(The views expressed in this column are of

Civil Aviation Security-A great lapse
I agree with the views expressed by SC Tripathi on the subject. On policy
issues and also senior level appointments India only wakes up when tragedies
repeat. As is a famous joke "police team arrives when all the evidences
are cleaned and it is too late to real punish the culprit".
Harish Kumar
Still awaiting empanelment
The CSS officers of 1984 and 1985 batches are still awaiting their empanelment
for Joint Secretary & equivalent posts. The proposal is pending
with DoPT for quite some time, presumably due to non receipt of CVC
clearance. Is there no time frame, no monitoring, no accountability
for this case?
Anand
Maintain batch wise parity for central empanelment
I sincerely hope that the Union Home Minister like his predecessor maintains
the batch wise parity for central empanelment between IPS /IAS at IG/
Joint Secy and DG/ Secy level. He would be known to be a go getter and
indian police leaders have high hopes from him, because of his acumen
and stature..
Ramesh
Well versed in regulations
This will be fantastic as he is very well versed in regulations as well
as issues Industry faces from the authority's side

DATE WITH RTI

Personal information of a government employee
The appellant asked for the service details of a teacher regarding
her date of joining the service, her present residential address
and her salary certificates, etc. During hearing before the CIC,
the teacher submitted that the information seeker is her husband
who is harassing her. She raised objection to the disclosure of
information to the appellant, saying that it is her personal information.
The CIC held that information about salary and official address
of public servant is public in nature and shall be disclosed to
any person including spouse. Salary details including deductions
contained in Salary slip or certificate and residential address
of the public servants is personal information, and also third
party information. Only after proof of larger public interest
such information also can be given. Filing of 50 RTI applications
reflects the personal animosity but not public interest.
Comments
Cases where spouses are seeking information about each other are
now increasingly coming to notice. They may be involved in marital
disputes and cases both civil and criminal, may be filed mutually
against each other. They can also seek information to help them
to prove or disprove the charges. However, it must be born in
mind that information unconnected with the discharge of public
duties should not be provided unless the disclosure establishes
a larger public interest.
