Re: [IAC#RG] AS DEFIANT GOA CIC CONTINUES MISUSING RED BEACON, GOVT PUT ON NOTICE TO FACE CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS IN SUPREME COURT

Dear Aires

Our members should also know that Tendolkar has stated that being
equivalent in rank to a CENTRAL Election Commissioner he is able to
get away. His case is arguable because as CHIEF SIC he ranks equally
with a Central EC or Central Information Commissioner. The State ICs
rank pari-passu with the State Chief Secretary, and the concerned SC
Judgment allows parity.

But I'm sure you know all this and had factored it in.
