Re: [HumJanenge] CIC minutes of meeting

Dear Members

As list owner, I am required to ban this email ID of Mr Mahendra Kumar
Gupta for the reason of continually interrupting and impeding the
discussions on this group.

After examining the record of this thread I find that Mr Sarbjit had
clearly given the link to the CIC's MOM concerning the "rating" of
inverters.

When Sh Habibullah commented adversely on Mr Sarbjit's conclusion that
these were "third rate" inverters, Mr Sarbjit promptly set out the
portion of CIC's MOM which notes that "first rate" inverters are to be
provided and that "basic infrastructure" is lacking in the CIC.

There is thus an on-going debate/discussion between 2 senior RTI
personalities about an important issue of great interest to all RTI
users, viz, the dismal performance of the CIC's Mail/dak system.

Thus for Sh M.K.Gupta to misrepresent that Mr Sabjit is "levelling
unfounded allegations and charges" is clearly not borne out by the
record of this group.

For the moment Mr Gupta's other email ID is retained for posting
responsible and well thought out messages to this list.

Re: [HumJanenge] Disappearing decisions on CIC website

Should v be so blunt to call an elderly gentleman by his bare name without prefixing some respectable word like Shri. I have many times listen Wajahat ji who is very courteous, cool and have patience with thecourtesy of Lucknowwalas like "Pahle Aap. This is really not our culture to tarnish the image of anybody without giving any proof of purported corruption.  Can we call our father or other elder family members like this.
 
I think Veeresh will not be elder than Shri Habibullah who has retired at the age of 65 after serving on responsible senior posts. R some person testing his patience before he send some defamation notice for the derogratory, contemptuous and defamatory remarks without even prima facie proof?
 
WE ARE NOT REALLY SERVING THE CAUSE OF RTI BUT R INDLUGING IN THE GAME OF MUD SLINGING ON SOME PRE-DETERMINED TARGETS BUT AND SOME BODY IS BEHIND THIS GAME TO FURTHER HIS VESTED INTEREST OR TO SETTLE PAST SCORE.  WHO IS GIVING FEED-BACK TO MR. SARABJIT ABOUT THE PAST HAPPENING AT THE CIC.  WHETHER SOMEBODY FROM THE REGISTRY OF CIC HAVE EVER COMPLAINT OF INFERIOR INVERTORS AND WHETHER MR  HABIBULLAH WAS PURCHASE OFFICER OR ORDERED FOR THE PURCHASE IF THE CHARGES ARE RELLAY TRUE. 
PL. REFRAIN FROM THIS GAIN AS LOT IS REQUIRED 2 B DONE IN THE FIELD OF RTI.  WHISTLE BLOWER BILL, FRESH APPTT. OF ICs R PENDING.  FRESH ICs SHOULD BE OF IMPEACABLE RECORD AND NOT LIKE THE PRESENT CHIEF OF CVC WHO IS ALREADY IN THE DOCK IN PALM OIL AND 2G SPRECTRUM CASES.

Re: [HumJanenge] CIC minutes of meeting

I request Mr. Sarbajit to inform the members of concluding that the inverters were of 3rd rate. 
After retirement of a respectable official, we should not take his peace by levelling unfounded allegatons and charges. I know, Sarab may go to the extent to brand me a stooge of former CCIC, which will again be an unfounded statement.

On another note, now that you have received an invitation to appear on
