RTI ACT :MANDATORY DISCLOSURES BY EAC

good observation more  

These are rules written for implementation, when asked to do so. Ordinarily many offices are not aware of such rules. It is in the file. more  

It one thing to legislate and quite another to apply / implement. Ours being the largest democracy with numerous provisions and many political parties appearing in the scene with their selfish/hidden agenda usurp the public benefit under the alibi of public service. After independence the concept of public service has been hardly relevant. as rightly anticipated and then that the members of organisation/party under the banner of which the freedom movement was organised shall claim their stake after independence and hence it was suggested to disband the same. But that did not happen. The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1948 was passed apparently to check few persons prone to corruption in the process of running the affirs of the country. But as anticipated, the epidemic of corruption has reached such a gigantic proportion that the Act as amended seems to be a symbolic one for small and innocent people as big ones easily manipulate the same and have their way. Throw a stone and you will find corruption where it lands. Even the portions engaged in checking corruption are found corrupt. I feel it the provision of endless defence in law is grossly responsible for the same. There is no fear of law. As rightly observed by Poet Tulsidas " Bhaya beena bhakti na hoi" "No respect without fear." more  

There isa need to make provision for diciplinary action against the officer responsible for uploading all the detailsoin the web site.The localbodies are not showing the orders of contract for civil works.There should not be any departmental enquiry in such cases and theservices must be terminated in case of any such incidence is observed. more  

I happen to be a live case on this subject in the case of Recently Concluded Recruitment at CRWC Ltd. -A PSU under Deptt of Food & Public Distribution. Due to non-compliance to SUO-MOTU DISCLOSURE by the Subject CPSU, I have raised my voice against the illegal recruitment made at the Post of DGM (LOM), with the Competent Authority which in fact happened to be a 100% Departmental promotional post, however the process of Direct Rectt. has got adopted. Still I applied for the same but not got shortlisted either, despite having a rank of 05th among all applicants and 07 candidates got shortlisted for interview for the single vacant post. The list of non shortlisted candidates specifying the reasons has not even uploaded and finally the 08th rank holder ineligible applicant who was shortlisted by keeping me out of the race has got finally appointed. I represented about this to the MD and recruitment head in this regard on 04 occasions, but each time the management has replied by not touching the cardinal points of this act and subsequent to the joining of this new DGM, the arbitrary and vindictive actions of Competent Authority has started taking place against me. 1.Got a thratening orally by the Rectt. HEAD that I will have to pay heavily for this act. When raised this issue with MD in writing, no action has been taken against the culprit. 2. Illegally Transferred to a field location, although the prescribed post is meant to be for a comparatively lower level. 3. The subject transfer was also not a preferred approach on health grounds, as just 06 months before I had a major heart attack. Still I represented subsequent to join the new place of posting, but the same happened to be of no use. 4. Received a Memorandum of Charges on an already dead issue, although the act got performed as per the directions of MD. When replied with this fact, the memo got closed by converting the same as warning. 5. Issued a Show Cause Notice for termination from services, despite my probation has got successfully completed. By alleging twisted and manipulated facts. 6. Subsequent to responding to the SCN, I have been issued Suspension Order on contemplated proceedings. 7. Didn't issued the Charge Sheet for next 01 month. When approached the Court, then I was issues charges heel after 45 days of Suspension. 8. Came to understand that the approval of Chargsheet, Suspension and initiation of major disciplinary proceedings has been obtained from the Board by misleading and providing false and incomplete information to the BOD 9. And now the disciplinary proceedings for major penalty imposition is underway... where again the IO & PO are appointed by these authorities itself and the permission of keeping DA also needs the approval of these authorities itself who happens to be the problem creator and also the problem resolver. Further, the IO are intentionally appointed a retired officer, who actually has got nothing to loose irrespective of the justified or un- justified outcome. Is there any provision to punish such authorities who are only empowered but without any accountability on their wrong doings. The entire episode of this arbitrary action is getting carried out since September 2015 onwards..... 08 months. In between I have virtually knocked all the doors, but every ear us falling deaf. Under the circumstances, I fail to understand whether raising a voice against these issues and the suo motu disclosure under RTI Act 2005 has got any meaningful result in front of such high handedness of authorities appointed by Govt. Of India who are meant to be a person of prudence. I also want to test the effectiveness of this social media nvolved in eradicating such arbitrary acts, by lodging this ongoing episode with me. In all likelihood I am sure there would be several such acts being faced by numerous Govt. Sector or PSU employees and ask an opinion that Should We raise our voices or not? Or we should continue to overlook such issues? Thanks & Regards Rajesh Jha more
