DEBATE -1 Who will make the best Prime Minister in India ?
He or she should possess all these qualities and at the same time should be decisive and daring to take the country forward. Like Raghuraman should be prepared to receive criticism and learn out of it.

Partiality galores


Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, CGHS Teaching Specialists become Professor in 6 years. It is irony that CGHS calls them Professors in 6 years from date of joining while they are in grade pay(GP) of Rs 8700/- only. With MACP, these doctors gets Rs 10000/- GP after 13 years. On getting SAG/GP(Rs10,000) only they should be only made professor in order to equate them to the professors of other medical colleges.

DATE WITH RTI

Disclosure of summary note put up before the Selection Committee

Copies of the biographical information including the academic qualification and work experience of all the candidates which had been put up before the Selection Committee for the post of Principal National Defence Academy were denied u/s 8(1)(e) and 8(1)(j). During the hearing, the Appellant claimed that he should be provided with the desired information if not for everyone else, at least for himself. Respondent claimed that the Supreme Court of India had stayed the order of the CIC directing UPSC to disclose the personal details of selected candidates in any recruitment process vide order dated 11 May 2012 in the SLP No. 8890, 9079, 9085 and 9141 of 2012. CIC ruled that there should be no objection to disclose the summary note which had been put up before the Selection Committee in respect of the biographical information including the academic qualification and work experience of the Appellant himself.

Comments

There is a need for the Hon'ble Supreme Court to take a clear stand on such cases at an early date to avoid piling up of similar cases.
