Mr Yogendra,

 

SUBRAMANIAM YOGANATHAN’S TESTAMENTARY MATTER T55/2011

 

I write further to my yesterday’s letter. This morning I asked my ancestral powers for guidance in this matter, which to my mind seems like money-laundering activity.

The following facts, when consolidated, lead me to  the conclusion:

1.    Yoganathan passed away on 20 -04-2010. According to the Petitioners he fell into the well when bathing.

2.    I went in September 2010 to my husband’s ancestral home given as dowry by her father to the Petitioner Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan. Before his death, Yoganathan also lived in that home but had all his meals from outside.

3.     Mr Sellathurai Mahadevan who was listed as 1^st Petitioner by you,  lamented with tears in his eyes that Yoganathan had not trusted him  but that he trusted Sabanathan (3^rd Respondent in your list) who had custody of bank documents.

4.    I said to him that he had same rights as Sabanathan and promised to do what I could, as I had helped Senthil (eldest son of the eldest brother of the deceased) when his brother passed away and also when his father passed away. Mahadevan said that his wife had the bank statements in her custody.

5.    Then I asked Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan to show me the relevant documents

6.    Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan said that she needed the approval of her sister Mrs Saraswathy Sabanathan(4^th Respondent in your list).

7.    My husband spoke to Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan and stated that I had all the rights he had.

8.    Later Mrs Sabanathan rang my husband and stated that he had brought shame to the family by marrying me . (The point you used repeatedly to upset me in courts)

9.    On 21 October 2010, Mrs Saraswathy Sabanathan, wrote to Barlays Bank UK -  without our knowledge. We learnt about this from the Court documents.  In that letter she asks for guidance to withdraw the funds. The Bank responded to her . This was included in the court documents filed by you.

10. About four months later, in February 2011, Sabanathan Yohananda the son of 3^rd and 4^th Respondents, rang us from Northern Sri Lanka and I answered the phone.

11. Yohananda (Yohar) said it  would be good if my husband (Param) wrote over his share to the two sisters. In support, he said that the other brother Tharmalingam (1^st Respondent) had already done so. That handover by Tharmalingam did not ‘seem’ right to me – because Yoganathan had already shared with me his feelings that Tharmalingam lacked independence. Param also refused to oblige Yohar.

12. Yohar said that if Param did write over his share, it would be easy to withdraw monies from the banks.

13. In order to ensure that due processes were upheld, I asked Yohar to send the forms from the bank, where the monies were deposited, together with the details of bank balances. When the forms came, I realised that the monies as stated were far above the limit of Rs 500k (as stated in the form) that could be drawn without Administration.

14. Param rang the brother’s son – Venu - working in Singapore and asked him for confirmation of the information provided by Yohar. Venu  did confirm. Param said to me he was determined not to sign over his share to the sisters.

15.  When Yohar rang me again, that time, I advised them to go through a lawyer.  They hired you.

16. You (Mr Yogendra), advised us that there were monies in the UK amounting to about 100k pounds and that my husband was entitled to a ‘small share’. As per the documental evidence we had access to, through the courts, Yohar already had knowledge of the UK money  when he sent me the details but he did not include that in the list he sent me.

17. Param said that we needed to go through the Indigenous Tamil law of Thesawalamai. According to which brothers inherited from brothers.

18.  You sent us letter dated 06-12-2011 seeking our signatures to the declaration ‘We the undersigned 1. Subramaniam Paramasivam, the 5^th respondent and 2. Gajaluxamy Paramasivam 6^th respondent (husband and wife) in the above case, have no objections to the application made to this court by the 1^st and 2^nd Petitioners above mentioned for the issue of Certificates of Heirships to the Estate of the deceased Subramaniam Yoganathan.’

 

19. In your covering letter you have stated ‘As you are the Brother and others are sisters all of you can obtain equal shares and conclude this matter at your earliest without infighting, which will delay the whole matter for a long time.’

