Congratulations. Keep it up. Govt. must comply by the mandatory provisions of Sections 12(5) and 15(5) of RTI Act, as the case may be. There is  a Madras High Court also on the provision, now in SLP before Supreme Court.

DELHI HIGH COURT ISSUES NOTICE FOR INITIATING CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS

 

APPOINTMENT OF A. N. TIWRI AS CHIEF INFORMATION COMMISSIONER

 

 

Yesterday, the Delhi High Court has issued a show-cause notice to the Secy. DoPT, Govt. of India to inform why contempt proceedings should not be started against him for non-compliance of its ourder?  The Court has asked to reply be 30th July on the pleadings made by Shri Prashant Bhushan.   The High Court had earlier ordered to fulfil the vacant posts of five Central Information Commissioner but the govt. has filled only 3 posts.

 

2.       Regarding the appointment of Chief Information Commissioner after the appointment of Shri A.N. Tiwari in second half of 2010, I, interalia, asked about the names of the short-listed candidates considered for the post and whether the short listing and selection criteria will be made public by uploading the same on the DoPT website or by other means. 

 

3.       On not getting any satisfactory reply, I filed appeal before the CIC which was to be heard on 25th April, 2012 by Shri Satyananada Mishra, Chief Information Commissioner. One day before that, on 24th April, I received a letter that the hearing has been postponed to 21st May and no reason of postponing the same has been given.  It may be possible that the DoPT may have sought postponement.  Now, let us see the outcome of the appeal on 21st.  This case is important.
