THREE DAY { 10 , 11 & 12 APRIL 2010 } RTI AWARENESS CAMP IN LUCKNOW UTTAR PRADESH

THREE DAY { 10 , 11 & 12 APRIL 2010 } RTI AWARENESS CAMP IN
LUCKNOW UTTAR PRADESH

Res all ,

As human being , we should respect the noble thoughts that come to us
from all directions . Generally , We always oppose everything that we
perceive as wrong but we should oppose everything that is really
wrong . We , the activists are for the society and not that the
society is for us .

One shepherd had many sheep , some good some bad . they fight but who
wins – the one which is properly fed … so has the government many acts
…………….n RTI act is one of them. If the government is not feeding the
rti sheep , it is the duty of we rti activists to feed it properly.

Rti act is sure to effect paradigm shift in society. Then the theories
of radical , incremental , instantaneous changes come to my mind. RTI
act can result in any change depending on its degree of
implementation. RTI act calls for a participatory system. Its our
collective responsibility to protect & nurture the RTI act .

Most of the time the Government think that the act is working in the
direction of weakening it though in reality the exposure of any
information can do no harm in any way to anybody. Infact RTI can be
used as a means to locate the key areas of working of the government
that needs more attention { the areas which attract most no. of rti
queries } . This way it is a tool in the hands of the government to
address the problems thus located by the rti and then gain popularity
among the masses and come to power again n again. This way rti can be
useful to the masses n the government both.

Section 4 is the soul of the rti act . if implemented in letter n
spirit , the government shall find that rti is like a mirror to them n
we all know what we do with a mirror. On the other hand if section 4 1
b is not implemented in letter n spirit the rti act will fail due to
the overload of rti applications on the already overloaded system .
The activists and the info-commissions should put pressure on
governments to implement this section . But compliance of this section
is not satisfactory despite much hyped projects of e-governance etc.
There should be special Task force for implementation of this section
of the act. In reality rti n e-governance are twins.

But since all this is not happening , RTI is standing at crossheads.
In democracy though the real power is vested with the people and they
can ask the questions like what , why …………. From the government . if
the government is on wrong footings , it shall be put to task by the
masters , the people. Now it is for the government if it wish to
interact with the masses by rift or by cooperation.

Now a days file-notings are much in news . if file notings are blocked
, the reasoning of decision making process is blocked i.e.
transparency is blocked and the act is strangled. If u r going to
block file notings why do u call it democracy , call it autocracy. In
an ideal atmosphere political leadership should tell the government
leadership to work for peoples' welfare but in reality the sycophant
govt. leadership is working for the welfare of the political
leadership n are thus killing the spirit of democracy. No elected
representative is serious about his roles and responsibilities. The
real problem is the gap between the attitude of the elected ,
expectations of the public and behavior of the bureaucrats. If
patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrels ? Perhaps we cannot
replace the word of patriotic person with that of a criminal.

SMART { simple , moral , accountable , responsive n transparent }
system is the need of the hour. Try thinking what is in it for them in
place of thinking what is in it for me , only then u can say I am a
human being. Use me n u rather than me versus u .

Removing corruption by good governance is possible if model citizens'
charters are prepared n implemented by the government. To evaluate it
social audit is of immense importance n should be done . One more
aspect needs to be addressed , there is no standardization in design
of citizens' charters n many lacks key constituents .

Do we need a third party audit of rti act 2005 ?

Do we know our collateral duties when we talk of our rights ?

To address all these n many more issues related to the Right to
Information Act 2005 we are organizing a THREE DAY { 10 , 11 & 12
APRIL 2010 , 10 AM – 5 PM } RTI DISCUSSION , WORKSHOP & AWARENESS
CAMP at my residence F – 2376 , Rajajipuram IN LUCKNOW UTTAR
PRADESH . This event is self financed by me n all participants shall
be given free literature on RTI . All are welcome to attend the camp
to ensure their contributions towards RTI.

Best Regards

India: Eight year old uses RTI for garbage removal

31 March 2010

Aishwarya, a student of class III in a north Indian school filed the
RTI, for the removal of a garbage disposal site in front of her
school. The letter was forwarded to the local Municipal Corporation
and the dumping has stopped.

