Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (24 Feb. 2012)

Good Morning Speakasians,

The AISPA writ (WP (cr) 3611/2011) was heard by the Hon’ble Divisional bench of the Mumbai High Court yesterday. As you all are aware that the Ad interim relief prayed for in this Writ is that the investigation by the EOW especially against the panelists should be kept in abeyance till the final disposal of the Mediation Process being undertaken by the Hon. Mr. R.C.Lahotiji.

The EOW informed the Hon’ble High Court that the Hon. Supreme Court had passed an order yesterday i.e. 23^rd February, 2012, that the investigation by the EOW can continue. We have seen the Supreme Court order and the order is abundantly clear that yesterdays matter before the Hon’ble Supreme Court was simply for seeking permission from the court to park the US$ 10 Million deposited with the Registry of the Supreme Court in a Fixed Deposit so that the amount could earn interest while the matter is being decided. The EOW matter was not even discussed forget getting such an order as mentioned by the PP in the High court.

This is how the EOW and the Public Prosecutor have been trying to delay the process and now they have stooped to the levels of misinforming the courts. The Court on hearing this has asked the EOW to place on record, yesterday’s order of the Supreme Court. I shudder to think how the Public Prosecutor is going to substantiate his claims.

The respondent No 3 Mr. Navneet Khosla once again tried to explain the SAOL matter to the Hon’ble court in his own biased way to which our Sr. Counsel Mr. P.S. Patwalia remarked that there are two kinds of people in this world one who will always have problems and complaints and the other who will try and find solutions, Mr. Patwalia indicated that Mr. Navneet Khosla clearly falls in the first category. Mr. Patwalia went on to bring to the attention of the Hon’ble Court through various orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the reports of the Hon’ble Mediator Mr. R.C.Lahotiji, how the Hon’ble Supreme Court has taken a holistic view of the entire matter as this pertains to a huge mass of people and the Hon’ble Supreme Court was interested in resolving this dispute expeditiously and not let it go through the rigors of a lengthy legal process and as such was pleased to order a mediation in the matter.

Mr. Patwalia informed the Court and brought to its notice that it seems that the Respondent No. 3 Navneet Khosla seems to be more interested in arm twisting rather than in his money, if he was really interested in his money then he should opt for the EXIT OPTION and peacefully EXIT but on the contrary the respondent has preferred to file a complaint before the Metropolitan Magistrate Court for damages and has claimed a sum of over 35 lakhs from the Company.

This clearly shows the Respondents true intent and character. Mr. Navneet Khosla has misunderstood the resolve of the Company; the company has abundantly made it clear that it will not bow down to any kind of arm twisting or blackmail by any individual or any authority. SAOL has implicit trust and faith in the Indian judiciary and is willing to stand up for its right and will defend itself under proper legal process and it has clearly shown by now that its resolve is unflinching.

During the course of the hearing Hon. Mr. Justice V. M. Kanade informed the Respondent Mr. Navneet Khosla how he has experienced as a judge, that such matters linger on for long periods and even when the property is seized and bank accounts frozen, in the final analysis the investor does not get their monies any time soon. The Hon. Judge was of the opinion that this could be the reason for the Hon. Supreme Court to have taken this view of appointing the mediation so that a quick resolve could be reached and the monies of all the investors could be secured and paid off expeditiously.

There is a rumor doing the rounds on the internet that the CBDT (Income Tax) has claimed an outstanding of around 115 crores from the company. As far as we know, there is no tax liability of the company. Even if such a claim has been raised, how does it affect us as panelists, I am sure the company knows its business and they would surely have factored all such eventualities in their fund flows. If the dues as claimed by CBDT are in fact enforceable, I am sure the company will not shy away from paying up, on the other hand if the dues are not substantiated the company will contest the same.

As far as my understanding goes and the same is abundantly clear that there is enough money laying on the shores of the country with the company to satisfy the entire liability of the panelists seeking the EXIT OPTION and to satisfy all the government dues if any.

As panelists our agenda is clear and very much focused and that is that the business should start immediately and the EXIT OPTION should be implemented without any further delay.

Speakasians, I wish to share with you that your association has yesterday filed a fresh WRIT against the EOW. This new AISPA writ is for protection of our fundamental right to form and manage the association whose primary objective is to protect and safeguard the interest of all the panelists.

