[IAC#RG] Objections of India Against Corruption to late submissions of political parties

To:
Hon'ble Justice J.S.Verma Committee

Kind Attn: Hon'ble Justice (Retd) J.S.Verma and his co-committee members

Date: 12-January-2013

Respected Sirs / Madam

I refer to the submission of Shri Arvind Kejriwal purportedly on on behalf "Aam Aadmi Party" dated 07-January-2013 which is being circulated in public domain as having being submitted to your Hon'ble Committee.

India Against Corruption "IAC" opposes the consideration of all submissions made after the published due date of 05-Jan-2013.  It is pertinent to mention that it was very well known at the time of issuing the public notice inviting suggestions/comments that the 5th of January 2013 was a Saturday. If it was intended that submissions made on 07-Jan-2013 under the provision of the General Clauses Act would also be considered, the last date could very easily have been specified in the notice(s) as 7th January itself. As a result, many genuine "aam aadmis" have been deprived of participating in the public response process to your Hon'ble Committee due to the hastily drafted and misleading public notice.

The IAC therefore urges that it would be fit if all submissions received after 5-January 2013, including Aam Aadmi Party's are not taken into consideration / record by this Hon'ble Committee.

with best wishes

yours faithfully