 

20. According to the Proxy, you had the authority to collect monies.

 

21. As per the Financial Schedule filed by you on 31-05-2011, the total value of the Assets was Rs 17,132,993.98 and Liabilities listed were Rs. 675,000 which included Rs 200,000 as Advance deposit for Legal expenses and Rs 450,000 to Mr Sabanathan the 3^rd Respondent.

 

22. As per Paragraph 6 of the Petition dated 31-05-2011 ‘The Petitioner applies to Your Honours Court for the issue of certificates of Heirship to each of the heirs’.  No Administrative power was applied for

 

23. My husband attached these documents to his Affidavit dated 30-12-2011, as ‘Annexure A’.

 

24. Our Objection together with the Affidavit was filed on 16 January 2012. We sought ‘Administration’ and Certificates of heirship.

 

 

25. When you filed your clients’ petition in court, you drew special attention to in the Application as well as well as their Affidavit – to the fact that our children were not biological children of my husband. (This later resulted in us writing a new will – so our earned and saved wealth from zero base would not be claimed by my husband’s relatives.)

26.  On 26 January 2012 Judge Arumanayakam of Mallakam District Court asked me a few questions to verify the validity of my husband’s Affidavit. Then, the judge questioned  the Mr Mahadevan as to whether they had sent us the documents attached to the Affidavit. Mr Mahadevan stated that their lawyer  (you) had sent the documents. You, Mr Yogendra were not present in court. A junior lawyer appeared. The judge roared and stated that he would not have lawyers conducting a de facto court, outside the courthouse. 

27.  My husband’s Affidavit was set aside by Judge Gajanithipalan but the order was not released until much later

28.  We Appealed to the High Court which upheld decided that it did not have authority to address the question of ‘Administration’ of monies in the UK but upheld the District Court decision of Equal share to all siblings. That decision was delivered on 14 March 2018. The files were sent back to Mallakam District Court.

29. This was preceded by the decision on 28-09-2016 that the District Court order was interlocutory and leave to appeal was granted.

30. On 18 March 2018, Mr Manivannan who is now Mayor of Jaffna, and who then represented us in the Appeal Court, wrote to me as follows:

From: visva manivannan [mailto:vsvmanivannan@yahoo.com]
Sent: Sunday, 18 March 2018 4:09 PM
To: gaja param
Subject: Re: Judgment in Our Matter

We can get the copy by next week. We have to go before the Supreme Court within 42 days

31.  The certificate of Heirship was issued on 20 June 2018, as per your application to Court. You did not send us a copy. After repeated applications, we received ours on 15 April 2021.

32.  On 03 August  2018, I stated as follows in my letter to you:

It is my husband’s understanding that you stated as follows on the phone, in response to his letter dated 27 July 2018:

 

•       Certificates of Heirship have already been issued by the Court

•       That monies from some banks in Sri Lanka have been remitted to the Courts and that there were more to be collected

•       That the Administration regarding  Barclay’s wealth monies were already underway

 

Would you please advise us of the current situation in relation to each of the accounts in the schedule submitted to the Court.  The Petitioners who filed the schedule seem to have misled the Court in this regard.

Would you also list in detail,  the steps taken by your clients in relation to applying for Administration in relation to the wealth of the Deceased in the UK. I draw your particular attention to the following sections of  the UK  ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES ACT 1925…..:

 

33.   On 26 March 2019, my husband filed a ‘Right to Information’ Application seeking details of any Authority under which the Registrar of Mallakam District Court was playing the role of ‘Administrator’.  Your clients had  argued in Court that no administration was needed.

34. In January this year during our meeting with the Registrar of Mallakam District Court, – he said that there was no record of the death of the Petitioner Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan.

35. During this meeting we learnt that the monies collected from the Sri Lankan banks was about 5 million rupees

36. When we asked the Registrar whether we could withdraw our share – he said that we had to file Accounts and move a motion in Court

 

37. We instructed our Attorney to file a fresh application for Administration due to the amount being in excess of 4 million limit without Administration.

