On 18 November 2011, one of the RTI Activist, wrote to the Chief Information Commission, Punjab about the illegal and ultra-virus RTI Management Regulation of the Punjab Commission as per Delhi high Court Judgement dated 21 May 2010 and demanded its immediate RECALL.


The commission took notice of this demand and after 2 moths, the Full commission met on 18 January 2012 and took up this issue in its 11th meeting. This Item was the only agenda in the meeting and the commission has decided that:

ITEM NO.2: The request dated 18.11.2011 of Sh. Sanjay Kumar Mishra to recall the SIC, Punjab (Management) Regulations 2010. It was decided to have a fresh look at the State Information Commission, Punjab (Management) Regulation, 2010. For this purpose a Sub Committee will be constituted by the Chief Information Commissioner, Punjab. It will look into all aspects and submit its recommendations. 

Nothing transpired after that. 

Both these documents are attached. 

This is a serious matter as commission's management itself is on a explosive regulations and it may even put the entire working of the commission in jeopardy. 

A Commission which is required to instill a rule of order as far as the RTI Regime in Punjab is concerned, is itself is managing itself in an illegal manner. 

It looks that the Commission, mostly consisted of the retired bureaucrats, is still in a bureaucratic hang-over and is refusing to come to terms with the translucency law. 

Commission should sit up and take notice, lest the things explode. 

I am going to file a RTI Application with the Commission to find out what transpires on the issue.
