Re: [IAC#RG] CIC reserved orders

There are many more problems in the IC which need to be highlighted eg

Killing of section 18 of RTI act

Reverting second appeal back to the FAA

Giving decisions without giving any chance to appellant/PIOs/AAs

Dear Nidhi

I'm posting this to a mailing list as you requested

From my own experience I can state as follows:-

CIC decisions are reserved when

a) The IC is incompetent and circulates it to his cronies for advise when he gets stuck.

b)  The IC and the Public Authority have predecided the matter before the hearing, but the appellant throws them off course in the hearing and disrupts their well laid plans so they need to reserve it.

c) Open disagreement between the members of a Bench. This happened to in one of my cases (DDA matter) between Wajahat Habibullah and M.L.Sharma, and Mr. Habibullah ended up drafting a bizarre order which resulted in CIC Management Regulations 2007 being struck down in the High Court for his arrogance.

d) IC needs to seek advise of CIC's Legal dept.

e) IC concerned simply hands it over to the "winning side" to draft. I have personally drafted many orders at CIC which were simply brushed up and delivered by them later.

Dear Sarbajit

I am working on a story on CIC and would appreciate your help and inputs. I have come across a few cases where CIC hears final arguments and reserves its judgements  for months. I was wondering if you have come across the same problem in your interactions with CIC? Or would it be possible for you to put this question across to your googlegroup and see if there are some responses?

Would appreciate your help

Regards

Nidhi
