Gems of Nitish Kumar
There may be a woman behind every man's success or not, there could
be no denying the fact that there definitely is a team of trusted officials
behind accomplishments of any successful political leader and Nitish

officials. His core team includes Anjani Kumar Singh, Chanchal Kumar,
Atish Chandra, D.S. Gangwar, Amir Subhani, Pratyaya Amrit, Arun Kumar
Singh, S. Siddharth and Dr Gopal Singh - combined together also known
as Navratan or Nine Gems of Nitish Kumar.

Modi is a changed man now. There is difference between Modi of Gujarat
and Modi of India.

More to be pitied than censured
The AGMUT cadre of the IAS and the DANICS are more to be pitied than
censured. The Services have become sacrificial lambs in the fire of
political ambition.
Vijay Kumar
Really unfortunate
It is very sad that the Maharashtra Chief Secretary has to repeatedly
give directions to the officers below him to work properly and not delay
implementation of decisions.
Mahrashtra must be one of the few cadres where officials are showing
such gross and open dereliction of duties.
Those with integrity and sincerity need to take the initiative to set
things right by helping the Chief Secretary and Govt.

Disclosure of
service book
The Appellant sought certified copies of
extracts of the service register of the Senior Regional Manager
of the Respondents in their Bengaluru office. The Respondents
replied that the expression 'service register' was not prevalent
in their organization and they do not maintain any service book
in respect of their Senior Regional Manager. The Appellant stated
that such records should be available in respect of the employees
of the public authority. The CIC held that the records concerning
the service matters of the Senior Regional Manager must have been
maintained by the public authority in one form or the other. If
these are not available as a register or book, these should be
available on files or in electronic form. Further, the CIC observed
that the information is exempt from disclosure under Section 8
(1) (j) of the RTI Act. Referring to the allegation of irregularities
made by the appellant, the CIC held that this allegation cannot
become the ground of larger public interest.
Comments
The High Court of Madhya Pradesh in Shrikant Pandya vs. State
of M.P. [W.P. No. 13646 of 2009, judgment dated 1.2.2010] the
service book contains annual confidential reports and other information
like details of family and nomination thereo which are personal
in nature and a Government servant has a right to guard the same.
If parted with, disclosure would certainly lead to the unwarranted
invasion of privacy of the Government servant. Therefore, a PIO
must remember that as the service book contains personal information
about an employee, it is not liable to be disclosed as such to
an applicant.
