Media Trial Before Court Trial

Eenadu news item - 15 October 2006

In India, trial by media happens LONG before court trial even begins. My case is no exception.

Here is an article, which appeared in the most widely circulated Telugu daily newspaper “Eenadu”.

The title of the article “peTaakulavutunna seemaantara peLLiLLu” (meaning “NRI marriages that are breaking down”), is one of the many articles which bashes NRI grooms, by citing “case studies”. This specific article is dear to me because this is a gift from MY PRINCESS.

I will not translate the entire article, but here is what the part shaded in yellow and outlined in red says:

A young woman from Saroornagar got married on 18 August 2005 to Anil who was settled in America. This alliance was brought by a marriage bureau. Anil went back to America 10 days after the wedding. The same year, on 13 September, he sent her visa papers. Thereafter, there was no response from him. After some days, upon seeing an email sent by Anil, she realized that she was cheated and complained to the Police. When Anil and his sister Gayathri, who cooperated with him, came to India by coincidence, the Police arrested them. It is because people in our country are not fully aware of foreign laws that such fraudsters are having a heyday.

As usual, the “victim” is an anonymous “young woman from Saroornagar” while the accused are not only named but also labeled as cheats and fraudsters!

Just FYI, this trial by media took place on Sunday, 15 October, 2006. The actual trial, after many many many adjournments, started sometime in September 2008 and ended in November 2009.

New Year Message for the Legal Terrorists

Year 2009 was another year full of lies, fraud and deceit, which ultimately stand exposed.

This new year, I expect that the Legal Terrorists will only show me the new depths they can sink into in their desperate attempt to bury the truth.

My new year message to them:

vinaaSa kaalE vipareeta buddhi!

Take Back The Night!

On the cold night of 28 December 2005:

An ailing father wailed in pain battling for life in Care Hospital, Secunderabad.

A weary wife and mother of three went to bed in her home to catch a few winks after many sleepless nights.

A soldier of the nation kept watch over his dying father.

Two young and distraught Non-Resident Indian scientists lay awake on a cold, dusty floor, locked up in Saroornager Police Station, unaware that they had been illegally detained and not knowing they would NEVER be able to see their father alive or dead EVER again.

As the sun rose the next morning, the sun set over the Challa family, with the news of the demise of Sri Suryanarayana, and in the name of the law of the land, the man’s own children were kept from seeing his body or bidding him good bye on his last journey.

This was a night when humanity, truth, fairness, law and justice were ruthlessly raped by LEGAL TERRORISTS.

Thousands of others have experienced similar nights and several may have lost their loved ones to LEGAL TERRORISM.

We may not be able to bring back the loved ones we lost, but in their honor and in honor of those who are still with us, let’s RECLAIM THE NIGHT!

Drama in the Family Court

The drama in the family court continues.

Despite having an entire system favoring them, the Legal Terrorists clamber for traction on the slimy slope of their own creation.

What can I say?

A 498a can change your life!

ఒక 498a మీ జీవితాన్నే మార్చస్తుంది!

एक 498a आप का ज़िन्दगी बदल दॆगा!

The Judgment

ACQUITTED on 9 November 2009, 4:15 p.m.

(In the common criminal law tradition, an acquittal formally certifies the innocence of the accused).

A wedding that allegedly costed 12 Lakhs

In the Family Court, my SIL and her witnesses insist that they spent Rs. 12 Lakhs on the wedding.

Here are a few pictures of the wedding. Go figure!

Also, my SIL wants a refund of her alleged marriage expenses of Rs. 12 Lakhs and Rs. 25 Lakhs as permanent alimony.

That’s my princess!
