Obama wants Modi's help in US Prez elections?
In the political and social circles in Delhi, the buzz is that US President
Barack Obama wants Indian PM's help in securing Indian-American votes
in the US Prez election scheduled for next year. When Indian PM Modi
visited the US in September last year, he was given a heroic welcome
by Indians settled in USA. This impressed Obama and now he wants to
cash in Narendra Modi's popularity among Indians. Now the time will
tell whether Obama would be able to translate such Indian votes, which
has a sizeable population, in favour of his party's candidate.

Enhance retirement age to 61 years
Need to enhance the retirement age had been discussed times and again.
In order to avoid injustice to the present employees, government should
consider to enhance retirement age to 61 years so that all the present
employees get the additional retirement benefits of 7th pay commission.

Organisation notorious for corruption
DGS&D is an organisation notorious for corruption. When the New
NDA government had taken over, I had written elsewhere that this monolith
should be wound up and the concerned Ministries and Departments should
be authorised to invite tenders for their requirements within the budget
allocation and make direct purchases. DGS&D is a white elephant
for which both the government and the vendors pay- the government in
white and the vendor in black.

Congrats. Vinod Rai Sir. Hope you will definitely put some idea which
boosts Railways.

Property details in relation to a court
case
The Applicant sought information regarding the details of the
properties of her estranged husband as per records of the bank.
The PIO denied the information under Section 8 (1) (d) of the
RTI Act on the ground that it pertained to a third party. The
applicant submitted that she needs the details of the properties
of her estranged husband to get a share in the same for herself
and her child. The CIC referred to the Supreme Court judgment
in Girish Ramchandra Deshpande vs. Central Information Commissioner
and Ors. [Special Leave Petition (Civil) No. 27734 of 2012] and
held that the information sought by the Applicant is exempted
from disclosure under Section 8 (1) (j) of the RTI Act.
Comments
Just because a public servant is in litigation with someone in
the course of a private dispute, the personal information cannot
be provided to establish the truth of allegations. Such disclosure
cannot be said to be in "public interest" as the litigation
is a private one.
