Subject:
Annual General Meeting, agenda of the AGM and free and fair election of the office
bearers and Managing Committee.
Reference:
Your letter dated 16/5/2012.
Dear Sir,
With reference to your above mentioned
letter dated 16/5/2012 in response to my notice/letter dated 28/4/2012 and
10/5/2012.
I am not shocked and surprised to
see the content of your reply because it is your corrupt practice to vague reply
on other issues and avoiding replying our main issues. It is pertinent to note that in the year 2008,
one union member Mr. Shiv Adhar Yadav had also demanded the same issue raised
by me and other taximen / members but after adopting the corrupt practices you
had expel him from the union.
You are very well aware that your
election since 1993 till date is illegal and all the amendments made in the union
constitutions are null and void because since 1993 up to 2007 you declared
elected on two positions of the office bearers i.e. the General Secretary and
Treasurer so that you should get the right to sign the cheque and manipulate
the accounts according to your whim and wish.
It is against the law.
It is further pertinent to note
that in the year 2008, you become the election officer and also the contestant
for the post of General Secretary which is also against the law.
It is further pertinent to note
that myself and other union members wanted to know about the assets of the
union and the companies mentioned below :-
1.
Taximen Services Limited
2.
Taximen Enterprises
3.
Taximen Finance and Lease Limited
4.
Taximen welfare Society Limited
5.
Airport Taximen Welfare Trust &
others
If you and your conscious are
clear then clear your position that above 5 companies / trust / societies are
the property of the union or your personal family companies etc.
If you are the well wisher of the
taximen and the union then declare your assets because you are the leader of
the union since three decades.
Instead of giving any reply about
the above mentioned issues you had suspended end number of union members and stop
to renew the membership of the existing members and also stop enrolling new
members for your personal motives and gain.
I would also like to draw your attention
that our founder president Mr. George Fernandes is not well and he has not
visited Mumbai since long. I would further like to say that Mr.
George Fernandes has not attending any AGM or participating in any office
bearers election for the position of the
president of the union since decades and no question arise that he has signed
any nomination papers till date. It is true
that Mr. George Fernandes elected as a member of Rajya Sabha in July 2009 but
every union member including you also know he has not attending any AGM or
contesting the election for the last few decades. We put you on strict
documentary proof and if you have then furnish the same to me under the
intimation to the registrar of trade union office.
Para
wise reply of your letter dated 16/5/2012
Para
No. 1: No need to
reply
Para
No. 2: Your all
the allegations and claims are baseless and far away from the fact. You are intentionally using the delay tactics
to reply/date about the forthcoming AGM and the election. I sent the true copy
of the signatures of the members and you and your people indulged and
approached some of the members and by force you had taken the signature on one
draft letter and they are not aware that what you had written in English language
and also busy to create rumors after distributing the handbills in which you
claim that all the demands and the allegations are illegal and no support of
the bye-law of the union but you are not ready to declare the date and venue of
the forthcoming AGM and election till date.
It is pertinent to note that you are giving a reply on the allegations
on you under the shelter of illiterate poor taximen. It proves that how you are playing with the
taximen and taxi trade since decades for your own motives and gains.
Para
No. 3: I am very
much aware about the AGM dated 30/8/2008 and also aware that how you and your
own hundreds of people conduct the AGM and the election. It is pertinent to note that you had amended
the constitution for your own motives but I had already explained about how
your AGM and election in 2008 was illegal and there is no question that those
amendments are lawful.
It is further pertinent to note that
now you claim the union has only 26000 members but earlier our union had around
40,000 members. I say that when the AGM
and the election required only 300 to 400 members and you had amended the
bye-laws of the union that 1/5th members of the union has right to
call the AGM then why you have not
amended the corum to elect and amendment in the bye-laws of the union.
Para
No. 4: in regard
to our founder President Mr. George Fernandes’s visit to Mumbai and filing or
sign any nomination papers to contest the election for the position of the
president. It is pertinent to not that I
had already explained in the Para mentioned which is self explanatory. It is further pertinent to note that you and
your associates particularly your relative Mr. Fedric D’sa are misusing and
exploiting the name of our founder president Mr. George Fernandes for your
personal motive.
Hence, I again request you to
please clear your position on the issues raised by me and other union members
without any further delay and also let us know the date of the AGM and the venue
if you are going to call the AGM, within one week from the receipt of this
letter / reply failing which I / we have no option but to call the AGM through
public notice in the newspaper which please note.
Your all the replies / actions
are vague and against the law and not maintainable in any court of law, which also
please note.
Yours faithfully,
