Dear Madam / Sir,

I refer to my Public Grievance Petition dated 23.April.2011 appended below for your ready reference.

I am constrained to say that I have not received the acknowledgment which is supposed to be provided to me immediately or within 3 days in any case. I am thereby caused to suspect some "hanky panky" in the selection of the next Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) and especially since the newspaper "Mail Today" has today published an "expose" of how the DoPT (by Ms. Alka Sirohi) is once again flouting the Supreme Court orders by manipulating out private persons from the selection / appointment process for the CVC.

Kindly therefore acknowledge my grievance petition within the period stipulated by the DARPG's D.O.

With best wishes

Dear Madam / Sir,

I refer to the subject D.O of 5.April.2011. In connection therewith I am caused to list out some of my grievances for your kind examination and redressal.

1) That the link to the said D.O is only accessible via a Java based scroller under the header "What's New" on the website of the Department from the homepage. Consequently the DO is only essentially accessible to persons with Java enabled browsers and is thereby in conflict with requirement of sub-section 4(1)(a) of RTI Act 2005 administered by your Department. Had the DoPT cared to designate a competent senior officer as "Transparency Officer", perhaps such niggling irritants would not agitate public spirited citizens like myself against your Department.

2) That by this DO, private citizens like myself who satisfy completely the requirements for appointment as Vigilance Commissioner or Chief Vigilance Commissioner are being manipulated out of the process. In so far as my own case goes, I am demonstrably an eminent person of impeccable integrity and impartiality having expertise and experience in banking and finance, including insurance and banking, law, vigilance and investigations etc. In fact I would go so far as to say, in all modesty, that Government would be hard pressed to find a more suitable candidate than I for such positions. It is another matter entirely that I shun public office to concentrate on social work and religious research in my capacity as spiritual leader of millions of Indian citizens who profess the Adi Dharm way of life.

3) I would therefore request you to remove the extra-statutory requirement of paras 7 and 8 of the impugned DO that names / CVs for persons falling under the second portion of s/s 3(3)(b) of the Act suggested for consideration for appointment as CVC should only be forwarded by the sponsoring department of the administrative Ministry concerned, and would not be directly entertained by the DoPT. Such a provision is patently de-hors the concerned enactment and I would request you to kindly review the said paragraphs in view of my objection. I also protest that it is not clear to me which would be the concerned department if I was to throw my hat in the ring for consideration.

PS: I would also like to remind you that the Department has still not acknowledged my similar public grievance concerning nominations of private persons to the drafting committee for Central Lok Pal legislation which was outsourced to one Mr "Anna" Hazare @ camp New Delhi.

With best wishes
