Medical dichotomy
If something cannot stand the scrutiny in a Court of Law, then what
is the remedy in those medico-legal cases where injustice is meted out
by way of lethargy, oversight or negligence. Is it not the duty of medical
experts to enlighten the members of the judiciary to show the facts
whenever an allegation is leveled against them? I'm not clear.

DATE WITH RTI

CPIO is not a mere post office
The appellant sought action taken by the Police officials on
his complaint. During hearing, theCommission noted that the PIO
had simply forwarded the reply given by SHO (deemed CPIO) to the
Appellant without examining whether it contained the complete
and correct information or not. The CPIO, being a statutory authority,
is expected to examine the request for information and then pass
a speaking order. The CIC directed the CPIO directed to examine
the Appellant's complaint afresh under the relevant provision
of law and then provide the factual information. The CIC observed
that many
RTI applications are received seeking certain categories of information
like the status of complaint; processing of complaints filed before
the police and their outcome; D.D. No.; FIR No.; progress of investigation;
outcome of investigation etc. The CIC asked the Commissioner of
Delhi to put forth his considered views on the feasibility of
placing such information on website of the public authority.
Comments
The CPIO should examine the information received from the deemed
PIO and ask for clarification if the documents do not pertain
to the information sought by the applicant. All public authorities
may consider putting information related to frequently asked data
pro-actively on the website is likely to reduce the number of
applications filed with them.
