The President of India 16 December 2014

Rashtrapati Bhawan

New Delhi.

Sir,

Re: GIPSA companies tactics of Writ Petition filed to harass,intimidate

and finish the career of honest citizens of India

With reference to above I beg to lay before your most exalted honour

that due to the extremely litigious attitude in the following 4 General

Insurance Public Sector (henceforth called as GIPSA ) Companies millions

of rupees of Public money and innumerable national resources ,including

precious time of our judiciaries are deliberately wasted.

As your excellency is the appointing authority of the CMDs of the

GIPSA companies,I bring it to your kind attention that :-

1. That as per the Law Commission report No. 126ththe Public Sector

Undertakings (PSUs) must eschew litigation with their employees.

(relevant pages are enclosed in the annexure*).

2. That the Ministry of Finance is a very big Ministry and GIPSA officials

have effectively colluded so as to apply bureaucracys layer of non

transparency to take advantage of unclear law and non transparent

manner of working as a two pronged strategy:-

(a):To protect the interests of employees of doubtful integrity:-

example: I got such a list from CBI,almost all the GIPSA employees


2/7

list facing the charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act shows

that every one of such GIPSA employees are promoted either in the

grade or designation.

(b): To harass,intimidate,destroy the career of honest employees.

That at least 3 known cases of taking stay orders over the decision of

Central Information Commission have come to notice of the

complainant,moreover the GIPSA a non registered association has

secured court stay to keep itself out of RTI act,though it runs entirely

on public money.

That the complainant, an activist for the cause of transparency in public life

wrote RTIs in the matter to all the concerened departments,i.e. the law

Commission,Dept of Law & Justice, Ministry of Finance,LIC,GIC,GIPSA

companies etc,he got vague and evasive replies on the basis of which it is

reasonably concluded that there is no clarity in the matter before the 4 PSU

GIPSA companies,besides LIC and GIC,however both LIC and GIC replied

that they do not file Writ Petitions against their employees.

However the following 4 GIPSA companies where corruption is

systematically supported and where the employees of doubtful

integrity continue to be showered with prospects/opportunity of

promotion are continuing with the recourse of Writ Petitions

effectively to curb the legal rights of honest employees:-

1. The New India Assurance Co. Ltd

2. National Insurance Co. Ltd

3. Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd

Page 2 :Complaint of ShriGopal Soni 16.12.14

4. United India Insurance Co. Ltd

As the 4 General Insurance Public Sector companies are fully owned

by the Central Government your excellency may issue suitable

directions to the CMDs of all the GIPSA companies and the chairman

of the GIPSA Mr. G Srinivasan to strictly follow the law commission

report in respect of eschewing litigation with the employees.

A lawful intervention for saving the livelihood of honest

employees,saving the precious resources of our nation,saving the

habitual abuse of public money and to stop the personal hatred in

public life against the complainant is prayed.

Yours Sincerely,

Shri Gopal Soni
