Next Tamil Nadu Chief Minister !
Grapewine has it that in the event of Supreme Court verdict going against
her in the DA case, Ms Jayalalitha's choice for the post of Chief Minster
seems to have narrowed down to R. Natraj, IPS, former DGP, who is being
fielded from Mylapore Assembly Constituency. After getting fed up Sasikala
and O Panneerselvam (both of whom belong to Mukkulathur community),
Ms Jayalalitha now prefers a Brahmin to occupy the post of Chief Minister.
During the last five years, a Deputy Collector promoted Brahmin K N
Venkataramanan, IAS (Retired), has been her most trusted Private Secretary
who has been responsible for all major decisions. It is quite likely
that the two Brahmins will run the show for the next couple of years
in Tamil Nadu as AIADMK's return to power is a foregone conclusion.
Both are known for their integrity and honesty and there has been no
major scandal during the last five years.

Big Bank defaulters care two hoots
Recently Arun Jaitley and Raghuram Rajan have talked about tough times
ahead for loan defaulters. Perhaps they are not aware the times for
the small loan seekers and defaulters have always been tough. The flak
received by the government from the public at large in the recent Mallya
case has prompted the Finance minister Jaitley to coin some terms to
make these into sweet slogans for hoodwinking the gullible public. Otherwise,
the big business houses, who have financed the political parties and
leaders to win elections with the same borrowed money from the banks,
and who have cultivated friendship with the ministers and Bankers, and
have on their boards big political guns, know better about these imbecile
and beguiling threats. The system as at present is meant to cheat the
banks and will continue as such till the political system becomes moral
and ethical.

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.
