[IAC#RG] Oath given by Hon President of India and Governors

This has reference to the 2014 judgment by Hon SC regarding shifting of responsibility to courts for decision by bureaucrats .In this regard I invite attention to the articles in the constitution where Hon President of India takes oath to protect preserve and defend constitution and law and consequences of breach is severe ie impeachment .This oath is equally applicable to the subordinates of the Hon President as well as subordinates of Hon governors.But the the subordinates more often violate the law and constitution while framing rules and regulation or executive instruction and for breach of constitution and law they are not made accountable.There are thousands of judgments by Hon SC that constitution and law is vilolated but bureaucrats still frame rules regulations instructions etc not only violating law but also violating fundamental rights
I have submitted a petition to Hon President HonCVC and Hon CM Kerala to administer similar oath to all departmental heads to protect preserve and defend constitution and law and in case of breach to suffer a  deterrent punishment Now the bureaucracy is making rules and regulation as well as law in casual manner and sending citizens to courts thereby wasting precious time of courts as well as public monet.

Dear All,

As tour operator myself, i know its difficult to get Tatkal tickets. Agents can not book the tatkal tickets now.

When i needed a tatkal ticket for my personal travel, i have to go the Railway station myself by 2 AM so that i can confirm my position in queue ahead. You will get the tickets if you are between 1 - 5 in the queue. I think the tickets are sold out coz there are a very few tickets available comparing to the hundreds people who are waiting to get Tatkal tickets at different railway station. We may be at 20 oe 24 in our queue but others are also issuing tickets from all over the country for the same train.

Hope this may help to light some information. Well, this my view on this matter and if am wrong you are free to correct me.

Thanks

I had an experience yesterday when my daughter went to the Haldwani Railway station to get here Tatkal ticket booked. She left at 8 to see that she could get a ticket by standing in a queue.
There was no queue instead a person was giving the sl no of  your umber . She got No 24 and 25 for the two tickets that she had to book for the morning train. She was told to come back at 10 when the line was in place.
We could not get the tickets but it shows that the initial numbers are of those who manipulate the system as there was no one at the station at that time.

"You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true....."

[IAC#RG] Fwd: Child Rights are Shams in India

The basic underlying philosophy of primary education is that it should foster ethical and moral values in the child so they can become ethical and responsible citizens of the nation, which help in nation building.  This is the true goal of education and for this basic reason so much emphasis is given to primary education. It is primarily education, which makes humans different from animals and teach them to live in society peacefully. For living peacefully in society, human must have respect and love for others. Person can respect and love others if they have sound ethical and moral value and these values are nurtured through primary education.

 

The role of higher education is although in tandem with primary education but more complicated and comprehensive. Role of higher education is not readily comprehensible by ordinary human. But to put in simple words it can be said that role of higher education is to make person more responsible and ethical towards the society. The person who is highly educated should always work towards betterment of the society, nation and world. They should make a world a better place to live on. Persons who are highly educated should sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the society and world. For this reason higher education is meant for only few persons that is for those whose mind are highly developed and they think for society rather than for self.

 

But most of us are totally unaware of the role of education. They think higher education is a way to earn higher pays/salaries. Most of us tie our selfish means with education and therefore are ready to do anything for getting higher education. For these reasons, fees of institution providing higher education are so high. On the other hand person after getting higher education, person runs blindly after money. So all these things have resulted in commercialization of education.

 

In this blind run we also want to put primary education in align with these materialistic and selfish goal. We often think that only role of primary education is to develop base for higher education. However this thinking is totally wrong, frivolous and selfish. It is again stressed that role of primary education is to develop responsible and ethical citizen for nation who care and respect others. If humans cannot live peacefully among themselves then how can societies be sustained for long run? There would always be quarrel, war, crimes, inequality, distress, hue and cry, etc. And this is what happening nowadays. For the very same reason, nowadays the researchers and academicians as a solution to all these non–ending problems have prominently turned their attention on disciplines like social responsibility, philanthropy, corporate responsibility, ethics, etc.