It is our fundamental right to form and manage an association and this is guaranteed to us u/s 19(1) (c) of the Constitution of India. The last couple of times that our president Mr. Melwyn Crasto has appeared before the Investigating Officer all the investigations have been on the functioning of AISPA and on the creation of our website aispa.co.in. Even the notices sent to me u/s 160 have all focused on the investigation about AISPA and the website aispa.co.in. All my Statements to the EOW clearly show and point towards the line of questioning being towards the association.

As the association is in no way concerned with the functioning and or with the affairs of the company and neither has the association been named in any case, there is no case for the investigation to be pointed at the association.

For the last nine months we all have been subjected to various motivated and malicious campaigns by our unknown enemy. Such is the power and reach of this powerful adversary that he has managed to influence the state machinery against us. Unfortunately for the architect of this devious plan he had not factored in the resolve and support of the panelists and this has been the proverbial “Achilles heel” for his otherwise deadly plan, to kill in its infancy a revolutionary business model which is way ahead of its time and has the potential to be the agent of changing the lives of lakhs of Indians. The architect failed to see the backing the panelists would provide to the company and stand united behind the company for such a long period of time.

“Justice delayed, is justice denied” -William Gladstone

We all have read the above quotation on many occasions but probably for the first time have actually felt the real meaning.

We have to hold our collective patience for some more time. Like Mr. Manoj Kumarji says we are not going anywhere except forward. I can sense the forward movement and you also please see that in every matter we always move forward, is that not a victory and a positive in our favor.

Have patience, have faith, trust your company.

Morya… Bhai Morya.

Proud to be Speakasian

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (23 Feb. 2012)

Good Evening Speakasians,

On 21^st February, 2012 the company’s (SAOL) SLP’s 7509 & 7510/2011 in the Hon’ble Supreme Court for quashing of Andhra Pradesh FIR’s were posted for hearing before the Registrar. The matters are now posted for the 27^th February, 2012 before a regular bench.

Yesterday i.e. the 22^nd February, 2012 the WP (criminal) 3210 and 3211 again of the company SAOL for quashing the Raigad and Thane FIR was listed at S. No 68 before the Hon’ble Divisional Bench of the Mumbai High court. The matter did not reach the listing and the board was discharged. The next date in this matter will be known today.

Today the AISPA writ 3611/2011 is listed at S. No 2 and will come up for hearing before the Hon’ble Divisional Bench of the Mumbai High Court. Pertinent to note here is that we have not been served with the Affidavit in Reply which the respondents (EOW & Navneet Khosla) were to file. We can clearly see the intent of the respondents; this is nothing but delaying tactics by the respondents.

Yesterday through the highlight section of aispa.co.in we were pleased to announce that the Company has deposited Rs. 50 crores with the Supreme Court.

We all will be also keenly awaiting the outcome of the next Hon’ble Lahotiji’s Meeting and hope to see the start of the first phase of the EXIT OPTION.

No doubt this EXIT OPTION is an important step in the normalization process, but majority of the panelists are keenly awaiting the restart of the business operations, as most of the panelists are not interested in opting for the EXIT. It has come to our knowledge that many Panelists who had initially opted for the EXIT OPTION are having doubts now in actually making the EXIT, and they have been calling me to ask for the procedure for cancelling their EXIT application.

I have been flooded with phone calls from all over the country asking when the web site will be available for log in and when the restart will actually happen. I only wish to inform my entire family of Speakasians that all this will happen and I remind all of you that no exact dates can be given especially when the matter is in the legal process and so many agencies like the courts, investigating agencies, other monitoring agencies and the mediation process are involved. I only request the entire family to keep the patience that we have collectively shown over the last 9 months and await the final victory which is that of restart of the business activities.

Friends fellow Speakasians many of you have been showing interest to contribute towards the funding of the Association. All Speakasians who wish to contribute towards the Association may deposit their contributions in the following account:

Name of Account: Speakasia Panelist Association of India

Account Number: 003010110006798

Bank Name: Bank of India

Branch: Mahim

Also send details of your contributions along with scanned copy of the pay in slip by E mail to aispa.finance@gmail.com so that proper stamped receipts can be issued to the contributors.

