Featuring Exhibited Documents & Case Files — UAE Case

A bona fide Indian origin UAE Investor, the 'Decree Holder' of a Civil Lawsuit, who reported crimes such as trespassing and burglary at his office, was kidnapped, tortured, threatened, and subsequently detained for a long period, often in solitary confinement by a group of royal thugs.

The arrest and detention were against the basic principles of law. The Court expressed its shock while noticing that a victim who sought police help from trespassers was himself arrested and detained by the police.

Judgment of the 'Legal Court of First Instance' — 10 April 1996: The Judgment Creditor and his brother were acquitted. Key findings: (i) The policeman and Hassan Saeed committed offences of trespass and assault; (ii) The Judgment Creditor had only exercised his legal right; (iii) The police unjustifiably protected the trespassers; (iv) The Criminal Court observed that the Interim Judgment of the Abu Dhabi Civil Court ruled that the Judgment Creditor was the truly aggrieved person; (v) The conduct of police clearly proved malicious motives; (vi) The policeman indulged in illegal criminal acts due to greed, and police framed false charges to save face.

The prosecution filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Abu Dhabi. Despite bail being granted on the very day of appeal, the Judgment Creditor was not released from prison.

In the meantime, policeman Ahmed Abdulla Abdul Kadir filed a declaration before a Notary dropping his contentions. Hassan Saeed admitted guilt. Two other policemen submitted that they were misguided by Ahmed Abdulla Abdul Kadir in committing arrest and torture with a view to extort money.

Final Judgment of the Supreme Court — 19 May 1996: The Supreme Court declared the Judgment Creditor totally innocent. The case hoisted against him was wholly false, baseless and fabricated by the police for personal gains. The Prosecutor's conduct was strongly condemned. Referring to Islamic Law, the Supreme Court observed that "the law had honoured the man who protected his freedom, his honour, his property and his soul."

Yet another gross violation of Human Rights was the daring action of the Executive to deport the Judgment Creditor as if he were a convicted criminal, ignoring the concurrent judicial declarations of the Courts in UAE. While deporting him, the Executive Branch was well aware that the reason shown in the deportation order was against the truth.

The deportation order was prepared with false and fabricated statements to save face and simultaneously to avoid investigation and paying court-ordered reparations. The fraud was committed by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed, then Head of the State Security Apparatus, who retaliated by authorizing Administrative Decision No. 227/1996 — a forged deportation order that caused grave injury to the Judgment Creditor.

This case isn't just a legal failure — it is a blueprint for institutional betrayal. Forged court orders were used to forcibly dispossess the investor in direct violation of domestic and international law. These documents created a false criminal history, polishing its crime-free facade. It killed his credibility, buried court verdicts, and ensured his permanent ban from the country. And in doing so, they did not merely exile a man — they exiled justice itself.

The decision to deport Mr. Jabir was not taken in ignorance. It was an act of political preservation, executed by men in power with direct involvement in the case. The forgery of state records was deliberate and traceable to top leadership figures, including Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed, then Head of the State Security Apparatus. The deportation paved the way for a staggering state-backed heist.

This deprived him of the benefits of his lawfully obtained decrees, compelled him to abandon his established business concerns, real estate holdings, and other investments in the UAE. His companies, valued at over $100 million, were dismantled with surgical precision.

Over 800 real estate properties linked to the UAE's elite — including residential towers, showrooms, warehouses, and industrial complexes — were seized, their inventories looted, and corporate records erased through systemic fraud.

Mr. Jabir possessed what few victims of injustice can claim: documented proof, binding judgments, and judicial orders in his favour, including a 1996 Apex Court ruling and the fraudulent deportation order. So long as the forged records remain concealed and the perpetrators remain unpunished, this case stands as a lasting indictment of a state that transformed its justice system into a weapon of repression.

The Judgment Creditor fought for justice by invoking all legal remedies in India, including the High Court of Delhi and the Supreme Court, by filing a Writ Petition before the Supreme Court in 1996. The Supreme Court found merit in the case and suggested that the Delhi High Court could be approached under Article 226.

The Delhi High Court by its judgment dated 20-11-1997 directed the Government of India to settle the issue within two months of the date of the judgment.

After filing the 'Whistleblower Lawsuit' in the Supreme Court of India and the High Court of Delhi against the head of UAE, who perpetrated significant abuses, embezzlement of property, fraud, and other heinous crimes, a representation on 24-11-1997 regarding the proposed Extradition Treaty with UAE was submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. A copy was handed over in person to the then President of India, Shri K.R. Narayanan, during his official visit to Kerala in 1999.

India ratified the treaty with the UAE in 2000, but a country cannot extradite its nationals under the Extradition Treaty.

On reaching India in 1996, Mr. Jabir took the documented evidence of pain and suffering of hundreds of Al-Wathba prisoners to the United Nations and other International NGOs. The communication to the UN body, Geneva, helped improve the life of inmates in the most notorious prison in Abu Dhabi.

"Pressure was exerted on his head, neck and all over the body, his hands tied behind his back and his feet tied together and blindfolded. His mouth and nose were shut tight with rag clothes and traumatized. He cried for breath." This savage style of torture took place in Abu Dhabi in 1995 to extort money and valuables from a bona fide investor — our client — who, unfortunately, was born as an Indian.

The victim fell unconscious and was taken to Abu Dhabi Central Hospital Emergency. Treatment was made without removing the shackles, hands cuffed behind his back. Many X-rays were taken.

Our client was admitted to Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai, on the very day after his release from UAE Prison, where he was treated by multiple doctors including a psychiatrist. He was advised diabetic treatment due to pancreas disorder symptoms arising from the brutal treatment.

The client has been unsuccessful in getting sanction to pursue remedies in India against the offending State of UAE, which is responsible vicariously for the crimes, torts, and illegal actions of its officials. Under applicable provisions, the permission of the Government of India is needed to file a suit against a foreign country. The efforts to secure such permission entailed much time and expense.

The establishments of institutional arrangements for the welfare of 'Overseas Indian Community', as highlighted by the Government of India, are intentionally deceptive, untruthful and purport to demonstrate that there are procedural remedies or tactics. The following correspondence documents the systematic failure of Indian institutions to protect their own citizen.
