NOTICE
To,
Dr. V K Saraswat,
SA to RM and DGR&D,
DRDO, Ministry of Defence,
DRDO Bhavan,
New Delhi – 110 105.
Respected Sir,
Under instructions from my client, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware, (Ex-TO`B`, HEMRL, Pune), R/at: A–11, Vijayraj Sankul, Near Medipoint Hospital, Aundh-Baner, D.P. Road, Pune–411 007, I hereby, give you the notice as under:-
- 1. My client was illegally suspended by Dr. Arun Kumar, the DoP on 24.08.2009 and now he has been illegally dismissed from service by Abhinavjeet Ojha, the Dy. DoP on 30.12.2010. From suspension to dismissal, the unauthorized persons from the office of Directorate of Personnel, in furtherance of their common intention to harass my client, have committed an offence under sections 167 and 170 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code. My client has given a notice to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence under section 197 of Code of Criminal Procedure with its copy to you.
- 2. My client had sent an ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Director of Personnel but instead of giving justice, the Directorate of Personnel, illegally suspended and ultimately, illegally dismissed my client. My client has informed you, time and again, about all the illegal acts committed by the unauthorized officers from Directorate of Personnel.
…2
-2-
- 3. As you are the Director General of DRDO, my client made various appeals to you for looking into the matter personally and for giving justice to him. You are the Appointing Authority of my client and as per Article 311 of the Constitution; a Civil servant cannot be dismissed or removed by an authority subordinate to that by which he was appointed.
You are the only Disciplinary Authority of my client. But the officers subordinate to you and who are, not at all, the disciplinary authorities of my client, have suspended and dismissed my client.
Everything has been done to your exclusion. When the disciplinary authority is being excluded from the disciplinary action, it is evidently clear that the CCS (CCA) Rules and Article 311 of the Constitution have been blatantly flouted by these unauthorized officers.
- 4. Though my client has reported you every injustice done to him, you have neither taken any cognizance of his grievances nor taken any action against the erring officers. With the prior notice to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence, my client has filed a Regular Criminal Complaint No.1198/2011 in the Court of Hon’ble J.M.F.C., Pune under sections 167, 170 and 34 of Indian Penal Code.
- 5. Hon’ble Court has taken cognizance of my client’s complaint but you did not bother to take any action against the erring officers, in spite of repeated reminders by my client. It clearly means that you are protecting the accused for their criminal and offensive acts. Your inaction amounts to your tacit consent to the criminal acts of your subordinates. Under section 34 of I.P.C. you are equally liable for the criminal acts of your subordinates committed under sections 167 and 170 of I.P.C.
…3
-3-
- 6. As the Director General, the ultimate responsibility of this case lies with you. You are responsible for the acts of your subordinates. Though my client has been illegally and brutally dismissed from the service and though he has informed you time and again, you have remained silent and inactive. You are watching the whole phenomenon as a silent and unattached spectator. My client has been dismissed from the service due to your impotent neutrality.
- 7. You are directly responsible for the lawlessness in DRDO and for the civil wrongs committed by your subordinates. It is your vicarious liability. My client wants to compensate his harassment, mental agony and actual losses he suffered. My client wants a total compensation of Rs.25, 00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Lac only) from you. You can be prosecuted under sections 167, 170 read with 34 of I.P.C.
You are advised to revoke the illegal penalty orders issued by your subordinates immediately and to arrange to join my client in the service of HEMRL, DRDO. Your DoP had issued suspension order of my client by fax. You should, now, issue joining order of my client by fax. If you fail to issue joining order of my client within 10 days from the receipt of this notice, my client will have to initiate Civil as well as Criminal action against you.
This is the notice.

Respected Sir,
Under instructions from my client, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware, R/at: A–11, Vijayraj Sankul, Near Medipoint Hospital, D.P. Road, Aundh, Pune–411007, I hereby, give you the notice as under:-
My client was working as Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune – 411021. He was a Gazetted Group ‘A’ Officer and his Disciplinary Authority was Director General Research and Development (DGR&D), DRDO.
My client has a spotlessly clean record of 25 years’ service in HEMRL, DRDO. Still the officers of Directorate of Personnel have illegally suspended and dismissed him.
- 1. Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, without having any authority suspended my client under Rule 10 (1) of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 on 24.08.2009. Only DGR&D can issue such order. Dr. Arun Kumar very well knows that he is not a Disciplinary Authority of my client or is not specially empowered by the President in that behalf.
