Yogesh Kumar Sabharwal
[4] During the 2006 Delhi sealing drive, the Supreme Court under Sabharwal demonstrated extraordinary zeal in demolishing a large number of commercial properties which were illegally running in residential areas.[citation needed] The first firm, Pawan Impex, Pvt Ltd, was registered for some time at Justice Sabharwal's official bungalow in the heart of Delhi, and later at his private house.In June 2006, at the peak of the Supreme Court interest in the 2006 Delhi sealing drive, the Chawlas invested in Park Impex, raising the Share Capital 300 fold to Rs.These allegations appear to be well documented in a set of papers released by the Campaign for Judicial Accountability[11] and were not addressed in Justice Sabharwal's public response,[7] though he did mention that his sons were creating an IT Mall.After the partnership with BPTP in June 2007 Pawan Impex purchased 4 acres (16,000 m2) of land in NOIDA on which this IT Mall is being constructed; Mid-Day reports it to be a Rs.But Pawan Impex represented by Chetan Sabharwal with Nil business, no previous track record in IT and no technical tie up, managed to obtain permission.To the contrary, the Outlook magazine printed a report claiming that he had "called for and dealt with the sealing of commercial property cases in March 2005, though it was not assigned to him.".[6] The actions have been condemned as being at best improper and at worst an attempt "to benefit his sons who entered into partnerships with shopping malls and developers of commercial complexes"."[14] In terms of the content of the charges, the most damaging aspect is the participation of the shopping mall construction giant BPTP in his son's export-import business.[citation needed] About the judgement, ex-law minister Shanti Bhushan stated that Parliament had in 2006 amended the Contempt of Courts Act to say that "if the allegations against a judge were found to be true, then they would not be considered contemptuous".
