REJOINDER ISSUED BY MR ABHISHEK VERMA ON 24th OCTOBER 2016

Who is C.Edmonds Allen and what is his interest in Indias national
security? Is he acting on behalf of a foreign government? Why he is so
interested in stirring a controversy every few months in India and
destabilize the procurement process of Ministry of Defence by putting a
spanner in the wheels of procurement & modernization process of the
Indian Armed Forces claiming irregularities. Who is paying Allen to
hire expensive lawyers in India and to fuel a campaign for half a decade
against Abhishek Verma, his family & friends. How can Allen (and also
media/press running such malicious stories) simply looking at the girls
in the photos and claim that they were escorts? Do these girls have a tag
around their neck stating that Escorts? Character assassination is a
punishable offence in India as well as other countries.
It is further stated that no such photos or documents were found in
possession of Abhishek Verma or his associates/friends after scrutiny of
material and harddisks seized in raids conducted on 7th June 2012 a
day prior to his arrest by the AC-1 unit of CBI. This can be validated
from the seizure memos in possession with Abhishek Vermas lawyers
and maybe inspected by the press/media with a days notice.

It claims that the breach in national security had reached

the Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Defence, as
one of the then members of this committee (a BJP MP) was
compromised by these middlemen with the help of foreign
women Escorts;

Navy War Room Leak is one of the major scandals

involving breach of highly sensitive defence information. It
was detected in May 2005. Several intelligence agencies of
the Government including the Intelligence Bureau
investigated the said leakage of information through lost
pen drive of a naval officer. In the course of investigations,
these agencies had recovered a large number of e-mails,
telephone records, business cards etc. from the computers
of persons involved in the said Leak. It was also learnt that
part of the information, which was stored in that pen drive,
dealt with Project 75 i.e. the navys submarine acquisition

Copy of the letter dated 25.08.2016 of Edmonds Allen along

with its enclosures is being annexed hereto as Annexure B.

Why Allen was not charged under Official Secret Act for distribution
confidential information to the press/media and to Mr Prashant
Bhushan & Yogendra Yadav? How do we know that he didnt sold for a
huge profit this information to any enemy of India. Since last 4.5 years
Allen is in possession of these secret documents and has been
distributing this information to press/media instead of only addressing
such sensitive matters only with law enforcement agencies in India who
can investigate the matter.
Allen has interest only to sensationalize issues against Abhishek Verma
with whom he is having a financial dispute and Abhishek Verma has
sued him for Rs.55 crores prior to his arrest on 2nd June 2012. The case
is subjudice before Metropolitan Magistrate in Patiala Hosue Courts.
Case number is: CC/33/1B and the next date in this case is the 5th of
November 2016. Allen in his email to the newspapers/media on
22/10/2016 has feigned ignorance about this case, whereas he has been
writing letters to the Honble Magistrate incharge of this case. Copy of
one such letter is attached with this rejoinder in the last section/page

and Uttar Pradesh elections are round the corner, suddenly the internet

alongwith Abhishek Verma are circulated by Allen.
On 20th October & on 22nd October 2016 Mr.Varun Gandhi issued a
statement to the press/media that he was never blackmailed nor
honeytrapped by Abhishek Verma.
Abhishek Verma also stated to India Today TV that he never indulged in
such unethical activity however, Allen continues to maintain that
Mr.Varun Gandhi was honeytrapped & blackmailed by Abhishek
Verma. Does Allen know more about this subject who himself states in
his press releases that he met Abhishek Verma only twice in his life?

REJOINDER ISSUED BY MR ABHISHEK VERMA ON 24th OCTOBER 2016

For the record, no parliamentary papers or information were provided
ever by Mr Varun Gandhi to Abhishek Verma or any of the associates of
the latter. No blackmail or honeytrap ever took place and the
allegations of Allen / Prashant Bhushan & Yogendra Yadav are false
and bereft of any merit. I shall be filing a case of criminal defamation,
pornography, indecent representation, Information Technology Act as
well as forgery and conspiracy against Allen, Prashant Bhushan,
Yogendra Yadav and other media houses who published/aired such
content/photos. The suit is under preparation and might be filed before
Diwali holidays of Court, or just after the holidays in the first week of
November 2016 in Delhi since that is the jurisdiction of my residence.

