No intention to check corruption


While the new proposal on judicial appointments is welcome, but if laws were the solution to check corruption, we should not have had corruption in our country as we have so many laws, made so easily that full enforcement is almost impossible. Actual issue in our country is lack of "Neeyat" to check corruption. If there is a will to reward honesty and merit and punish all those who go against it...corruption will be largely taken care.

DATE WITH RTI

Order disposing the review petition against dismissal

The Appellant was an employee of the Bank and was dismissed from service in 2001. He had filed a review petition, which was disposed of. He sought a copy of the original order signed by the Reviewing Authority to dispose of his review petition. It was denied by the Public Information Officer (PIO) under Section 8(1)(d) and Section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act, on the ground that it was internal and confidential information. The Appellant submitted that he is entitled to receive the information sought by him and wants to be sure that his review petition was disposed of by the competent reviewing authority. The CIC observed that it is not apparent how disclosure of this information can harm the competitive position of the Bank or of a third party. The CIC held that Section 8(1)(e) is not relevant because the Appellant is asking for information regarding disposal of his own Review Petition and not that of a third party.

Comments

If information pertains to an individual, it would be difficult for a PIO to deny to the same individual claiming it as personal or fiduciary information of a third party.
