Prof. M. M. Ansari, Information Commissioner C. Smt. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner D. Shri Satyananda Mishra, Information Commissioner E. Shri M.L. Sharma, Information Commissioner F. Shri Shailesh Gandhi, Information Commissioner G. Secretary Shri Mohammad Haleem Khan and other officers assisted the Commission. Agenda 1:- Reference made by IC (SM). Commission observed that an appellant/complainant is within his right to request for change of a bench for hearing in the commission. Commission does not encourage such endeavors. An appellant/complainant however has no right to choose the Information Commissioner(s), for hearing his/her case. That authority rests with the Chief Information Commissioner Agenda 2:- Staffing norms for the CIC/IC and creation of additional Posts in the CIC: order of DoPT for discussion. Commission observed that staffing norms for Chief Information Commissioner and for each of the Information Commissioners issued by DoPT on 30.12.2008 are not workable as the same are short even of the present strength.
