Re: [HumJanenge] CPIO of Rajya Sabha

Hello Mr Gupta,

Why dont you file your RTI Application through Money Order. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha accept Money Orders. This is a tried and tested methods by old hands of RTI Act 2005.

I want to know the name and address of the PIO, Rajya Sabha for mailing an RTI. tried to find out from the RS website but was unable, found information there in unsystematic manner.
shall be grateful for this favour. 

Re: [HumJanenge] IC SG Orders CPIO of CIC to file FIR for missing info.

Indeed the appellant Mr. Vijendar Singh, of Meerut is a subscriber of this list. I have copied this reply to him with a request that he could shed some light on this decision.

Your observation that this second appeal was time barred is correct. However, we are also aware that a lot of CPIOs have been saved of the gallows of penalty for delay in providing the information.

You might like to check this decision where the CPIO provided the information to an RTI Application dated 27/06/2011 and received by him on 13/07/2012 only on 29/02/2012. In short, the information was provided nine months late. Further, this information was provided only three days before the date of the hearing of the same IC. Check below :-

http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_SG_A_2012_000491_18226_M_79654.pdf

So looking on the bright side, the CIC has given the benefit of doubt / delay to an appellant in one decision and that of the respondent on another.

Re: [HumJanenge] IC SG Orders CPIO of CIC to file FIR for missing info.

My Dear Manoj

IC(SG) has ordered the CPIO of the C'IC to file the said Police
Complaint for "theft" / Loss of certain documents.

What I am surprised about is why IC(SG) took .2 years to take up this
appeal despite it being time barred as filed well outside the 90 days
allowed in law.

As usual I suspect foul play in IC(SG)'s Registry. As I recall
thatappellant Mr. Vijendra Singh of Meerut may be on our group,
perhaps he can assist us.

[HumJanenge] IC DS slaps Max Penalty on CPIO of Income Tax

In yet another decision, IC Deepak Sandhu has imposed maximum penalty of Rs.25,000/- on the CPIO of Income Tax Mumbai.

It is interesting to read the flimsy excuses made by the CPIO to explain the delay in providing information.

http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_DS_C_2011_000143_T_79780.pdf

Looks like this decision might be challenged in High Court.

In a strong worded decision, not only has IC Deepak Sandhu imposed maximum penalty on the CPIO of LIC Bareilly but also pulled up the FAA by ordering :The FAA has also demonstrated his complete ignorance on the practical

Re: [HumJanenge] India's Dismal Progress in Infrastructure Development in Last Two Decades - Babudom is Curse for India

Dear Friends,

I am now sharing something to ponder about seriously. While corruption is rampant, the babudom incompetence is ubiquitous, a far more serious disease as it has already spread to all projects. Corruption is still uncovered through various means of whistle blowing, leaks, media etc., it is babudom incompetence which has never been even gauged leave aside discussed. The country would have eradicated poverty by now. Please read on.

Take a simple example of the current $ trillion financial outlay for the current plan, a whopping 5,000,000 Cr. Going by the past experience of 63 years, all projects have got delayed, have had twice the cost and time over runs. If we are to take the stock of all 13 five year plans, half of the financial outlay has been wasted and twice the time has been taken to complete government projects at twice the cost. All this is the direct responsibility and accountability of babudom and not politicians who come and go every five years and are shifted from one ministry to another regularly. Babus serve for their life. Let's take a theoretical scenario, if all projects get completed within the budget and time, the country would have surpassed China in economic development by now. The truth is some where in between. 50 % projects should get completed within budget and time and 50 % may have 1.5 times the budget and time over runs. India still matches China in economic development. The poverty if not fully eliminated is reduced drastically.

To summarize, while most netas are surely fooling us by their corrupt practices, babudom is the single source of incompetence and incapability being promoted day in and day out due to their zero accountability in stark contrast to babudom in China. The present practice of babudom has amply demonstrated that if country continues to vest in them the responsibility for regulations, policy, adminsitration and hardest job of execution of vital infrastructure projects, we are doomed for ever. The wisdom is to separate the regulations, policy making and administration from the hardest job of delivering projects on ground. Let the babudom (IAS and others) continue with regulation, policy making and administration but national GDP growth driving projects of roads, airports, power, aviation, health, education, agriculture, rail, transportation, telecom, e governance etc etc be never given to the babudom. Let this responsibility be taken over by what Narayanamurthy aptly calls Indian Management Service (IMS). Let the IAS be vertically split into IAS and IMS. All projects are run by professional boards with industry nominees too apart from regulation and policy representative. The direct responsibility and accountability of projects delivery will be that of IMS with separate cadre rules akin to industry executives.

