Sir,
Please refer to your application dated 16-11-2011, received by this office
on 24-11-2011, from the Director of Accounts, Panaji vide letter No.
DA./Admn/19-40(275)/11-12/1524 dated 21-11-2011.
In this connection, it is informed that whether the Governor is or is not a
Public Authority under the Right to Information Act, 2005, and other related
matters are presently pending consideration of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of
India. Hon'ble Supreme Court has been pleased to stay the effect and
operation of the judgment and order dated 14-11-2011 of the Hon'ble Bombay
High Court, Bench at Goa, in the subject matter.
The matter is sub-judice, and therefore, no further action at this stage is
possible.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-
(Dr. N. Radhakrishnan)
Spl. Secretary to Governor.
COMMENT:
This is for the information of all citizens of Goa. The undersigned has
persisted that the Raj Bhavan give all detailed accounts of the running of
the Raj Bhavan from 2001 to 2008 in the earlier application made under the
RTI Act 2005 in 2009. The same application has been renewed after the order
of the HC of Bombay at Goa dated 14.11.2011 that the Governor is the public
authority, with the additional request, that I should be supplied with the
list ( with or without photographs) of all the antique furniture that the
Invading Indian Army has received from the out-going Portuguese Governor in
December, 1961, as well as the list of furniture that exists today. This is
to make a comparison as to what is existing and substituted and what has
been looted by the successive Indian Governors of Goa. We have information
that truck-loads of material have vanished from the Raj Bhavan immediately
after the invasion and annexation of Goa into India, illegally, without the
mandatory UN required 'referendum' to be given to the so called liberated
people of Goa to declare that they want to join the Indian Union or remain
separate.