 

38. On 28 October 2022, I wrote to you as follows: ‘As per my intuition, my husband rang today, the Registrar of Mallakam District court, to find out the progress made in this matter. The Registrar informed us that you had rung today and have arranged to collect the monies of two of the parties on Wednesday. We have been informed that you had moved in Court to get the order to collect the monies. I am informing you that I seek to initiate legal action against you in Colombo regarding this matter unless you respond immediately to the following:

 

1.    Under which section of the Civil Procedure code have you moved this matter after the death of the Petitioner, Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan, in February 2021.

2.    During our meeting with the registrar, in January this year, he informed us that one of the requirements before withdrawing monies was the filing of a Statement of Accounts. As you must know, our demands in this regard, to Mrs Sabanathan who seems to have withdrawn  the monies in UK, have been ignored by her. Unless your parties have been exempted from filing accounts, I expect Mrs Sabanathan to file accounts at the Mallakam District Court. If you have a copy of the accounts, I request you to send it to us by email.

 

 

I have since decided that the Court Process would be too long and frustrating. Hence I propose to share my experience with others – especially the Sri Lankan Diaspora, to beware of effective money laundering activities such as this, in Northern Sri Lanka. I expect the Judicial Services Commission also to inquire into this – as Judge Gajanithipalan was delaying the delivery of his decision and needed a complaint to the Commission, to deliver his decision. If the Courts are continuing  to delay, the risk of money-laundering is high. My record in this regard is in the Appendix

 

Appendix

My ‘intelligence’ in this was developed in Australia as well as Sri Lanka’s North where I was approached by those who were syphoning off  monies from the accounts of the dead. Here in Australia, the monies were getting transferred from ANZ bank to St George bank. I complained to the Banking Ombudsman but they failed to make a finding against the Banks. But due to my truth, and commitment to law, I learnt the modus operandi of such operators. This protected me from others in similar ‘business’ whom I naturally opposed.

When I got to know what they were doing and refused to be involved, I had a call from the Thiruketheeswaram temple priest I met in 2006, when I went to do the last rites of Paramanathan Shanmugalingam (youngest son of the eldest brother of  Yoganathan.  The priest called soon after the ‘client’ who said he would pay me 10% of the money which he said was from his ‘customers’. Given the knowledge I had by then, I declined. That ‘client’ called me soon after the priest and I felt that I had to go through the experience.

Later I was approached by Sri Lankan Tamils to join them, on the understanding that they were for development projects in North – a bit like Lycamobile’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’ which is extremely popular within Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora. I did not say ‘no’ but said I would need to be paid a fee of 10% for writing the ‘proposal’ which was also an offer I made to LTTE officials in Kilinochchi when they asked me to remit money to them. In their case I offered to do it free for them. When I went back to the van – the other passengers who had agreed to pay as asked, were surprised that I was not pressured. I said that it was due to me not being ‘judgmental’ of the LTTE, nor taking any junior position with them.

The leader in the group said that they could pay me well above the 10%. I stated that my policy was 10% only. Later the coordinators of that group came over to our cottage in our temple grounds at Sangarathai-Thunaivi.  They asked for my signatures on the ‘certificates’ carrying our company name. I was ok with it as it was based on a joint project. But as I started signing, I realised that the numbers  were way above the ones trained. At that moment, the lights went off and I realized that they were not being honest with me. They never returned. That is how my truth indicates to me when some is trying to cheat me.

Mr Yogendra,

 

TESTAMENTARY MATTER T55/2011

 

As per my intuition, my husband rang today, the Registrar of Mallakam District court, to find out the progress made in this matter. The Registrar informed us that you had rung today and have arranged to collect the monies of two of the parties on Wednesday. We have been informed that you had moved in Court to get the order to collect the monies.

 

When I asked the Registrar – he stated that the file was in the chambers and hence he could not give further details.

 

I am informing you that I seek to initiate legal action against you in Colombo regarding this matter unless you respond immediately to the following:

 

1.    Under which section of the Civil Procedure code have you moved this matter after the death of the Petitioner, Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan, in February 2021.

