[HumJanenge] My Pending Public Grievance Petitions

To:
Ms. Anuradha Chagti
Director-RTI/DoPT

10-July-2012

Dear Madam

I refer to my 3 public grievance petitions which are pending with yourself.

Their CPGRMS registration numbers are DOPAT/E/2012/00352, 00353 and
00354 respectively. These are all connected with the a) anti-national
b) corrupt, actions of Information Commissioner Mr Shailesh Gandhi

Despite the fact that my petitions were received and registered on
3-May-2012 and forwarded to you for action by 20-June-2012, I have not
received any communication (leave alone the mandatory interim reply)
within the prescribed period of 2 months to resolve the grievance.

I apprehend that the delay has taken place so as to avoid initiating
prosecution under the Official Secrets Act against Mr.Shailesh Gandhi
who enjoys tremendous political patronage (and which got him appointed
as Information Commissioner despite his incompetence / ineligibility
for the post).

My view is recently confirmed by the Delhi High Court in WP(C)
11271/2009 available at
http://lobis.nic.in/dhc/VS/judgement/06-06-2012/VS01062012CW112712009.pdf

The Hon'ble Court has passed extremely scathing observations about Mr.
Shailesh Gandhi's functioning as an Information Commissioner while
appreciating the on-point decisions of Mr. A.N.Tiwari-ji who was
previously Secretary/DoPT and the architect of the RTI Act.

I would therefore request you to act immediately on my pending public
grievance petitions and initiate prosecution /action against Mr.
Shailesh Gandhi, and also stop his pension (and other post retirement
benefits), if any. It may be recalled that Mr.Gandhi has publicly
stated before accepting office that he would only take Rs.1 per month
token salary, so it is not clear to the citizens why he is getting a
pension now.

Kindly note that the unexplained delay in acting on my petitions are
completely unacceptable as they allowed Mr. Gandhi to carry on in his
post till his tenure, which I find highly suspicious and deserving of
inquiry.

With best wishes,
Yours faithfully
