    Friends,

    I present before you a very serious matter pertaining to IIM Ahmedabad presented to

    me by Sri Ketan Bhatt, Computer Professional, Computer Center of IIMA (Phone-M :

    +91-9824000963, Email [email protected], [email protected]). I had

    interactions with him even before and he had send me many documents through which he

    wanted to show some kind of partisan and discriminatory stand being taken by the

    Director of IIMA and some other faculty/ staff members. I would not like to comment

    on that because one can never be too sure about facts when getting it from one side

    and where the full facts are not known.

    But when yesterday he phoned me again and told something which I find not only

    damaging to him but also against the basic rules of functioning of any Government-

    backed Institution (autonomous or otherwise) that I thought I must raise this issue

    in all possible manners so that injustice to this extent is immediately stopped.

    To quote a few relevant portions of the long mail Sri Bhatt has sent me-

    1. Since many months, I am forced to use SpeedPost to write to my own Dean/Director.

    They do NOT reply to any of my letters/ emails.

    2. The letter to Director, IIMA which was refused by his staff is attached. 9 minute

    audio record of my visit to Director's office is also attached.

    3. Director and Dean have issued instructions to their staff NOT to acknowledge

    receipt of my letters4. Yesterday (03-Aug) I took a day off specifically for writing attached letter

    (100803 Ketan 2 Director.pdf) to Director. When I went to submit my letter and

    requested acknowledgement receipt on second copy, staff refused to comply because of

    standing instructions from Director himself. They even refused to make entry into

    inward register diary because Director expects employees to leave their

    communications on personal faith on his office staff.

    5. Ironically, whenever Dean/ Director send me letters, their staff invariably take

    care to procure my signed acknowledgement for their record. Morals? Ethics??

    Propriety???

    I am sure all of you will agree that if these facts are true then this is blatantly

    wrong and call be called illegal as well. This is particularly relevant in a case

    where Sri Bhatt is openly making accusations against the Director and others.

    As the saying goes- Caesar's wife must be above suspicion..

    Thus without commenting on the rest of the matter, I would sincerely request all ofyou to kindly look into the matter and help ending this anomalous situation. I shall

    keep pursuing the matter as much as I can.
