K S Radhakrishnan
I am a 78-year-old war veteran who served the nation during the 1971 war. I write not merely as an individual litigant, but as a whistle-blower and a citizen deeply concerned about the erosion of constitutional values. On November 10, 2025, I submitted a detailed complaint to the Central Bureau of Investigation, Anti-Corruption Branch, Chennai, which was received by the office on November 12. What I seek is not personal favour, but institutional accountability rooted in the Constitution of India.
My complaint raises vital constitutional issues, particularly concerning Article 51A, which outlines the fundamental duties of citizens, including loyalty to the nation, promotion of harmony, and development of scientific temper. It also invokes the spirit of Article 37, which mandates that the Directive Principles of State Policy are fundamental to the governance of the country. It remains a mystery to me how higher judicial forums entertained what I believe to be fraudulent counter-submissions by the respondent, ONGC, thereby undermining these constitutional provisions.
Citizens approach the judiciary with faith, hoping for relief based on law and fairness. However, I believe the justice delivery system must introspect when powerful public-sector entities are allowed to prevail through procedural and financial dominance. As a veteran, I cannot ignore the parallel reality faced by police personnel and men in uniform, who work tirelessly to maintain law and order, often at great personal risk. Their everyday challenges deserve greater empathy within the justice system they serve.
I apprehend that pursuing a review petition before five senior judges of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India is beyond my reach. My advanced age, health constraints, and limited financial resources make such a course practically impossible. In contrast, the respondent, a public-sector undertaking, can engage highly paid advocates using public funds, thereby defeating the very spirit of constitutional equality under Articles 51A(d) and 51A(h), and diluting the moral force of Article 37.
It is for this reason that I have approached the CBI, requesting that my complaint be registered as an FIR. I also seek guidance from constitutional authorities, including the Hon’ble Ministers of Defence and Home Affairs, and the Hon’ble Judges of the Supreme Court of India. Such intervention, I believe, is essential to uphold constitutional morality and restore faith in institutions.
At this stage of my life, I wish to devote my remaining energy to constructive national causes. I aspire to act as a catalyst for innovation and incubation across sciences and technologies, contributing to employment generation, pollution control, and the prevention of anti-national activities. I firmly believe that guiding the youth towards constructive pursuits is essential for making Bharat a Vishwaguru.
I respectfully request the early issuance of a case number for my complaint. Timely action will not only address my grievance but reaffirm the Constitution’s promise to every citizen, regardless of age, status, or means.