 

No doubt that primary education build base for higher education but this is not only objective of primary education. It is one of the many objectives of primary education. As many countries have understood this concept so they have made failing in the primary school illegal and treat it as corporal punishment since these practices will hinder the growth and development of child. As per UNICEF discipline is necessary but discipline should not be achieved through punishments. If punishments are given to children, then wrong and unethical feeling develops in children and they start thinking that coercion and force is one of the effective ways to achieve means. Building of this tendency in childhood is very wrong and unethical.

 

In India, there is little awareness about education and we Indians think that education is a way to earn higher pays and salaries so we blindly run for it without knowing the true value of education. For this reason many of people are still debating Right to Education Act because they think that if children are barred from failing in primary classes so how can their base is developed for higher education and how can they compete in higher education. But all these conceptions are baseless. Higher education is only meant for those beautiful and natural minded people who want to sacrifice themselves for the welfare of society and nation and not for everyone. However we think off higher education as a way to earn high pays and salaries and for this reason we put undue pressure on our children, unaware of the fact that they are not made for it. Even if these children can get higher education then they will not prove beneficial for anyone. They tend to misuse their capability and capacity and as a consequence there is widespread of corruption in a nation. As we observed that how many of Indian official sitting at higher post are levied with charges of corruption.  Therefore obtaining higher education just for selfish reason is not going to benefit anyone. So the solution is to give primary education to everyone and higher education should be reserved only for children who have shown and developed extra ordinary capabilities during primary education and develop them in such a way so they become useful asset for the nation. This is very thorough and comprehensive responsibility, which can only be achieved through combined efforts of government, educational institution and citizens.

 

With such philosophy it is totally wrong to fail any child during primary education since by doing this we are doing wrong against our nation since we are hindering in development of child into ethical and responsible citizen. Supreme Court had done wrong in exempting unaided minority institutions from Right to  Education Act since in this way they have give power to unaided minority school to fail or expel the child studying in their school which is totally wrong, unethical, unjust and against the interest of the nation.

Today Schools have become the most commercial establishments to mint money without doing their job.There is a need to monitor the strengths and weaknesses of every child as a part of their curriculum . 
 In such cases Teachers  also need to be made Accountable , Responsible and above all Transparent  to bring out the valid reasons for their  failure particularly in academics . The most important is to seek the opinion of  the School Authorities that how far the change will come  by not  promoting  the child if they do not have required  strengths .

Ankit, here I would clarify you that not all children become doctors, engineers, etc. The higher education is only for the students who wish to obtain it, and it should only be given on merit basis. However the goal of primary education is not to acquire special knowledge but to make children a responsible citizens of a country who are aware of their rights and duties. By learning complex formula in mathematics or science one would not become responsible citizen of country. If this would happen then all officials sitting at higher posts would have been very honest, responsible and sincere. But this is not case. The role of primary education is to culminate ethical values in child. The role of primary education is completely different from higher education. Foreign countries have understood this concept so they have make primary education compulsory and expressly barred failing of student in primary classes and treating it as corporal punishment. But in India, philosophy is different. People in India still think that role of primary education is to prepare children for higher education. But people fail to understand that this role is only one of the many roles of primary education. We have copied the concept of Right to Education from foreign but still do not know its basic underlying philosophy therefore still debating this concept.

Yes the valid reason for the failure may be questioned but 1st promoting the child without his/her strength then demanding reservation for the child is the ill logic.

They can expel the children from their schools; they can give punishment to children of primary classes by failing them and not promoting them to next classes. And all these illegal and unethical acts are held to be legal by our courts. In a recent case is The Frank Anthony Public School, Lajpat Nagar – IV, New Delhi – 110024 – an unaided minority school has failed a child named Himanshu Pandey (12 years old) in class VII.

CIC provides face saving cover to DoPT–Pankaj Shreyaskar giving
marching orders without inquiry

1.      Consequent upon PMO reference regarding the conspiracy of illegal retention of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar in CIC by unauthorisedly encadring his post by DoPT even after Shri V. Narayanasamy, Hon'ble Minister of State (PP) had rejected the request for his continuation in CIC after 6-6-2012, the CIC has at last issued marching orders to Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar on 24-2-2014 and directed him to report after 7-3-2014 to his parent cadre in the Ministry of Statistics and P.I.

