Bureaucracy not in tune with the Modi government
The Indian Bureaucracy mainly controlled by IAS Officers is not in tune
with the Modi Government. While the Modi Government has abolished different
yardsticks for different officers belonging to different services, the
IAS Officers has not overcome the practice of treating themselves as
elite. Recently, an ISS Officer serving under MOS&PI has been issued
recorded warning just for sending a notesheet to his counterpart IAS
Officer. The IAS Officer desires that he should be treated as employer
and the officers belonging to ISS even if senior to him should address
him as Sir and be treated as employee. Unfortunately, General V.K. Singh
has no time to see these details.
Bharatee Jee
RTI Act
While RTI Act has lead to transparency in many fields, the Supreme Court
and High Court have tried to shield themselves from the disclosure norms
which are otherwise applicable on other organizations. The courts should
permit disclosure of all documents under RTI rather than asking for
applying for the documents under the respective court rules and procedure.
This would lead to a new wave of transparency in the working of the
courts.
Shivani Sharma
Misuse of RTI
RTI Act is being wrongly utilized by many applicants.Some are sending
complaints and grievances with regard to product or service deficiency
through RTI route. While some others are sending repeated requests without
any change in then set of questions, and through online portal a particular
RTI applicant has sent hundreds of same Request, which is rubbish.

Parliament canteen subsidy
There is a wrong notion under circulation on the Parliament canteen
subsidy. We have around 800 MPs. Each session is between 20 and 25 days
which works out to around 100 days a year. This is the period when most
of the MPs attend parliament. How muchnfood these MPs can eat within
this 100 days? In fact the bulk of the facilities of subsidy is availed
by the staff of parliament in the name of these MPs and many of them
even pack food for home. So dont blame someone blindly without knowing
the facts.

DATE WITH RTI

Disclosure of the reasons for the decision taken by the Supreme
Court
The appellant sought for the copy of judicial record related to
the case decided by the Supreme Court of India and the reasons
for some of the conclusions reached in that order. The Public
Information Officer (PIO) advised the appellant to deposit a certain
amount of money for getting the copy of the order and informed
him that it is beyond the scope of the PIO's duty to offer any
justification/explanation for the orders passed by the Supreme
Court of India. The First Appellate Authority (FAA) endorsed the
views of the PIO. The Central Information Commission rejected
the appeal observing that if there are certain conclusions in
the order, the reasons for those conclusions have to be found
out in the order itself. The PIO cannot interpret the order and
come out with his own justifications.
Comments
Explanations cannot be sought under the RTI Act. There are many
cases where the judge has not given any reasons or justification
for coming to a conclusion. The only remedy available is to go
for an appeal. However, if a case is thrown out with a single
word "dismissed" by the apex court, there is very little
option for an individual.
