Just butting in after reading 2 exchanges about hearing on Penalty on PIO's of DoPT.
Some mention in one of the points about the present IC S Mishra (ex DoPT Secretary). Just want to add some fuel to the fire: Here is IC S Mishra remanding the Second Appeal back to the AA in a matter where "file notings" were denied and ordering: "While considering the first appeal, the First Appellate Authority must keep in mind the various pronouncements of this Commission on what constitutes an information as expressly defined in the Right to Information Act and not go by the instructions or advisory, if any, of the DOPT as it appears from the order of the CPIO." http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/SM-15102008-11.pdf Must be the quickest "change of colour" in history.