2.  This is the second relieving order issued for him by CIC, the earlier one dated 6-6-2012 was neither implemented nor cancelled. Even his transfer order dated 28-5-2012 issued by his cadre controlling authority posting him in the Home Ministry was not implemented because of the influence he was wielding in the corridors of powers.

3.   Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar is facing number of allegations right from forging of documents, unauthorised removal of notesheets and documents from his personal file, fraudulently obtaining admission to regular Ph.D in JNU while NOC was issued by the competent authority for doing Ph.D on Part-time basis. Interestingly, there is no such Part-time Ph.D course in JNU. He is stated to have been attending classes in JNU since August 2013 from 9.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. (Monday to Friday), while he has also been attending CIC office during same office hours till last month. Magically, he was present at both places simultaneously till we made complaint to Hon'ble Prime Ministry about the ongoing conspiracy and thereafter, he proceeded on leave.

4.   The present relieving order for Pankaj Shreyaskar sent to the Director, Indian Statistical Service, MoSPI, has been issued by the CIC without holding any inquiry into the aforesaid alleged manipulations and corrupt practices of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar thereby also providing a face saving cover to the DoPT for the illegalities committed by the DoPT in overreaching the order of its own Minister so as to manipulate the illegal continuation of Pankaj Shreyaskar in the CIC at the behest of a lobby of vested interests.

5.     The PMO reference and the response of the CIC are contained in the attached file. The response of the CIC to the PMO reference is quite diplomatic and conciliatory. CIC needs to be tough and transparent in such matters.

BY EMAIL

21-July-2012

Respected Sir

I am caused to represent about the perverse and arbitrary listing of cases before your goodself for disposal when it concerns high level Respondents and the role of Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar in this.

I am caused to represent to you by a letter addressed to yourself by one Mr. C.J.Karira dated 16.July.2012 which I have appended below, and which makes pointed allegations against Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar and other CIC officers, but mainly against Mr.Shreyaskar.

As the details of "status" of complaints and appeals at the Central Information Commission is in the public domain, the citizens are pained to observe that your Registry is deliberately delaying hearing the appeals and complaints involving high profile Respondents. It is an open secret that Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar is the person to be approached in the CIC to ensure that cases are delayed, files are lost or frivolous objections are raised. It is also an open secret that Mr.Shreyaskar, who has curiuosly been posted in Delhi at the CIC since as long as I can remember, was brought in by Mr.Wajahat Habibullah for the purpose of obfuscating and delaying high profile RTI requests when the previous officer, Dr. Munish Kumar, declined to be as pliable as Mr.Habibullah desired.

By way of example, let me cite an instance concerning Mr. Subhash Chandra Agrawal. In Feb/March 2011 Mr. Agrawal filed 3 or 4 2nd Appeals to you and also Smt. Sushma Singh. . Smt. Sushma Singh disposed of Mr. Agrawal's 3 cases within 3 months. On the other hand Mr. Agrawal's matter before yourself concerning the National Advisory Council was delayed for over 15 months and was only disposed of last week. 

Another such example is how Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar and Mr. Habibullah between them ensured that 2nd appeals against the CBI concerninmg the QUATTROCHI investigations were never listed for disposal and files were repeatedly "lost" and CIC's computer records tampered with. After Mr. Habibullah demitted office, the "ruling powers" were constrained to ensure that CBI was taken out of RTI ambit to preclude the QUATTROCHI files from being disclosed under RTI process.

The inescapable conclusion is that something is very rotten in the Registry Section(s) of the Central Information Commission. Kindly take urgent steps to resolve such problems for the future. As a precondition, it would be desirable if Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar's excessively long stay in Delhi at the Commission is shortened in the larger public interest and so that reform can go through.

I would be obliged if this email is acknowledged.

yours sincerely

As you can see from the above table, these have been pending for more than two and a half years !
 
If anyone in the Commission had bothered to open these complaints and even glanced at them casually, he would have realized the effort I have put in to prepare these complaints – each Complaint took me at least 3 to 4 days.
 
