[HumJanenge] Re: CONFIDENTIAL: Gross delay in resolving my outstanding Public Grievances

To:
Mr. S.K.Sarkar
Addl. Secretary (S&V) / DoPT

Sub: 3 of my pending Public Grievances filed on 03.May.2012 registered
as DOPAT/E/2012/00352 , DOPAT/E/2012/00353 and DOPAT/E/2012/00354 but
not replied / disposed.

17-Oct-2012

Respected Sir

I refer to my emails below, and all other emails sent to yourself and
various officers of the DoPT on this subject.

Firstly, it is a matter of great shame that the DoPT sits on my
pending public grievances for over 5 months and does nothing till
yesterday

Secondly, that the DoPT does nothing on my pending grievances till I
complain and record on the website of the DARPG's PGPORTAL on
15.10.2012 that Mr. P.K.Mishra Secretary DoPT is a corrupt officer who
is improperly influenced to delay resolution of my long pending
grievances.

Thirdly that on 16.10.2012, ie the very next day after I publicly
complain and record on the Public Grievance portal that Mr
P.K.Mishra/Secretary/DoPT is a corrupt officer, my 3 pending
grievances are closed with the cryptic comment that "Your grievance is
being sent seperately to Secretary, CIC". As a citizen of India I
demand to know as follows - "What the fuck were you people doing for 5
months ?"

Fourthly, I am fully pressing my complaint, made to you, that Mr.
P.K.Mishra is a corrupt officer who has interfered in the resolution
of my pending public grievances for improper considerations. You are
obliged in law to convey my complaint against him forthwith to the
Cabinet Secretariat/Group of Secretaries for final disposal. If you do
not do so, it would equally constitute a corrupt action. Kindly note
that I shall be filing an RTI on this topic to ensure that documents
are not destroyed, as is usually done in my matters.

Fifthly, I would request you to formally inquire if the hurried
decision to close my pending grievances by forwarding the same to the
Secretary CIC has the mandatory approval of the Secretary/DoPT as also
the Minister since my grievance has been unresolved for over the
settled period of 2 months to dispose of the same, and their approvals
are hence necessary.

yours faithfully,

Sarbajit Roy