Here is an opportunity. Hope our learned netas, civil society people, industry tycoons, media and most importantly, we the people, are listening and for once we all get united and give shape to this revolution in the country.

Jai Hind.

If even 1/100th of such callous performance was demonstrated in a private sector, the guy would be thrown out in less than a year.

Should we file RTIs to get the details of all infrastructure projects in the country like start date, end date, cost and check the status today ? I think, almost all infrastructure projects at the end of this RTI exercise would land up in courts through PILs. I am not sure whether we really have any solution.

Imagine, the honorable PM has enhanced the financial outlay for the current plan to a trllion $ or INR 5,000,000 Cr. Babudom would be responsible, as has been so since 1990, for wasting half of this outlay due to incompetence and very poor decision making and taking double the time to completion. China has hugely accountable babudom and thus is on track to be No 1 economy very soon. 

It is time we found a solution to this babudom becoming the real bane in removing the poverty in the country. Politicians are busy in milking the land and babus are busy in milking the infrastructure projects. The people of the country are taken for a ride. 

Can we the people demand babus in-charge of these projects to come on National DD and give monthly progress of these projects in an hour long program ? Can the cabinet secy voluntarily organize such monthly briefing to the people on TV by his colleagues who are in-charge of various projects ? Really, no answer indeed.

http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_SS_A_2011_001885_M_79869.pdf 

The appellant had filed an application dated 22.9.2010 under the RTI Act
seeking copy of the report on integration of UD and PD – issues relating to interse seniority in Managerial Technical Cadre – with refer No. CM (HR) C-T-1160
dated 14.12.09. The CPIO vide his letter dated 7.10.2010 informed the appellant
that the matter is being examined by the management. It has not been accepted
by the Company till date. Since the report is not accepted by the Company, it is
not an official document of the company. Therefore the report is not 'information'
under section 2(f) of RTI Act, 2005.

During the hearing the respondent submits that the Management of FACT
constituted a Committee of senior officials to examine and make
recommendations for solving the inter-se seniority problems in the technical
cadre in the proposed Udyogmandal Complex set up. The integration of the
Udyogmandal Division and Petrochemical Division is not yet completed. The
recommendation/report of the Committee has not yet been accepted by the
Management. It is subject to various changes based on the discussion with the
Unions. The issue of inter-se seniority in the technical cadre is being discussed
with the Unions. The purpose of the report of the Committee of senior officials is
only to conduct negotiation with the Unions to sort out the issue of inter-se
seniority. In other words, it is a management tool for discussion with Unions. It
the report is released to the Unions, the very purpose of constituting the
Committee is defeated.

Having considered the submissions of the parties the Commission is of
the view that the information sought for by the appellant does not fall within the
meaning of 'information' as contained u/s 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005 as the abovesaid report is subject to various changes based on the discussions with the
Unions. The requisite information permissible under the RTI Act has been
provided to the appellant by the respondent.

Like for example "Mr. Roy is useless DICTATOR" it would emphasis word "dictator" as it is the nature that we must state not the other part... Making Capital letter bold alway provide more weightage to the word like "Mr. Roy is useless DICTATOR" And Cap+Bold+Italics makes a reference to that word only not the entire sentence ""Mr. Roy is useless DICTATOR".

Please do not use different colors and prefer black and never use red as it has different denominations.

I hope Mr. Roy will except the statement above without any problems.

Regards,

Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Uncovering of Truth - IE Story of Suggesting an Attempted Army Coup Needs Investigation

Dear Mr Sarbajit,

With all such things coming out, we need to know the truth.

This is an opportunity to try to set the erring people right as per the laws of the state including hitherto holy cow press i.e, IE if they are at fault.

I am of  the opinion that there should be an impartial inquiry from the office of the honorable PM to set things right.

Let the honorable members of HJ Group give their opinion. If in favor, approach the honorable PM for the needful. 
 
With warm regards,

Col Mahesh Khera

As such this is further proof that VKS knew about the muck that was

Dear Mr Banker

You are truly a very wise and enlightened man.

