1. Though i have not been active on this link trail, yet the issue of RTI is one such that i may like to seek clarification from learned group members. Can a government official/ Officer use RTI provision to dig into official working in his/her own office set up, ostensibly to settle some personal scores? If the answer is 'yes', then can he/she be using the official functioning time & office stationary/computers etc only in these RTI activities all through the day?. Imagine the establishment getting involved in searching for information from old records of decades, leaving the time bound productive activities which are compromised in the process.
The RTI Act as i understand was intended to bring relief to the common man in getting relevant information from government department(s) for the common good of the populace & also of the individual concerned without in any way targeting any governmental functionary in particular. I will stand corrected if that is not the case .
2. Another burning issue in the country is on 'Governance'. C

Dear Col Sood
I suspect you are referring to the matter before IC O.P.Kejriwal where he directed (on grounds of anti-corruption) that immoveable property asset details of HAL officers would be disclosed to an applicant masquerading as an RTI activist. If so, your suspicion is correct.

I have been a PIO of Def CPSU and been a witness to such practices. In fact in one among many such cases I was summoned by the office of the CIC and before I could sit the IC started dictating his decision. Even after a lot of persuasion to hear me out, he did listen for 45 mins as a formality, but gave the same pre decided ruling which had wider ramification.Yet on another count there were serious allegation against the IC, too well known to people in those days.RgrdsCOL GK Sood

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.

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 helpRegardsNidhi
