  • Good Afternoon Sir/Ma’am,
    Greetings of the Day,
    Hon’ble Sir/Ma’am,
    I, Mahesh Mitra, apologize for writing to you in this manner because I am very distressed and do not see any other way out.
    I, Mahesh Mitra, a resident of Delhi, am praying to you with all my heart that I am suffering from the last 24 years in a consumer case related to allotment for self-employment. Whereas, in the above mentioned case, I have received more than 36 court orders, statements, reports etc. from various courts during these 24 years. These include the last order passed by NCDRC in the year 2014, which has not been complied with by the opponent till date. Since the opponent is a government official, he is going back on his promise and consent. He is making me run from pillar to post by dragging me to different courts through various cases by hook or crook and is taking me away from my goal of getting justice. I humbly request you to help me by looking at my documents, evidence, orders etc. because I have become a victim of injustice, atrocities, economic and mental harassment, exploitation etc. by the government official, (Chief Executive Officer of Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh). Due to this, I and my family are suffering. It has been ruined and I am empty handed, now even the hope of getting justice is fading away, it will be a great favour from you,
    Thank you,
    Mahesh Mitra, Resident of Delhi, Phone no. – 8800298757,
    a victim wandering to get justice.

    Once again Sorry for distributing you,

  • I want to work with NCLAT Advocate
