Dear All, Many thanks for the message.
Chetan, I hope you know that a number of Public Interest Litigations (PILs) have already been filed in the Supreme Court praying for a number of reliefs. And the SC has very clearly said no to more PILs on Gujarat. Only last week, when an Intervention application was listed before the vacation court, the relief asked for (namely that the relief camps are not closed, as contemplated by the Modi govt.) was denied and the petitioners asked to go to the Gujarat HC. The IAa will now be taken up with the main petitions, whenever they come up (and we think that's only when the SC opens after vacations in July!!!). What we could do is look into all the PILs and consolidate the efforts. Chetan, you could contact PUDR who are one of the petitioners. We too are looking into all the petitions and chalking out strategies and interventions. Do keep in touch.

I will be happy to lend our name to the PIL if Leena you & your forum are willing to shoulder the burden of fighting these crooks in the courts.<< ***End-violence is sponsored by UNIFEM and receives generous support from ICAP*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
