We often hear of the
CIC/SICs impossing penalty. Has anyone is aware that the penalty impossed is executed. ? In Kerala the
SIC has given me list of 17 cases where he claimed to have impossed fine of nearly Rs.1,85,000/- I statarted probing them using
RTI Act.To start with I had probed all the two cases of 2006 involving fines of Rs,25,000/- and another Rs,14750/- I was surprised to see that the
SIC himself had suspended the recovery much before he has intimated me in writting its imposition. In the second case it is stayed by High Court. The interesting part is that the stay appears to have obtainede on government expense. The SPIO and his AA refuse to furnish me the information as to who paid the legal expense in obtaining the stay. Kerala's plight is that a complaint on non furnishing of this information is pending with
SIC, Kerla since last 4 months without at least an acknowledgement when the
SIC with 4 commissioners and all infrastructures could dispose of hardly below 10 dases per month in last two months.
