Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Attn. Mr. Girish Mittal

Mr Sarbajit,

1. Just because Mr WH allowed you to implead as a third party, does not make him a saint !

One swallow does not a summer make.

2. You know very well by now that CIC is a "caste" and "name and fame" based institution.

If Shekhar Singh does not turn up for a first appeal with the FAA of CIC,

the PIO himself suggests that the appeal hearing be postponed. When I dont turn up,

the decision is passed ex-parte. (I have written proof of this)

If Mr Sarbajit sends a email, it is responded to.

If others send a email, they just hit the delete button.

3. I know all the facts in the Akash Deep case - since I have the documents with me.

However, sometimes it is better to keep ones powder dry for future use.

4. You did get a very good order from the Delhi HC regarding benches.

But why are you not using that same order when ICs are blatantly defying

the court by delegating the powers vested in them ?

That part of the order was never stayed by the SC.

Dear Girish

Thanks for reverting

1) It seems that you agree that individual Information Commissioners
sitting singly can pass orders disregarding the previously passed
decisions of other ICs (especially the Chief).

2) Mr. Shailesh Gandhi goes 1 step further by openly disregarding
decisions of "Full Benches" of the Commission even when they are
brought to his notice by the parties. He says that "this
Commission" (whatever that may mean) "respectfully disagrees" and then
passes his orders. What are the poor appellants expected to do with
all this confusion ??

3) Well they go to High Court.and get scathing orders passed
concerning his "lack of judicial discipline".

4) My particular grievance was against Mr. Shekhar Singh, the Google
financed "spy", who was intent on getting the Govt instrumentalities
to digitise tens of thousands of documents for him, (at 60 paise per
page) to be provided to him at Rs. 50 only. Not only is this a
collossal waste of tax payers money, he was doing this at Google's
behest so that Google could publish it (like they publish so many
books still under copyright). It is another matter that Mr. Shekhar
Singh was assuming the garb of a transparency advocate till I got him
to admit during proceedings that he had received over Rs. 1 crore from
Google for all this.

5) I was therefore shocked to see the identical queries ostensibly
submitted by your father. The queries were submitted well after the
Shekhar Singh order (which was publicised from this group also). Since
it is well known that Google (which is closely associated with
America's intelligence agencies and is a CIA front)  is financing
many
so-called RTI Activists in India, I was curious if you / your father
are among them ? Or are you unwitting pawns of the NCPRI (what I call
"RTI taxis" like Subhash Chandra Agrawal who will file an RTI for
anyone .. or qv. your RTIs against Corporation Bank,  BoB etc).

6) We have different views on Shailesh Bhai.  Since you are from
Mumbai, you probably know him better than me. Mr. Habibullah, for all
his faults at least afforded me the opportunity to intervene as 3rd
party in Shekhar Singh's matter and get the information denied, why
could not Shailesh Gandhi not do the same in your case ?

7) Kindly note that I am not defending Aaakash Deep. Like him, I am
aggrieved at Shailesh Gandhi's completely, egoistic, incompetent,
legally illiterate style of functioning, and also the deep and
pervasive stench of corruption in his office when he was an IC. You
don't know all the facts in AkaashDeep's case, I am sure the truth
will come out eventually despite Shailesh engaging some big legal
names to see that it doesn't.

8) regarding 19(7). ALL citizens are aggrieved by ALL ICs sitting
singly and their orders. When I got the Delhi High Court to declare
that ICs sitting singly was illegal the entire NCPRI brigade was up in
arms and got CIC to approach the SC - despite ANT, Deepak Sandhu etc
publicly agreeing with my reading of the RTI Act - The CIC is a
"collegium" like the US Supreme Court, and must sit jointly to decide
all cases.. That is the only way to stop corrupt ICs sitting singly.

Warmly
Sarbajit
