Vide Crl.M.No.1543/1999, 1800/1999, 2214/1999, 4228/1999, 4695/1999, 7640/1999, 9586/1999, 11374/1999, 1761/2000, 1762/2000, 46/2001, 53/2001, 612/2001 and 5642/2004, he inter-alia, names Sh.Inder Kumar Gujral, Ms.Sonia Gandhi, Ms.Rabri Devi, Sh.Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sh.Pramod Mahajan, Sh.L.K.Advani, Sh.Arun Jaitley, Sh.S.Jaipal Reddy, Sh.K.Natwar Singh, Sh.Madan Lal Khurana, Ms.Uma Bharti and Dr.Shankar Dayal Sharma (the Ex-President of India) all of whom were known public figures or Chief Ministers, Ministers as also the President of India at the relevant period of time when the applications were filed. He also names in these applications various police officers in Delhi and one judicial officer.

27. From the pleadings and the arguments of Sh.Uma Shankar Pandey we find that when the writ petition was filed in late 1997 the persons targeted were the then Union Minister for Home Affairs and the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting. Persons named thereafter between the years 1998 and 2004 are Ms.Sushma Swaraj, Sh.L.K.Advani, Sh.Madan Lal Khurana, Ms.Uma Bharti, Sh.Arun Jaitley, Sh.Pramod Mahajan. Thereafter the applications filed in the year 2005 onwards we find the focus of accusations shifting to Sh.Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sh.Shiv Raj Patil, Sh.P.Chidambaram, Ms.Sonia Gandhi, Sh.Pranab Mukherjee and Dr.Manmohan Singh when the Congress led government was formed in the Centre on May 22, 2004, all of whom except Ms.Sonia Gandhi were either the Prime Minister or Ministers in the Union Cabinet and Ms.Sonia Gandhi was the President of the Congress party.

48. We have already noted the relevant facts with reference to the names of the person who Sh.Uma Shankar Pandey has targets. His tirade commences in late 1997 when as per him Sh.O.P.Kejariwal the Director of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library allowed him to store his belongings in a room in Teen Murti Complex but threw him out and stole his research material. At that time the Government in the Centre was headed by Sh.I.K.Gujral. Sh.Indrajit Gupta was the Union Home Minister and Sh.S.Jaipal Reddy was the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting. Sh.O.P.Kejariwal had joined Nehru Memorial Museum and Library after having served in the Doordarshan as the CEO of Prasar Bharti under the administrative control of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. This explains him targeting the two Ministers pertaining to his personal dispute which he had, if at all, with Sh.O.P.Kejariwal. The Government led by Sh.Atal Bihari Vajpayee took over on March 19, 1998 and lasted till May 22, 2004. Applications filed by him during this period target the then Union Minister for Home Sh.L.K.Advani, Ms.Sushma Swaraj the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Sh.Arun Jaitley, the Union Minister for Law and Justice, Ms.Uma Bharti, a Member of Parliament of the BJP but prominently in the news. Sh.Soli J.Sorabjee, the Attorney General and Sh.Madan Lal Khurana, the Chief Minister of Delhi. The applications filed by him post June, 2004 till date consistently target Ms.Sonia Gandhi, the President of Indian National Congress, Dr.Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India, Sh.Shivraj Patil and Sh.P.Chitambaram who were the Union Ministers of Home from May, 2004 to November, 2008 and November, 2008 till July, 2012 respectively. He also targets Sh.Pranab Mukherjee. His fixation against all those who have held office of the Union Minister for Home is writ large. During arguments he repeatedly wanted this Court to allot him a suite in Western Court, Janpath and preferably Suite No.6 or 7. It is not strange that as pleaded by him in the writ petition he has pleaded that the said suites were unauthorizedly occupied by Sh.Indrajit Gupta.
