IMPORTANT NOTICE

Why the case?

My son, Nitin Jain, was IITJEE and AIEEE Topper in 2009 and won Gold Medal in three international Olympiads in Indonesia, Mexico and Iran. After declaration of IIT-JEE results, some coaching institutes misused the name of Nitin Jain through misleading advertisements and even now, such advertisements can still be seen on the internet.

These coaching institutes were asked to stop advertisements verbally and through legal notices in the beginning. Even our mobile number was published in a national daily by one coaching institute, on which we got calls from people all over country who wanted to know how much money we had taken from all these institutes for these advertisements. Even chief secretary of state government called me in June 2009 to ask me why I wasn't doing anything to stop these coaching institutes, to which I replied that they are not stopping despite the legal notices sent to them. Whenever I went to meet government officials, this matter would come to conversation. These advertisements have damaged our reputation in society. When we told the media about it, our version was not published. On the other hand false news items were published on the bidding of coaching institutes. Some media-persons told me that their management would not allow publishing of such news it as they get crores of rupees in advertisements from coaching institutes.

There has been no investigation from the police in this matter, despite various complaints from us. To answer the queries of the students and parents and to tell the truth to the general public we published a book "The Secret of my Success". A coaching institute even tried to get a stay on this book from Delhi High Court, which was dismissed. After that, we even received an email threatening us to stop the sales of book and also close this website. We also received a lot of suspicious calls and even a death threat. Fake profiles of Nitin were made on social networking sites such as Orkut and Facebook to malign Nitin's name and some young girls were even harassed in Nitin's name. Complaints about this were made to the Faridabad and Delhi police and CBI but no action was taken.

We have not take a single rupee from any coaching institute but there is a rumor that we have taken a lot of money from them and are now blackmailing them for more money. Even the Honorable Delhi High Court has passed a decision that a coaching institute run on commercial basis cannot commercially exploit the skill and talent of a minor. A coaching institute even maligned the image of prestigious institutes like IIT's by publishing advertisements stating "Our best students don't go to IIT's, they go to the world's best". This not only shows the IIT's as very low in world rankings, it also maligns the top-ranking students in IIT-JEE, unarguably the brightest in the country, most of whom join IIT's for further education.

Frustrated by the negative publicity and false accusations, and media and police inaction, we had to ultimately take the matter to the courts to seek justice. In the first hearing of the case, the Honorable Delhi High court has restrained the institutes from using the name of Nitin by any means. Unfortunately the unscrupulous coaching institutes have not followed even the orders of the Honorable Delhi High court and such advertisements can still be seen on their websites. We have sought damages from the court, and if the court decides in our favour, I will use most of it to help brilliant but needy students, who are not able to study due to lack of resources. I am actively pursuing this aim and important updates in the case will be posted here regularly.
