From: LESLIE ALMEIDA <[email protected]> Subject: [rti_india] complains u/s 18 To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, January 3, 2010, 7:11 PM my complains u/s 18 have not been attended to over two years, in which case why put up complains as Per DOPT there is no time frame to addtress complains, which is bad in law, so the IC make use of a loophole in the law, the IC do not peanilise PIO as per mandatory requirement as per the RTI act, we should all come on a common platform and take this matter to court. as remedy advised by DOPT could some lawyer help out in fighting this out in a court of law so that RTI retains its glory, we could chip in the expenses form a "RTI users grievence forum " open a bank account by that name and put our contribution there, any one without vested interest kindly start same i will be first to make my contribution . also if Bence of Supreme court superseeds Public Interest. ( disclosure of assets ) as per post on RTI india complains u/s 18 a) That "complaints" form the heart of the CIC/SIC 'Soo-moto" powers - see 18(2). b) That inquiry into "complaints" take precedence over disposal of appeals per the scheme of the RTI Act. c) That there is no provision in the RTI Act to restrict in any way the form, nature or content of a complaint to the Commission (unlike appeals). d) That We did not recognise the CIC's illegal Management Regulations which were drafted and approved by idiots (ie, legally deficient morons). e) That whereas the duly notified rules for APPEALS to the CIC provided for "verification" (which requires a signature), there is no such requirements for complaints - which can be unsigned (and hence do not require a digital / electronic signature to be sent over email). f) That We demanded parity with Ms Aruna Roy, Commodre Lokesh Batra, Mr Shekhar Singh etc who regularly use emails to get their work done at CIC through Mr Habibullah lets take this new year into a new era 2010 and have a smile on our faces as 2010 goes by Leslie Almeida
