Chat with my CA Friend ....

My Chartered Accountant buddy is much sought after by Celebrities. From his Office we walk down to The Oberoi to have a bite at the small 'Office goers' Coffee Shop at the rear end of the Property

Me: So Buddy seems like you've had a very busy morning...

Friend: The King (winking) was in my Office bawling his head off .... why the hell did he have to shoot off his mouth in the first place ...I think the intolerance he says he felt was within Bollywood ... its a man eat man Industry...they can't tolerate each others success..

M: So the info in the Media is right that his movie has done badly for the Distributors ....

F: Yes they bought the movie based on very buoyant projections ...King's movie always sells for a higher price ...and now the Distributors are demanding some refund ...because they say he must pay the price for firing his mouth. .

M: Yup I feel he should compensate the Distributors ..but I'd also add...I hear the movie is not too good ...I heard someone say ..if you did not see this movie you are .. Dimaagwaala..

F: And in future Distribution Contracts, Distributors are going to insist addition of clause which would make King liable for his verbal misadventures. .

M: Yaar have you noticed how every effort ...external and internal is being made to bog Modi down. .

F: I was expecting this... at the Aaykar Bhavan there is a new Commissioner who I would say is ridiculously honest ...now I see it every day there are attempts by the corrupt lot to create obstacles for him... tarnish his name ...because they know a honest man would be extremely touchy about his reputation. ..

M: Poor guy ...

F: And I'm sure with help from crooked Tax Payers who depend on rooking Taxes ...they'll just whisper in a conversation ..so and so Commissioner ka mooh bahut khulla hai...buss ...most people would not bother to check out ... and if their case is with him and he is not playing ball they'll think he's just trying to raise his price...

F: See Jaitley's case ... its like this... it was a Honorary Post ... being a CA I do it in my Honorary Posts all the time ....I sign documents very differently than I would if it was my Chartered Accountancy practice ... we tend to overlook nitty gritty and trust the guys who do this as a job...we just look at major issues..

M: He's taken it to heart. ...

F: Any honest man would ...the IT Commissioner I mentioned is depressed and I think he's started seeing a Psychiatrist. ..by the way if they just check out a couple of other cricket Stadiums ...... add Construction inflation ... Kotla one would literally look as if it's ...free of cost ......

We do justice to our plates and say our byes and go our ways..

Legacy of non performance

President Obama has observed twice that the Indian regime be more responsive to the tolerance issues raised now and then. .President of India has reminded the government in power for 4 times to be sensitive to the issue of tolerance. After Attacks on Christians just before Delhi elections and after repeated hate speeches by some BJP MPs, return of honours and awards by the gems of India, and murders of the innocent people by the rowdies on the grounds of intolerance, the words of Modi spoken with great effort and difficulty have never matched by commensurate action on the ground, so atmosphere of intolerance has been gradually growing to intimidate even the noblest and the braves amongst the human beings like Raghuram Rajan and Aamir Khan. Any gesture of goodwill by the regime in the past has remained a figment of the imagination only and nothing has changed on the ground. The gesture of inviting Sonia or Manmohan on GST is only an isolated episode of business transaction and cannot be treated as change in general policy of decimation of the opponents of all hues and colours. Cabinet has remained a puppet and a non performer for a long period in the eras of alliances and coalitions, and only the scratching of backs of each other has been resorted to, and hope of its vibrant performance under the present regime and to expect the ministers to deliver for public cause is only a mirage effect. Let us hope for some number of towering human beings in the cabinet as it was immediately after the Independence, to perform irrespective of the charms of power and pelf and commitment to always ready to sacrifice their berths for the good causes. Words such as faithful soldier of the party have become horribly stale and stinking waters of Satluj near Harike.

DATE WITH RTI

Disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction and encroachment

Photocopy of entire case file of unauthorised construction of building was denied by the PIO, East Delhi Municipal Corporation on ground of being third party information. In his initial reply, the PIO provided contradictory information about whether the property has been sealed. The appellant stated that due to unauthorised construction on the above mentioned property, extensive damage was caused to his house. The respondent claimed that the sealing and de-sealing of any property is personal in nature. The CIC observed that disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction and encroachment does not require clearance from any third party. Looking into the circumstances of the case, the CIC granted a compensation of Rs. 25,000/- to be paid to the appellant u/s 19(8) (b) of the RTI Act. Further, a show cause notice was issued to the PIO as to why penalty should not be imposed on him u/s 20 RTI Act, 2005 for outright deliberate denial of information.

Comments

Sealing and de-sealing of any property is a part of official work.