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."-- Henry Ford

Friends, fellow Speakasians we are witnessing history being made here, feel proud that you are part of this process of making history. You are the makers of the future corporate history, you are the proud Speakasian who dared to dream, you had the wisdom to trust and you dared to have faith in your trust. People, who make history and are the agents of change, dare to dream and then live their dream.Morya.

I for one have complete faith and trust on my knowledge, experience and intelligence to trust SAOL implicitly and I will continue to say

Morya… Bhai Morya.

Proud to be Speakasian… actually very proud

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia,

CONGRATULATIONS!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

Good Evening Speakasians,

Everything is moving in a positive direction and today’s mediation meet has been a big positive for us.

As you all know that this mediation process is a closed door mediation process so we all will have to wait and watch. I request everybody not to debate the details of the Mediation process on the internet.

We do not wish to scuttle this process in any manner. ALL IZZ WELL.

I will give further update soon about the AISPA Writ in Mumbai High Court.

Jai Speakasia

Morya…. Bhai Morya

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (11 Feb. 2012)

Good Evening Speakasians,

My last update dated 6^th February, 2012 was based on prima facie information received from the happenings as it was discussed in the court room.

The delay in giving my detailed update was due to the death of my aunty (Chachi) and I was busy with the last rites and the various ceremonies.

Subsequent to the update we have received the detailed order and herein below I attempt to explain the order in detail:

The respondent No 6 as mentioned in the order is EOW.

The EOW has been ordered to provide print out of the details collected to the learned Mediator by 11^th February 2012.

The Hon’ble Mediator has been requested to ascertain how much amount is due and payable by the company’s i.e. SAOL and HVP to the petitioners and the authorities meaning IT (CBDT) and other various authorities.

The Company’s (SAOL & HVP) have been directed to deposit such amount as would be ascertained by the Hon’ble Mediator with the Secretary General of the Supreme Court within two weeks from the date the Hon’ble Mediator passes such an order.

I wish to draw your attention to the starting line of the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s order “in the peculiar facts of the case”. From this I understand that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has looked at the matter in a holistic view and besides taking a legal view the Hon’ble Supreme Court has also taken into consideration the social and financial ramification that this case provides to such a large family of over 12.5 lakh panelists who have joined the company to uplift their lives.

We will recall that the company SAOL along with HVP has submitted an affidavit before the Hon’ble Mediator wherein they were absolutely clear that they wish to bring in $ 10 Million (approx Rs. 50 crores) to settle the claim of the panelists who have opted for the exit option.

It is abundantly clear by the stated stand of the company that this first phase of mediation is to deal with the payments to the panelists who have opted for “EXIT OPTION”.

In light of this I do not understand how the EOW is equipped to provide details of the panelists who have opted for the EXIT OPTION. If the EOW will give details of all the Panelists to the Learned Hon’ble Mediator how the learned Mediator will differentiate between the EXIT OPTIONERS and the rest of the panelists.

If the company is able to differentiate the EXIT OPTIONERS, than in the absence of the WEB SITE, how will the company, actually confirm from these EXIT OPTIONERS, if they actually wish to EXIT and also confirm their accounts and claims.

I suppose that the first thing that the Hon’ble Mediator will do is to direct the EOW to allow access to the WEB SITE to actually and correctly ascertain the amount due and payable to the Panelists who have opted for the EXIT OPTION.

The other issue which raises concern is the request of the Hon’ble Supreme Court to the Hon’ble Mediator to ascertain the amount “due to the petitioners”.

We all know that the emotion and the prayer of the WP/383/2011 relates to the 115 petitioners along with lakhs of similarly placed panelists.

Whenever you are before the law it should be your endeavour to present your case in total clarity and no issue should be left to the mere interpretation by any authority. If the writ, indeed is for the entire Speakasia family then why should it be left in the hands of mere 115 panelists?

The Association is a registered body and is representative of the entire Speakasia panelist, if need arises the Association is ready to intervene in this WP/383/2011 for the proper representation of the entire 12.5 lakh panelists. The intervention of the Association will “Espouse the cause” of the entire Speakasian family. With this intervention I assure the entire Speakasian family that the mediation will cover all 12.5 lakh Speakasians, leaving no room for doubt.

