FORUM

(The views expressed in this column are of the contributors. We do not owe any responsibility, whatsoever, of the views of our surfers as they are their personal opinion. However, we would also request our contributors not to be personal, directly or indirectly, in presenting their views. Instead of countering the views which ‘X’ has already expressed, our contributors are advised to present their own views. Also be brief, say about 200 words at the most since any views longer than that if eliminated at our end would carry the risk of the contrbutor’s item losing its original essence)

DEBATE (1) Retirement Age
I welcome the step to lower retirement age of not only Govt. employees but also of politicians. Govt. officer should also be permitted to go on leave without pay with lien to their parent department to any private organisation for career development for some limited period say 5 years.
AKS

DEBATE (2) Retirement Age

On taking decision of retirement age from 58 to 60 years, officials/staff got stuck up with their promotion by 2 years and in many cases if the retirement age is reduced they will suffer a loss of two years of service and and four years in upgradation resuluting in loss of next higher promotion if they retire at the age of 58. God bless them in their prospects.

DATE WITH RTI

Destruction of records during the pendency of RTI application

An application was filed under the RTI Act seeking information regarding appointment of Associate Professor. The Public Information Officer (PIO) replied that no such information was available. The CIC did not accept the claim of the respondents that the record is weeded out without showing their Weeding out Policy, especially when an RTI application is pending in respect of that record. The CIC observed that if the record is weeded out during the pendency of the RTI application, they will be held responsible. Referring to the Public Records Act, 1993, the CIC asked the PIO to submit a certified copy of the record retention schedule followed by the public authority and the file noting with respect to the appellants file which had been weeded out, along with the date of destruction.

Comments

Even if the records have outlived the time prescribed under weeding out policy, the same cannot be destroyed if an application under the RTI Act is pending. If any such records are destroyed, a demand can be made for imposition of penalty under Section 20 of RTI Act.
