Re: [HumJanenge] RTI reply - a new trend

Dear Captain ,
RTI Act Works on the Idea & Ideal of the Citizen of This Country Being the Master and All Public servants , Servants of this Master . democracy is For ,by & To the people .
There fore If you Understand this Great Principle and Practice it , There should Not Be any Address as To the "PLEASE" Because the Public servant Works at The pleasure of the Master not Vice -versa .
If There are people Who want to scuttle the Act , We Should Not surrender to Such Persons But Fight them Effuciently
The question of One Being of or From same department , Kith Or kin Does not arise .
By Your Prefix I Understand you yourself Must be an Ex service man and Are kindly aware of the Age old proverb "every thing is Fair in love & War "
Since RTI act 2 005 Has a Preamble Which Speaks of "Containing Corruption and Hold the Govt's & its instrumentalities Accountable to the Governed  and  If Relavation of Information in actual Practice is Likely to conflict ..... etc and therefore it is Expedient to provide for Furnishing Certain Information to Citizen who desire to have it .
Therefore There is a conflict here  of the actual practice  and RTI Act 2006 Prevails .
Here as Per the Mail The seeker or requester is an retd Officer and He will Not be in possetion of the ID Card , since He will have surrenderd it at the time retirement .
Also If You Read the ID Card Will There be a mention or Any Mark , Etching or Any Indication that the Card Holder is an Citizen of India .
If I am the PIO i will Certainly Query this Next on your submission of the ID  Because  i am a dubting tom and want to carry effient Opertation of My JOB
Due Have any Counter to this line of argument

Dear friends / RTI activists,
 
I asked for some information from M/s Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd, a Government of India Undertaking under Ministry of Petroleum under RTI Act. I am enclosing copy of letter for information of all.
 
The gist of letter is as followes:
 
I quote:
 
In compliance with Sec 3 of Right to Information Act 2005, we request you to kindly send us the proof for citizenship like a copy of Election Identity Card, or a copy of tje Passport issued by Govt. of India or any document duly attested by a Notory Public / Executive magistrate to eable us to procede further.
 
Unquote.
 
I have sought information from many Cental Government Department, State Government Departments, and Public Sector Undertaking etc and so for none .have asked for proof of my Citizenship. This appear to be uncalled for and illigal new trend.
 
I would very much appreciate some advise - how should I procede further. 
 
warm regards / rangarajan