2.    During our meeting with the registrar, in January this year, he informed us that one of the requirements before withdrawing monies was the filing of a Statement of Accounts. As you must know, our demands in this regard, to Mrs Sabanathan who seems to have withdrawn  the monies in UK, have been ignored by her. Unless your parties have been exempted from filing accounts, I expect Mrs Sabanathan to file accounts at the Mallakam District Court. If you have a copy of the accounts, I request you to send it to us by email.

 

Mr Yogendra, the fact that we got to know this intuitively means that it is now in the Court of Natural Justice. It happened once before also during  Nallur festival – when the Registrar had this very file open when I walked in unannounced. This is also Kantha Sashti time. To me, this process is part of the last rites performed for Brother Yoganathan’s soul to join our ancestors, so we would get their Blessings. Whoever lied in court will reap the karma. To me, it is no coincidence that Mrs Sakthidevy Mahadevan’s son did not get to do her last rites. To the extent you act in breach of Due Process of law, you also will earn Mr Yoganathan’s curse on you, on top of the curse of your Judicial Elders. Below in an excerpt from my current book on how I settle scores through my writing. That is like Jury verdict:

 

‘As I picked up my file I said to our lawyer ‘I am really disappointed with you.’ At that moment Mr. Yogendra who was standing next to our lawyer – at the head of the bar-table also looked in my direction – and I said to him ‘as for you’ and in  Tamil ‘I am not a prostitute’. So saying, I  walked towards the Public end of the Court.’

That was my judgment of the Judiciary that failed to respect lawful marriage, but rubbished it to ‘win’ money by cheating.

The next time we went to Vaddukoddai and were speaking to Mr Moorthi who runs a small coconut shop – this guy who was known to be talking to himself, said to Param ‘Where are you going with your wife?’ That spot was almost opposite Param’s ancestral home, given to his sister as dowry. I felt that Param’s ancestors were comforting me in terms of my true position of ‘wife’.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

MEDIA & JURORS

 

When the Australian media kept publishing reports about protestors and economic collapse of Sri Lanka there were hardly any Opposers of those reports. I did not see any from the Sri Lankan Diaspora groups, except my own.  If we had a vote – they would ‘poll’ more than I, due to the pre-packaged  opinion. Yet media reports were considered negative by many in the Brittany Higgins rape allegation case.  Below is discussion with a  couple of intellectuals (I-1 & I-2)who value my work:

I-1:I believe that Jurors make their decision to give a majority verdict based on the evidence in court.

Gaja: Jurors are NOT law experts. Their interpretation of ‘what happened – as confirmed by their acceptance of ‘evidence in court’ is passed through their belief which is likely to include their religious tenets.

 I-1:In this case previous media coverage had conducted a kangaroo court and tainted the landscape even before it came before the court.

Gaja:To the extent the jurors used the same tenets to interpret media reports the court proceedings would become an extension of that. It is a more regulated part of the Public court

I-1:Therefore, the Judge had no option but to instruct the Jury to consider only the evidence and not the media outcome. Her language may be a bit colourful, but I hope the Jurors understood the caution.

Gaja: The ‘caution’ blocks the path of belief and pollutes the jury process

I-1: If a litigant goes to court and at the end the judge proclaims " the line between allegation and a finding of guilt had been obliterated" 

Then allegation and guilt becomes one isn't? That is the courts basically may have not pursued the truth.

Gaja: Like in religion, the truth would take different forms as per the measures we use. The judgment of the judge in court must look different to the judge of the jury who represent the lay public.

I-1: On the other hand, the allegation is so strong that the courts arguments and evidence found it to be true.

Gaja:That is your judgment and not the court’s. If you are using Judge McCallum’s mind – you are being disrespectful of the jury’s independence and therefore the jury system itself.

I-1: So I am not sure what this Judge had in mind when she instructed the Jurors. Did she instruct Jurors that the allegations are true in the eyes of the law? Hard to say.

Gaja: You are taking the position of follower of the judge. This disqualifies you from being a juror. The judge did not instruct the jurors that the allegations were true. If she did she was interfering with their independence. My point was that the judge was influencing the level of evidence that the jury should accept. That acceptance was required to be made by the individual juror as per her/his belief.

