You are right Ajay, there is certainly a rot lying in the KRCL HQ at Belapur. Earlier Bhaskar Prabhu along with applicant Sudha Pandit were treated very badly during the inspection of requested documents. Education Qualifications & Degree Certificates cannot qualify to come under the Section11 blanket as Third Party. The part on the Public Authority, in non disclosure of this information, gives rise to doubt, they have something to hide and maybe, they are even involved in appointing unqualified candidates in exchange of monetary gratifications. Since they had inititally agreed to allow inspection in January and later defaulted in March, only makes it more interesting. You have several option. Of course, you will need to approach the CIC U/s 18. IC Annapurna Dikshit is the IC for Railways now. Her disposal rate is fast. The waiting would not be more than a few months. Further, nothing can stop you in filing a fresh application, asking for the same documents. Meaning, you file a Complain with CIC and at the same time file another RTI Application, seeking the same documents. An additional request can be made for inspection Under Section 4(1)(a).... repeat its not 4(1)(b) for manuals but 4(1)(a) - Categorization of Documents. Lage Raho Manoj Pai

Initially( Jan 16) they agreed asking me to give one week’s notice for inspection. But when I gave them notice & wanted to inspect on 24 th March ( today) suddenly the CPIO sent me a letter saying this is a matter regarding 3 rd party & they must check with the third party before allowing me inspection. They have asked me to identify employees so that they can check with them. -- Thanks & Rgds Ajay Marathe Vashi, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