Firstly, these Complaints were "lost" by Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar, when he was Dpty. Registrar to the Ex CIC, Mr Wajahat Habibullah.
 
I was asked to resubmit the Complaints. The resubmitted Complaints were once again "lost". These were finally registered by Mr Vijay Bhalla, the present Dpty. Registrar.
 
I have tried my best to meet everyone from the Chief Information Commissioner in the Commission (including ex Chiefs Mr Habibullah and Mr Tiwari and yourself), Secretary (the past Secretary and the present Secretary), The Additional Secretary, Registrars, Designated Officers and Clerks, repeatedly and on several occasions even outside the Commission. I have written innumerable letters, emails and repeated reminders. But nothing has happened.
 
Since you became the Chief Information Commissioner in January 2011, I have met you in person, several times on this issue as well as sent written letters and reminders. Based on these, you have issued instructions to your officers and staff – but they have even disobeyed and disregarded your own instructions.
 
On December 28, 2011 while conducting a hearing against Ten High Courts on Section 4 suo moto disclosure, in the presence of at least twenty people, you instructed Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti, Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar and Mr Vijay Bhalla – to read these complaints, prepare a comparative chart and put up before you within 15 days. More than six months have passed, but they have still not done so.
 
During my last conversation with Mr Vijay Bhalla, about a month ago, I was informed that if he lists these long pending Complaints, Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar are threatening him that there will be "Contempt of Court", since there is a stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in relation to WP(C) 3530 of 2012, Order dated 23.05.2011 .
 
 
I have personally read that stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court and it is obvious that the both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar are trying to shelter behind this particular stay order so that they can hide their inefficiency, lethargy and corrupt practices.
 
The stay order has nothing to do with the subject matter of my above long pending Complaints and it is clear that both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar have neither read any of my Complaints and nor have they understood the stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.
 
The only conclusions I can draw from this bitter experience is:
 
1.   That your officers and staff are corrupt and amenable to extraneous influences since they have intentionally lost these complaints twice and have also disobeyed your repeated instructions.
 
2.   Your officers and staff and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar in particular, have some malicious vendetta against me because of which they are intentionally and deliberately trying to block the listing of these Complaints since 30 months.
 
3.   The officers and staff of the Commission are influenced by the "name and fame" of the complainant, since I have proof that other Complaints against the same public authorities, which have been filed much later than my complaints, have already been listed, heard and orders passed. Your officers and staff are therefore discriminating against me on the basis of some unknown reasons.
 
4.   Your officers and staff are disobedient to the extent that they do not even follow and obey your own instructions. Under Section 12(4) of the RTI Act 2005, "the general superintendence, direction and management of the affairs of the Central Information Commission" vests in you. It is a sad that the officers and staff of the Commission fail to abide by the instructions of even the Chief Information Commissioner himself, who is the head of the Commission.
 
5.   The Central Information Commission does not follow the "first come first served" principle in listing of Complaints. Your officers and staff are lethargic and oblivious of this principle of fair play OR are corrupt to the extent that they list matters pertaining to appellants/complainants because they have been "influenced" and "bought over" by vested interests.
 
I am present in Delhi on the 18th July 2012 for a hearing of four cases by your good self and request you for a personal meeting to resolve this issue once and for all.
 
Sadly, I have to state that this is the last attempt I am making to get these long pending cases listed and heard, because as you would have realized by now, the whole experience has been totally frustrating, bitter and a waste of time for me. Rather than waste my limited resources on the corrupt, inefficient, lethargic, incompetent, disobedient and insubordinate officers and staff of the Commission, it would be better if I spent them on training Citizens and PIOs in using the RTI Act properly and correctly - at least they have ears !
 
 
Thanking You,

CIC provides face saving cover to DoPT–Pankaj Shreyaskar giving
marching orders without inquiry

1.      Consequent upon PMO reference regarding the conspiracy of illegal retention of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar in CIC by unauthorisedly encadring his post by DoPT even after Shri V. Narayanasamy, Hon'ble Minister of State (PP) had rejected the request for his continuation in CIC after 6-6-2012, the CIC has at last issued marching orders to Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar on 24-2-2014 and directed him to report after 7-3-2014 to his parent cadre in the Ministry of Statistics and P.I.