You have conveyed in 1 email what I have spent many many years trying
to convey to all the duffers on my mailing list.

It is quite obvious that there is absolutely nothing you can learn
from our mailing list - which is run for all the fools in the country
as a public service by hoping to find a few good people among 1000's
of bewakoofs.

I am dropping everything to unsubscribe you as fast as possible.

Very very warmly. And with my deepest apologies.

Re: [HumJanenge] Report which can undergo changes is not "information"

Your "seasoned and experienced" ex bureaucrat and now IC in the CIC, needs to read the definitions in Sec 2 of the RTI Act !


The appellant had filed an application dated 22.9.2010 under the RTI Act
seeking copy of the report on integration of UD and PD – issues relating to interse seniority in Managerial Technical Cadre – with refer No. CM (HR) C-T-1160
dated 14.12.09. The CPIO vide his letter dated 7.10.2010 informed the appellant
that the matter is being examined by the management. It has not been accepted
by the Company till date. Since the report is not accepted by the Company, it is
not an official document of the company. Therefore the report is not 'information'
under section 2(f) of RTI Act, 2005.
.
.
.
.
.
.
During the hearing the respondent submits that the Management of FACT
constituted a Committee of senior officials to examine and make
recommendations for solving the inter-se seniority problems in the technical
cadre in the proposed Udyogmandal Complex set up. The integration of the
Udyogmandal Division and Petrochemical Division is not yet completed. The
recommendation/report of the Committee has not yet been accepted by the
Management. It is subject to various changes based on the discussion with the
Unions. The issue of inter-se seniority in the technical cadre is being discussed
with the Unions. The purpose of the report of the Committee of senior officials is
only to conduct negotiation with the Unions to sort out the issue of inter-se
seniority. In other words, it is a management tool for discussion with Unions. It
the report is released to the Unions, the very purpose of constituting the
Committee is defeated.

Having considered the submissions of the parties the Commission is of
the view that the information sought for by the appellant does not fall within the
meaning of 'information' as contained u/s 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005 as the abovesaid report is subject to various changes based on the discussions with the
Unions. The requisite information permissible under the RTI Act has been
provided to the appellant by the respondent.

Dear Mr Devasahayam

I fully appreciate your desire to be unsubscribed from this group.

You will doubtless acknowledge that all your messages to this group
were faithfully transmitted to our members without any modifications
or censorship whatsoever. Considerable debate / discussion has taken
place on them.

Unfortunately, you did not disclose your personal interest in the
matter when you repeatedly raised  Geb V.K.,Singh's DoB issue on this
group. This is not an activist group, neither is it an NGO group. We
are a group of the citizens, for the citizens, by the citizens to
discuss RTI (and.incidentally to tap the brains of the group owners
for free advice)  You Sir, gave up your right to be called a citizen
the moment you associated with that gang of paid mercenaries who call
themselves by many names depending on which cause they are fighting
and who is paying them. Whether it is the NCPRI, or the Forum for
Judicial Accountability or whatever, they are all the same gang of
foreign financed haramis.

You never answered me when I asked who paid for the lawyers for your
PIL. Your silence is your answer.

Now enough Sir about You, let me tell you something about myself.

1) I have never taken even 1 naya paise from anyone to do social work.
There are 'n' number of people on this group who will vouch for that.
They will also vouch that I never ever do the wrong thing by anyone
and I am incorruptible.

2) I got Mr. Pramod Mahajan removed from the Union Cabinet for his
corrupt activities..

3) I was the person behind unraking the 1G scam. I'm sure you've never
heard about it, because I kept it out of the newspapers. Fines /
Penalties of over Rs. 5,000 Crores were levied on the offenders. I
didnt take / make a paise. In fact I spent my own money and time
because God commanded me to do so.

4) I was the person who stopped Digitalisation of Cable TV in India.
Now that the period of limitation has expired the Govt has revived the
scheme after 8 years. Once again I did so because God commanded me to
do so. I can list many more such instances if you want to know..

5) I have never lost any legal case where God directed me to
intervene. And there are 100's of such cases before some of the worst
Judges possible.  . Believe me Sir, it is your loss if you proceed
down the path you are on. I have no doubt that  you believe you are in
the right. If GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE. let us see what  "Truth"  emerges.

PS: I am unsubscribing you immediately..

With best wishes.
Sarbajit