While I am on the question of WP/383/2011 I wish to thank the 97 Panelists from TN who painstakingly worked to make this Vakalatnama movement a huge success. We will not forget the help and support of the Speakasians who worked hard to bring the entire matter to this stage. I once again reiterate that this fight is of the Speakasians, by the Speakasians, for the Speakasians.

I have been horrified and gravely disillusioned at the way the Electronic Media especially Star News have once again raised their ugly heads and gone about reporting this matter in an absolutely wrong manner.

This mischievous intent of Star News is absolutely clear when they without giving any heed to the emotions of lakhs of Speakasians go on falsely reporting the matter. I strongly object to their way of reporting and place on record my severest protest against STAR NEWS.

Yesterday, i.e. on 10^th February, 2012 our old and dear friend Hon’ble justice Mateen Hafeez once again woke up from his slumber and started to hallucinate. I feel sorry for this young man who is at the start of his career and is so disillusioned.

We all know his hidden desire to be a Judge while he in fact is a journalist and now he has embarked on writing fiction and once again fails miserably as he ends up writing a comical article which is absolutely predictable something a good fiction article should not be.

Mr. Hafeez you remind me of the famous dialogue from the epic film SHOLAY. “Hum nahi sudhrenge…hum bhrasht kaal ke journalist hai” (my sincere apologies to Ramesh Sippyji and Asraniji for having twisted his famous dialogue).

It is futile to explain facts to someone who has worn blinkers and is suffering from a jaundiced view but this is one duty I will have to indulge in and trust me Mateen I abhor having to interact with some one of low gravitas.

Mr. Hafeez simple reading of your impugned and mischievous article, besides giving me a headache, shows how utterly ignorant you are of the entire Speakasia matter whether it is due to lack of information or is it because you are mentally challenged is something which we will get to know only in time to come.

I suggest you read this update closely to get some information on the Speakasian matter and yes I once again invite you to a public debate in front of some prominent journalist and legal luminaries to once and for all settle your jaundiced view point.

Mr. Hafeez it is absolutely false to say that the Enforcement Directorate has registered a case against the company under prevention of money laundering Act. I hold you to absolute proof either show us the proof of such a registration of case by ED or issue an apology or be ready to face the legal action by the Association for spreading false rumors. Your ignorance has touched the lowest bottom, Mateen all the authorities have to now appear before the Hon’ble Mediator so your submission that the unnamed officer said that “All the investigating agencies will submit their replies in the supreme Court” is baseless and far from the fact. Do you now understand why I call you mentally challenged?

You go on to end your comical article by saying that the police officials are claiming that they are keeping an eye on those who have been supporting the company through the internet” Mr. Hafeez at the end of today’s update I am going to appeal to the entire Speakasian family to send you an E mail so that you will come to know as to how many people are supporting the company on the internet.

Coming back to the Order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court allow me to summarise the order and the present situation that we Speakasians are in.

We could not have wished for a better first step to normalization of the Speakasian business. Having taken care of the EXIT OPTIONERS we will swiftly move into the phase which will deal with the restart of the Speakasian business.

The SAOL filed WRIT 3210 and 3211 came up for hearing before the Divisional Bench at the Hon’ble Mumbai High Court on 7^th February, 2012. The Hon’ble Court was pleased to order the respondent (State of Maharashtra) to file their Affidavit in reply and was pleased to order that the matter will be disposed at the admission stage. This matter is now posted for 22^nd February, 2012.

I wish to share with all the Speakasians that your Association is now a registered body under the name and style of “Speakasia Panelist Association of India”. Vide registration Number G.B.B.S.D 204/2012 Dated 3^rd February, 2012.

As a result of this registration the Association has applied before the Hon’ble Mumbai High Court for reinstating the Association in the Criminal Writ 3611/2011.

I wish to refresh your collective memory that I have been shown indulgence by the Hon’ble High Court and given relief under this Writ. The Hon’ble high Court was pleased to order deletion of AISPA from this Writ on the grounds that AISPA at that time was not a registered body.

We shall be opening a bank account of the Association and will share the details with all of you shortly. We shall be starting the membership drive shortly; the membership forms will be available on aispa.co.in. The first general body meeting of this Association will be held sometime in the last week of March 2012.