He has admitted the fact in his deposition before Inquiry Officer on 08.06.2010. He knew and believed it to be incorrect to sign the suspension order of my client. Still with the sole intention of causing injury to my client he has signed the suspension order of my client.
He has pretended to hold an Authority to suspend my client and in such assumed character he has suspended my client.
- 2. V P Pande, the Associate Director of Personnel has issued Memorandum under Rule 14 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 on 03.09.2009 and issued order for appointment of Inquiry Officer. Only DGR&D can issue such order.
- 3. I B Arora, the Joint Director of Personnel issued order for grant of subsistence allowance to my client on 19.11.2009. By Rule, only DGR&D can issue such order.
- 4. B B Sharma, the Joint Director of Personnel issued Memorandum under Rule 14 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 to my client on 07.10.2009. he issued appointment order of Inquiry Officer and Presenting Officer on 25.11.2009. By Rule, only DGR&D can issue such orders.
- 5. S B Yadav, the Deputy Director of Personnel issued Penalty Order to my client under Rule 11(ii) of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 on 08.12.2010. Only DGR&D can issue such order.
- 6. Abhinavjeet Ojha, the Deputy Director of Personnel issued Penalty (Dismissal) Order under Rule 11(ix) of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 on 30.12.2010. Only DGR&D can issue such order.
When Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director himself specifically admits that he is not a Disciplinary Authority of my client, no question of Associate Director, Deputy Director or Joint Director having any disciplinary authority over my client arises at all.
Moreover there are no such posts as Associate Director, Deputy Director, joint Director, Assistant Director or Additional Director in DRDO. No Gazette Notification to that effect is available in DRDO. It has been admitted by Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) in his letter No. DIITM/02/2091/P/2010 dated 20.05.2010.
…3
-3-
Thus the Director and all these so-called Associate, Deputy and Joint Directors from the Directorate of Personnel have committed offence under Sections 167 and 170 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code. They have committed the offence in the discharge of their official duties. The only intention of these officers was to cause injury to my client. They have jointly done it in furtherance of their common intention to cause injury to my client. All these officers are from the same office i.e. Directorate of Personnel, DRDO.
All these officers have used DGR&D’s exclusive powers to the exclusion of DGR&D himself.
My client wants to prosecute all these accused. You are requested to give your sanction to prosecute them, within 30 days from the receipt of this notice. If you fail to reply, it will be presumed that you have given your sanction and prosecution will be instituted.

Top Brains to Assist DRDO
25th April 2011
Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning
I happen to see a news clip from HT correspondent “Top brains to assist DRDO” Dr W Selvamurthy said that DRDO need active participations of academic institutions to get involved in developing cutting edge technology to be used in the country’s defence.
I remember this statement was given by Dr.V S Arunachalam when he gave call for private/public participation in Missile program (IGMDP) which culminate in to the participation of 400 individuals/private/public agencies including national laboratories, education intuitions in developing Prithvi / Agni missiles. After the success of the entire country celebrates as Prithvi / Agni was nation’s pride.
What happened afterwards, did anybody examine the reasons, why the knowledge bank is not coming forward with new products? With the success of Prithvi / Agni the so called stalwarts able to divert maximum funds to institutions without realizing that they will never help in developing the cutting edge technology. The projects submitted by sincere faculties of famous institutions were sidelined and the recommendation were given to relatives/friends owned private institutions as an example SASTRA University, Thanjavur has submitted 34 projects proposal under the patronage of Dr. W Selvamurthy, CC R&D (LS & HR) & DS for sanction by DRDO Hqrs under various scheme. Out of 34, 14 projects have already been sanctioned. Deemed UniversitySASTRA is owned by Prof. R Sethuraman, VC, a close friend of Dr. W Selvamurthy.
In university the education system is such that it prepares the movement of knowledge in one dimension.
In R&D the knowledge base transform itself in two dimensions that is the science is converted to applied science or technology development.
In the industry all developments are with end objectives of PRODUCTS. The product development addresses very minutely the issue of financial growth and hence it added third dimension. Country’s economic development requires export of products.
Sir, very sincerely if you think the end objectives that are development of import substitute to be use in to country’s defence. You have to definitely stop immediatelycorruption and nepotism prevailing in DRDO.
Thanking you

Find the Anna Hazare in You
19th April 2011
Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning
All of us have witnessed an undercurrent agitation against corruption and nepotisms, when Anna Hazare sat on hunger strike at Jantar Mantar. Anna Hazare represents the common people of republic of India as depicted in the cartoons by R K Laxman.
