Masterstroke Kiran Bedi:
Kiran Bedi can never bring any change in Delhi. Highly autocratic, stubborn
and media savvy. She was never good to her fellow officers. Her stunts
were meant for gimmickry to media and social elites, never for the aam
public. Work of Tihar jail was compilation of works of her earlier predecessors,
neatly showcased to get Magsay Award . One opportunist . All qualities
you name. Let's see. What the result would be ?
Jaiswal
Anna movement has prevailed
Product of Anna movement Kejri & Bedi are dominating Delhi politics.
Fact is that there is no politician today in Delhi. Kejri is No. 1 &
though Bedi is trailing but today ruling Delhi BJP. Modi has left ground.
Ajay Maken only politician is irrelevant. In view of this, Kejri going
to hit road because he is ahead of Bedi in all respect.
Murari Chaturvedi
What was Sujata Singh's fault ?
Sujata Singh got the marching orders for her apolitical advise to the
PM, who, in his first interaction with the senior bureaucrats spoke
of freedom of speech without the fear of repercussions. Is he turning
into a blind man being guided by his own people around him who would
not like to tell him anything negative or critical of him? His stint
as a PM, so far, has been a show of India's foreign policy successes.
He should not confuse it with his successes only. He should not feel
himself to be larger than India. If he continues with such an attitude,
he will find it difficult to have a team of advisers who can speak his/her
mind out to him. Indian bureaucracy should work for the nation and not
fora particular political personality, be it the Prime Minister himself.

Need for Railways is technology
The need for Railways today is technology. Look at what value online
ticket booking has created, The valuation of irctc booking itself should
be around 3-4bnUSD. Similar ideas for promoting clean technologies should
be implemented. Even simple things like train announcements, food supply
and passenger comforts needs to be digitized. Min of railways can create
an ecosystem to create more apps and e commerce services just around
railways. This can create a massive technology space and innovative
services especially in smaller towns near railway stations which are
huge consumer of services.

Information related to ongoing trial
The Appellant sought copies of all correspondence exchanged between
the bank and CBI / CVC/ other government departments, along with
office note with regard to certain allegations levelled against
her and the sanction sought by the CBI for her prosecution. The
Public Information Officer (PIO) denied the above information
on the ground that it was regarding CBI investigation pending
prosecution and its disclosure was likely to hamper the progress
in the steps being initiated by the agency. The respondents added
that the matter concerning the Appellant is now before a CBI court.
The Central Information Commission (CIC) upheld the denial holding
that once the stage of an order framing charges have been crossed,
it would be open to the accused to make an appropriate application
before the learned trial court to summon the above documents in
accordance with the law.
Comments
A document may be available with one public authority and copies
of the same may be available with other public authorities. In
such situations, there is a confusion which public authority should
take a decision regarding the disclosure of information. Under
the RTI Act, the right to access the information is that which
is "under the control of" which implies that the information,
regardless of which public authority holds it, is under the control
of a specific public authority on whose orders alone it can be
produced in a given proceeding. In case of an ongoing court proceeding,
the documents related to the proceedings are under the control
of the Trial Court, who alone can decide how the information is
to be dispensed.
