Lokpal not a panacea for all ills
Controversy of Lokpal Bill passed by Delhi Assembly has again brought
forth the ill-conceived perception that it or better than it legislation
may end all the evils concerning Delhi people and the Government. When
Anna Hazare started agitation and fast unto death for bringing about
this legislation, many rational people were skeptical about the adequacy
of the Act itself to eradicate corruption and allied evils from the
society. Already, many states have this institution of Lokpal in place
,but without any success in reduction in corruption at any level. The
institutions of Vigilance Commission, Special CBI courts, Ombudsman
and the Lokpal in itself have so far failed to address the evil of corruption
by public-men and in public offices. The whole gamut of ideology, politics
and human development needs to be addressed before hoping any such Institution
to cleanse public men. The controversy is an exercise in futility.

So much for the much hyped skill development
The average income of a Security Guard is about Rs 5000 to Rs. 5500
per month which is likely to remain the same for the next five years.
This is a little above the wage in the Rural Employment Scheme So much
for the much hyped skill development , better employability etc for
such sectors !

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.
