The Ex-Moderator of this group - Mr Sarabjit Roy always says that "RTI is about asking for the right information". Please follow his advice and do the following.
1. File a RTI with DoPT and ask for a copy of the letter written by IC ANT, wherein this issue of seniority was argued at length by him in order to establish that he is the senior most.
2. Once you get that copy, check the date of that letter.
3. Then file 3 separate RTI applications, with the three different but *concerned* public authorities to find out what exactly happened in those PAs, during the time preceding that date.
The information you (hopefully) obtain will give you the sequence of events and the exact reasoning as to why IC ANT wrote that letter and that his appointment as CIC was predetermined a long long time ago.
By the way, future CIC appointments till 22 May 2014 have already been determined.

Mr Jam
Would you kindly explain where "ANT" has "argued at length as to how to seniority is to be established in the CIC".
Last year when the issue was raised over the relative seniority between commissioners Ansari and Tiwary for the limited purpose of settling the order of recording of names in CIC decisions, "ANT" cited a specific DoPT circular on the subject clarifying that the order of names in the Presidential warrant of appointment determined seniority and not the date of joining the CIC. It may be recalled that Tiwary was sworn in as commissioner later as he was asked to stay on at the persmin by the PM.
Mr Raminder,If he did not covet the position, there was no need for him to argue at length, as to how seniority is to be established in the CIC.The fact that both the Govt. and Opp. have agreed on ANT has nothing "remarkable" about it. It is merely the reiteration of the fact - you scratch my back today and I will scratch yours, the next time.RTIwanted

Tiwary did not want /covet the post of Chief Commissioner. It is for
protocol reasons that he had perforce to be elevated, since he is
senior to Satyananda Mishra and ranks higher in warrant of precedence
issued by President. other personal comments you have passed on Tiwary
are not realistic. The remarkable fact that both PM and LoO agreed to
Tiwary's appointment speaks about his personal integrity and respect
he enjoys.
