Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Illogical Decision of Sushma Singh

In 2010 I had done a quick study of the decisions of 

the CIC and APSIC.

The chances of getting a favourable order increase 

dramatically when the appellant is present. If I recall 

correctly, my study showed that success rate 

(ie disclosure of information) is about 65% when a appellant

is present as against 25% when the appellant is not present.

Personal presence (ie physical presence in the the ICs chamber)

is also much better than appearing through Video Conferencing.

In fact, if you go through the Rajasthan SIC website, there are 

hundreds of orders simply saying "appellant did not appear...

it seems he is satisfied with the information provided....

appeal is closed" - or something to that effect.

Dear Girish

There is an unexplained 1 year delay between July 2010 and July 2011.
Also the appellant is at fault for not appearing and prosecuting his
matter.
The only reason ICs get away with this is because of poor quality
petitioners.
