728 Mr. David Cameron, and Queen Elizabeth II, should be ashamed of retaining objects obtained by coercion and under duress !!!

It is a regretable thing that Solicitor General Shri Ranjit kumar, in response to the PIL on bringing back the Kohinoor Diamond back to India, seems to have erred in presenting his arguments. It is good that the CJI T.S. Thakur has given an opportunity to the SG and the GOI to present a revised Affidavit. According to DeccanChronicle.Com(click-to-goto) dated 19th Apr. 2016, the Centre has informed the Supreme Court that it cannot stake a claim to the Kohinoor diamond, as it was not stolen or forcibly taken.

Another incorrect information submitted by Mr. Ranjit Kumar on the basis of the information reported to have been given to him by the Ministry of Culture, that the diamond was taken from a mine in Masulipatnam on the River Godavari. Even a 10 year boy will tell that the diamond was taken from a mine in "kOLLuru" on River Krishna, in Guntur District. The name of Masulipatnam town might have appeared because during early British Rule, kOLLuru Area of Guntur District was a part of Masulipatnam District (Krishna District), and a separate Guntur Dist. was not formed.

The submission by Shri Ranjit Kumar that the diamond was not stolen or obtained by force, is also not correct. The diamond was in fact obtained by Lord Dalhousie, the then Governor General of India, UNDER DURESS, BY USING HIS UNDUE INFLUENCE ON THE THEN RULER OF PUNJAB, DULEEP SINGH.

According to Indian-origin British MP Keith Vaz, the longest serving MP of Asian origin in England, Duleep Singh was ordered to personally "gift" the Kohinoor to the Queen of England.

After the subjugation of Punjab in the Second Sikh War in 1849, Duleep Singh, the last Sikh ruler of the Punjab, was ordered by then Governor General of India, Lord Dalhousie, to give the Kohinoor to the Queen personally.

According a report in The Independent, the viceroy, in a letter to a friend in 1849, wrote: "My motive was simply this: That it was more for the honour of the Queen that the Koh-i-Noor should be surrendered directly from the hand of the conquered prince into the hands of the sovereign who was his conqueror, than it should be presented to her as a gift."

The lackadaisical approach (उदासीन दमलोला ढंग) of the Central Government appears to be from its unwillingness to displease U.K. The Central Government may be begging British Government for several favors, such as foreign investments, support for Membership in Security Council, help to Indian leaders and industrialists to purchase prime Real Estate in Central London, maintain confidentiality in case of illegal moneys stashed by Indians in British Tax Havens, not to expeditiously extradite Vijay Mallya, when Indian Government makes an Extradition request, delay/refuse on some flimsy grounds or other, ... it can be any favor. But even if the Indian Government keeps mum on Kohinoor Diamond, there is no certainty that British Government will co-operate elsewhere.

In Telugu language, there is a proverb: "cinta caccinA pulupu cAvanaTlu". Approx. English: "Like the Tamarind Tree which does not lose its sour taste, even after its death." Though Britain has lost most of its colonies, England has not learnt any lessons, and it has not lost its colonial character.

We can see what Mr. David Cameron, the British Prime Minister is reported to have said on this subject:

"...If you say yes to one you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty. ..." "...I think I'm afraid to say, to disappoint all your viewers, it's going to have to stay put. ..." "...The exact provenance of the diamond is unclear. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's humble comments. वैबीराव एक गधे के विनम्र राय . వైబీరావ్ గాడిద వినమ్ర వాణి. You have every right to differ with me. I respect your right. आपको मेरे मत से भिन्न राय रखने के संपूर्ण हक है। मै उस अधिकार को परिपूर्ण रूप से गौरव देता हुँ. మీకు, మీ భిన్నమైన అభిప్రాయాన్ని కలిగిఉండే సంపూర్ణ హక్కు ఉంది. దానిని ఎంతో నేను గౌరవిస్తాను. However, pl. examine this donkey's views also. परन्तु एस गधे के दृष्टिकोण को भी अनुशीलन कीजिये. కానీ ఈ గాడిద దృష్టికోణాన్ని కూడ ఓర చూపుతో కంటజూడుమీ, క్రీగంట జూడమీ.

Did Mr. David Cameron mean to say, that the British Museum is full of OBJECTS OBTAINED FROM COLONIES UNDER DURESS OR COERCION ? Did the East India Company and the British Government fill their Treasuries and Museums with plundered objects?

Actually, Mr. Cameron ought to have voluntarily apologised for the past historical atrocities and oppressions, and offered the Indian Government to take back their legitimate objects. This would have salvaged the ethical state of the 21st Century England, whatever be their past.

ELEVATED ROLE OF ATTORNEY GENERALS AND SOLICITOR GENERALS IN INDIA

Attorney Generals and Solicitor Generals are not expected to function like "postmen" or "emails", i.e. just carrying the messages from Govt. to Court, and from Court to the Government. Attorney Generals and Solicitor Generals are not Government Clerks. They have to guide the Government properly, about long term consequences of taking any particular position. If the Govt. still persists with their instructions, then the Attorney Generals , Solicitor Generals will not have any alternatives except to comply with Govt's instructions.

