Dear friend May I clarify that you can not expect redressal of a complaint under RTI Act. Only querries are to be asked. Moreover you can not ask why, when whhere etc. Rather if you wish to know the details you can ask for the File notings and inspection of relevant file.

However I would suggest U to kindly go through my exhaustive book "TREATISE ON RTI ACT 2005" PUBLISHED BY M/S BHARAT LAW HOUSE , NEW DELHI with relevant Case Laws, Commentary and trick on asking questions. with FREE C.D. of various Supreme Court and High Court Judgements.

Re: [HumJanenge] India Needs to Revamp its Bureaucracy to Bring Life to the Governance - Can RTI Help

Dear Friends, Mr PN has hit the nail on the head. The discretionary powers of babus can easily be done away with only through one tried and tested mechanism ie, e governance as has been so successfully adopted by 40 developed countries which enjoy top 40 rankings in least corrupt nations index. India needs both, reform bureaucracy nd institute true national e governance NOT the way National E Governance Plan (NEGP) is being master minded again by these generalist one size fits all babus. Let's demand these two things in all our campaigns. Seek this promise from the political parties seeking elections. Jai Hind.

Dear All

In issues like these what is important is to reduce the discretion of government officials. The anti corruption warriors want more laws, more rules, more controls and then hope that the corruption will whither away.

Corruption is there because someone in authority has the right to say no for something being asked for by a citizen. Generally citizens ask only what they deserve or actually have the right to possess it. The bureaucrat due to plethora of laws and rules has powers to stop the citizen from enjoying what the citizen legitimately owns. Corruption starts there.

Remedy is not to put a policeman after every bureaucrat but to reduce the powers of the bureaucrat. Consider that the power corrupts and if the power is reduced the corruption will be reduced.

Yes there will be some disorder. But let market forces take care of that. Can you stop rain or thunderstorm to disturb you? How do you cope with that? Do you make a law running into 5432 sections and rules? No you protect yourself.

Corruption can best be curbed if we start questioning the powers of baboos. Netas come later because without baboos no neta can do anything.

Problem is that everyone in India is asking for more laws and baboos and netas gladly make them as each section and each rule opens new opportunities for corruption.

Dear all,

Politics have seen a sea change. In the words of the honorable PM, coalition politics has eroded the ability to take the much needed high priority decisions directly raising their hands helplessly, leaving the bureaucracy totally mismanaged due to weak political will, abdicating their prime responsibility and bringing the governance to such a dismal state.

The bureaucracy which was established to be a steely frame and continue the good governance despite the state of politics being coalition in nature has been rusted beyond repairs.

Due to politics and bureaucracy having been brought to such a fragile state, judiciary and police have also gone mismanaged. Today, all four top institutions of the country have sunk to the lowest level and most pathetic governance has already been staring us in our face.

Elections are the answers to improve the politics which most likely will always be coalition in nature. It is a five years cycle and would always remain so.

It is the bureaucracy which is permanent in nature. Officers joining around 25 years of age and retiring at 60 gives a life cycle of around 35 years of continuous service. Even this has become beyond repairs. It calls for immediate rectification to ensure that the other two institutions of police and judiciary work well and governance remains good. Two well known good institutions which have performed creditably well are Armed Forces and Railways. Both these have a healthy mix of generalists and specialists with very healthy competition among officers at all levels and follow very good decision making process without any trace of arrogance. The institutionalized competitiveness among the officers gets the best out of them, promotions are earned and not assured, post retirement extension by 5 years is never a done thing and the two institutions thus will never get rusted.

It is time the bureaucracy is revamped by bringing a very healthy competitiveness among officers, making them perform and earn promotions. The answer is to start inducting professionals also in the bureaucratic appointments. Reduce IAS and other allied vacancies by 50 % and institutionalize filling up of these 50 % vacancies through special services exam open to MBAs and specialists. Their training after the selection should be held in another academy "The Indian Management Academy". Such a step will really do very well for the country and has a potential to set right all the three institutions of bureaucracy, police and judiciary and continue to provide good governance despite the coalition politics.

The question is how to get this implemented ? Can RTI help by seeking the facts about dismal governance due to failure of bureaucracy and then approach SC to decide and tell the government to revamp the bureaucracy if Parliament fails to act to bring out the new structure for the bureaucracy in India ?

