Mr. R P Bansal
You feel cheated, but please note that feeling cheated may not be the legal definition of cheating under S.420 etc..
I have gone through HC order and appeal you filed before honorable Supreme Court. Both the courts are fully justified in dismissing the matter, albeit for different reasons.
Please note that I am not supporting Anil Ambani, but to see the clear picture please analyze following situation empathetically…
1. Almost all the senior officers, spoil the ACR of their subordinates, you may also have done it while in government service, and subsequently these subordinates would have been denied promotions / increments / they would have felt cheated / frustration…. Have you heard of any criminal case filed by these ??
2. You got national and international recognition out of government expenses and training, Anil Ambani plucked you out of government and then chucked you out of his company at will. You resigned (terminated the government) and he terminated you from service. So obviously if we consider the government as a person, then you cheated government, did government file any criminal case against you ?
3. What is the value of your expertise to Anil Ambani, a phone call and few Lacs rupees ? Your expertise was available to higher bidder, so you were saleable ? Anil Ambani possibly used you, once you became redundant, he got you thrown out ? what is so criminal in that ???
(I know a professor of IIT around 40 years age, you know what salary professors get, one MNC offered 40 times more than what he was getting, he said GET LOST to those MNC guys), you had no guts to say that to Anil Ambani & Company, you said Get Lost to Govt of India ? what was the need to talk so loudly about this in your statement ??
Although judges will not be influenced by this, but no one likes IAS/IPS/IRS/ITS guys going to these private companies. Even Anil Ambani would have seen you as a man who can be poached by his competitors, you surely would have behaved too eager to join him.
This would show a true picture to you, if you wish to see, Still I feel you are aggrieved and the remedy is…..
1. 1. Check for the limitation and file the civil suit for recovery of your dues, salary etc.. You will succeed.
2. 2. Send a complaint to Income Tax department (torture them with RTI if they do not act), that there is some bungling on TDS. They have the cause to file criminal case against your friends, not you.
3. 3. Ditto with PF department.
Move on with life, Get Law degree or start your own venture, Anil Ambani is no worse then a senior government officer screwing the ACR of his subordinates.
