What Is The Way Out ?

With the hesitation of the SICs to implement penal provisions of the Act, the PIOs and AAs have gained courage to ignore the orders of theSIC. Afterhering the second appeal and the orders issued by theCommission is not given any weightage. When their orders are not obeyed the SIC does not consider it as an insult to the system. This cituation has resulted in the PIOs repeating their initial misleading and false information window-dressing it in a more confusing wording even after the Commission order to provide the information.

Though SIC has declared such an action as criminal acts and has even taken action, the SIC, Kerala ignore it and does not bother even to acknowledge a complaint from the Appellant. Of cource one cannot get any relief from the Public Authorities. Can anyone suggest a method to overcome such a cituation. Complaints to the Governor or even the President of India does not make any difference.

Re: What Is The Way Out ?

We are on the same boat brother! On receiving a part "reply " 135 days after submission of application, the Hon'ble secretary directed the concerned SPIO of W.Bengal to be careful in providing information as per scheduled time of 30 days, copy of which was endorsed to the concerned applicant. On receiving it a list of 18 applications were mentioned, where no "response " was received within the scheduled time to the Secretary, SIC in last May. But no improvement of the situation was noticed till date.Can anyone suggest a method to overcome ?
We shall overcome someday ?

I think that West Bengal and Kerala are on the same boat on obvious reason. The government often declares like planning to appoint 6 more Information Commissioners etc. But nothing had materilised.
