Re: [HumJanenge] Appointment of CIC in 2010

Mr Sarbajit,

You might be right, but do you have the "records" to prove what you are saying ?

I only mentioned "facts" based on records obtained through RTI.

ANT did not want to be relieved from DoPT till he found a pliable

Jt. Secretary who willingly included his name, in the list sent to the selection committee.

I only wonder why Mr Consul did not become IC and why Ms. Alka Sirohi preferred

UPSC over CIC, although she was one of  the 214 applicants.

Maybe, as the old saying goes, we need some exceptions to prove the rule.

ANT may have won the battle for Chief, but MAA ended up getting higher salary and the tag of "guest of state".

Poor ANT was left in the lurch, fighting his case, now in Kerala High Court.

PS: By the way, do you have any idea if CIC is still footing ANT's legal bills ?

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.