Yesterday our dear friend Aman Azad posted his emotional thought on facebook and I reproduce the same below with some modification for which I have his permission.

“Yes, I am an honest Indian citizen. I have full faith in the Indian Constitution. I have implicit trust in the Indian Judiciary. I am a supporter of Speakasia”

Excellent words Aman Azadji.

I wish to take this emotion a step further and I request my Speakasian family to

A) Send a post card with this emotion to: The Commissioner of Police. Police Commissioner Office, Near Crawford Market. Mumbai and

B) Send this emotion as an E mail to our dear friend Mateen Hafeez at: mateenhafeez@gmail.com and Mateen.hafeez@timesgroup.com

At the end I once again remind the entire Speakasian family that we have always been subjected to the false reporting by the media in general and we should not be perturbed with this anymore.

We should continue to have full faith and trust on the Indian Judiciary which is the only forum from where we will get complete relief and eventually the Speakasia business will restart.

Have patience, Have faith, Trust your company.

Morya…. Bhai Morya

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (28 Jan. 2012)

Good Evening Speakasians,

The last couple of days have been very hectic as there is lot of work being done which in time will be visible to the entire Speakasian family.

The AISPA Writ of the 25th January, 2012 was not heard as the assignments were to change (The Judges are rotated on a regular basis in our courts) and none of the Divisional Benches presided on that day.

The Writ will now be heard by the new Divisional Bench of Hon’ble Mr. Justice. V.M.Kanade and Hon’ble Mr.Justice P.D. Kode on the 16th February, 2012.

As the Speakasia matter has been in controversy for a long time now, people seem to have lost sight of the entire issue and seem to be confused about the factual position. I take leave and try and refresh the entire case from the beginning step by step.

We all know that this entire circus was started by the negative media campaign around 11th May, 2011, which we by now know was motivated and mischievous in nature.

Following this negative and malicious trial by Media, RBI in a knee jerk reaction and without application of mind circulated the impugned circular dated 23rd May, 2011, which resulted in the closing down of the banking channels of the company.

RBI has since written to the company on 14th December, 2011 clarifying their stand and placing on record that they have no problem if SAOL wishes to bring in money to distribute amongst the panelists provided it is done through proper banking channels. This in effect clearly means that the RBI has given its consent to SAOL to bring in the monies and disburse the monies to the panelists.

Sometime around June 2011 an FIR came to be filed in Andhra Pradesh by an NGO going by the name “Corporate Fraud Watch”. The AISPA Writ in the Hon’ble Mumbai High Court, along with other issues, deals with this NGO and tries to expose their malicious intent. SAOL has also filed a SLP (Special Leave Petition) in the Hon’ble Supreme Court for quashing of this Andhra FIR along with yet another FIR which subsequently came to be filed at Hyderabad.

Sometime in the Month of June 2011 an individual by the name Mr. Rajmani Shukla chose to file a criminal PIL in the Hon’ble Mumbai High Court claiming to be a public spirited person. However it later came to light that he had no known background of any worthwhile public service. We all know that this PIL has been dismissed by the Hon. Mumbai High Court.

Pursuant to this PIL the Navneet Khosla FIR came to be filed at Nirmal Nagar Police Station on July 28th 2011 and subsequently transferred to the EOW Mumbai on the same day and is numbered as FIR 60/2011. The investigations being made are u/s 406 (Criminal Breach of Trust), 420 (Cheating), read with Sec. 120 (b) (Criminal conspiracy) of the IPC coupled with section 3, 4 and 6 of the PCMC (B) act of 1978.

10 arrests have been made under this FIR and Mr. Melwyn Crasto has been under custody for the longest duration of 55 days.

The following people have been arrested and released on bail:

1. Mr. Tarak Bajpai

2. Mr. Rajeev Mehrotra.

3. Mr. Ravi Khanna.

4. Mr. Dipankar Sarkar.

5. Mr. Rayees Shaikh.

6. Mr. Rahul Shah.

7. Mr. Nayan Khandoor.

8. Mr. Sanjeev Dandona.

9. Mr. Melwyn Crasto.

10. Mr. Ashish Dandekar.

On close perusal you will realise that only Mr. Tarak Bajpai our inspirational and lion hearted COO and our intellectual and very calm RM., Mr. Ashish Dandekar are the employees of SAOL, all the others are either panelists, Vendors or Business Associates.