There is a similarity in agitations headed by Gandhi Ji, Jay Parkash Narayan , Anna Hazare, prior to Gandhi Ji Sh Gopal Krishana Gokhale , Sh Aurobindo and even before then in 1857 Jhanshi Ki Rani, Tatya Tope, Bahadur Shah Zaffer ( Last Mogul Emperor), Mangal Pande they all agitate with a well known defined cause that is “Growing negligence of the common man” by then rulers.
Gandhi Ji had a lavish life style until he was thrown out from first class compartment by whites at Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Sh. Jay Parkash Narayan was declared activist like Sh Yogendra Shukla, Bhagat Singh, Shukhdev, Rajguru as he belong to affluent class had no problem in leading luxurious life but his consciousness did not permit him to remain quiet and left his home to fight against British rule particularly the movement of West Champaran, which was joined by Gandhi Ji at later stage.
Pro government reporter and anti government reporter of media may have different arguments but once they are removed from their service or they resign for better option they represents the common mass and start facing day to day life problems like Gas/Ration Card/Passport/School Admission every where they have to pay extra money then the common mass hidden in them surfaced. Everybody has right to consider their own development but same time society also demands in turn something in return which will transform the faith of 99.99% of India.
Dear Sir, you are Mukhia of DRDO and sharing more responsibility then Directors of Labs. Every Director being human bound to in act inhuman qualities, there are several example whether in HEMRL, DIAT, DLRL, CABS, DEAL, IRDE, ITM and DRDO Hqrs. Why only DRDO evidences are that intuitions and their heads across India are neck deep involved in corruption and nepotism. All scientific organizations are responsible for the growth of national economy and national defence.
DRDO however has been brought in the lime light even during low intensity conflict like“KARGIL WAR”. The war exposed the DRDO’s achievements.
If SA has to deliver a lecture probably he can count more than 500 items on which projects were taken and can claim that all have been developed and delivered but so far entire country knows that DRDO is nowhere have not delivered a single 100% indigenous product specially in during KARGIL WAR.
Sir allow the Anna Hazare hidden in you to wake up and start action against corruption and nepotism prevailing in DRDO.
Thanking you

Dear Dr. Saraswat Ji Good Morning
Staying at Delhi you might have felt the heat of “anti corruption movement” by an old Gandhian ‘Sh Anna Hazare’. The entire nation right from innocent children’s to old citizen irrespective of village and city has join hands against corruption.
I as disciplined government servant dedicated my services on project of defence. I realized some fowl play of Director, DEAL and immediately intimated to various government agencies through proper channel. But the roots of corruption have gone in such deep in DRDO that the culprit was honored.
You are surrounded by those officers who have close association with corrupt regime. Instead of taking lead a new missile development, chances are that you may found yourself one day in centre of corrupt wave and would continuo to receive legal notices by name at least from 40-45 cities where DRDO Labs are situated.
One such notice is enclosed for you ready reference. The interesting part is the current DOP who kept open his eyes & ear to benefit his ward and relatives, shutdown/closed his eyes & ear in respect dealing with some criminal/corrupt official who were supposed to dealt with within the constitutional provisions as dictated in CCS rules.
Since this article is dedicated to Sh Anna Hazare, the crusader of fighting against corruption, I would like explain the modus operandi of corrupt and highly placed DRDO officials, how they benefit themselves and select few.
Dr Arun Kumar a corrupt officer (please look into his ugly act of appointing his daughter violating stipulated norms of appointment) brought on transfer Sh A K Dixit, Scientist ‘E’ from DIAT, Pune. Sh A K Dixit is famous in Pune for single tender purchase and also expert in violating/manipulating the DRDO procurement rules. He has a pet company M/s Rahul Commerce Pvt Ltd, Pune which was supplied each & everything to Sh A K Dixit for establishing a multimedia equipped studio at DIAT campus worth 8 corers. Now DOP wants to use his expertise and go for centrally purchase of same set up for all 52 Labs of DRDO. In DRDO this has become a common practice. 1999 onwards DRDO Hqrs took the lead of air-condition library for each lab and from furniture to AC to carpet to computer were procured centrally by DRDO Hqrs for one lab cost was 25- 50 Lakhs. Similarly the security systems were developed in same fashion. This is easy process where corruption is nurtured and nourished.
Sir, Sh Anna Hazare has knocked the door of each corrupt individual and has given opportunity to them to surrender and stop corrupt practices or else they all will be brought in to book. As head of the establishment please ensure that corruption and nepotism prevailing in DRDO is clipped.
