" Is CBI's clean chit to ex- PM, a cover-up operation ?"
Whispersinthecorridors' Home Page ( 2nd Oct ,2015) " Yeh waala
Jhadoo daale gandh... MMS says all Coal files he did not read!... Or
may be Sonia's orders he did heed files for her to see…",
should serve as wake up call to those who matter CBI's clean chit to
MMS have raised suspicions in public mind.
(a)How could CBI ignore the Constitutional guaranteed Principle of
Equality before Law? (b) What convinced the CBI that file notings and
ex-PM's non-interference with screening committee's recommendations,
did not suggest his complicity? Misplaced perception; (c) What precluded
ex-PM from perusing files, applying his mind before approving illegal
coal blocks allocations; (d) Did CBI interrogate MMS's top aides on
their failure to advise ex-PM on the propriety of decisions taken ?
Were they gagged by the political class? (e)Who is trying to save the
wrongdoers? Is there any underhand political deal ?
Manmohan Singh's oft-repeated public statements like: " I have
respect for judicial processes" … ; " I am open for legal
scrutiny"… ; "Truth will prevail"… ; I will
get a chance to put forward my case with full facts" … , are
political rhetorics. These cannot absolve him from his responsibilities
as ex- Coal Minister in deciding illegal allocation of coal blocks in
Jharkhand to Navin Jindal group of firms. It was open secret that all
decisions were taken by ex-PM under oral directions of 10-Janpath. He
has now to pay for the sins committed by the "high command"
The public has faith in Judiciary. It trusts that the CBI is no
longer the caged parrot ?

Delay in payment
of final bill
The appellant sought reasons for withholding the payment of final
bill after completion of the work even though a period of 5 years
elapsed and whether final EOT and RE is approved by General Manager's
office signaling clearance of final payment of the bill. The Respondent
stated that final payment is under process and the same was already
intimated to the appellant. On a query by the Commission as to
why the payment is not made to the appellant, Respondent stated
that the work was awarded in 2005 for Rs. 2 crores and completed
in 2008 but the minor works were pending which was completed in
2009. He further stated most of the payment has been made and
now only a lumsum of Rs 10 lakh is due for payment. After hearing
both the parties and on perusal of record the Commission directs
the respondent to provide revised reply giving complete status
along with reasons for withholding the payment to the appellant
within one week of receipt of this order under intimation to the
Commission.
Comments
For commercial disputes, the contractors are frequently using
the RTI Act. The officials should be careful about timely processing
of claims and the disposal of the bills.
