RESOLUTION NO.1*
Mr. S.A. Sarnad Secretary of SRCM read the minutes of the meeting dated 10-7-1983 in details and members concerned had big objection on the sealed cover given by Shri Sharad Saxena for declaring as bogus and forge and also the claims of Shri P. Rajagopala chari vide his alleged nomination letter dated 23.3.74 x said to have been executed by Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj and letter dated 19.3.1974 furnished by Shri P. Raja Gopala Chari along with the photocopy cover of the x envelope has to be re-discussed after the discussions of the items of the agenda., and this was the opinion of the all the members present in the meeting. The Chairman asserted and announced that the members will be given the opportunities to discuss on the above said two letters produced in the form of photocopies cannot be taken as authentic unless the originals are produced.
The rest of the minutes as read by Shri S.A. Sarnad were confirmed and adopted. Resolved that the minutes of the meeting dated 10.7.83 were read confirmed and adopted subject to the uscertvue opinion of Chairman Shri. P.C. Chadurvedi regarding the alleged nomination dated 23.3.74 and a covering letter dated 19.3.74 which are to be examined and the opinion of the members to be obtained accordingly
2. Shri S.A. Sarnad produced before the working committee a letter dated 5.5.1983 and 22.8.1983 of Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena alongwith the nomination letter dated 16.4.1982 before the members of the working committee. The members present examined the documents including the declaration/nomination letter dt. 16.4.1982 made by Shri Ram Chandra Ji, Founder President Shri Ram Chandra Mission in favour of Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena and found the same as genuine. Mr. Umesh Chandra Saxena who was present in the meeting on request also showed the originals of the declaration/nomination letter dated 16.4.1982 including the letter dated 5.5.1983 and 22.8.1983. before the Chairman and later on to all members present in the meeting. Mr. P.C. Chadurvedi examined the documents with reference to the registered constitution and rules and by-laws of Shri Ram Chandra Mission and gave the opinion that the nomination of Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena is validly held and is as per the rule 3(b)of the rules and constitution of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
Under the circumsatances the members present accepted the document and the following resolution was passed.
RESOLVED THAT SHRI UMESH CHANDRA SAXENA IS AND BE HEREBY ACCEPTED AND APPROVED AS THE PRESIDENT OF SHRI RAM CHANDRA MISSION IN VIEW OF THE NOMINATION/DECLARATION DATED 16.4.1982 MADE BY SHRI RAM CHANDRAJI, THE FOUNDER PRESIDENT OF SHRI RAM CHANDRA MISSION UNDER RULE 3(b) OF THE RULES AND CONSTITUTION OF OF SHRI RAM CHANDRA MISSION.”
IT WAS FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena, President Shri Ram Chandra mission shall enjoy all the powers as vested with the Founder President under the rules and constitution of Shri Ram Chandra Mission”.
RESOLVED FURTHER THAT “Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena is and be hereby requested to form and appoint fresh members of the working committee or adopt the members already in the list of working committee appointed by the Founder at His own discretion”.
3. Mr. S.A. Sarnad informed the members that the notice was given will in advance to Shri P. Rajagopala chari for attending the working committee meeting and to bring the original papers of nomination letter (alleged) said to have been executed by Shri Ram Chandra Ji, the Founder President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission letter dated 23.3.1974 and 19.3.74. But, to our surprise neither he has attended the meeting nor he has brought the originals nor sent the originals through his brother and hence his claim in view of these circumstances is recommended to be rejected or cancelled but requested the member to give one more chance for amicable settlement and was further suggested that goodwill committee be formed to pursuate Shri P. Rajagopalachari for amicable settlement inorder to keep the solidarity in the Mission and to create a feeling of brotherhood and co-operation among the abhyasis of the Mission. However, this was further pointed out that inview of the latest nomination dated 16.4.1982 there is no need to go and consider this nomination (alleged) letter dated 23.3.1974. and it will be rightful attempt on the part of committee members for not to go inquestion of appointing a President and this dispute is settled and superceded the claim of Shri P. Rajagopalachari. In view of the above following resolution was passed ;
RESOLVED THAT “The claim of Shri P. Rajagopalachari vide his alleged nomination dated 23.3.1974 stands rejected/withdrawn”.
4. Shri S.A. Sarnad produced before the members a copy of the registered will dated 30.12.1976 and read the same before the members present. He also exclaimed that the registered will clearly states that our Revered Master Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj was having a doubt of the lost papers may not be used in future by the person who has stolen it. for making it as a nomination or will in his favour and the members of the house now suspects that the alleged nomination dated 23.3.1974 and a covering letter 19.3.1974 is the result from those lost papers, said to have been said in the registered will dated 30.12.1976 in view of the declaration/nomination letter dated 16.4.1982. Mr. P.C. Chadurvedi during observation and the circumstances of the case was of the opinion that the alleged nomination dated 23.3.74 and covering letter dated 19.3.74 is the result of forgery. Since the incidents explained in the letter dated 19.3.1974 and especially clarifies a doubt from the second para of the letter.
“I have issued a certificate which I am sending with this letter. Preserve this certificate as valuable document.”
It can be very well imagined that the nomination which is [illisible] to have been issued on 23rd March, 1974 how can this be sent with the covering letter 19.3.74”.
And further that as it is asserted in the letter in the first para of 19.3.74 that Mr. and Mrs. Don is doing excellent service, thanks to them”.
Mr. Umesh Chandra Saxena showed me a letter dated 9.4.1975 in which it is stated that Mr. and Mrs. Don were in India during second week of April and left for Canada on 17th April, 1975, who has been doing his nursing” With this proof, it is evident that there is something fishy of the claim of Shri. P. Rajagopalachari
RESOLVED THAT “Shri Umesh Chandra Saxena President Shri Ram Chandra Mission be and is hereby requested to form a new working committee with the help of Shri P.C. Chadurvedi, Senior member and to make the via media arrangement for the appointment of the Chairman of the working committee till the atmosphere/undertainity is made under control amicably by interference of the senior members and bringing Mr. P. Rajagopalachari to some understanding so that the split in the Mission is avoided.”
In view of the above, a good-will committee was suggested to the President and the suggestion given by the member was well accepted
6. Mr. Umesh Chandra Saxena was requested to handover the photocopy of the letter dated 5.5.1983 and 22.8.1983 alongwith the declaration/nomination dated 16.4.1982 to Shri S.A. Sarnad who inturn will inform the acceptance of the declaration/nomination of Shri. Umesh Chandra Saxena to all the members/preceptors/abhyasis/organisers regarding such nomination.
7. Mr. S.A. Sarnad was requested by the house to send the copy of the resolution and the minutes of the meeting is being held on 6th February and 7th February, 1984 to all its centres/preceptors/abhyasis the relevatn government authorities including assistant registrar Firms/Societies and Chits Baraily for making necessary change in records of Shri Ram Chandra Mission and to add the work Successor President in place after Founder President.
