Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi sits to adjudicate on
relative rights of various persons arising from a Central legislation.
*The Central Information Commission is a creation of statute, and every
action of Mr Gandhi must be only within the 4 corners of that statute.*
When an individual Commissioner repeatedly disagrees over interpretation of
the statute with each of his brother Commissioners (and officers of the
Commission) and incorporates his disagreement publicly in his orders, it
makes the functioining of the Commission impossible.
Justice Sanghi on receiving several separate Writ Petitions against Mr
Gandhi controversial orders has come to the correct conclusion and
strictured Mr. Shailesh by name to highlight the seriousness of Mr.
Gandhi's impropriety. While that case was being heard Mr. Chakravarti
(JS-Law) was present in the court and had no answByer to Courts' query why
Chief Commissioner was not intervening to withdraw cases from Mr. Gandhi. *Mr
Chakravarti assured Court he would pass on Court's suggestion to withdraw
cases from Mr. Gandhi.*
This is the incident resulting in CIC withdrawing cases from Mr. Gandhi.
Mr. Gandhi then approaches Chairperson UPA. The circular is made to
disappear. Mr. Gandhi then victimises Mr. Chakravarti and other CIC
officers making them approach High Court for stay.
-- By the logic of this post, anything done by Wajahat Habibullah(being 1st Info Comm) becomes gospel truth and nothing can be done to undo his sins.
Would you please elaborate where did you find anything done by Mr. Gandhi, which was outside 4 corners of statute? I can show you many instances of other commissioners violating 4 corners of statute.
I hope you have read that Mr Singhi has also appreciated the fact that Mr. Gandhi also has a right of his opinion.
It would be interesting to know the source of your information where cases were withdrawn from Mr. Gandhi and he apporached UPA chairperson and the mysterious circular. Please do not shoot in dark...
