Misuse of government resources
Regulatory bodies like Water Commission, Telecom Regulatory, Airports
Regulatory etc, mostly retired persons are appointed Chairman and Members.
They get fat salary of Rs.4,25,000/- and Rs.3,75,000/- without Car and
house. But they use government and private v ehicles of office, Servants,
Guards, etc. This is misuse of government resources . Department of
expenditure control these types of expenditure. Acts should be notified
again to control the expenditure.

Machhender Nathn appointed as a Chairman of Airports Economic Regulatory
Authority. Congratulations. Now improvement of condition AERA office
and Staff is possible.
Sita Ram
Mufti playing dangerous game
Mufti is playing a very dangerous game in Jammu &Kashmir with his
personal political agenda in mind. On the very first day of his becoming
Chief Minister he shocked the country in giving credit to Pakistan,
militants and separatists for the smooth election process in the state.
This was an insult not only to our brave security forces, the Election
Commission but the people of J&K.His subsequent utterences and then
the plan to release terrorists like Masarat Alam from prison are frightening
messages to throw the state once again in turmoil of violence. He is
provoking Bhartiya Janta Party .His game plan is to come into power
with the help of all these traitors if BJP withdraws from the coalition.BJP
is really in a Catch 22 situation. If they do not leave the coalition
they would be a party to his anti-national agenda and if they withdraw
they will not be able to win even from Jammu in the next election as
they will have to face the anger of people there. Tying up with Mufti
is the greatest miscalculation of BJP. They should have looked into
the past of this man before trusting him. National Conference is a better
bet as both Farook and Omar ,whatever their other faults may be ,could
not have been so anti-national.BJP should try to get out of Mufti's
trap before further damage to the country is done.

Communication by Lt Governor of Delhi
regarding appointment of CM
The appellant sought copies of all communication made between
Lt Governor of Delhi and Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, Central Government,
Commissioner of Police & Advocate General or Solicitor Generalregarding
appointment of Chief Minister. The PIO declined disclosure claiming
exemption under section 8(1)(c) of RTI Act. The Central Information
Commission (CIC) referred to the Apex Court decision in the case
of SP Gupta vs Union of India, wherein it was held that while
the exact advice given by the Council of Ministers to the President
could not be examined by the court, the material on which such
advice was based was not excluded from the judicial purview. The
CIC held that appointing a Chief Minister of a state is an open
public activity. It is also not the case of respondent that the
correspondence between Executive Head of State and leader who
staked claim to form the Government could not be disclosed when
the decision is still in the process. No harm would cause to any
interest whether public interest, protected interest or interest
in protecting the communication sought by the appellant.
Comments
This case pertains to the time before the election of the Delhi
Assembly. It is important as it discusses what constitutes a breach
of privilege of Parliament or the State Legislature. Section 8(1)(c)
of the RTI Act says that there shall be no obligation to give
any citizen information, the disclosure of which would cause a
breach of privilege of Parliament or the State Legislature. Article
74(2) of the Constitution of India prohibits the courts from inquiring
into the question 'whether any and if so what advice was tendered
by Ministers to President'

No. CIC/SA/A/2014/000836
