Dear Sarbjit

I could not believe what you wrote about Government removing the right of citizens to be heard in person while their appeals are being decided at the Central Information Commission. I then re-read the new rules and discovered you are absolutely correct. Spoke to an Information Commissioner who says that the entire procedure and changes for Central Information Commission"s procedure are based on CIC response to the draft rules which CIC agreed to at their meeting. I then asked if Sailesh Gandhi had agreed to this, and learned that Gandhi had also given his assent to all the CIC proposals, and that this was actually one of Gandhi"s suggestions to increase the disposal rate at CIC.

Dear "JP"

Many thanks for your kind words. The resistance is spreading. Just
today 2 stalwarts of RTI
movement have informed me that they are joining in to oppose these
rules. Mr.Babubhai Vaghela
 of Ahmedabad with his entire e-group on google, and also Mr Muzib-ur-
Rehman who has
so many landmark RTI orders in his own matters.

The biggest problem as I see it, is not the 250 word limit or 1
subject or forms for appeal etc
etc, or even the creation / institution of the Registry. It is this.

BY these Rules:

DoPT proposes to take away the fundamental right of an appellant to be
given opportunity of personal hearing and to confront his tormentors.
By these draft rules, if a 2nd appeal is admitted to the CI-
Commission, then the CIC can decide the appeal "in absentia", or by
calling the PIO or an advocate on behalf of the P/A and record their
submissions,
AND NO OPPORTUNITY WILL BE GIVEN TO THE APPELLANT TO REBUT OR SPEAK OR
BE HEARD.

Natural justice and fairness has been thrown out of the window,.

This is the worst kind censoprship, it is fascism, it recalls the dark
days of the Emergency, and it is high time
that the citizens speak up now, raise your voices, protest, or it will
be too late.