Lucknow, India: To Aishwarya, eight years old, RTI is an Act that can
work wonders. Especially since it helped her to bring to the notice of
civic authorities, the presence of a garbage disposal site in front of
her school.

Class III student uses RTI to stop garbage disposal near her school/
Photo credit: Mangalore Headlines Not only this, the little one feels
the Act has done the expected rectifying the wrong for her. They
(those who were dumping garbage) have stopped throwing it there, she
shared more than happily. Aishwarya is a student of Class III of a
school in Rajajipuram in Lucknow.

The sight of a dumping ground right across the main gate of her school
was distressing for her each time she passed by.So much so that she
wrote to the chief minister's office requesting her to get the site
removed from the place.

There was a swine flu scare then and our school had asked us to wear
masks, she said. But seeing stray dogs and pigs loitering in the dump
scared me, she said. The girl raised the issue with her parents on a
lot of occasions. But even they could not provide any satisfactory
explanation for the existence of a garbage disposal site close to her
school.

It was then that she wrote to the CM. In my letter, I only requested
her to interfere, said Aishwarya. But her letter did not fetch any
response and we made her file the RTI, said her mother, Urvashi
Sharma.

Aishwarya wrote a three-point application to the public information
officer (PIO) of the chief minister's office seeking an answer to why
the garbage is being dumped in front of her school.

Her handwritten application had questioned the government on who would
own the responsibility if any one of us gets an infection from the
discarded waste.

It is here that the RTIs response giving machinery let down the girl.
Though authorities have shared the information on the site, she is
still to get the answers to her questions.

Six months after she sent the application to the CMs office, it has
been forwarded to the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) for doing
the needful.And, LMC has informed the girl that a modern garbage
disposal site was built at the place by Awas Vikas Parishad.
Authorities have already taken note of the fact that the site is now
close to a school and hence, dumping of garbage on the site has been
stopped.

However, it is the construction at the place which is blocking the
trucks of rubbish removal department to reach the spot and remove the
garbage, said the LMC. Thus, in effect, the problem persists with the
garbage still on the site and consequently, the threat to the health
of school kids is also very much there.

In fact, the parents of the girl still await action on these two
counts viz removal of garbage and answer to their daughters query.

However, the only credit, if any, that goes to RTI is keeping the
faith of a kid in its efficiency. As a beaming Aishwarya said, I am
happy that the right to information has helped me. After her first
brush with the Act, she is already defining it as something that can
make the wrong thing right.

Most jails overcrowded in state, says RTI plea

Most jails overcrowded in state, says RTI plea

Mohd Arshi Rafique
Tags : jails, RTI

Posted: Monday , Mar 22, 2010 at 0241 hrs
Lucknow:

Jails in various districts of the state are plagued with the problem
of overcrowding with a total prison population of 83,805 against the
authorised capacity of 44,439, an RTI plea has revealed.


Urvashi Sharma, an activist, filed the RTI plea following the National
Human Rights Commission's recent report observing that overcrowding in
jail was a result of "unnecessary and unjustified arrests" coupled
with slow judicial process.


Admitting that the overall overcrowding ratio is 1.89, the information
released by the department of Jail Administration and Reform Services
indicates that in majority of the jails the occupancy is almost double
the sanctioned strength.


According to the status as on December 31, 2009, the worst scenario is
at the Moradabad district jail where around 2,274 prisoners are housed
against the sanctioned strength of only 605. At the time when the
records were released, Moradabad jail housed around 2,080 undertrials
and 194 convicts.

Similar was the plight at Shahjahanpur district jail where 1,791
prisoners were kept against a capacity of 511.


Of the 53 district jails in the state, majority had double the
sanctioned inmates. But the only exception was Mau district jail where
only 485 criminals have been housed as against the capacity of 540.


Interestingly, the Etah district jail, which received the coveted ISO:
9001 (2000) certification last year, has around 1,339 inmates as
against the capacity of 607 prisoners.


In the central jails, which are supposed to admit lifers and prisoners
who are serving long sentences, the occupancy ratio was no better. In
the five central jails of the state as many as 13,298 criminals were
lodged against the capacity of 7,037. While Naini, Varanasi, Fatehgarh
and Agra Central jail records showed almost double the occupancy,
Bareily Central Jail had more than two criminals lodged against one.