Dear Mr Sarbajit, your RTI filed in case of Abhishek Singhvi is absolutely meticulous, flawless and a top class example in clarity of insight which you want to seek. How about doing this good for the country also ?

Re: [HumJanenge] How to save trees in private property being developed by builder?

You can get old pic from Google Earth. Attach it with recent one and give it to the Municipal authorities. They can create problems, but since the trees are not numbered and officially there in the records, the builder may find his way through by giving bribe.

Dear all,

The building in which we are tenants is being sought to be redeveloped
by a builder who has purchased the property. The 1400 sq mt plot has
15 trees including Coconut, Jack Fruit, Ashoka, Mango and Custard
Apple.

As tenants we would like the trees to be protected. Now the
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has granted IOD to the builder and
most of the tenants have moved out. Demolition of the existing
premises is yet to begin.

Now after we obtained the relevant documents under the RTI, we notice
that the preliminary survey conducted by the BMC engineer on the
physical attributes of the plot does not mention the presence of the
trees at all! There is a column which asks: Are there any trees in the
property which have been marked under the Plan (or words to that
effect). In the adjoining column where one has to fill in either Yes
or No only a dash ( - ) is shown.

Could anyone tell me how to approach the Tree Authority and file a
complaint. I want the Executive Engineer of R/North Ward, where the
property falls, to officially acknowledge the presence of trees in the
property before the commencement certificate is given.

There is also another anomaly: the document shows there is a well in
the property when there is no well. We know because we have been
living in the premises for 50 years. I suspect the builder wants to
pilfer BMC water for the purposes of construction and has thus entered
the information in connivance with civic officials.

Any information on this would be hugely useful.

Re: [HumJanenge] How to save trees in private property being developed by builder?

The best way to solve the problem would be to compensate the builder for the loss he would incur for NOT cutting the trees. Since the two of you are so environmentally concerned for the larger interests of the community it would but be a small sacrifice in the larger interests of the nation. The builder would also be thrilled and would love to join your crusade as well!

Re: [HumJanenge] Another penalty order from IC DS

Dear Sir,

I was quite interested in the exchange of mails on the Nagpur IC (Sandhu) giving directions and imposing penalties on the SBI CPIO, as I am faced a similar problem with a private sector bank. The branch manager refuses to respond (even acknowledge) to any communication by email/letter. The problem with such banks is that unlike banks in the public sector they do not have an organisational hierarchy of managers at the zonal/regional/area/district level with clear cut disciplinary powers and areas of responsibility or accountability. They just have a centralised national customer service department which seems to be staffed by inexperienced junior level executives who are scared of the branch managers.

I was under the impression that one has to approach the RBI banking ombudsman as I was not aware that banks have PIOs. I would appreciate advise on which authority one should approach for concrete action.

Thanks in anticipation,

CH Gomes.

Re: [HumJanenge] India Needs to Revamp its Bureaucracy to Bring Life to the Governance - Can RTI Help

I would go a step further; generalists only 20%. Remaining 80% specialists with engineering, science, business, law, medicine, technology, etc. backgrounds. Not only that, at least 50% of entrants should have education from the top, say x institutes with, say x years of experience from, say x industrial houses. Moreover, say at least 10% of entrants should be relieved for poor attitude and other reasons in the first year itself, AND 80% must get only average annual ratings, AND this business of assured promotion upto jt sec needs to be abandoned. AND there should be at least another 20% summary dismissals along the way. For corrupt practices: summary dismissals, forfeiture of all assets-fixed and liquid- forfeiture of retirement benifits and other perks. This is pretty much the way of the better nations .... ours is the way of phuss nations ... that is why we have become a mangoe republic.

But who will implement such stuff? For that we need to start with similar reform of politicians.

Dear Prof Apte,

Your six page article is solid. It analyses the state of our huge heritage very well. I totally agree with you that there has to be a phenomenal increase in the number of people who meditate so that the vibes are picked up by others also and the thoughts start getting transformed.

