[HumJanenge] Re: Arvind Kejriwal - IT Notice
1) I was NOT instrumental in bringing RTI. I played a very small role,
and I want no credit for it. If credit has to be given, I (from a
worm's eye view) would give it to Mr. A.N.Tiwari and his DoPT team ( a
group of honest and practical people) who wanted a STRONG RTI ACT to
bring about a STRONG BUREAUCRACY which is the best way to stop HIGH
LEVEL CORRUPTION by Ministers and Politicians.
2) If you want a LokPal Bill, even the Govt version is more than
sufficient for people who can use it well. Its weak people like ":Team
Anna" who need "strong" laws. Strong people can get by with "weak":
laws.
3) I have got more information using the weak and toothless Delhi RTI
Act than I ever got out of RTI Act 2005 (with all its notional
penalties) which Aruna Roy emasculated.
4) Today if you face a corrupt officer, just slap him or finish him
off - and be prepared to face the consequences. (I have slapped many
officers ... )

Re: [HumJanenge] Re: DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL ROHINI IS A PUBLIC AUTHORITY, CIC DECIDES
CIC is NOT a Civil Court.
During Complaint process u/s 18 the CIC enjoys some limited POWERS of a civil court under CPC for receiving evidence.
Your real remedy for false evidence submitted on affidavit lies under Indian Penal Code and not CPC. The Superior courts are littered with false affidavits submitted by civil servents on behalf of their department. No court takes any cognisance of the "perjury" they contain. It is all part of the game, unless the untruths are palpably outrgeous / beyond all limits to lying.
Sarbajit
As stated, sharing as copy of my proposed letter to Hon'ble CCIC, Shri Satyananda Mishra,
SPEED POST
Shri Satyananada Mishra,
Chief Information Commission
New Delhi.
Date: 3.9.2011.
Sub: Outright rejection of my application for taking action against the PIO, NSD, AIR for submitting false affidavits before Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner in the hearing of my complaint.
Ref: Case No. CIC/AD/A/2010/000144.
Hon'ble Sir,
Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Hon'ble Information Commissioner has rejected my application for making a complaint to a Magistrate of the first class having jurisdiction out rightly stating that the Commission does not have the jurisdiction to deal with criminal jurisprudence. The application was submitted to make a complaint u.s. 340 of CrPC for the perjury committed by Shri D. K. Das, the CPIO by submitting false evidence in the form of three false affidavits. I am enclosing herewith a self-attested copies of my application dated 3.5.2011 and the IC's decision dated 25th August, 2011 rejecting my request for your ready reference.
2. The application has been rejected stating, "Commission does not have the jurisdiction to deal with criminal jurisprudence". According to section 340 CrPC, a Civil Court has jurisdiction to make a complaint as regards an abetment of any offence referred to in s. 195(1)(b). [please see enclosed page 522 of The Code of Criminal Procedure (15th Edition, 1997) by Justice Y V Chandrachud, former CJ, SC]. Under section 18 (3) of RTI Act, CIC has the same powers as are vested in a civil court while trying a suit under the Code of Civil Procedure while receiving evidence on affidavit. Para 2 of the CrPC, (page 522) states, "Any Civil Court can proceed under this section and hold preliminary inquiry". It should than record a finding, should itself make a complaint in writing and forward it to the first class Magistrate having jurisdiction. Last two lines of para 3 on page 523 state, "An affidavit which is false is also covered in this section." I am enclosing copies of page 521 to 523 for your ready reference.
3. That the reason recorded in the decision itself is an error of law and fact and the Commission itself was not required to deal with the criminal jurisprudence but to make a complaint in writing to the First Class Magistrate after recording finding and send it to the Magistrate of the first class having jurisdiction in accordance with the Section 340 of CrPC.
4. That non-action by the CIC against the production of false affidavits or other false evidences will open the floodgates of submitting the false evidences by the PIO's etc. as they will not have any fear of any action against them.
5. Thus, the Hon'ble IC, Mrs. Annapurna Dixit has given erroneous decision by turning down my application to take action u.s. 340 of the CrPC. I, therefore, request you to revisit the decision and to make a complaint to the First Class Magistrate for the perjury committed by the CPIO so that the same is not repeated in future.

