DEBATE
Debate - Future of AAP after internal bickerings
?
Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) recent mammoth victory in Delhi was a super-landslide
(the winning party securing 90 percent or more seats). Even the Congress
which had the natural advantage of leading the freedom struggle successfully
and had stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi
could never achieve it in any general election despite dominating the
political scene in the country post independence. The rise of the Aam
Aadmi Party indicated that people once again saw politics as an act
of faith and hope but given the bickerings among its leaders in too
a short span, the question that now arises is that What is the future
of AAP ?

NJAC recommendation must for appointment
As per NJAC Act, after its enforcement, NJAC can recommend names and
president may appoint on that recommendation. There is no saving clause
in act which can regularize the pending matter. So after that without
recommendation of NJAC every appointment is illegal and those names
will not be accommodated by NJAC .
Yusuf
Notification of National Judicial Appointments Commission
The notification for constituting NJAC was issued on April 13, 2015.
A five-member Constitution Bench of SC will examine the validity of
the notification. Is this the beginning of a confrontation between the
Parliament and Judiciary, the two pillars of democracy. Top jurists
and retired judges of SC have levelled allegations of nepotism, favouritism,
arbitrariness and partiality on the erstwhile Collegium system. Will
the SC stay operation of notification, one wonders ?
A K Saxena (A retd civil servant)
Corruption
Recent appointments as CVO's show that certain persons want to stay
in Delhi power centre to lobby. It seems that power was robbed by certain
regions. It is very dangerous. It enhances corruption rather than remove
it. Government should look into it.

DATE WITH RTI
|

|
Copies of correspondence regarding bank
loan
The Appellant and her husband availed a housing loan and a case
was filed by them in the Consumer Court regarding charging of
excessive interest on the loan account. The Appellant sought copies
of two letters exchanged between the zonal office and a branch
of the bank. Respondents submitted that housing loan was granted
to the Appellant for purchase of land and construction of house
thereon, but construction was not carried out and the account
has become NPA. The Respondents further submitted that copies
of the letters sought by the Appellant were not provided as it
is their internal correspondence and held in a fiduciary capacity.
The CIC held that the correspondence pertains to the loan account
of the Appellant and is not held by the Respondents in a fiduciary
capacity. Disagreeing with the denial of information under section
8(1)(e) of the RTI Act, the CIC directed the PIO to provide the
copies of the two letters sought by the appellant free of cost.
Comments
If there was any part of the correspondence
which was of commercial interest to the bank, perhaps a claim
could have been made for exemption from disclosure for that particular
part of letter under section 8 (1) (d) of the RTI Act.