 

I-1: Psychologists have been analyzing sub conscious influences in human minds.

 

 Gaja: We call it karma which resides in the ‘unconscious mind’

 

I-1: Thus even a good judge and a well intentioned jury with moral integrity as well as witnesses and lawyers with the utmost rectitude might be sub consciously influenced by slanted media coverage - again my opinion.

 

Gaja: Likewise the we have to live with Politicians elected by voters who ‘desire’ free / easy money. Ultimately we live with the one we voted for – be it on the basis of desire or belief. The Court is an alternate government in which jury system is parallel of voting system. In this case it is because they are both from the Parliament, the judgement of the jury is also the judgment on our Parliament.

 

I-2: I think there is a convention in a majority of nations that the members of the jury have been enlisted from all  strata of society & the foreman , a person of good educational standing. 

 

Gaja: The base of thinking can range from imagination to feelings. Mine is feelings based due to my experience with the court system in Australia.

 

I-2: A lady teacher member of the jury  in a rape case here had told my wife that there was a gentleman on the jury panel who was expressing a bit of male chauvinist opinions - that there was an element of consent on the part of the victim;

 

Gaja: If the lady teacher had taken care of herself in parallel circumstances, then her belief protects her from such attacks. When we learnt about the ‘Hey Dad’ case, my thoughts were- ‘where were the parents? –especially the mothers?’ – who have intuitive Energy. This is why we have as part of the Hindu marriage ceremony – the ritual of the groom placing the foot of the bride on the grinding stone and adorns it with toe-ring. The grinding stone represents the unshakable quality of chastity. A bride who accepts this ritual in good faith inherits chastity from her ancestors. Then she cures her husband’s tendency to take ‘free-sex’ which eventually contributes to rape. When it was ‘free’ if the wife / partner took her own benefits as per her own ‘calculations’ of what her body is worth she has effectively consented to it. I realised this through my racial discrimination cases in courts. Most migrants accept lower returns for their work because the money is better than what they got in their home countries. That by effect is ‘consent’. When I did object was - when they had access to records of my outstanding performance here in Australia and yet they failed to reward me on merit basis. Then the current Australian in me Opposed the old White Australian. I was ‘failed’ by courts but truth prevailed.

If the gentleman in that jury group felt there was consent, he ought to have been facilitated to express it through his vote. Anyone who calls him ‘male chauvinist’ has already judged. That is the way UN Resolutions ought to be. They are not due to quid pro quos.

 I-2: the gent had been attempting to sway the opinions of the other members of the jury on this possibility:

fortunately for the victim, the foreman of the jury was able to steer the other members to comprehend the salient points of  the evidence and finally come to the conclusion that the accused was guilty of rape.

 

Gaja: There are no rights and wrongs. If the jury acted independently, both are right but are of different cultures

DOES JAFFNA HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM

I was asked for my evaluation on Drug related problems in Jaffna. A family member shared with me a posting on this. I later found it on the Facebook page of my friend Sam Hensman. Below is the posting (P) and my response(R ):

P:  Trust me when I returned in April facing local elections here(only a paper candidate for North Harrow) I could not step into a single house to campaign.. Maybe I have been too sensitive...

Jaffna Today!

Drug Abuse/Addiction in Jaffna, Is it a real concern???

*****************

During March this year I happened to visit Jaffna. Unlike other times I didn't have my family with me so able to wonder around a bit more than usual..

While staying there, attended a birthday gathering and came across a young woman, who was innocent looking and beautiful 25 year old an ideal person to be my daughter in Law.

(R ):This means he was ‘recruiting on skin looks. Not on belief.

 

P:Soon come to know her family background, she was only child for the parents

Studied at a prestigious girls school in Jaffna and a university student.

 

(R ):She represents all these institutions as they are in her generation.

 

P: She approached me for some financial help and claimed to be suicidal with 2 failed attempts!

