NEW DELHI: Former additional solicitor general Indira Jaising ’s human rights advocacy firm, Lawyers Collective , has been served another notice under Section 23 of FCRA by the Ministry of Home Affairs, this time after an inspection of its records and accounts was carried out.Lawyers Collective has been given 30 days to reply to the latest notice from the day it was issued, that is, February 29. The organisation was earlier served a notice on November 5, 2015, when MHA had sought details of its bank accounts and foreign contributions it received since inception.Known for fighting human right violation cases, Jaising has represented activist Teesta Setalvad in an FCRA violation case against her Sabrang Trust and Citizens for Justice and Peace. She also represented former Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt in his applications for a SC-monitored SIT probe into FIRs filed against him by Gujarat Police. More recently, she was one of the lawyers to appear for JNU’s Kanhaiya Kumar Jaising said it was an attempt to defame her. When contacted by ET, she said that it was wrong for the government to share this information before she had exercised her right to reply. “I have complained to the home minister as this is also against Section 20 of FCRA that stipulates rules of confidentiality on any information obtained through inspection of accounts,” she said.She did not stop at home minister. “I again complained today to the home secretary and to Arun Jaitley , who himself is a well-known lawyer,” she said. Jaising said that she also sent a letter to the residence of home minister, complaining about “leaks” from the ministry. “I know that a joint secretary (JS) concerned in MHA – and I know who that is – who is giving out this information. I will deal with the issue legally,” Jaising said.“There is a due process of law and the government cannot be seen to undermine that very law which it claims to be enforcing. By attacking lawyers, the government is attacking the very right of legal representation which is a Fundamental Right,” she added.The home ministry had earlier alleged that her organisation had received foreign funds while she held the position of ASG between 2009-12. MHA said that receiving foreign funds while holding a government post was a violation of FCRA. It also alleged that she spent the funds on holding protests and rallies.
