Dear Sir/ Madam,

SUB: URGENT RETURN OF MY STREET-INDICATOR BOARD -- WITH ADVOCATE'S EMBLEM ON IT.

1) I am a 1971-War Veteran (in this year India is celebrating Golden Jubilee of that War), a Senior Citizen, Advocate-on-Record (Supreme Court of India) and a Sr. Journalist.
I was the Counsel for Dr Sahib Singh Verma (BJP's 1st Chief Minister, and now Late) in the FIR filed in J&K by PDP-Congress Government against Dr Verma & Shri Vinay Katiyar -- the said FIR became still-born; thereafter, at the request of Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee ji, I drafted the Legal Grounds for obtaining Bail for Rahul Mahajan (s/o Late Shri Pramod Mahajan) in the drugs case -- he not only got Bail, but the FIR against him also came a cropper (became still-born). Shri Narendra Modi ji & Shri Amit Shah ji invited me for Brain-Storming Meetings of BJP before the two General Elections and UP State Assembly Elections. I never took any Fees, Gift or Position for anything done by me for the BJP -- so that I remain under no personal obligation and, thus, remain free to follow my own independent Conscience in National & Societal matters.

2) The entire stretch of the road from Dayal Chowk to Husadia Chowk (especially the Viram Khand area) of Gomti Nagar (Lucknow) does not have a single 'street-indicator board'; consequently, one of my Visitors from Delhi reached Vibhuti Khand (instead of turning into Viram Khand-2) due to the said lack of street-indicator boards -- though it is the Duty of Nagar Nigam to provide such boards, yet at my own cost I installed one such board and added my name & Lawyers' Emblem to it; it is a sturdy metallic board measuring 3 feet x 1.25 feet, with white letters on a black background, and a 5 feet high stand -- on 3 sides it is shaped like the sides of a rectangle but on the 4th side it is shaped like an Arrow.

Yesterday, while visiting the nearby Temple, I found the said board missing -- upon enquiry from people who work nearby, I came to know that only my board has been removed by Lucknow Nagar Nigam WHEREAS the sign-boards of other Advocates are in-tact. Immediately, I went to Nagar Nigam's Office at Husadia and met Shri Rajendra Pal (TS) & Shri Ashish Kushwaha (RI) -- who were kind enough to share with me the information that it might be difficult to trace my own board in their godown, but they condescendingly offered to compensate me for the same by replacing it with someone else's similar-sized board as soon as the same will be removed from another place; this is like the local police telling a Lady whose daughter has been kidnapped that it may be difficult to trace her own daughter, but a replacement can be provided as soon as someone else's daughter is recovered from somewhere else!

My Mobile Number was also written on the reverse of the said board -- but the concerned staff of Nagar Nigam neither Notified me in writing nor by Voice-Call/ SMS/ WhatsApp BEFORE removing the said board. Moreso, there was gross discrimination against me in selectively removing the boards -- plz either remove all other Advocates' boards and face their combined wrath during the coming Assembly Elections, or return my said board asap. Or compensate me with the costs incurred by me on the said board -- which was more than Rs.3, 000.

Or else, I shall be forced to go to Hon'ble Supreme Court/ High Court -- in that case, many skeletons will come out from Nagar Nigam's closet, e.g. blatant contempt of Hon'ble Supreme Court by making Lucknow a safe haven for Bangladeshis who, in order to escape Detention Camps in Assam, are working as private Garbage-Collectors under the very nose of Lucknow Nagar Nigam (by doing so they even manage to obtain Aadhaar Cards), scandals in distribution of food-packets during Lockdowns, etc etc.

Yours,

(Gulshan Kumar Bajwa)
