CASE DIARY: UAE'S DELIBERATE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, STATE-ORCHESTRATED FRAUD, AND NON-ENFORCEMENT OF APEX COURT JUDGMENT.
Jabir v. UAE: On 19 May 1996, the Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal (Appeal No. 188/1996) issued a landmark judgment fully acquitting Mr. P.K. Jabir and his brother, Mr. Abdul Jabbar, of fabricated charges of resisting a public officer and assault. The court exposed a conspiracy by plaintiff Mr. Hasan Saeed Hasan and police officer Ahmed Abdullah Abdul Kadir, who falsely accused the appellees to justify unlawful detention and assault. Eyewitnesses, including Mr. Saleem Raza, Mr. Zulfiqar Ali, and Mr. Shirban Kalobar, confirmed the appellees’ innocence, detailing police brutality and racially charged aggression by the officer, who wielded a one-meter iron rod and shouted derogatory insults. The court condemned the detention as a “forcible abduction” under Articles 2 and 3 of the Penal Procedure Code, ordering an urgent investigation into the culprits’ crimes of assault, perjury, and misuse of power.
Despite this directive, UAE authorities systematically obstructed enforcement. On 28 September 1996, Mr. Jabir, a lawful resident of 18 years and sole investor, was illegally deported under Administrative Decree No. 227/1996, issued by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed, then head of the State Security Apparatus, and executed by Captain Hamad Ahmed of Abu Dhabi Police. The deportation relied on forged documentation falsely implying criminal liability, circulated across Immigration Authorities and Criminal Registries to fabricate legitimacy. Executed covertly, it denied Mr. Jabir any opportunity to contest, constituting judicial contempt. His visa was arbitrarily canceled, his passport marked “No Entry,” and he was defamed with baseless criminal allegations, effectively exiling him.
Concurrently, Mr. Jabir’s business empire, valued at over $100 million, was expropriated. His firms, Ramlah Electro-Mechanical Est. and Premier General Contracting Est., managing over 800 elite properties, were seized, along with corporate offices, showrooms, warehouses, an industrial complex, inventories, and commercial properties tied to the UAE’s ruling elite, including the ruler’s private office and Oil & Gas Sector. This economic injustice violated Article 300-A of the Indian Constitution and international property rights protections.
Evidence suggests a high-level conspiracy led by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed and Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed, then Director General of Abu Dhabi Police, to shield state officials from scrutiny. Forged records, fabricated allegations, and systemic fraud across state institutions reveal deliberate intent to crush human rights and ignore court orders. The court-mandated investigation into the culprits’ misconduct was terminated, and Mr. Jabir faced relentless oppression, including reputational harm and denial of legal recourse.
This case exposes a grave breach of UAE's constitutional obligations, the Penal Procedure Code, and international human rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This case is a stark indictment of a system that turns justice into a tool of oppression, undermining the UAE’s credibility as a rule-of-law state. The exile of Mr. Jabir is an open wound on the UAE’s judicial integrity and its obligations under international law. The international community must act to expose the perpetrators, restore the truth, and deliver justice for a man whose life was stolen by a state’s betrayal. ... Main Case Exhibits (Reg.