Sometime in early August the EOW have taken control of the speakasiaonline website and since then the entire operation of the website has been stalled.

On 13th January, 2012 SAOL has filed a complaint with the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai against people who are tampering with the website which is tantamount to tampering with evidence.

AISPA came into being sometime around 12th/13th August, 2011 and was incorporated on 14th August, 2011.

AISPA for the first time on 16th August, 2011, put across the panelists view point before the Magistrates Court during the Bail application of Mr. Tarak Bajpai.

AISPA filed its PIL before the Mumbai High Court on 22nd August, 2011. This PIL has been since withdrawn on the observation of the Hon’ble Divisional Bench of the Hon. Mumbai High court who had advised such a withdrawal in view of the Hon. Supreme Court having referred the matter to the mediator under the Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.C.Lahotiji.

Around the Last week of August some of the panelists started a vakalatnama campaign resulting in filing the Writ 383/2011 in the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

On close perusal we can see that the vakaltnama’s have come from all over the country. The requirement to get the vakaltnama’s in great numbers was to show “Espouse the Cause”. This was the main reason that a single person did not file the WRIT.

Pursuant to the arrest of our President Mr. Melwyn Crasto, and sensing the danger of a large number of our Panelists being arrested, AISPA filed a criminal Writ 3611/2011 in the Hon. Mumbai High Court. This Writ deals with the following issues:

· It deals with exposing the criminal nexus between the media and the EOW.

· It draws out the role of Ms. Sucheta Dalal of Money Life and Mr. Mateen Hafeez of the Times of India.

· It brings to the attention of the court the atrocities and the high handed working of the EOW.

· It prays for the CBI enquiry into the working of the EOW.

· It prays for the quashing of the Navneet Khosla’s FIR.

· It prays for stopping of coercive action against the panelists.

In a war like situation many flanks are strategically opened and no one flank in the war can say that a particular flank is all important; the situation has to be viewed holistically in its entirety.

We all know that the Hon’ble Supreme Court is the apex court of the country. The result from the Supreme Court will be final, binding and beneficial for all Speakasians.

All the matters be it the company Writ 3210 & 3211/2011 in the hon’ble Mumbai High Court for quashing of the Raigad and Thane FIR’s or the Company’s SLP 7509 & 7510/2011 in the Hon’ble Supreme Court for quashing of the Andhra FIR’s or the AISPA Criminal Writ 3611/2011 against the atrocities of EOW and quashing of the Navneet Khosla FIR in the Mumbai High court, or the Panelists Writ 383/2011 in the Supreme Court--- each have a different and unique objective.

When you fight for a larger cause you cannot claim proprietary of the fight. You fight for a cause in an absolutely unselfish way without any personal gratification. It will be seen as loss of perspective, and is very dangerous, if a group or an individual starts staking claim on any movement. This is a fight of the Speakasians, by the Speakasians, for the Speakasians.

AISPA or any individual have no right to claim any credit for this thereby insulting the sensibilities of the entire Speakasian family.

What saddens me is the rumour mongering doing the rounds on various forums. The quest for personal gain has become so intense that those involved in such rumour mongering do not hesitate to take shelter in falsehood, misrepresentation and suppression of facts. Those who attempt to pollute the fight of Speakasians or touch the pure fountain of the Speakasian spirit with tainted hands cannot be true Speakasians.

All of us are potential victims of rumors, including false and vicious ones. Rumors are nearly as old as human history, in the era of the Internet; it has become easy to spread false or misleading rumors about almost anyone.

I urge my Speakasian family to see through this mischief and remain united and unaffected by such malicious rumour mongering. We have maintained a very high standard of integrity and decorum in our entire journey together, and it would be sad if a few people are allowed to pollute the pristine atmosphere at the eleventh hour.

What needs to be paid attention to is that in every court hearing which takes place the matter moves positively in our favour. That these hearings are far in between cannot be helped as this is a normal irritant in our judicial system, and that is what i have been advocating since the beginning that we all need to remain patient.