My suggestion to reduce 50 % of conventional vacancies in IAS and other allied services is precisely keeping this in mind. The original steely frame of bureaucracy has got rusted beyond repairs as honest officers have shrunk very fast. It is these new inductees from management through a separate stream which would join the remaining 50 % of the steely frame and impart strength due to giving very healthy competition to the original people. Healthy competition brings out the best in people performance as we notice day in and day out in sports all over the world. In most good countries, games and sports are played with very healthy rivalry and this keeps improving the performance. The total erosion of competitiveness in the IAS which enjoys assured promotion up to joint secretary and more or less five years extension post retirement from 60 to 65 has taken the wind out of the sails of this otherwise much needed service. Bring in healthy rivalry and watch the phenomenal improvement in performance. This step will bring back the steely frame of bureaucracy. Once the steely frame improves, the governance would improve and people would start getting their faith back and would also vote with wisdom thereby even improving the dwindling political institution, a key to keep the other institutions working well.

I had requested Mr Sarbajit and have exhorted him to file the most useful and innovative RTI ever using his crystal like gaze to seek insight into how the steely frame has got rusted beyond repairs and despite the lowly political leadership and sunken bureaucracy how come institutions like Armed Forces and Railways etc have risen to dizzy heights while police and judiciary have touched the lowest ebb. Once done, this is followed up collectively by broadcasting the results like a viral for the information of the nation with deadly accurate but startling statistics which will hit every citizen and the demand for instant rectification will sky rocket with unbearable pressure on the government to act for a life time transformation of India.

Jai Hind.

      Dear Sir,

      Your analysis of Bhaarateey politics appears to be correct. Now even Railways do not appear to be working like well-oiled machine as mentioned by you . Now really (till now) only efence forces appear to be well functioning. Main thing that well functioning (even Democracy) needs framework of dedicated bureacrats. I call these persons as developed individuals. I am attaching my article 'Nation & Development' in this regards. You will probably understand my views better by going through it and pondering over. I shall be happy to get comments from you.

Dear all,

Politics have seen a sea change. In the words of the honorable PM, coalition politics has eroded the ability to take the much needed high priority decisions directly raising their hands helplessly, leaving the bureaucracy totally mismanaged due to weak political will, abdicating their prime responsibility and bringing the governance to such a dismal state.

The bureaucracy which was established to be a steely frame and continue the good governance despite the state of politics being coalition in nature has been rusted beyond repairs.

Due to politics and bureaucracy having been brought to such a fragile state, judiciary and police have also gone mismanaged. Today, all four top institutions of the country have sunk to the lowest level and most pathetic governance has already been staring us in our face.

Elections are the answers to improve the politics which most likely will always be coalition in nature. It is a five years cycle and would always remain so.

It is the bureaucracy which is permanent in nature. Officers joining around 25 years of age and retiring at 60 gives a life cycle of around 35 years of continuous service. Even this has become beyond repairs. It calls for immediate rectification to ensure that the other two institutions of police and judiciary work well and governance remains good. Two well known good institutions which have performed creditably well are Armed Forces and Railways. Both these have a healthy mix of generalists and specialists with very healthy competition among officers at all levels and follow very good decision making process without any trace of arrogance. The institutionalized competitiveness among the officers gets the best out of them, promotions are earned and not assured, post retirement extension by 5 years is never a done thing and the two institutions thus will never get rusted.

It is time the bureaucracy is revamped by bringing a very healthy competitiveness among officers, making them perform and earn promotions. The answer is to start inducting professionals also in the bureaucratic appointments. Reduce IAS and other allied vacancies by 50 % and institutionalize filling up of these 50 % vacancies through special services exam open to MBAs and specialists. Their training after the selection should be held in another academy "The Indian Management Academy". Such a step will really do very well for the country and has a potential to set right all the three institutions of bureaucracy, police and judiciary and continue to provide good governance despite the coalition politics.

The question is how to get this implemented ? Can RTI help by seeking the facts about dismal governance due to failure of bureaucracy and then approach SC to decide and tell the government to revamp the bureaucracy if Parliament fails to act to bring out the new structure for the bureaucracy in India ?

Dear Mr Sarbajit, your RTI filed in case of Abhishek Singhvi is absolutely meticulous, flawless and a top class example in clarity of insight which you want to seek. How about doing this good for the country also ?

We are surprised that people have misunderstood the stand taken by the

reached the pinnacle of the Army career. Most of the people think
about life after Retirement and get good or plum appointments like
Governors, Ambassadors, or high level posts in PSUs and other Govt
