"Misplaced perception"

Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal seem to be needlessly gloating over their 'popularity' in Pakistan media by demanding proofs of surgical strikes in POK. What is their locus standi ? What is their motive? These loose-cannons, masquerading as super patriots , take pride in insulting India's brave hearts encouraging terror groups in Pakistan. Demoralizing India's Armed Forces without realising the security implications, is an act of sedition. Further, seeking details of military operations in the theatre of war attracts the Official Secrets Act 1923. All Indians are expected to support PM Modi to the hilt, in a war-like situation, which is going to escalate .
A K Saxena (A retd civil servant)

Cacophony on surgical strike sickening

The continuous cacophony on the surgical strike is quite sickening. It is belittling the glory and bravery of our soldiers who dared to strike the terrorists' launch pad inside the Pak- occupied territory. Why cannot we just keep quiet' both the ruling dispensation and the opposition' and let our much beleaguered armed forces bask in their achievement. Instead of raising the morale of our forces we are adding to their disgust by this competitive fight over this strike which took place two weeks ago. It is high time these two 'surgical strike' are given a decent burial.

DATE WITH RTI

Multiple RTI Applications seeking huge information

The applicant sought huge information pertaining to Income Tax offices. He also wanted to know the basis of conducting survey and search and the specific steps taken to stop tax evasion during the financial year 2013-14 etc. The PIO submitted that the appellant has filed as many as 30 appeals before the Central Information Commission seeking all and sundry information and despite heavy pressure they have made strenuous efforts to provide the information. He further stated that much of the information sought by the appellant is in the public domain and can be accessed by visiting the department's website www.incometaxindia.in. The appellant stated that he had lodged a TEP against a medical store in early 2015 and wants to know what action has been taken by the department. He further stated that he wants a copy of the scheme for payment of award to informants. He also requested for a note explaining the method adopted by the Income Tax Department for assessment and scrutiny. The PIO stated that he will supply the information as requested above by the appellant. The CIC observed that once a certain information is placed in the public domain accessible to the citizens either freely, or on payment of a predetermined price, that information cannot be said to be 'held' or 'under the control of' the public authority and, thus would cease to be an information accessible under the RTI Act. The Commission hoped the appellant will take a careful note of the above judicial observations and refrain from filing frivolous RTI applications in future.

Comments


Whenever one is seeking information under the RTI Act, the RTI Application should be focused and specific. Asking for voluminous information through multiple applications may lead to a charge of abuse of the process of law.