The picture at special jails is far better than that of Central or
district jails. In Model Jail, only 371 prisoners were housed against
a capacity of 600 while in Nari Bandi Niketan, 143 women convicts were
lodged as against the sanctioned strength of 420. Overall, 2,759 women
were shown to be lodged in different jails.


At Kishore Sadan, Bareily, the only jail in Uttar Pradesh for children
with a capacity of 188, only six children were housed as on December
31, 2009.


In the other jails, however, 96 children were shown to be living with
women who were convicted. Also, as many as 182 foreigners were also
shown to be lodged in different jails of the state.


The reply under the RTI failed to answer another important question
raised in the plea concerning the details of convicts serving jail
terms despite completing their sentences decreed by court.


In a reply filed by K B Joshi, Research Officer, department of Jail
Administration and Reform Services, the department asked for more time
on the pretext of collecting the relevant data.


"I have filed the first appeal requesting to provide the data as early
as possible," said Urvashi Sharma.

a rising hope for RTI - Student of Class III uses RTI tool to get the garbage house removed from the vicinity of her school

Awakened Children , irresponsible Sleeping Babus of Government offices
……..its Uttar Pradesh , but the efforts must go on n on .............

Student of Class III uses RTI tool to get the garbage house removed
from the vicinity of her school


There are many negative news in the rti arena from across the country
that may dishearten rti-users but as an eternal truth , the life
begins from where it ended. At least the effort of 8 years' girl
student of city Montessori school of Lucknow proves this.

Aishwarya is a student of Rajajipuram branch of this school . There is
a garbage house by the opposite side of the main gate of the school .

Months back , when swine flu panic gripped the country , the
schoolchildren of her school were asked to wear masks in the school.
Aishwarya also used the mask but a question was always there in her
mind as to why the Garbage- house was there at a distance of few yards
from the school when there was so much panic in the country. The
frequent movements of stray dogs , pigs and other animals into and out
of the garbage house was posing serious health threats to the students
. Moved by this , on 26 – 10 – 2009 she wrote a letter to the Chief
Minister of Uttar Pradesh . In this letter she requested the C.M. to
get the garbage house removed from the vicinity of the school n shift
it elsewhere. the letter is available at given link

http://file1.hpage.com/000223/57/bilder/aish_letter_to_cm.jpg


Aishwarya waited each day in the hope that the garbage-house would be
removed but nothing happened. As an eternal course of action of most
of the Government offices of U. P. , the speed post letter of
Aishwarya got lost in the wilderness of the other world of the
babudom of the Chief Minister Office.On 30-11-2009 , she filed an RTI
and asked for three point information. this rti letter is available at
given link

http://file1.hpage.com/000223/57/bilder/aish_rti_gh_sec6.jpg

The Reply sent by PIO of the Chief Minister puts a question mark on
the system that is governing us today . The PIO refused receipt of the
letter dated 26-10-2009 and transferred the RTI letter dated
30-11-2009 to the Commissioner of Lucknow Municipal Corporation . this
letter is available at given link

http://file1.hpage.com/000223/57/bilder/aish_rti_gh_cmo_reply.jpg

Had the RTI Act 2005 not been there , Aishwarya might have never been
able to know the fate of her letter.

The RTI reply by the Zonal health officer is not related to the point
2 and 3 of rti query of Aishwarya and shows his irresponsible
behavior.the letter is available at given link

http://file1.hpage.com/000223/57/bilder/aish_rti_gh_reply1.jpg

Though not fully satisfied , Aishwarya is sure not only to get the
information but to find her lost letter also. She has filed appeal to
the appellate authority , filed the rti to the PIO of the Chief
Minister to tell her the name of the person responsible for this
mishap and has written to the chief minister Km. Mayawati to initiate
enquiry to fix the responsibility of her lost letter.

As RTI Act is there to provide for setting out the practical regime of
right to information for citizens to secure access to information
under the control of public authorities, in order to promote
transparency and accountability in the working of every public
authority , So is Aishwarya to play her role of securing access to
information under the control of some public authorities, in order to
promote transparency and accountability in the working of them , but
these public authorities are not ready to play their role.

