Wakeup call to new Chairman, AERA
So, finally, speculations have been come to a full circle on appointment
of Chairman, AERA. Government has appointed S. Machendranathan, IAS
as new Chairman, AERA. We welcome this gesture of the government. No
doubt, Machendranathan is a thorough gentleman and will take AERA to
a new height during his stint. At the same time, we would like to caution
him of AAI sycophants. Many of them would have approached him with lucrative
offers/freebies or likely to offer in the coming days. By doing so,
they will trap him in their net and do wrongdoings afterwards. Moreover,
AERA is being run by these AAI officials and not by the government of
India officers. That is why many financial irregularities have been
done in the past in AERA, which new Chairman will notice in the passing
days of his tenure. In the light of the foregoing, we would urge him
to send these AAI officials (who are here on honeymoon trip since inception
of AERA) to their parent office so that their services could be better
utilized there. This may be treated as wake up call.

DATE WITH RTI

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'
