What
you find below is a rather distorted copy of a communication I had
receieved from the secretary of karakulam grama panchayath.
the
notice says that the matter of illegal construction and atmospheric
pollution will be decided at the lok adalath being held under the
auspices of the dt. judge Thiruvananthapuram at the panchayath office
on august 23, 2013 and
if I am not present on the stipulated date the
case will be decided ex-parte.
I remember that this was delivered to me on august 18, 2013.
I
had planned a trip to new delhi in august 2013 and would have been
in the train on that day had I not postponed the trip at the last
moment. That way I would have missed the communication and the matter
would have been decieded against me. I reached the panchayath office
very much in time.
So
that strategy did not work.
How
can the panchayath secretary contradict the order of the lok adalath,
that too, when the panchayath itself had referred the case to the lok
adalath for decision ?
Well
that is what the opposite party's lawyer has been harping on at the
execution petition till date.
It
was all verbal and I am waiting for the written version but that is
being postponed time and again with the opposite party's counsel “NOT
READY”.
Last
time the counsel was directed to file it on the last working day
before the vacation and the case was adjourned till the end of the
summer vacation – that is end may 2014.
I
had been to the court on the last working day before the vacation
that is April 11, 2014, to collect my copy. As expected it has not
been filed.

Yes;
I had filed an execution petition with the “appropriate authority”.
And for the first time in my life, I had been to a court of the subordinate
judiciary. The practice here is different from the courts of the
higher judiciary but I am gradually getting used to it in the bargain
making a few minor mistakes here and there.
As
is usual with almost all cases involving me, the opposite party is
desperately expecting their masters to keep their promise, on the
strength of which they had done the dirty on me.
Hence
the request for postponements time and again expecting that at the
next hearing I wont be there to plead my case.
And
there is a huge hue and cry going on all around. The places I visit
are swarming with goondas ( and their feminine genders ).
I
am keeping my cool. Ultimately the gestapo will have to face me and
then we will see what can be done about it. I am in no hurry.
i
WILL try to cross the bridge when I come to it.