May more n more aishwaryas come forward to raise local issues and
fight them till they succeed to have true democracy in INDIA.

As democracy requires an informed citizenry so I think it would be
more appropriate to make RTI act a compulsory part of course
curriculum at primary level because this is the best solution to have
more n more Aishwaryas in the system and more n more corrupts out of
the system.

When a 8 year old Student of Class III can pursue for it , why can't you ?

To strengthen R.T.I. and for its effective implementation in U. P. ,
we need pure and selfless participation from all three major players

act

To meet this objective in harmonious way and to work as an interface ,

UP governor directs action against information commissioner

http://www.governancenow.com/gov-next/rti/governor-directs-action-against-information-commissioner

UP governor directs action against information commissionerActivists
have been demanding suspension of Ranjit Singh Pankaj

Danish Raza | March 17

Uttar Pradesh governor has asked the administrative reforms department
(ADR) to take action against the state's chief information
commissioner Ranjit Singh Pankaj.
The governor's instruction, in a letter dated March 9, came after
activists approached the governor asking for the removal of the
information commissioner.
In November last year, the Allahabad High Court slapped a fine of Rs
50,000 on Pankaj for extending favours to lessee involved in illegal
mining during his tenure as mining secretary in the state.
He had joined the state information commission in June.
After the court order, activists in Uttar Pradesh started making
demands for his removal.
They submitted a memorandum to Governor B.L. Joshi demanding the
suspension of Pankaj from the commission under section 17 (3) (b) of
the Right to Information Act 2005.
Under the section, the governor can suspend the information
commissioner if he has been convicted of an offence, which, in the
opinion of the governor, involves moral turpitude.

honest feedback, suggestions & help required in your best capacity

R.T.I. Act is a strong tool in the hands of a common man . Through
effective use of this tool , true democratic values as enshrined in
our constitution can be ushered in all acts of the governments .
Since its inception , R.T.I. act has experienced mixed treatments at
the hands of the info-seekers , the info-imparters and the watchdogs
of the act. There have been all types of statements and counter
statements from all the three players of the RTI arena.

To strengthen R.T.I. and for its effective implementation , we need
pure and selfless participation from all the three players i.e. the
info-seekers , the info-imparters and the watchdogs of the act .

My short experience says that to meet this objective the RTI activists have to
- work as an interface between n among the info-seekers the
info-imparters and the Info-Commissioners ,
- ensure exhaustive interaction with the info-seekers , the
info-imparters and the Info-Commissioners to get feedback from them ,
- cross transfer these feedbacks ,
- draw conclusions and
- send recommendations to the appropriate authorities for
implementation to ensure effectiveness of the act in letter n spirit.

We wish to meet this objective in Uttar Pradesh , a state which is
generally believed to be and to a larger extent it really is
"infertile for the RTI crop" . When we talk of RTI in Uttar Pradesh we
have the only SCIC suspended in the country , we have the
unbelievable state of no representation of U. P. in PCRF survey , we
have the name of Mr. Ram Kumar as SCIC which was rejected by then HE
governor , we have acting SCIC with more black track record than Mr.
Ram Kumar , we have many rti users being victimized at all the stages
and many more things which we all know . This is really really a very
sorry state of affairs and it hurts a lot to any responsible citizen
who thinks of RTI in Uttar Pradesh .

To make U.P. Land fertile for the RTI crop and to make it bloom with
the fruits of info-plants i.e. " THE INFORMATION TO THE INFO SEEKER IN
TRUE PERSPECTIVE " , we wish to organize a camp at UPSIC premises
itself . This is the place where we can have optimum feedback and
interactions with all the players of RTI as discussed above. A letter
to this effect has already been sent to the concerned authorities.

As always , before going any further , I wish to have feedback from
all my respected seniors and fellow friends so as to make the camp
more effective.

Your suggestions shall go a long way off to strengthen RTI in Uttar Pradesh.

