[HumJanenge] TRANSPARENT SELECTIONS OF INFORMATION COMMISSIONERS

TRANSPARENT SELECTIONS OF INFORMATION COMMISSIONERS

 

Today, I will appear in a hearing before the Bench of Shri Satyananda Mishra, Chief Information Commissioner at 2.45 p.m. to know the names of short listed candidates when Shri A.N. Tiwari was selected as Chief Inf. Commissioner in Oct. 2010.  The other information sought by me is whether the short listing and selection criteria would be made public or not as this information has not been made public.  Ms. Anuradha S. Chagti, FAA has informed that there are no documents available on these points. I do not know how to proceed against such reply as the plea which will be taken may be that the PIO cannot create the information.

 

I add that there was wide range resentment on the non-transparent selection process adopted at that time and many fingers were raised against such practice.

 

I seek well wishes of the members in my campaign of transparent selections to Information Commissioners and other heads of important autonomous bodies.
