RTI for citizens Right to Information: [rti_india] Appeal AC-572 of 2012 - Erroneous Order dated 22 May 2012

[Attachment(s) from Surendera M. Bhanot included below]

Mr. Surender Awathi

Hon'ble Information Commissioner

Punjab State Information Commission,

Chandigarh

Sir

Respectfully submitted/showeth,

Please refer to your order dated 22 May 2012 in case of Appeal AC-572 of 2012, copy of which is downloaded from the website of the Commission and is appended at the end of this mail.

There is another technical flaw in the order itself.

As per the order, the main order has been pronounced "in the open court" on 09.05.2012, while the post-script on the order has been shown to have made on 22.05.2012. This is apparent that the no care has been made while signing the order.

Otherwise also, there is no application of mind in this particular case (as already enumerated in my earlier two mails sent to your honor on 24.05.2012 and which were received in the commission vide Diary No. 8309 & 8310 on 25.05.2010 and were delivered to your honor, as confirmed from the registry of the commission.

This has prompted me to monitor all other orders passed by your honor for quality and efficacy thereof.

It may be reminded that HC SEVERELY INDICTED PUNJAB INFORMATION COMMISSIONER, SURINDER SINGH as order passed by him was without "JURISDICTION"

DIRECTIONS ISSUED TO STATE OF PUNJAB THAT BEFORE APPOINTMENT OF ANY PERSON, EXCEPT FROM THE LEGAL FIELD, AS INFORMATION COMMISSIONER, SUCH PERSONS MUST BE GIVEN RE-ORIENTATION TRAINING.
SURINDER SINGH MISUSED HIS POWERS.
HE ACTED LIKE A WRIT COURT WHILE DIRECTING THE DC, HOSHIARPUR TO SET UP AN ENQUIRY COMMITTEE FOR ENQUIRING INTO ALLEGATIONS OF EMBEZZLEMENT OF FUNDS BY EX-SARPANCH.
ORDER PASSED BY SURINDER SINGH IS WITHOUT JURISDICTION.

Please see the attached file titled as "HC on Surinder Singh Gill, Information Commissioner" for more broader view thereof.

I would also like to invite your Kind attention towards the WHITE PAPER issued on the working of the Punjab Information Commission attached as "White Paper on the working of SICP"

The is another file attached titled as "E-Book - 100 strange orders of SICP"