Best regards

RTI activists pin hopes on Guv’s directives for action against CIC - TIMES NEWS NETWORK

RTI activists pin hopes on Guv's directives for action against CIC
TIMES NEWS NETWORK


Lucknow: There might be some action coming against the Uttar Pradesh
chief i n fo r m at i o n commissioner (CIC) Ranjit Singh Pankaj. At
least that is the hope running high among the RTI activists who had
been fighting tooth and nail to get the CIC removed.
The activists are spirited up over a letter sent to them from the
governor's office informing that the administrative reforms department
(ARD) has been directed to take immediate and necessary action against
the CIC. The ARD is the nodal department for the implementation of the
Right to Information (RTI) Act in the state.
The letter dated March 9 and under signed by special secretary to
the governor, M Devraj, is something that activists are now holding
their hopes on to. "If there comes an action nothing like that", said
activist Urvashi Sharma.
The activists went up in arms against Pankaj after the Allahabad
High Court slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on him for "misleading the
court and extending favours to a lessee involved in illegal mining"
during his previous tenure as the mining secretary in the state
government. The order of the court was delivered on November 13.
After this the activist organisations sent a memorandum to the UP
Governor BL Joshi demanding the suspension of Pankaj from the post of
UPCIC. It was in June last year that he was appointed as the same.
The organisations and individuals had demanded action against him
under section section 17 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act and his
suspension "with immediate effect". The memorandum submitted by
various activists to the governor invariably mentioned that it is not
acceptable that CIC is conducting hearings into the State Information
Commission (SIC) even after being fined by the court.

Apart from many other aspects , the Report shows the poor plight of
jailed humans in the jails of Uttar Pradesh. The mean overcrowding
index of 53 districts is 1.89.A look at the overcrowding index makes
it clear that U.P. jails have high overcrowding index to the tune of
3.76 as in Moradabad Jail. This means that on an average 3.76 humans
are being kept in U. P. Jails having facility of only 1 human. The
position of these jails is grossly violative of human-rights and is
highly undesirable . The problem needs to be addressed at your level
on top priority basis.
Please intervene and take necessary actions to ensure that the problem
be solved to give a humane atmosphere to jailed humans in Uttar
Pradesh.

uttar pradesh governor house moves file to take action against Mr. R. S. Pankaj the SCIC

res. all

please find attached the reply as received from u. p. governor's
secretariate in reply to my mail forwarded herewith.

its surprising that when i am asking for time to meet h.e. governor ,
i am being told that the matter has been referred to the
administrative reforms department .

the file that is moving at snail's speed is being told to be moving
quickly. perhaps this is the folly of the system that the top-notch
ias officials don't shy at all when they become blindfolded to shield
the corrupts like r. s. pankaj.

the link to the file are given below as well

Please refer my e-mails dated 18-11-09 & 23-11-09 , my meeting dated
27-11-09 with your Principal Secretary Mr. J. B. Patnayak , with
whom I submitted a memorandum addressed to you for removal of Uttar
Pradesh state chief information commissioner Mr. Ranjit Singh Pankaj
under section 17 ( 3 ) ( b ) of RTI act 2005. Mr. Patnayak received
the said memorandum on your behalf , discussed the matter at length
and assured action within 15 days.

Also refer to my RTI query dated 20-11-09 , sent to the PIO of your
secretariat . The PIO Mr. R. K. Saxena transferred the RTI query u/s
6(3) of RTI act to the Principal Secretary of administrative reforms
department ( the nodal department of U. P. Government for RTI matters
) . Administrative reforms department informed me vide letter no.
suu.aaa.raa.paa.253/43-2-2009 dated 16-12-09 that the matter of Mr.
Pankaj had not been referred to them by 16-12-09.

Its very painful that despite assurance from the highest official of
your secretariat , no action has been taken by your esteemed office in
which millions of people of Uttar Pradesh bestow their faith and look
forward to get justice .

Most of the information commissioners are working arbitrarily , thus
killing the spirit of the RTI act. The State Information Commission
has turned into a shelter-home for the corrupts . The SIC has grossly
failed to comply to the provisions of the RTI act. This way the SIC is
breeding corruption though it was conceptualized to eradicate it as
given in preamble of the RTI act 2005.

