Achche Dinn...

Don't fall for this Samajhwaadi drama!!!
UP Voters ka banaa rahe hai Mama!!

This is their way of beating anti incumbency!!
Because in UP for SP there is total despondency!!

Voter is being enticed to vote for young khoon!!
If they come to power SP clan will be together soon!!

For now Akhilesh and Chacha Shivpal have daggers drawn!
Both are showing their political brawn!!

Total plan has Amar Singh stamped all over it!!
Ask him and he'll fib ... but I'm so unfit!!

SC says a Bully bullies aur doosro ko karta hai blame!!
Kejriwal is the Bully's name!!

He's bullying Delhites and blaming Modi and LG!!!
Always saying both are giving me hell ji!!

Naach na jaane sabh kuch tedha!!!
Day one se Public ko banaa raha hai yeda!!

Rahul bhagao is spreading!!
Something that Sonia's been dreading! !

Now two Congis from Goa refused to meet Ze Yuvraj!!!
Rebellion has started against The Raj!!

After Brits left we got another form of The Raaj!!
These Rulers feel India came to them in Daaj (Dowry)!!

The unthinkable is taking place now!!!
For quite a few Congis Rahul is no longer the calf of the Holy Cow!!

BCCI is an Industry in itself!!!
Wields a lot of pelf!!

Imagine here all Political lines melt!!
Within BCCI each other with political barbs they do not pelt!!

There's camaraderie and understanding!
For BCCI together they are seen standing!!

This gelling of vested interests needs to be broken!!
Thank God to this malaise the Courts have awoken! !

Prior to appointing anyone an Affidavit should be taken!!
That any and all Political links the individual has shaken !

If found to be politically active or even inclined!!
He or she would agree to be heavily fined!!

If our Netas love the game so much play it or watch it!!
But on no Body the love of this sport qualifies them to sit!!

Confucius says.... India mein badlaav ki hawaa is blowing!!!
Their beautiful faces Ms. Propriety and Ms. Probity are showing!!

Adds...Harbingers of Achche Dinn!!!
Where sin is a sin!!

Lohani must opt to lead his parent department

I have read that the Railways are still incurring a 4000 crore rupee loss annually. Why does Ashwini Lohani not opt to "lead his parent department from the front?'.

Amitabh Agrawal

"Five IPS officers rehabilitated" -

This caption in your columns appears a day after a TV channel highlighted that (only) some IPS officers were in occupation of Govt accommodation though they had retired. A mere coincidence?

Surinder Pal

DATE WITH RTI

Missing records cannot be used as an excuse to deny information

The appellant stated that he joined the service in 1981 and is on the verge if retirement. He claimed that he has not got even a single promotion during his entire service period, though he is eligible as per rulers. He sought certain documents claiming that due to non-availability of the said documents, the appellant could not get his senior grade and selection grade. The PIO stated that information sought by the appellant is not available. The CIC observed that unless proved that record was destroyed as per the prescribed rules of destruction/ retention policy, it is deemed that record continues to be held by public authority. The CIC pointed out that by practice, 'missing file' cannot be read into as exception in addition to exceptions prescribed by RTI Act as it amounts to breach of Public Records Act, 1993 The CIC directed the PIO, Mr. the Principal and the Asst. Registrar to show-cause why maximum penalty should not be imposed upon them for not providing the information to the appellant and why disciplinary action should not be recommended against them. Further, the public authority was directed to explain why compensation should not be paid to the appellant for harassing him by not providing the requisite information for a long time.

Comments

In many government offices, the quality of record keeping needs a massive overhaul. As per Public Records Act, 1993 action can be initiated for any loss of public records and is punishable with imprisonment up to a term of five years or with fine or both.
