In the petition, filed as a public interest litigation, Ramaswamy had sought appropriate action to be taken on a fax representation, dated April 21, 2011, sent by him to the President, asking for the inclusion of a member from the southern states in the Lokpal committee.
Passing orders, the first bench noted that a copy of the representation sent by fax was submitted to the court. To its "dismay" , the bench found that the representation had been sent by one Stella, who claimed to be 'Traffic' Ramaswamy's personal assistant. Deprecating the manner in which the petitioner had approached the court, the bench said it was a false statement made by the petitioner that he had sent a representation. TNN
