He was at the same time a novelist, a short story writer, an essayist, a critic, a dramatist, a poet, an historian and a reportage writer. He could possibly do all this in such a short time period because whatever he had to do, it was on his own and it did not involve one or more Government departments. Or otherwise, his situation might have become similar to that of the title of one of his famous novels Kab tak pukaroon (How Long Do I Call). Rangeya Raghav had to think by himself and had the liberty to express and implement them on his own. Possibly the same would not have been the case with a public office which seem to be having their own methodologies and speed and rules of operation.

Having entered the field of judicial reforms along with transparency and accountability in governance, we often have to face this very serious issue. When we present a matter before the Hon’ble Court, the Court often directs the concerned respondents to file their counter affidavits or their replies. Very often this reply has to be given within a fixed time period. The reply is asked so that the State’s position could be understood by the Court and then it can arrive at a definite decision, As is possibly quite well known, Audi alteram partem, the Latin phrase that literally means "hear [audi] the other side too” is the legal principle that no person should be judged without a fair hearing in which each party is given the opportunity to respond to the evidence against them.

The executions were conducted within a few days of the President's decision to reject the mercy petitions in both cases. Now both the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the President's Secretariat (Prez. Sectt.) have rejected all my requests for information regarding the disposal of these mercy petitions. I apologise for the late reporting of these developments which took place in March-April 2013. As mentioned in my last email I was hospitalized due to ill-health and could not open the envelopes that came from these public authorities in response to my requests.

I present this matter in the form of a long narration, which many may find boring, many may find worthless and many may find foolish. I would have no grudge against any such opinion. Let us all have the freedom to have our own view points, opinions, ways of living and thought process. But I know for sure that this was the only way that I could have acted.