Under these circumstances I am compelled to write to you and wish to
avail a personal appointment with Yourself to handover a memorandum
for removal of state chief information commissioner under section 17 (
3 ) ( b ) of RTI act 2005 and discuss many other matters related to
poor plight of RTI act 2005 in Uttar Pradesh at length with your good
self so that the info-seekers of Uttar Pradesh should get justice .

please fix a date and time as per your own convenience and inform me
accordingly in the larger interest of the people of uttar pradesh.

Waiting for an early and positive response.

best regards

Mohan Road , Lucknow , Uttar Pradesh - 226017

Sub.: APPEAL UNDER SECTION 19(1) OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT 2005

Sir ,
Please be informed that -
I made a request dated 29 September 2009 as per section 6 of RIGHT TO
INFORMATION ACT 2005 , to the PIO of the Prime Minister's office ,
{ Annexure -1 , copy enclosed } The abovementioned request was
accompanied with IPO no. 57E 761459 of ten rupees and was sent vide
SPEED POST no. SP EU708579222 IN dated 29-09-09 ,

• Vide letter no. RTI/2003/2009-PMR dated 15-10-09{ Annexure -2 ,
copy enclosed } ,The CPIO of PMO transferred my request letter dated
29 September 2009 to the Secretary to GOI , Deptt. of Revenue ,
north block new delhi under section 6(3) of RTI act 2005 ,

• The PIO of your office has sent letter no. F. No.
500/434/RTI/2009-FTD-I dated 10 November 2009 { Annexure -3 , copy
enclosed }to me . A bare perusal of this letter would reveal that The
PIO has -
1- Misinterpret section 8 ( 1 ) ( a ) of RTI act 2005 on point no. 1
of my letter of section 6

The PIO has written that communication between the swiss bank and the
GOI is the information, disclosure of which would prejudicially
affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security,
strategic, scientific or economic interests of the State, relation
with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offence

I strongly raise my objections agianst the pio's order . Infact the
disclosure of this information would reveal black faces of the corrupt
of india by unearthing the black money that shall demoralise such
practices in future and in the long run it shall go a long way off to
strengthen true democratic values.

so please punish the PIO and furnish me information required by me
i.e. the certified copies of all communication between the swiss bank
and the GOI in larger public interest .

2- Grossly violated section 6 (3) of RTI act 2005. On point no. 2 and
3 of my letter of section 6

The PIO has written that the information required by me does not
exists with your office. In this case he was duty bound to transfer
my letter of section 6 to the concerned PIO/PIOs as per section 6(3)
of the RTI Act 2005 ,

By not transferring these two points of my letter of section 6 , the
PIO has grossly violated the RTI act 2005 , so punish the PIO and
transfer my application as per section 6(3) of the rti act to the
concerned PIO

Hence this appeal under section 19(1) is being sent to the you to -
1. Receive the appeal and inquire into the matter ,
2. Ensure that I should get the required documents as per section 7(9)
of the RTI act and that too free of charge as per section 7(6) of RTI
act 2005 ,
3. Punish the Respondent PIO (for non-compliance of the act )as per
provisions of the act.

Thanks,

RTI activists demand removal of tainted SCIC

RTI activists demand removal of tainted SCIC
TNN 30 November 2009, 03:51am IST

LUCKNOW: The RTI activists have approached Governor B L Joshi
individually and in small groups requesting him to take action against
the state chief


information commissioner (SCIC) Ranjit Singh Pankaj. A group of
activists handed over a memorandum to the governor office on Friday.

The opposition against Pankaj started after All India Right to
Information Awareness forum submitted a memorandum to governor a
fortnight back. The RTI activists and activist organisations wrote to
the governor to stop Pankaj from attending the office of the state
chief information commissioner in compliance to the section 17 of the
Right to Information Act, 2005.

"We are alarmed and distressed to learn that the present Uttar Pradesh
chief information commissioner, Sri Ranjit Singh Pankaj has been
penalised by the Allahabad high court," read the memorandum. The court
had slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on him for "favouring a lessee
involved in illegal mining" during his previous stint as mining
secretary.