In reference to the above, Air Marshall (retd) Harish Masand was
examined by the CBI in case number RC-AC1-2012-A0012 on 9th April
2014 in CBI HQ by I.O. Rajesh Solanki. This statement was annexed in
the supplementary chargesheet filed by CBI against Abhishek Verma in
2015 in the trial court.

REJOINDER ISSUED BY MR ABHISHEK VERMA ON 24th OCTOBER 2016

NOWHERE in the said statement dated 9th April 2014 which was almost
9 months after Allens complaint of honeytrapping Harish Masand, did
the so-called victim Harish Masand complain to the CBI I.O. that
Abhishek Verma ever tried to blackmail / honeytrap him.
Statement of Harish Masand which forms a part of the abovementioned
chargesheet is enclosed.

Annexure-R3

Prashant Bhushans claim that C.Edmonds Allen is a whistleblower and had exposed a big political-arms dealers nexus
and corruption rotting the Indian arms procurement system.

C.Edmonds Allen is the 100% owner and shareholder of Ganton Limited

USA, as per his Income Tax declarations and statements before CBI /
ED as well as bank account opening forms submitted to ABN AMRO
New Delhi.
When he was the owner and beneficiary of Ganton Limited USA which
received several remittances from international arms companies and all
the agreements for consulting were signed by Allen for over a decade.
These agreements and documents are annexed to the chargesheet
number RC-AC1-2012-A0009 & 0012 being tried in the CBI Courts,
Delhi. Copies of these documents can be made available at request to the
press/media.
When a person is the ultimate beneficiary (as per his own signed
declaration made before banks & Income Tax Dept in USA) then he
cannot not claim that he was fronting Abhishek Verma in Ganton

Limited USA for 15 years and launched his complaints only when there
was a financial dispute in a real-estate transaction.
Three applications u/s 319 CrPC to include Allen as an accused in CBI
cases numbers: RC-AC1-2012-0009 and 0011 are pending before Delhi
High Court {WP Crl MC 5031/2014 & 4774/2014} and application for
case RC-AC1-2012-A0012 is pending before the concerned trial court in
Tis Hazari for disposal.
Why is the media giving undue importance to Allen who has two cases
pending against him in Delhi Court of Magistrate Dr.Pankaj Sharma,
Patiala House Courts, New Delhi which are for criminal defamation
{CC-101/A} and a case {CC/33/1B} of criminal breach of trust, forgery,
and cheating filed by Abhishek Verma, much before his arrest in 2012.
Allen sent troves of documents to the CBI/ED in 2012 as per Prashant
Bhushan to launch cases against Abhishek Verma. However, when the
concerned CBI court of Ld.ASJ Mrs Anju Bajaj Chandna sent Allen
summons to appear before it on 12th July 2016 to tender his testimony
on oath, Allen sent a letter reply on 2nd July 2016 to the Honble Court
that he would not fly to India to depose. Allen also stated in the same
letter (page 2, para {c}) that he never tendered any statement to the CBI
u/s 161 or 164 IPC nor that he was listed as a witness in any of the three
of the CBI chargesheets till date against Abhishek Verma. He further
stated that, It is also strange when I have not given any statement to
the CBI how can I be cross examined by the defence and this seems to be
a ploy of Abhishek Verma to harass me!
Allen is not just wasting the time of Indian newschannels and taxpayers
money by sending the investigators on a wild-goose chase, but also
disrespecting the Indian Judiciary.
Court certified copy of Allens letter to the Honble Courts dated 2nd July
2016 is attached wherein he has refused to travel to India to depose
citing that he is sick and medical condition doesnt allow him to travel to
11

REJOINDER ISSUED BY MR ABHISHEK VERMA ON 24th OCTOBER 2016

India. Till date Allen has not sent his medical documents of his so called
medical ailments to the courts. He is hiding behind his so called medical
condition in order to evade the judicial process of India.

Annexure-R4
I appeal to the press/media to stop participating in character
assassination campaign run by Allen and others, by using derogatory
language in your stories when you refer to me as notorious arms
dealer, blackmailer etc as you by the virtue of printing/airing such
language, you are exposing yourself & your organization to libel and
defamation for which criminal and civil suits would be initiated by my
legal team going forward. There are so many politicians, industrialists,
businessmen who have cases, including some charged for murder &
rape, but no one refers to them as rapists or murderers.
Furthermore, I was never convicted in any case, therefore, use of
derogatory language such as the above is unfair.

