To: Mr Wajahat Habibullah Chief Information Commissioner Central Information Commission New Delhi
Dear Sir, RE: CIC Contravenes its own Rules ! Your attention is drawn to the following order of the CIC: http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/AT-13032009-07.pdf Quote The matter was listed for hearing before Division Bench in view of decision taken by this Commission in its Weekly Meeting that all appeals and complaints filed against various High Courts should be heard by a Bench consisting of two Information Commissioners. Unquote However, it is surprising to note that in the following two matters, related to Delhi High Court, the hearing has been conducted only by yourself alone: http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/WB-03122009-02.pdf http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/WB-17122009-06.pdf If there has been a change in the earlier policy by the CIC, it should at least be suo-motu disclosed under Sec 4(1)(b)(iii) and Sec 4(1)(c) of the RTI Act. In view of the larger public interest involved and to bring in transparency in the working of CIC, can you please clarify the correct position of CIC in this matter ? Thanking You, RTIwanted
