Re: [rti4empowerment] PENDENCY AT CIC

Dear Guptaji

There is only 1 way to reduce pendencies. You know very well what it
is but cannot say so in public.

1) REDUCE the number of RTIs filed.
2) ENSURE that as much info is given by the PIOs at the first instance
without compromising the exemptions. (Do this by hammering the errant
PIOs).
3) ENSURE that FAAs do their job properly.(Do this by hammering the errant FAAs)
4) ENSURE that only genuine 2nd Appeals are filed at CIC (Do this by
hammering the undeserving appellants)

Unfortunately what is happening now is that with 1, 2 and 3 not
happening, only appellants are getting hammered at CIC in stage 4.