We are grateful to Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Hon'ble Information Commission for her well reasoned, speaking and logical order of far reaching consequences.
Mohit Goyal also deserves Kudos for doing his home work well and citing around ten cases in support of his demand. During the hearing, I noted that the IC has given the desired time and heard both the parties with ample patience and gave fair opportunity to plead.
This does not mean that all the decisions of IC, Mrs. Dixit's are of the satisfaction of the appellants. If the appellants are not challenging these decisions in the High Court that is due to long, cumbersome and expensive route. For an ordinary man, it is difficult to take recourse of this.
I have list of some questionable decisions passed by the IC, Mrs. Dixit. In the latest decision in the case No. CIC/AD/C/2010/000144, IC refused to make a complaint u.s. 340 of CrPC to the Ist class magistrate against the perjury committed by Shri D K Das, PIO, NSD, AIR by submitting three false affidavits before her during the hearings. Non-action by the CIC against the production of false affidavits will open the floodgate of submitting the false evidences by the PIO's and other govt. officials as they will not have fear of any for the same.
I shall share copy of my proposed letter to Shri Satyanand Mishra, Chief IC in the case by tomorrow.
Thus, every IC has some good and some sulking decisions in his/her kitty.
I propose that we should have a penal of some public spirited lawyers ready to take up such cases on a reasonable fee.

check up the history of the Delhi RTI Act 2001. Amongst the
principal players for RTI are Aruna Roy (NCPRI), Arvind
Kejriwal (Parivartan) and the Press Council of India who have
been active from the end of last decade. Whereas Hazare led
the way for the Maharashtra RTI Act, the above are responsible
for the Delhi Act. FYI, he was awarded Ramon Magsaysay Award
for Emergent Leadership in 2006, for activating RTI movement
at grassroot levels. The citation is here:

There are two issues here:
a) Administrative: If a resignation has been given, and it has
not been accepted for whatever reasons, the issue needs to be
dealt administratively, depending upon prevailing policies of
the Department. What has the IT Deptt doing for the last 5
years ? Why are they raking up this issue now ? And why are
departmental issues being placed as headlines ? Surely there
are some other ulterior motives ...
b) Financial: Tax is applicable if payment has been made. Has
the Govt been paying him regularly for all these years? If
yes, the IT claim is very much in order. But if not, no IT
accrues. There can be no taxes under situations where there is
no income.
Why mix the two things ?

I would not make much credence on posts on general public
mailing lists. Magasaysay awards are from Phillipines. All
personal assets of President Ramon Magsaysay are with the
Rockfeller Foundation. The prize was established in April 1957
by the trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation Fund based
in New York City with the concurrence of the Philippine
government. This is official. I do not know any CIA
connections here. The citation I put reference to is from the
wikipedia.

Please distinguish two things:
a) Public Action : Bringing public awareness/ and building
public pressures on the Govt to act.
b) Paper work : Drafting of the Act.
The contributions of those stated by me are for the former
action only. I can personally confirm the agitations taken by
Anna Hazare at Pune and Mumbai for the Maharashtra RTI Act,
last decade, having physically seen them. This public action
forced the Maharashtra Govt to Act. I would believe, this
action would be more difficult, and more important than
drafting the Act itself. In this regards their contributions
are minimal, restricted to a "wish-list" in layman's terms. I
would place less credits there. To the best of my knowledge,
the RTI Act 2005 is based on the preceding Maharashtra RTI
Act.
On a serious note: Requested, I may please be unsubscribed
from the "HumJanenge" mailing list. The kind of exchanges, and
language contained by some of the participants, (virtually
going onto personal vilification) does not gel with educated
gentry anywhere. I would like to leave.

Re: [HumJanenge] Arvind Kejriwal - IT Notice
I support Mr Sarabjit in his view that Mr Arvind Kejriwal does not need to be monetarily supported. Though I object to the use of words like idiots and such by Mr Sarabjit for fellow members, I think he is right in his position that Mr Kejriwal has to defend himself in the court of law and his NGO also receives foreign funding (though I dont believe he is an intelligence operative of CIA or any other agency).
It is an accepted fact that the government action is a personal vendetta against him but I think he just needs moral support rather than monetary help. He has definitely done a lot for the RTI (even if not otherwise at least by creating awareness about it and handing out awards to people who are working in the field) but that does not mean he can't default. If he is right in his stand, the court would forego the dues, it's as simple as that.

Tiwari and his team at DoPT with quite a bit of input from me and my co-mods like Mr Ashish Kumar - and was also based on the shortcomings of the HD Shourie draft and the FOI Act.

Dear Friends,In another Group, a mail is in circulation that we should contribute to generate money so that Arvind Kejriwal can pay up the money to the IT dept.My view is that let Prashant Bhushan legally fight the case as his entitlements for his two years of leave of absence without pay should be counted towards the pay back in lieu of his resignation after three years of study leave.In the mean while, if Supreme Court accepts the plea, it is a victory for all those who might be affected by the vague Govt orders.

Re: [HumJanenge] Arvind Kejriwal - IT Notice
Foreign country has given Magsaysay award to Shri Arvind Kejriwal for his contribution to the Society. Our government has served a notice to give 9.16 from him after five years of his resignation. Govt was not only deep but was in long slumber too. Some one may ask about the day to day movement of his case after Feb. 2006 (when he submitted his resignation) till date. By this, we can know whether the notice is genuine or an act of venditta because of the activism of Shri Arvind. . --- On Sat, 3/9/11, Mahesh Khera <mkkhera@yahoo.com> wrote:
