 10.07.2015. I feel happy to share with you some of the important details of the judgement.
Judgement : page no 69 (para nos 131 to 135).
131. Since the entire edifice to maintain all these writ petitions is founded on the issue that the Mission/Society can be managed only by an Office Bearer, who has been elected by casting of votes and not otherwise, which has not found favour with this Court, I find that no ground stands substantiated to grant any relief, whatsoever, to the petitioners in all these writ petitions.
132. Having failed to find out any illegality in the orders passed by the Registrar/Assistant Registrar, I do not find any reason to interfere with the same.
133. Sri Ajit Kumar, learned counsel for the respondents has vehemently contended that filing of one after another writ petitions is a gross abuse of the process of law. There is a lot of concealment, omissions as well as misstatements in the writ petitions, showing that the petitioners have not come with clean hands etc. Though various authorities have been cited on these issues, but since I have chosen to decide the issues on merits, I do not find it necessary to look into those aspects of the matter.
134. All the writ petitions, in view of above, lack merits.
135. Dismissed.
Order Date: 10.07.2015
With Regards
Uma Shankar Bajpai, Secretary, Shri Ram Chandra Mission