The memorandum further stated that "even earlier to his appointment as
SCIC, the charges of corruption were levelled against him while he was
the district magistrate of Gorakhpur in 2008. The charges were
corroborated by the divisional commissioner, P K Mohanty, who
conducted an inquiry into the selection process of 3,448 safai
karamcharis. The probe report, acting on which the government
cancelled all the appointments, held Pankaj responsible for violating
norms and handpicking men of his choice, who later committed
irregularities, including accepting bribes."

"We are compelled to come together, endorse the concerns as stated
above, recommend and demand immediate removal of SCIC from office,"
said the memorandum. "We have been assured of necessary action in the
matter within 15 days' time by the governor's office," said activist,
Urvashi Sharma. The RTI activists, including Neeraj Kumar, Dev Dutt
Sharma and Akhilesh Saxena, signed the memorandum.

Activists cry foul as UP Information Commission drafts regulations
Alka Pande
Tags : lucknow, government

Posted: Thursday , Sep 25, 2008 at 0208 hrs
Lucknow, September 24:

The UP State Information Commission has formulated some regulations
for the implementation of the Right to Information Act, which,
activists allege, are contrary to the spirit of the law enacted to
facilitate availability of information.

"The regulations of the state commission are the copy of the Central
Information Commission (CIC) rules and regulations, which reject 60
per cent cases on technical grounds," said Arvind Kejriwal, who was
actively involved in the formation of the RTI Act.

The commission has not sought public opinion while formulating the
regulations. But since the matter was posted on the commission
website, it has attracted suggestions from various quarters.

Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah clarified that the
states have the authority to form regulations for the implementation
of the Act in its true spirit. But it is better to seek public opinion
while drafting the regulations, he added.

The activists from across the nation have now come together to oppose
the regulations and have demanded several amendments.

Social worker and RTI activist Urvashi Sharma from RTI Mahila Manch
has raised the issue by writing an open letter to the officiating
state Chief Information Commissioner, Gyanendra Sharma. Copies of the
letter have been sent to the President, besides the Governor and the
Chief Minster of Uttar Pradesh.

Urvashi says the rules are meant to make the process so complex that
it acts as a deterrent, and forces the applicant to seek legal help.

"The law was passed after a people's movement. It was drafted by civil
societies. Its rules should also be made through public discussions,"
she said.

Gyanendra Sharma said the regulations were basically for the
functioning of the commission, but still he got them posted at the
commission website.

"We are going through all suggestions and will incorporate whatever is
feasible before implementing them," said Sharma. He however, denied
that the regulations had been sent to the government for its approval.

"The question of sending the regulations to government does not arise
as they are an internal matter."

Some of the points in the SIC regulations and the counterpoints of the
activists:

* Rule 6 mentions a flexible two to four-week summer break and a
two-week winter break. Activists say: This lacks clarity. Besides,
this is unjustified when over 10,000 cases are pending with the SIC.

* Rule 8(1) (a) makes it mandatory for the appellant/complainant to
furnish his personal details, apart from name and address.
Activists say: Personal details are not specified.

* Rule 11(5) (b) says that the registrar can cancel cases that are not
maintainable due to "some" reasons.
Activists say: The word "some" is ambiguous.

* Rule 12 dealing with filing of counter by the public information
officer gives a bunch of relaxations to the PIO as it says, "after
getting the complaint/appeal, the PIO shall submit his counter (if
there is any) along with related documents.
Activists say: Why the words "if there is any" when according to Rule
10, the complainant/appellant has to send a copy of complaint/appeal
to the PIO and compulsorily furnish attested copies to the SIC while
filing the complaint/appeal

* Rule 12 says during hearing in commission, "generally" the PIO shall
present his view.
Activists say: Why is this not mandatory?

* Rule 15(5) says the commission shall pass order on the merits of the case.
Activists say: The term "speaking order" has not been used, which is
mandatory as per Section 4(1)d of the Act.
==========================================================================================================================
at that time acting scic sri gyanendra sharma assured us that any
decision in this effect shall be taken only after taking us in full
confidance. we had submitted our objections on these regulations to
the scic. but now the website of upsic shows it as final though the
sic says these r draft regulations.

now since the issue has surfaced once again , i request all fello
rti-activists of uttar pradesh to raise the issue without any further
delay lest rti act is deprived of its soul in uttar pradesh.
