1) I am somewhat perplexed - WHY is this an "important" case to pursue via RTI ? 2) If you provide me a sample set of queries RTI activists ought to be asking (and your expert opinion as to which P/As these should be addressed to). I will tell you the exemptions which the P/As will typically use to deny the information - but we (as "responsible RTIers" <snicker>) already know these in advance don't we ??. Sarbajit PS to Members: The monthly dipsosal rate at CIC has didged again with receipts outstripping disposals. Is this a conspiracy to get those 2 shiny new ICs installed ?? --- In [email protected], "Nutan Thakur" <drnutantha...@...> wrote: > > > Friends, > > With the arrest of the IG of CRPF Pushkar Singh along with the Commandant > Yajbinder Singh we come across another recruitment scam in our country.
