Re: [HumJanenge] AT LAST, TRUTH TRUMPHS – VICTIMAZATION OF RTI VOLUNTEER

Dear Shri MK Gupta,

Its a corrupt , corrupt and corrupt world.

In this world the corrupt survive, prosper and are adored.

No one will sing for a man in trouble, no one will side with a man in trouble, no one higher or junior will like to be seen as the fried of the one in trouble.

By writing  about your case you may get some smug satisfaction that its on the net and others have read about it. No one will ever take up your case he may be even Hazare, Kejriwal or Kiran. 

Why I write to you is that even I was a Whistle blower of financial irregularity in an Organisation whose Director I was. I had assisted the CAG of India in unearthing massive financial irregularity.  I whistle blew the  financial irregularities to the CVC of India. Bold step many may say.  

But what I got sudden suspension which continued for three and a half years. It ended only because the High Court quashed it as also the charge sheet on grounds of mala fides.

The story is long and boring.

The end result I was compulsorily retired as a major penalty cause of an ex parte Enquiry conducted by a retired judge of High Court who was paid almost Rs Five Lakhs. The charge sheet contained the same verbatim charges which had been quashed by the Court on grounds of mala fides , issued and signed by a Deputy Director of mine who had no statutory powers....... why bore you sir.

I approached the High Court  before even the Order of my compulsory retirement was passed but till now there has been no notice issued.

The Minister in charge is swayed by the vote banks, The CVC is only advisory. The CAG can not do anything.  All those whom you helped are scared to talk to you.

Moral : Do not fight corruption let dogs have the party and the feast. 
            Every dog has his day ( but you aren't a dog)
 
PS> Thanks . Incidentally I used your case CIC Ruling that the information can not be denied on the pretext of matter being sub judice but there they did not reply. I guess you can not fight dogs unless you are dog yourself and have a horde of dogs to side you in the hope of the feast.

AT LAST, TRUTH TRUMPHS – VICTIMAZATION OF RTI VOLUNTEER

 

M K Gupta, RTI volunteer

 

We have read about the murders of RTI volunteers for fighting against the corruption but there have been many cases wherein volunteers have to lose their jobs also.  In one such case of M K Gupta, it was alleged against him, "Actually, his bonafide are (sic) doubtful.  Hence such a persons (sic) cannot be put on duty."  He was removed from the job in April, 2008 on the aforesaid charge along with some other trivial charges.

 

When confronted and asked to substantiate the charge, Shri D.K. Das, CPIO, (now retd.) NSD, All India Radio pleaded that the file has been lost and therefore the charges cannot he substantiated. The CPIO went to the extent of writing false letter, registering false FIR apart from submitting three false affidavits before the Central Information Commission declaring that the file has been lost.

 

On the order of CIC, matter was inquired and as per finding, Shri Gita Ram, Sr. Administrative Officer and present CPIO concluded,  "……….. Hence it can be construed that no file was created." When no file was created, where was the question of its being lost? In his report and affidavit to the CIC, present CPIO has said that all the records are available in the office.

 

The struggle against corruption and transprancy in government's working by the RTI volunteers is not an easy one but the firm resolve of Gupta has exposed the injustice met to him.