This petition by way of Public Interest Litigation was filed on

26.04.2006 with the following prayers:

(a) order a thorough court monitored investigation by
the CBI or by a Special Investigation Group, constituted
by this Honble Court, in the involvement of
unauthorized middlemen/commission agents in the
Scorpene submarine procurement deal and payment of
commission/bribes, and if such allegations are found
correct, pass further consequential and necessary
directions, including prosecution of the persons found
involved;

W.P.(C) No.6426/2006

Page 1 of 4

ANNEXURE-R1

(b) direct the Respondents to identify the officials

guilty of serious dereliction of duty in not taking timely
and appropriate action to check the involvement of
middlemen/commission agents and payment of
commission/bribes in the Scorpene deal despite
knowledge and to take appropriate disciplinary and penal
action against them;
2.

On the basis of certain investigative reports published in weekly news

magazine Outlook in its edition of 20.02.2006 and 27.02.2006, it is

alleged in the writ petition that the agreement by respondent No.1 and 2 with
the French Government and Thales (a French Company) on 07.10.2005 to
procure the Scorpene submarines is actuated with mala fides and extraneous
considerations and that the same needs to be thoroughly investigated.
3.

The allegations in the petition included that the respondent Nos.1 and

2 went ahead with the deal despite having knowledge about the involvement
of middlemen as pointed out by the Central Vigilance Commission and the
CVO of Ministry of Defence way back in 2002; though CVC in its report
had informed the respondent No.1 that one of the companies involved in the
deal, namely, DCNI (the manufacturer of Scorpene submarines) was
blacklisted by the CVO of Ministry of Defence, the respondent Nos.1 and 2
went ahead and signed the deal; four months after the signing of the deal,
though it was exposed by a respectable news magazine about the
involvement of the middlemen and payment of huge commission/bribes, the
respondent No.1 failed to take any steps to review the deal and order an
investigation but merely ordered an inquiry by CBI against some of the
Naval Officers into the issue of the leak of classified information of the
Navy which led to the exposure of the involvement of the middlemen in the
Scorpene deal.
W.P.(C) No.6426/2006

Page 2 of 4

ANNEXURE-R1

4.

It is pleaded in the writ petition that for ascertaining and gathering all

facts into the alleged high-level corruption in the Defence deals, the
intervention by this court is essential to order a complete investigation under
its direct supervision by CBI or any other independent investigating agency.
5.

On 06.12.2006, a status report with regard to the investigation

conducted by CBI into the allegation of Navy War Room Leak was filed
in a sealed cover by the learned ASG appearing fro the respondents. On
17.12.2007, it was brought to the notice of this court by the learned ASG
that on receipt of the complaint from the petitioner dated 03.03.2006 (filed
in this petition as Annexure-P23), CBI had instituted a Preliminary Enquiry.
6.

Thereafter on 25.07.2008, a copy of the report of the Preliminary

Enquiry by CBI was filed in this court in two sealed covers.

7.

Though the learned counsel for the petitioner made a request to

furnish a copy of the said report to him, it is opposed by the learned counsel
for the CBI claiming privilege on the ground that it has received replies from
the National Central Bureau of United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland
with the condition that the information supplied by them should not be
shared by private parties.
8.

Having perused the Preliminary Enquiry Report, we are of the view

that there is substance in the objection raised by the respondents for

furnishing a copy of the Preliminary Enquiry Report to the petitioner.
Hence, the request of the learned Counsel for the petitioner to furnish a copy
of the report cannot be acceded to.
9.

We have carefully gone through the Preliminary Enquiry Report. We

found that it is concluded in the Report that in view of the inquiries made
with the Ministry of Defence and in the light of the discussion of various
W.P.(C) No.6426/2006

Page 3 of 4

ANNEXURE-R1

aspects mentioned therein the allegations regarding irregularities in

processing of Scorpene deal are not established and the material available is
not sufficient for registering a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act
1988.
10.

In the light of the said Report, the relief as prayed for cannot be

granted.
11.

Writ petition is accordingly dismissed.

12.

The report of the CBI filed in this Court in sealed cover be returned to

Ms.Sonia Mathur, the learned counsel for CBI.
