No questions!

Such decisions bonafidely taken could be floated by the bureaucrats as 'TBD' decisions and released for implementations, so that at least 50% of the praise/ blame would go as royalty to the PM in all fairness. Any takers?

Civil society is not always right

Decentralisation of Power is Key to Fight Corruptio, says Anna Hazare. I disagree with him. While monopolism is bad, decentralisation is not the sole key to corruption.Factors like unfettered misuse of discretionary powers combined with lack of accountability, are primarily responsible for the cesspool of corruption the country is in today.

To put it simply :--

Corruption = (Discretion + Monopoly) - Accountability

RTI

Can an applicant insist on getting a signature verified under RTI?

Through the RTI application filed with the Department of Revenue, Government of NCT of Delhi, the applicant requested the Public Information Officer (PIO) to verify the caste certificate issued to her husband. The PIO informed the applicant that the caste certificate mentioned by her in the application was not recorded in the register available with them. The First Appellate Authority (FAA) directed the PIO to allow the inspection of relevant records to the appellant. The respondent stated that they do not have any record by which they could verify the authenticity of signature in the caste certificate the
appellant has mentioned in the RTI application. The appellant provided a copy of the caste certificate available with him requesting the PIO to verify whether the signature was that of the then BDO so that he can intimate the reply to the concerned authorities in his office who had questioned the authenticity of his caste certificate. The respondent submitted that he was a junior officer and was not in a position to write to the Deputy Commissioner (the then BDO) and ask him to verify his own signature. The Commission directed that the PIO to transfer the appellant's RTI application to the Deputy Commissioner so that he may give factual information to the appellant after verifying the authenticity of signature (whether it is his signature or not) on the caste certificate the appellant has mentioned.

Comments

Ordinarily, the Commission has adopted the practice of giving a direction to provide the copy of the relevant document like, the caste certificate in this case, rather than getting into the nitty-gritty of verifying the signature. This case is likely to set a trend in future
where someone may be asked to verify the authenticity of documents.
