Good Evening Speakasians,
The last couple of days have been very hectic and I have been putting in long hours trying to co ordinate many activities like the Hon. Lahoti ji Sitting, The Writ filed by AISPA, Mr. Melwyn Crasto’s release and his bail matter coming up on 2nd December, 2011 and many other matters which I cannot revel at this moment.
My update today will be very short and concise and will primarily address the following matter:
* The first meeting of the Hon. Mediators meeting yesterday presided by Hon. Mr. Justice R. C. Lahoti ji.
The Meeting held yesterday at Delhi (Noida) was extremely positive and fruitful for us Speakasians. What I understand is that the Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji was seized of the entire matter. We all know that Hon. Justice Lahoti ji is known to be meticulously perfect and our matter is in safe hands of a retired chief justice of India.
I am sure that when a matter is handled by eminent personality like the Ex Chief Justice of India the parties are assured that the matter will be settled in the most appropriate manner in accordance with legal, social and commercial Jurisprudence. Speakasians there cannot be a fitter or better forum then the present moderator Hon. Mr. Justice R. C. Lahoti to sit in arbitration in our matter.
What I wish to bring to your collective attention is that now that the matter is before a Hon. Mediator we need to understand that every forum has to follow a certain protocol and decorum befitting that particular forum. When the matter is under arbitration especially before such eminent personality like Hon. Lahoti ji we must follow protocol to the ‘T’.
Yesterday the meeting was attended by the counsel for the petitioners, the company (SAOL) and the RBI. Hon. Justice Lahoti ji has issued notices to all parties to remain present before him on the next meeting. The final date and venues of the next date will be announced by the Hon. Mediator Mr. Justice Lahoti ji shortly.
I urge and request my family, my fellow Speakasians, let us maintain our composure and dignity and present ourselves as thorough professional associates of a truly international business house and conduct ourselves as a worthy business professional.
I understand that it will be prudent on our part not to expect or give minute by minute updates on this sensitive matter while it is active and alive in this mediation process. I for one will not be able to give daily updates in this matter as I am duty bound to see that every movement in the Speakasian matter be conducted properly for eventual victory for all of us.
That the Speakasia model is way ahead of its time is the only crime of this revolutionary business model and this quote comes to my mind instantaneously:
“Conflict lies at the core of innovation.”…Emanuel R. Piore
Have faith, Have Patience, Trust your Company.
Jai Speakasia
Proud to be Speakasian
