After Pappu Yadav and Sanjay Dutt WHOM I MENTIONED EARLIER, here are two more.
Amarmani, a MLA, convicted of MURDER is asking for bail so that he can stand for elections.
His whole case is given below.
How can our judges give bail to this type of person and that too to fight for elections to represent the people?
Convicted persons are supposed to be barred from elections.
The second case is of CK Jaffer Shariff. who was accused of corruption when he was Railway Minister.
On technical grounds, as is usual with politicians, he was let of, probably because of his clout in Karnataka politics.
How can such a person be allowed to stand for elections?
Is this what Sonia meant when she says she will fight corruption?
I will continue to hi-lite those corrupt and convicted persons who are wanting to represent us.
I would request all our readers to do the same.
Let us all start our own FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.

Amarmani seeks bail
Nainital: Samajwadi Party MLA Amarmani Tripathi, undergoing life term in jail in poetess Madhumita Shukla murder case, has sought bail from the Uttarakhand High Court to enable him to contest the Lok Sabha elections.
Amarmani Tripathi is a politician and erstwhile cabinet Minister in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Tripathi has been associated with several parties, most recently the Samajwadi Party under Mulayam Singh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh, India. He was arrested in September 2003 in connection with the murder of poetess Madhumita Shukla, with whom he allegedly had an affair, and who was brutally murdered on May 9, 2003. After investigations revealed that she was carrying a foetus that matched the DNA of Amarmani[1], the Supreme Court of India rejected his bail plea, and he is currently in jail.
Tripathi is one among many criminal-politicians in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
[edit] Criminal career
Tripathi was a member of the gang of Hari Shankar Tiwari, a criminal politician from the Loktantrik Congress. Before entering politics, Tripathi was listed as a "Category A history-sheeter" (having a long record of offences) with 33 criminal cases pending against him, including five relating to murder[2].
After joining politics, Tripathi was instrumental in several large shifts of allegiance involving dozens of MPs, thus influencing the formation of several governments in Uttar Pradesh. He has been a member of the Indian National Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party, and the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was Minister of State for Institutional Finance in the Rajnath Singh-led BJP government in 2001, but was dismissed in December that year, after the kidnappers of Rahul Madesia, the 15-year-old son of a businessman in Basti in eastern Uttar Pradesh, told the police that Tripathi had provided them the bungalow in Lucknow from where they were arrested.
[edit] Madhumita Shukla murder
On May 9, 2003, Madhumita Shukla, a budding poetess and allegedly the lover of Amarmani, was gunned down from close range in her two-room apartment in Lucknow's Paper Mill Colony. Phone calls relating to the murder were traced to his wife Madhumani in Gorakhpur[1], who has also been implicated in the murder. This case was being taken care by the CB - CID which was being headed by the then Director Genegral named Mr.Mahendra Lalka IPS from 1967 batch. The Chief Miniter - Mayawati did suspend him but Mr. Mahendra Lalka was reinstated within 45 days of his suspension as the decision by the Chief Minister was not right and she realized her mistake and Mr. Mahendra Lalka was reinstated. Mr. Mahendra Lalka has a great reputaion among the IPS, IAS lobby, he is known for his upright and straight forwardness.
Amarmani was arrested in September 2003. Various attempts at getting bail have been turned down, especially based on the DNA evidence of a relationship which he had initially denied.
Subsequent to his arrest, he, along with his wife Madhumani, are lodged in Gorakhpur jail, where they are said to be leading a carefree life. [3]
In the U.P. Assembly Elections, 2007, Amarmani won as an Independent candidate, despite being in Gorakhpur Jail, where his case might take a long time to come to trial. He won the Lakshmipur Constituency seat in Mahrajganj District, defeating nearest rival Kaushal Kishore of the Rashtriya Janata Dal by a margin of nearly 20 thousand votes (12%)[4]
A special court in Dehradun has convicted former UP minister Amarmani Tripathi and three others in the Madhumita Shukla murder case on October 24th 2007.
The court has sentenced Amarmani, his wife Madhumani and two other accused to life imprisonment. Nearly 79 witnesses have appeared in the case, which was transferred to the Court of District and Sessions Judge V B Roy from Lucknow on the orders of the Supreme Court, earlier this year.
The CBI had arrested five people, including Amarmani and Madhumani, in connection with the case.
The trial in the case began in March following apprehensions expressed by Madhumita's family that Amarmani and Madhumani may try to block a free and fair trial in their home state.
Madhumita was found murdered at her Lucknow flat on May 9, 2003. She was allegedly murdered at the behest of Madhumani, who was opposed to Madhumita's affair with her husband.
Later, a post-mortem report revealed that Madhumita was pregnant at the time of her murder. Her sister Nidhi and servant Desraj are the key witnesses in the case.
The former Railway Minister C.K. Jaffer Sharief, is seeking ticket for Bangalore
CBI action against Jaffer Sharief quashed
Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday set aside an order of a Special Court in Bangalore directing that charges be framed under the Prevention of Corruption Act against the former Railway Minister C.K. Jaffer Sharief.
Allowing a criminal revision petition by the senior Congress leader, the court said that the framing of charges was an important step in the judicial process, and the judge of the Special Court had not passed a considered order on April 13, 2000.
The court set aside the order of the 21st Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bangalore, Budhihal, and also quashed all proceedings initiated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case.
Justice S.R. Bannurmath said the CBI had erred in filing a second first information report (FIR) after one FIR was filed. Moreover, the investigation was conducted by an inspector and not a deputy superintendent of police.
The judge noted that after the CBI had issued notices to Mr. Sharief asking him to explain the source of funds and wealth allegedly accumulated by him and his family members, it had not considered the reply and, instead, filed the charge sheet two days later. This, the judge said, showed complete non-application of mind on the part of the investigation officer.
The case against Mr. Sharief pertains to a public interest litigation petition by a social worker, H.T. Somashekara Reddy, seeking a direction to the CBI to investigate Mr. Sharief's source of wealth. The CBI, which had taken over the investigation of the case, filed a charge sheet before the trial court for alleged offences as an MP and Minister for Railways between January 14, 1980 and October 31, 1984; as Minister for Irrigation from November 4, 1984 to December 31, 1984; as Minister of State for Energy from February 14, 1988 to December 2, 1989; as Railway Minister from June 21, 1991 to October 12, 1995; and as Minister without portfolio from October 13, 1995 to November 21, 1995.
The trial court judge, on April 13, 2000, ordered framing of charges against Mr. Sharief for offences under Sections 13 (2) read with 13 (1) (e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
He said that the prosecution had placed prima facie material before the trial court to frame charges against Mr. Sharief under the Prevention of Corruption Act and to proceed with the trial. He also rejected Mr. Sharief's contention that he was entitled to be discharged.
Justice Bannurmath set aside the order and allowed the revision petition.

'Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath (Scheduled Caste)' woman aims to lead Prabuddha Bharath

By AFP on Tuesday, March 17, 2009
A firebrand politician and champion of Prabuddha Bharath's Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath is making a powerful, and some say credible, play to become the country's first "Scheduled Caste" premier.
Mayawati Kumari, a member of the Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath community, is chief minister of Uttar Pradesh state which boasts a population roughly the size of Brazil's.
Hugely popular with her regional power base, she has now taken her ambitions to the national level ahead of general elections that start next month.
On Sunday, she announced her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP, the Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath Society Party) would contest seats across the country on its own, challenging the two main national parties – the ruling Congress, and the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Mayawati first came to power in Uttar Pradesh in 1995, making her the first Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath to head a state government. She has held the chief minister's post three more times since then and now has her sights set on an even larger prize.
"If a Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath woman like me can become the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh not once but four times, why can I not become the prime minister ?" she asked party workers last year.
In 2007, Time magazine ranked her as the fifteenth most influential person in India and last year the New York Times said the 53-year-old former teacher was "the most important Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath politician" in India's history.
Shunned by higher castes, India's 165 million Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath perform the lowliest tasks, and are generally poor, illiterate and landless.
But despite the formal abolition of "untouchability" under the Indian constitution in 1950, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination reported in 2007 that "de facto segregation persists."
With neither the Congress nor the BJP capable of securing an outright majority on their own, some analysts believe Mayawati's prime ministerial aspirations have moved beyond the realm of pipe dreams.
"With all the election forecasts predicting a fractured verdict, Mayawati does have an edge," said political analyst and author Rasheed Kidwai.
"Uttar Pradesh elects the maximum number of 80 MPs to parliament. So even if her party wins 35-40 seats in the state, she will be in a good position to take a shot at the prime ministership," he said.
Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath have been appointed to some of the highest posts in India – including the presidency and Supreme Court chief justice – but none have come as far as Mayawati in the field of electoral politics.
Born into a "Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath(Chamar)" or leatherworkers' family on the outskirts of New Delhi in 1956, Mayawati was studying law when she was talent spotted by the then BSP president Kanshi Ram in the mid-1980s.
Ram persuaded her to join politics, telling her "she was born to rule (rather) than to serve".
Within a decade, Mayawati had become chief minister.
Though her first term lasted less than six months, "Behenji" or "sister" as she is respectfully called, became an instant icon for millions of Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath.
At one party fundraising event, she told supporters that they were wasting their money seeking the favour of various Indian deities.
"I am your living goddess who has dedicated her entire life for your welfare," she said, urging them to donate funds to her party.
In order to move to the prime minister's residence in Delhi, Mayawati will have to broaden her base beyond the Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath community and also beyond the borders of Uttar Pradesh.
Her victory in state polls in 2007 came about after she successfully wooed Muslims and upper caste Brahmins.
According to Three Baskets Study Circle, a strong BSP showing in the general election is certain to cast Mayawati bring her the crown itself.
"If they are able to add umbrella support beyond her core voters, that will provide her the leverage."