2.  This is the second relieving order issued for him by CIC, the earlier one dated 6-6-2012 was neither implemented nor cancelled. Even his transfer order dated 28-5-2012 issued by his cadre controlling authority posting him in the Home Ministry was not implemented because of the influence he was wielding in the corridors of powers.

3.   Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar is facing number of allegations right from forging of documents, unauthorised removal of notesheets and documents from his personal file, fraudulently obtaining admission to regular Ph.D in JNU while NOC was issued by the competent authority for doing Ph.D on Part-time basis. Interestingly, there is no such Part-time Ph.D course in JNU. He is stated to have been attending classes in JNU since August 2013 from 9.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. (Monday to Friday), while he has also been attending CIC office during same office hours till last month. Magically, he was present at both places simultaneously till we made complaint to Hon'ble Prime Ministry about the ongoing conspiracy and thereafter, he proceeded on leave.

4.   The present relieving order for Pankaj Shreyaskar sent to the Director, Indian Statistical Service, MoSPI, has been issued by the CIC without holding any inquiry into the aforesaid alleged manipulations and corrupt practices of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar thereby also providing a face saving cover to the DoPT for the illegalities committed by the DoPT in overreaching the order of its own Minister so as to manipulate the illegal continuation of Pankaj Shreyaskar in the CIC at the behest of a lobby of vested interests.

5.     The PMO reference and the response of the CIC are contained in the attached file. The response of the CIC to the PMO reference is quite diplomatic and conciliatory. CIC needs to be tough and transparent in such matters.

BY EMAIL

Respected Sir

I am caused to represent about the perverse and arbitrary listing of cases before your goodself for disposal when it concerns high level Respondents and the role of Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar in this.

I am caused to represent to you by a letter addressed to yourself by one Mr. C.J.Karira dated 16.July.2012 which I have appended below, and which makes pointed allegations against Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar and other CIC officers, but mainly against Mr.Shreyaskar.

As the details of "status" of complaints and appeals at the Central Information Commission is in the public domain, the citizens are pained to observe that your Registry is deliberately delaying hearing the appeals and complaints involving high profile Respondents. It is an open secret that Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar is the person to be approached in the CIC to ensure that cases are delayed, files are lost or frivolous objections are raised. It is also an open secret that Mr.Shreyaskar, who has curiuosly been posted in Delhi at the CIC since as long as I can remember, was brought in by Mr.Wajahat Habibullah for the purpose of obfuscating and delaying high profile RTI requests when the previous officer, Dr. Munish Kumar, declined to be as pliable as Mr.Habibullah desired.

By way of example, let me cite an instance concerning Mr. Subhash Chandra Agrawal. In Feb/March 2011 Mr. Agrawal filed 3 or 4 2nd Appeals to you and also Smt. Sushma Singh. . Smt. Sushma Singh disposed of Mr. Agrawal's 3 cases within 3 months. On the other hand Mr. Agrawal's matter before yourself concerning the National Advisory Council was delayed for over 15 months and was only disposed of last week. 

Another such example is how Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar and Mr. Habibullah between them ensured that 2nd appeals against the CBI concerninmg the QUATTROCHI investigations were never listed for disposal and files were repeatedly "lost" and CIC's computer records tampered with. After Mr. Habibullah demitted office, the "ruling powers" were constrained to ensure that CBI was taken out of RTI ambit to preclude the QUATTROCHI files from being disclosed under RTI process.

The inescapable conclusion is that something is very rotten in the Registry Section(s) of the Central Information Commission. Kindly take urgent steps to resolve such problems for the future. As a precondition, it would be desirable if Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar's excessively long stay in Delhi at the Commission is shortened in the larger public interest and so that reform can go through.

I would be obliged if this email is acknowledged.

yours sincerely

Dear Sir,
 
RE: LONG PENDING COMPLAINTS IN THE CENTRAL INFORMATION
      COMMISSION
 
Sir, for the last one year and on several occasions, I have brought to your notice my various Complaints which are long pending in the Commission.
 
