"5. In view of the above, order dated 22.12.2009, cannot be implemented as the aforesaid order is wholly without jurisdiction and is completely misuse of the powers conferred on State Information Commission. The State of Punjab is directed to conduct some orientation courses before appointing any persons especially outside the field of law to trained them with regard to their powers and functions."

In this judgement the Hon'ble P&H High Court had durected the state to conduct some orientation course BEFORE APPOINTING ANY PERSON [as Information Commissioner]. The catch is in the red letters.

01. Can an Information Commissioner be appointed under these directions?

02. How come the government will proved training BEFORE their appointment?

03. If appointed without training, us their appointed valid in view of the Hon'ble P&H High Court directions?

I am asking this information from the Punjab Government. The RTI Application is attached herewith.
