Re: [HumJanenge] Appointment of CIC in 2010

Dear Karira

You are starting at the wrong point in time.

Mr.ANT was slated to become the first C'IC. Unfortunately (for RTI
regime) Mr. Habibullah used his networking with No.10 (Janpath .. and
possibly Downing Street through MI6) to be appointed instead. In fact
the RTI ACt in 2005 was such an important legislation (at the time)
that ANT could not be relieved from DoPT till the Act was
operationalised.

Mr ANT fought it out later with MMA (???) on a point of principle. =
He was senior on all counts.