Thanking you

Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning
It astonishing that when entire nation has wakeup against corruption and the people have come out in the street with a firm decision to weed out corruption from the country, DRDO Hqrs and specially officers working directly under your able leadership have not changed their mind set. Like the period of Dr V K Atre the corrupt official are protected and the biggest thing is their criminal & anti-national act is sealed with different kinds of awards, soft patronage and outstanding promotions.
The case against Dr A K Tyagi, Scientist ‘F’, Head, RTI Cell, DRDO Hqrs & Sh Hemant Kumar Gupta, Head Material Management, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun has been registered by CVC ( Copy enclosed) but DRDO has rewarded them and concern authorities have given the opportunities to conceal the facts/corrupt acts.
Dr A K Tyagi, Scientist ‘F’, Head, RTI Cell, DRDO Hqrs has been found 1st April 2011 morning in Honda City which was provided by vendor at Pune. He visited DRDO labs of Pune and boasted that DRDO Hqrs has privileged him with Temporary Duties as when he needs. His visit aims to Pune for manipulate the evidences against him. He has violated the all procurement norms laid by DRDO authority vide there Revised Edition 1999, DRDO manual of Procedure for Management of Library & Technical Information Centers. – DRDO Hqrs, Ministry of Defence.
Sh. Hemant Kumar Gupta Head Material Management, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun was found guilty in fake Temporary Duty claim and he is working mainly as a revenue collector for Director, Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun has been rewarded Outstanding from Scientist ‘F’ to ‘G’ and best part of this that Director Material Management at DRDO Hqrs to whom Sh. Hemant Kumar Gupta Head Material Management, DEAL reporting has not get a assessment call. However, Sh R C Aggarwal has obliged Sh Hemant Kumar Gupta for the best duties as revenue collector for him, Sh Hemant Kumar Gupta when he was engaged in scientific work never get normal assessment call and even had to appear two/three times, how can suddenly when he performed non scientific tasks as HMM from last three years could get outstanding call
Sir, this the dark face of nepotism which is prevailing being nourishing under your able leadership.
Honorable Defence Minister already noticed this issue and directed DRDO top brass for “to nurture talent and ensure “fairness at all levels” in order to realise the organisation”s goals” in 35th Director`s conference.
If DRDO has to fly the national flag high you have to check such unwarranted events and discourage the officers when they are engage in corruption and nepotism.
Thanking you

CBI arrests former scientists on corruption charges
S. Vijay Kumar The Hindu Sunday, Mar 20, 2011
They caused huge losses, delayed mass production of ‘Akash’ missile
When SAMEER shortlisted Sam Shin Precision the company was yet to be formed
Abuse of power alleged in contract for mass production of Integrated Radio Line Modems
CHENNAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested two former scientists of the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) on charges of irregularities that caused a huge loss to the exchequer and delayed the mass production of ‘Akash,’ the surface-to-air missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), sources in the agency said.
(SAMEER is an autonomous institution for Research and Development under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology that deals with sensitive defence related and other projects.)
Between 2005 and 2009, the sources said, S. Karunakaran, former Director of SAMEER, Taramani, Chennai, allegedly abused his official position and awarded the contract of mass production of Integrated Radio Line Modems (IRLMs) favouring Sam Shin Precision Pvt. Ltd, a firm owned by his friend P. Rathinavel.
IRLMs were meant for use in Akash Missile Programme by the Ministry of Defence. Other eligible Government and reputed private companies were denied the contract.
Mr. Karunakaran also awarded work contracts of SAMEER to other companies owned by Rethinavelu. When SAMEER shortlisted Sam Shin Precision for awarding the contract, the company was neither formed nor registered, the sources said.
“The CBI took up suo motu investigation in this case. During the probe, the role of K.R. Kini, another former Director of SAMEER, in causing huge loss to the Government came to light. The act of the two scientists resulted in the hindrance to the progress of ‘Akash’ missile project,” a CBI official told The Hindu on Saturday.
He said the conditions laid down in the ‘Transfer of Technology’ agreement was not complied with by the scientists and the contractor. “When the delay in the supply of IRLMs was affecting the mass production of Akash missile, the DRDO got the material from other sources. Besides causing a loss to the exchequer, the accused persons interfered with the progress of a sensitive project that relates to national security,” the official said.
A case of cheating, criminal conspiracy and corruption was registered against the three. They were produced in a special court and remanded to judicial custody till April 1, the sources added.