Although you have given verbal instructions to various officers and staff, in my presence, to list these on a priority basis, it seems that your officers and staff are continuously trying to delay the listing of these complaints on one pretext ore the other.

As you can see from the above table, these have been pending for more than two and a half years !
 
If anyone in the Commission had bothered to open these complaints and even glanced at them casually, he would have realized the effort I have put in to prepare these complaints – each Complaint took me at least 3 to 4 days.
 
Firstly, these Complaints were "lost" by Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar, when he was Dpty. Registrar to the Ex CIC, Mr Wajahat Habibullah.
 
I was asked to resubmit the Complaints. The resubmitted Complaints were once again "lost". These were finally registered by Mr Vijay Bhalla, the present Dpty. Registrar.
 
I have tried my best to meet everyone from the Chief Information Commissioner in the Commission (including ex Chiefs Mr Habibullah and Mr Tiwari and yourself), Secretary (the past Secretary and the present Secretary), The Additional Secretary, Registrars, Designated Officers and Clerks, repeatedly and on several occasions even outside the Commission. I have written innumerable letters, emails and repeated reminders. But nothing has happened.
 
Since you became the Chief Information Commissioner in January 2011, I have met you in person, several times on this issue as well as sent written letters and reminders. Based on these, you have issued instructions to your officers and staff – but they have even disobeyed and disregarded your own instructions.
 
On December 28, 2011 while conducting a hearing against Ten High Courts on Section 4 suo moto disclosure, in the presence of at least twenty people, you instructed Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti, Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar and Mr Vijay Bhalla – to read these complaints, prepare a comparative chart and put up before you within 15 days. More than six months have passed, but they have still not done so.
 
During my last conversation with Mr Vijay Bhalla, about a month ago, I was informed that if he lists these long pending Complaints, Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar are threatening him that there will be "Contempt of Court", since there is a stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in relation to WP(C) 3530 of 2012, Order dated 23.05.2011 .
 
 
I have personally read that stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court and it is obvious that the both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar are trying to shelter behind this particular stay order so that they can hide their inefficiency, lethargy and corrupt practices.
 
The stay order has nothing to do with the subject matter of my above long pending Complaints and it is clear that both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar have neither read any of my Complaints and nor have they understood the stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.
 
The only conclusions I can draw from this bitter experience is:
 
1.   That your officers and staff are corrupt and amenable to extraneous influences since they have intentionally lost these complaints twice and have also disobeyed your repeated instructions.
 
2.   Your officers and staff and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar in particular, have some malicious vendetta against me because of which they are intentionally and deliberately trying to block the listing of these Complaints since 30 months.
 
3.   The officers and staff of the Commission are influenced by the "name and fame" of the complainant, since I have proof that other Complaints against the same public authorities, which have been filed much later than my complaints, have already been listed, heard and orders passed. Your officers and staff are therefore discriminating against me on the basis of some unknown reasons.
 
4.   Your officers and staff are disobedient to the extent that they do not even follow and obey your own instructions. Under Section 12(4) of the RTI Act 2005, "the general superintendence, direction and management of the affairs of the Central Information Commission" vests in you. It is a sad that the officers and staff of the Commission fail to abide by the instructions of even the Chief Information Commissioner himself, who is the head of the Commission.
 
5.   The Central Information Commission does not follow the "first come first served" principle in listing of Complaints. Your officers and staff are lethargic and oblivious of this principle of fair play OR are corrupt to the extent that they list matters pertaining to appellants/complainants because they have been "influenced" and "bought over" by vested interests.
 
I am present in Delhi on the 18th July 2012 for a hearing of four cases by your good self and request you for a personal meeting to resolve this issue once and for all.
 
Sadly, I have to state that this is the last attempt I am making to get these long pending cases listed and heard, because as you would have realized by now, the whole experience has been totally frustrating, bitter and a waste of time for me. Rather than waste my limited resources on the corrupt, inefficient, lethargic, incompetent, disobedient and insubordinate officers and staff of the Commission, it would be better if I spent them on training Citizens and PIOs in using the RTI Act properly and correctly - at least they have ears !
 
 
Thanking You,
