Re: [HumJanenge] CIC to weed out (DESTROY) all case files after 6 months

It is short-sightness to presume that if a case is solved, the decision has became redundant.  Because of this fact, the decisions are being uploaded on the website as the  same decision will be applicable on the cases with similar facts and complaints.  Same will also be useful for CPIO/ Public Authorities as well as to the public.   Mr. Kamal Shah, I inform you that some decisions taken early, as I pointed out in my earlier emails, are not available on the website or say have been removed/ deleted.    The argument that a single fire can vanish this decision.  If we buy this argument, there is no need to maintain any records in any office.  This may also urge some vicarious minded person to ignate fire to get rid the records.  In income tax, we have seen fire in many years and that has caused loss of unimaginable amount to the govt. exchequre by way of being not able to follow tax  demands and cases in the court and IT tribunal.    I am going to write to CCIC for re-loading the removed and deletged decisions again on the CIC website.   If required, can also file an RTI appln raising query about the identify of the officials on whose orders old decision were removed from the website and some allied queries.  If some other members also undertake such an exercise, issue will carry more weight and seriousness.  --- On Sat, 5/2/11, Kamal Shah <kshah623@yahoo.co.in> wrote: From: Kamal Shah <kshah623@yahoo.co.in> Subject: Re: [HumJanenge] CIC to weed out (DESTROY) all case files after 6 months To: humjanenge@googlegroups.com Date: Saturday, 5 February, 2011, 2:00 PM It's perfectly ok once the decision is given by the CIC there is no need to sit on a paper jungle which can vanish with a single flame of fire . The  signed Orders should atleast be archived on the CIC website .

The matter was simultanously taken up to Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Wajahat Habibullah and his successor Mr. A. N. Tiwari besides Mr. Sharma. What will be the fate of this CIC order of 31st March, 2009?   Another case was filed by me on about FIVE Nmonths back. No date of hearing has been fixed. There is no hope for next 2-3 months of its hearing. What will be the fate of this case also?   There seems to be all round confusion.   Hari Goyal   31.01.2011   > Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 16:00:57 +0530 > Subject: [HumJanenge] CIC to weed out (DESTROY) all case files after 6 months > From: sroy.mb@gmail.com > To: humjanenge@googlegroups.com > > The CIC has decided that all case files older than 6 months shall be destroyed. > > (Source: Minutes of meeting dated 04.Jan.2011). > > Brought to you in public interest by your favourite moderator. > > Sarbajit
