My Personal E-mail to Prashant Bhushan 3 yrs back and my present.


Respected Sir,
             This month, I am leaving Delhi for trying new horizons of life. First of all, I express my deep gratitude towards you; for providing me an opportunity to work in your chamber for a considerable period, i.e., about 2 years, which has added great experience in my professional career as well as personal life. Apart from professional career, my attachment with your chamber has given me a deep insight into the mind of an eminent personality like you, working for public and social interest, by adopting socialism as a tool. Really, this experience will help me in a long way in my life.

             However, I will always love to find the answers of few questions in mind, which always torment me. Firstly, I will always try to find the answers for my frequent humiliations, for trivial mistakes. Though, in the heart of my hearts I always considered your rebukes as a chides of a GURU, but the other persons in your proximity told me that when you start humiliating a person, it means that you don't want a person to work in your chamber. The point view of other persons was reinforced when the serious blunder mistakes committed by other juniors were ignored by you, in comparison to which my mistakes were nothing . Sir, I was born in an agricultural family with small land holding and I even learned English language from 6th class. So, I may not be as efficient and intelligent as your other juniors. But in my total tenure of about 4 years in Central Information Commission and a considerable attachment with National Investigation Agency, nobody could find the serious faults in my working. Its also very relevant to remember that I was paid an amount of only Rs. 6,000/-, which was much-much less than the other juniors in chambers, who were much junior to me. Some juniors who were paid equal to me, had not even got their licence.  Still, I ignored everything, because I had come to learn.

                SECONDLY, I don't know why I was not allocated any meaningful work. I can understand that I may not be good in understanding the several branches of law, but I can't accept   that anybody can stand before me in the sphere of RTI Law. I experience the RTI Law as an applicant, then as an indirect Information Commissioner, by drafting the judgments of CIC, while my attachment with CIC as its Legal Consultant and then while working with some public authority I also experienced the role of PIO & FAA. Nobody in your chamber has such an experience. It pained me lot when I heard these words from you that, "Pranav, RTI me jo cases important nahi hain, wo Pardeep ko de do" And, the kind of opportunities which you have been providing to Pranav, with such kind of opportunities even a layman, without law degree can become a brilliant lawyer. Due to your patronage, Pranave considers everyone his junior. He committed the mistake of considering me his junior and I gave him befitting reply. He is not and can't be my senior.

FINALLY, I was shocked when you refused to grant me an experience certificate, for the work done by me in your chamber. And, by seeking experience certificate, I had not sought any favour, because the certificate was only for the true work which I had done in your chamber. Above all, you issue certificates EVEN to the law students/Interns who work in your chamber only for 10-15 days, but surprisingly you refused to provide a certificate to me.  To be honest with you, I had sought experience certificate for my personal satisfaction, not for any employment. If the experience certificates of important organisations like C.I.C. & N.I.A. cant help me, then no experience certificate can help me in my career.

           Be that as it may, I still respect you, for the good causes taken by you. I am not a flatterer, but still I have had a deep respect for the people who has done something for society. If the hard work pays & destiny supports the hard work, nobody can defeat me. I always pray to God that the people adverse to me may not die before seeing my success. I apologize in advance if I've hurt you in any manner. But this mail is essential to relive me from the waves of mental storm.

Deep Regards!