(R ):If she was truly suicidal and if this visitor was genuine, he would have spoken to cure her or facilitated for her to seek medical help

 

P:I was rather shocked and

gave her some of money towards her education/career.

 

(R ):This is a lie. The ‘giver’ had the desire to think he was a big man

 

P:Later I received calls from her friend too asking for financial help..strangely offering some personal services in return..

That's when I started my small detective work.

Soon I discovered they both addicted to class A drugs although both girls come from very good family backgrounds. My discovery was extremely shocking to me as something I never dreamed would happen to Jaffna girls ..

 

(R ):I do not know what class A drugs are. This person must have known through direct use or indirect benefit – for example from publicity

 

P: Later I offered them substantial amount of money provided they come out of their deadly habit and give me full information about who was behind all these and how they got involved..

 

(R ):This indicates that his real purpose was to find fault and not to ‘help’.

 

P:Unfortunately they rejected my offer. I am certain this was due to fear of their own life as well as their families..

I further researched into this through talking to youngsters and media..

(R ):Sounds like mafia.

 

P:This was started systematically in the Nothern Province immediately after the end of war around 2010 and it continues..

(R ):This means this person wants the war to return.

 

P:According to US cable review (intelligence report), clearly states the Navy, Army and EPDP were directly involved in this..

 

(R ):A Sri Lankan Tamil should not need American judgments.

 

P:We do hear few arrests now and then seems only an eye wash!

 

(R ):The government does not have money to do more.

 

P:The coastal islands of Jaffna mainly Delft became operational Head Quarters for this illicit activity for a very long time

:Drugs were brought here via Sea. Mainly a drug called 'Ice' or ' Crystal Ice' , it is a class A deadly drug become widely available. No shortage for cocaine, heroine...either.

 

(R ):That coastal areas in North are prone to unlawful activities due to lack of ownership  by governments – central as well as provincial and local. Hence like Katcha Theevu, these islands have ‘smuggling ancestry’

 

P:Since the foreign money heavily flowing in Jaffna, it became an easy target for drug trade.

 

(R ):If those who left are part of the ancestry, it is natural

 

P:Apparently this drug driving girls into engage unwanted sexual activities. It is highly addictive and they often engage in prostitution, in order to maintain their addiction. Also they are forced to sell it to their friends and acquaintances.

The latest I heard these girls are forced to engage in on line sexual activities/business.

 

 

(R ):What is ‘wanted sexual activity? Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world

 

P: I believe their addiction currently cost them at least 50k rupees per month.

When they stop taking they get depression, fits, teeth grinding..unless they go through proper rehab.

Apparently number of former EPDP cadres who are mostly 3 wheeler drivers, maintaining the drug supply chain. They seems to know who lives where and their family members..

Young men who are addicted, driven them to violent crimes such as rape, robbery, murder..

 

(R ):All these existed during the war also

 

P:While I was in Jaffna, within a month I came across 3 suicides. One should not be surprised if they were drug related.. One was a 19 year old young woman, another 16 year old school student, apparently the post mortem revealed she was 3months pregnant and a father who could not have any control over his daughter's activities..

Last month a mother of 2 children committed suicide, well known to me, own brother is a famous doctor in Jaffna.. It seems drugs and extortion played a part in it...

 

(R ):Does the doctor know of post war trauma? If yes, what has he done to prevent war in North?

 

P:Since our community extremely cares about family reputations they don't seek help, instead try to hide these issues.

Also there aren't much rehabs available they seem to be suffering in silence..

This matter has put me off quite badly.. Especially when you realise our own people are destroying our community!!! Just like others I have been very proud of my origin and upbringing. Trust me when I returned in April facing local elections here(only a paper candidate for North Harrow) I could not step into a single house to campaign.. Maybe I have been too sensitive...

The biggest question is how deep this problem has routed and what are we going to do about this???

 

(R ):Like Corona virus we do not know of a cure for this pandemic. But we can offset the negative with positive. If you are a teetotaller just become part of that community. Your good karma will cure them. That is what communities are for
