(3.) The petitioner appearing in person submitted that the present FIR was an abuse of the process of law since no offence is made out in the present case against the petitioner. He submitted that he is reincarnation of Guru Nanak Dev Ji which can be proved by his current actions and spiritual knowledge. He submitted that he lives in an Ashram under the name of Satlok Ashram at Village Palakhi, Tehsil Indora, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh as a Guru and performs various duties alongwith his chelas and there is a danger to earth and its occupants and only a Guru can sense such threat and provide a complete solution. He submitted that his claim which is true that he is reincarnation of Guru Nanak Dev Ji does not amount to deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious sentiments of any class of people. The complainant is an office bearer of SGPC which is a political body and they are running 'Dharam Ki Industry'. He further submitted that there is only one religion/dharam i.e. Sanatan Dharam and all others in reality are 'Panths' and not religion. He also submitted that rather all the religions today are controlled by powerful lobbies and run as profitable industry and they exercise full control over world economics and politics and that is the reason as to why Avtars have to come time and again. He submitted that the God Almighty (Sahib Satsukrit Ji Maharaj) came as Sahib Kabir Ji alongwith his messenger Guru Nanak Dev Ji to transform and enlighten the people pertaining to spiritual knowledge and at present Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj is Avtar of Sahib Kabir Ji alongwith the present petitioner i.e. Sanjay Das as his messenger. Now the present petitioner is the present Avtar and the world has to follow 'One God, One Dharam and One Saint'. He further submitted that all the religions of the world are commanded and controlled by dharam industry purely for money and power. He also referred to some writings contained in Janam Sakhi Bhai Bale Wali and also referred to Annexure P-2, which is an extract taken from the aforesaid Janam Sakhi Bhai Bale Wali. He further referred to various other extracts from other books some of which are attached as Annexure A-3 which is stated to be titled as 'Shri Nanak Parkash (Kirat : Kavi Churhamani Bhai Santokh Singh)'. Another extract of one Sach Khand Ki Sakhi has been attached as Annexure A-4 in vernacular and while referring to the aforesaid writings, he stated that he had down loaded the same from the internet and submitted that the God is in form which means that God is a physical entity and people are going in wrong directions. While referring to the aforesaid writings, he submitted that it has been so stated that Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji will come in 4th Avtar and in this way, now the petitioner is the Avtar i.e. reincarnation of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Another reference has been made to a book namely, Sri Nanak Sahib Ki Praan Sangli which is published by Belvedere Printing Works, Allahabad wherein some of the words contained in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji have been translated and explained. In nutshell, the petitioner has submitted that he is reincarnation of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and all the existing religions are only commercial industries which work only for money and power whereas there can be only 'One God, One Dharma and One Saint'.