688 Part 2 of Vijay Mallya's Disappearance, भाग २ विजय माल्या के अंतर्धान, భాగం ౨, విజయ్ మాల్యా అంతర్ధానం

On 26th Feb. 2016, in our post No. 675 Link: Click to go to Post No. 675 at this blog , we have discussed the likely impact on the country if Mr. Vijay Mallya leaves India and settles down in London, as planned by him and- we also observed that we have to live and wait another 40 years (till Mr. Mallya reaches an age of 100 years) to see the progress of 1. Recovery of Indian Banks' Loans 2. His conviction for economic offenses, till all the suits and cases against him and his Companies reach their logical conclusion. Today, the Attorney General of India is reported to have told the Supreme Court that Mr. Mallya has already left India to London, one week back. It means he left India somewhere around 3rd March 2016, surreptitiously.

Our Finance Ministry, Our HOme Ministry, Our Ministry of External Affairs, may quote so many Statutes, Notifications, Rules, Regulations, Guidelines, Restrictions, for not impounding the passport of Mr. Mallya before he left the country for "Good", and for not alerting the Airports and Airlines, at least in the last moment.

All our Governments both the Union Government, and the State Governments, their bureaucrats have some sort of "Nelson's Eye" to open when they want to see, and to close when they do not want to see. When Ms. Jashoda Ben applied for her Passport, they could trace out some Rule which required her to submit a Declaration from her Spouse ! How swiftly they could reject her application and stick to their outdated rules ! When it comes to Mr. Vijay Mallya, why they could not wake up early, and safeguard the interest of this country. Probably because, they are Grade I Patriots and Nationalists.

Mr. Vijay Mallya may also be a distinguished Grade I Patriot and Nationalist.

We can also recollect how our own Indian Officials helped Warren Anderson, the American Chairman of Union Carbide, which was involved in a grave poisonous gas leak tragedy killing and dis-abilitating thousands of innocent people at Bhopal (popularly called Bhopal Gas Disaster), to leave India coolly and comfortably. This, as per reports, was done on the oral orders of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, Prime Minister at that time, P.V. Narasimha Rao, Home Minister at that time, Arjun Singh, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh at that time.

Like Lalith Modi of the IPL Fame, to Mr. Vijay Mallya also, UK may give a firm shelter, confer on him UK Passport, Knighthood at appropriate times. It may not co-operate with India, to extradite him for facing Courts. Our Union Cabinet Ministers may get telephonic hotline pressures from Mr. David Cameron or Barack Obama, and others, not to press for his extradition.

We do not know how many billions / millions Mr. Mallya has stashed with British Banks and, British Tax Havens such as Caveman Islands, Virgin Islands.

Even if British Government is willing co-operate, Mr. Mallya can get an advance scent of his possible extradition, and he may hop on to some other obliging country, which will not only accept him, but also confer on him Citizenship.

Some MP may raise the issue tomorrow in Lok Sabha / Rajya Sabha, and it may lead to some BLAME ONE ANOTHER SESSIONS.

There is a website called http://mallyainparliament.in. Here is the link to it, for those who wish to have a look at it: Click to go to MallyainParliament.in.. At the website, you can find some of Dr. Mallya's Tweets, Re-tweets.

There is also a poll at mallyainparliament.in, about BJP's performance.

Poll

Has the BJP government lived up to your expectations in its first year?
Succeeded (71) 66.00%
Failed (29) 27.00%
Somewhat succeeded (8) 7.00%

According to mallyainparliament.in, he is an independent M.P. elected first time in 2002, and second time in 2010. More details about him, from the same website:

During his first term in Parliament, Dr Mallya served on the Parliamentary committees on Civil Aviation, Defence and Industry.

As an MP, he travelled extensively through all the districts of Karnataka in his political capacity, meeting the District Commissioners and senior leaders to understand the special nature of the people's problems. His Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) funds were used extensively across the state to build roads, schools, community centres and public infrastructure. See full break up of MP FUNDS here.

He is noted for his successful bidding in auction of items that are considered of great cultural value to India. In the year 2004, he placed the winning bid for the famous sword of Tipu Sultan and brought it back to India. Therefater, he also purchased several other effects belonging to Tipu Sultan including a cannon, weapons and personal items. In 2009, he bid for the belongings of Mahatma Gandhi.

He has also established the Mallya Hospital in Bangalore and has funded the MallyaAditi International School, a private school in Bangalore.

Educational Qualification: Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration (Honoris Causa), Southern California University, Irvine, USA B.Com. (Hons.) from St. Xaviers College, Calcutta, Schooling La Martinere, Calcutta.

Now, our only hope can be on Supreme Court. If Supreme Court can act as swiftly, as firmly, as intelligently, as it has acted in case of Sahara India's Subrata Roy, we can hope that some of the properties can be auctioned, and the dues of the suffering Indian Banks, may be at least partly satisfied. In the meantime, the CEOs of the 17 Banks which financed the Companies of Mr. Vijay Mallya have to spend some sleepless nights.

We shall try to predict, what Mr. Mallya is going to do in the near future !

Some Great Supreme Court Senior Advocate like Mr. Ramjeth Malani or Mr. Venugopal or some Subrahmanyam may come up representing Mr. Mallya, praying for exemption from his personal appearance in court.

Mr. Mallya may claim that he suffers from High B.P., Sugar (diabetes), kidney problems, heart ailments, arthritic pains. He may not claim erectile dysfunction.

Mr. Mallya may seek Anticipatory Bail, and an assurance from GOI, and State Governments, that he will not be arrested after disembarking from his own/Chartered Aircraft.