Postponement of DRDO Director’s Conference
16th March 2011
Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning
Postponement of DRDO Director’s Conference suppose to held on 4th March has drawn the attention of many including those who are concern with national security.
Two events Def –Expo and DRDO Director’s Conference are important as it provides a platform for user three services and researchers (DRDO) to come together and discuss the priorities of weapons and its availability in global market, potential of developing import substitute through rigorous R&D.
The scenario at Indian border does invite a holistic defence procurement to modernize the various systems.
The role of R&D therefore pushed in the front. All developed nations even if they try to help India, they can only sell 15-20 years old technology. As an example US spend 50 years on developing 200 Watt CW Laser Source for satellite to submarine communication. If DRDO plans to purchase such system it will never get. In such condition the boss of DRDO that is SA to RM should consider the R&D of such Laser Source and should accelerate the holistic R&D in this area.
The award ceremony for awarding scientists without a product or patent is not justified. If award is to giving encourage and motivate and if goal is not defined the R&D fails to convert into product and if the help of PSU’s the prototype comes out until the field evaluation is done the award is meaningless. It is simply becomes ritual instead of helping the organization it detourate the growth of potential of the scientific manpower.
This postponement of DRDO Director’s Conference may not be instantaneous instead it may be growing hatred between demand and supply.
Does this postponement indicates the difference of opinion between user and researchers only time will tell.
Thanking you

Just to complete the Coram of minimum seven bidders the above names were used. This practice being followed by mid 90’s when the boss of HEMRL had larger size than establishment. He is still giving patronage to the illegal operation of his pet firms. Sh A Appa Rao, Scientist ‘G’, CFA who was groomed by then Director is now CFA and takes the decision in all procurement cases where individuals get benefitted and the country’s interest is being overlooked.
If you check from HEMRL procurement records the firms like M/s BB Enterprises have got nearly 40 contracts of worth Rs 2 crores in successive year with all manipulation in procurement policy. Sh A Appa Rao, Scientist ‘G’, CFA entertained above fake firms (whom does not have even service tax registration and necessary required qualifications) to help Sh B B Chavan’s firms.
Sh A Appa Rao, Scientist ‘G’, CFA the key person behind the misappropriation of government funds and misinterpretation of government rules. As per rule no contractor in DRDO can get the contract for two successive years.
All most all the DRDO labs are following similar culture for sub contracting the same persons are getting contracts and fooling government rules creates the backup firm.

Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning
With my letter dated 13 December 2010 following information was requested under purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005.
Reference to letter DRDL/PIO/2010 dated 25h November 2010 and 26th November 2010 mentioned that “The competent authority has decided not to pursue disciplinary proceeding, the matter may be treated as closed”
Please provide me the date of decision of the competent authority.
Please provide the name of competent authority.
Please provide the noting of above decision.
Reason if any not to put this information on my service book.
CPIO, DRDL failed to provide me requested information and I appealed to DRDO appellate authority vide my letter dated 1st February 2011.
In respond of my appeal I have received a letter from DRDO, RTI Cell no RTI/02/2091/P/2010 dated 18th February 2011 where confusion has been created by Director, AFHQ & Head Admin that subject matter being under examination in consultation with CPIO, DRDL, Dehradun. As such DRDL is situated in Hyderabad but the signatory and First Appellate Authority whose approval has been obtained, has relocated DRDL to Dehradun. Copy enclosed for your perusal please.
It seems that the officers sitting close to you have least respect for their jobs/assignments.
It has come to my notice that Dr Arun Kumar, OS & DOP has already put you under embarrassing situation (legal notice) when without getting your consent he suspended and terminated illegally Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware, T O ‘B’ HEMRL, Pune. Further Dr Arun Kumar admitted in a written reply that he is not a Disciplinary Authority in respect of Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware, T O ‘B’ HEMRL case.
Dr Arun Kumar blindly violating the all CCS/CCA rules and for Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware’s case have committed offence under Sections 167 and 170 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code.
Hope you will correct Dr Arun Kumar, OS & DOP and convey at least that DRDL is situated at Hyderabad.
You are fortunate enough to have your deputies who are diasing and offensive to the extent that they do not respect the constitutional provision (Article 46) whereas as per Supreme Court directives no one can use the word which can hurt the entire community. For the untouchables of yester years for Dr Prahlada, DS & CC R&D (Ae & SI) they are still untouchable and they don’t deserve a birth for higher education.
Thanking you
Regards
