Who will win the Delhi elections?
Most of the educated middle class would be divided over Arvind Kejriwal
and Kiran Bedi. Lawyers could vote for Kejriwal, policemen and women
could vote for Kiran Bedi. Punjabis could vote for Kiran Bedi, jhuggis
could vote for Kejriwal. Junior Government servants could vote for Kejriwal,
seniors could vote for Bedi. Interesting fight. The decisive vote could
be of those who were traditionally Congress voters but would be forced
into either camp this time so as not to waste their vote. Between the
two, there is little to differentiate, Bedi is more experienced but
Kejriwal is more energetic. With his own party, he does not face any
infighting either. However, his style is as dictatorial as Bedi's allegedly
is. Both might be termed opportunistic, but at the same time, both might
be seeking to serve people.

Class IV govt. employees dead against Modi
Some Class IV government employees are dead against Narendra Modi in
the Delhi elections. The reason is that they have to come on time and
do their work ever since the Swachch Bharat campaign has started, which
they were not in the habit of doing.
A K Singh
Administrative ministries are main defaulters
The poor performance of the PSUs is not on account of the PSUs. The
administrative ministries are the main defaulters. The Ministers have
the power to change priority of the two recommendations of the PESB.
Have you not heard about the mulching of the PSUs by the Ministers and
Officers. Not to forget the politically powerful employees and shirker
of work of PSUs. The PSUs are more private company in the country as
they are own by only one person that the Government. Whereas the private
limited companies are more public as they raise from the public.

DATE WITH RTI

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.
