Re: [HumJanenge] DoPT deny to disclose the names considered for Chief of CIC

Dear Roy Sir, you view is unacceptable and without any logic .

If DOPT has disclosed information to other Members , why shouldn't it be disclosed to shri. M.K.Gupta now ? How  DOPT is right in this regard ?.

Regarding two, Wheter ANT was the only Candidate or not can only be known when DOPT disclose ALL  the information pertaining to his selection.What is meant by "no documents are available" . if that is so, how ANT was selected ?. Whatever may be the number of candidates, there must be some documents before making his appointment. His appointment from IC to Chief IC can't be automatic in terms section 12(3) of RTI Act-2005.

regards.

DOPT is absolutely right in denying you the information. I say this for following reasons.

1) DoPT has disclosed lots of information to other members on CIC / IC selection process.

2) In the case of ANT's selection as CIC - he was the ONLY candidate seriously considered.

DoPT deny to disclose the names considered for Chief of CIC   M K Gupta   What if the Nodal Agency to promote transprancy is not transparent itself and that too, on the appointments of Chief of Transprancy Panel i.e. CIC?  The Deptt. of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has denied information about the names of the short listed candidates considered for the post of Chief and selection criteria in Sept. 2010 when Mr. A. N.Tiwari was selected.  The FAA, Smt. Anuradha S. Chagti has stated that no documents are available on these points.    Interestingly, FAA has not given any reason about the non-existence of these documents i.e. are they missing or else and the reply is unconvincing.  To an RTI query by raised by M K Gupta, DoPT has also denied information about the shortlisting of other candidates too.    These were the queries which were also raised by the Hon'ble Supreme Court from the Govt. (DoPT) in the case of selection of Mr. P J Thomas as Chief Vigilance Commissoner who was shown the door by the Court for pending chargesheet against him.   Now, he has filed the second appeal to the CIC for information on the aforesaid points as he feels that atleast information on the names considered for the post must be disclosed.   Views are solicited from the expert members on the issue whether DoPT is right in denying the information.
