Will an outsider know what is bogie, couplers, brakes etc ?
Even the IRTS, IRAS and IRPS are taught about the technical working
training during their training days. Will an outsider know what is bogie,
couplers, brakes etc.. Then how will an outsider who is going to run
the railways know about the railway operations like movement of traffic,
route kilometerage, EMUs, different of type of wagons and their use.

Vox Populi
"Water more important than cricket"
Right to Life is a Fundamental Right
Right to provide water to Indian citizens, is the Fundamental duty of
the Government.
Provide water to them or quit.
There is nothing called Right to play Cricket.
IPL is not a national game. It is a commercial venture. It is like playing
politics.

DATE WITH RTI

Copies of documents held after the completion of retention
period
The appellant filed the RTI application seeking attested copies
of external examination question papers of B. Arch. for a certain
period, some answer sheets etc. The Respondent informed that according
to rules of the University, the students are supposed to apply
for copies of answer sheets, within 15 days from the date of declaration
of the result. As per the University's retention policy, answer
sheets are retained for three months, from the date of declaration
of result. But, if the student fails to apply within the prescribed
period of 15 days, the answer sheets cannot be given to the student,
though the same are held by the public authority upto three months.
The CIC ruled that the above retention policy of the University
is not a correct practice. If they have retained the answer sheets,
even after the prescribed retention period for any reason, they
cannot deny if it is not destroyed as on the date of RTI application
Comments
No public authority can impose additional restrictions over and
above those prescribed under Section 8 of the RTI Act to deny
any information to the applicant. A Public Authority is expected
to make its own record retention policy and provide information
to any RTI applicant as per the same as long as the records are
not weeded out. If the records have been retained even after the
prescribed retention period, copies of the same cannot be denied
if it is not destroyed as on the date of RTI application. Further,
a Public Authority is required to hold the records, if an RTI
application is pending before the authorities.
