Prohibition may add romance to the booze
When Nitish Kumar announced the prohibition of liquor in Bihar from
the next financial year, every enlightened India is rightly and realistically
skeptical of the success of the laudable policy. The earlier experience
of such policy in other states including Gujarat, where this policy
is presently in operation, has shown that prohibition gives rise to
other sources of unlawful supply of illicit liquor to the drunkards.
After the idea was made part of the Directive Principles ,many states
after Independence tried their hands to implement prohibition, but unfortunately
there has not been any success story to emulate. UP Assembly Elections
will be held in February,2017,so the areas of Bihar bordering UP may
pose big challenge to stop the bootleggers from smuggling the illicit
liquor in the demanding neighbourhood .The rural Bihar is still not
very well connected with the road network, poverty is still a big challenge.
In the states where there is no prohibition, illicit distillation and
sale of liquor has been a very big problem. In the prohibited areas,
when the demand would increase, many people will be tempted to adopt
the business of brewing illicit liquor and in the parlance may give
rise to the hooch tragedies. The troubled Nepal areas may also compound
the problem by smuggling the commodity from across the border. Nitish
with his extra-ordinary attributes and administrative acumen and experience
will have to accept the challenge of potential snags of causing failure
of the grand policy and make it a success for the other states to emulate.

Strange ways of our politicians
Strange are the ways of our politicians. Do wrong things some bordering
on criminality, indulge in corruption ,loot the country when in power,
and when these misdeeds come to light and someone starts investigation
and the matter comes under judicial scrutiny cry 'Vendetta 'by the Government
in power. That is what the mother and son duo of the Congress party
are doing. They are taking the country to ransom by blocking GST and
other bills required to take India on the growth trajectory. Is it not
another criminal act to misuse their status as Members of parliament
for merely obstructing its functioning. Have they been voted as such
to serve their personal agenda. By protesting against a judicial order
to be present personally in court are they not guilty of contempt of
court? They think as VIPs they are too big to appear before a 'lowly'
magistrate. The tragedy is that the poor janta of this country cannot
grasp their clever moves and would not understand the intricacies of
the Herald case and can thus buy the 'harassment 'theory. It is high
time that they should be exposed. One reason why they are emboldened
to be aggressive is since so far no progress has been achieved on the
multi-scams during UPA rule be these 2G spectrum ,Coal Mines allocation
and sundry others. We have not been able to even put the fear of God
in the accused after 18 months. So everybody goes about his business
without bothering about this Government.

DATE WITH RTI

Duration of inspection of the documents
The complainant submitted that the PIO had allowed the inspection
of the records in question for 15 minutes only and that too with
the condition that the entry to the building for the purpose of
inspection shall be at the discretion of the security agencies.
The FAA directed the PIO to provide access to the records to the
appellant in such a manner that the purpose of the application
is fulfilled. The complainant alleged that the PIO has been persistently
causing obstruction to supply of the information to the complainant
despite the orders of the FAA. The PIO contended that he made
effort to get file located which was more than ten year old and
had given prior intimation for inspection of documents. The complainant
admitted that he has been provided the requisite information though
there has been a delay and demanded to be compensated. The CIC
held that due to communication gap, there was a delay in the inspection
of the file by the complainant and no further action is required.
Comments
The duration of inspection and convenience of the applicant to
inspect the documents was the issue under consideration in the
case. Under RTI Rules, an applicant is entitled to one hour inspection
free of any charge and thereafter, on payment of fees. A PIO should
not restrict the timings of an applicant arbitrarily which may
lead to a charge of obstruction to free flow of information.
