Sir,
Please accept my comments on the Draft "Citizens Right to Grievance
Redress Bill, 2011"

2(k)(iv)(E): Please replace company with company/organization/entity.
2(k)(v): please correct spellings of moemrandum as memorandum
6(1): Please mention time limit for obligation under this section.
12: Please increase time for filing appeals with the commission from
one month to two months
16 last para: Please change the following para from 'Provided that the
State Government will prescribe criteria in addition to the above for
the appointment of the Chief Commissioner' to 'Provided that the State
Government shall prescribe specific criteria in addition to the above
for the appointment of the Chief Commissioner'

20(3): Change the following para from 'The State Government may, by
rules, regulate the procedure for the investigation of misbehaviour or
incapacity of the aforesaid Chief Commissioner or Commissioners' to
'The State Government shall, by rules, regulate the procedure for the
investigation of misbehaviour or incapacity of the aforesaid Chief
Commissioner or Commissioners'.

25(2): Please change the following para from 'The State Public
Grievance Redressal Commission may impose penalty in deciding an
appeal against designated officer (s) and Grievance Redress Officers
for acting in a malafide manner or having failed to discharge their
duties without any sufficient and reasonable cause' to 'The State
Public Grievance Redressal Commission shall impose penalty in deciding
an appeal against designated officer (s) and Grievance Redress
Officers for acting in a malafide manner or having failed to discharge
their duties without any sufficient and reasonable cause'.

There is no provision for penal action against Head of the Public
authority for violating the section 7 or not deciding the appeal in
time or for malafide intentions. If no penal action is prescribed, the
heads of the public authorities may not take the act seriously.

A penalty should be prescribed for violating section 46 of the act.

Please prescribe the quantum of penalty to be imposed for violation of
the act. Non prescribing the specific quantity may lead to irrational
penalties by the state governments.

Page 12: First para: Please correct spellings of latern as later.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Sandeep
