Relevant Facts emerging during Hearing:
The following were present
Appellant: Ms. Nidhi;
Respondent: Mr. R. K. Saxena, APIO & Assistant Registrar (SW);
The appellant had sought permission from RCS to initiate proceedings against Rao CGHS under
Section 129 of DCS Act on 04/12/2009. Since she received no response she filed the RTI application to
understand what was happening to her application for permission. The PIO replied that her notice has
been sent to the society to get the response from the society. It is amazing that even after seven months of
that the PIO states that RCS has not made up his mind on the mater at all. From the statement of the PIO
it appears that the RCS dose not apply its mind when a member seeks its permission to file a case against
the society. RCS merely seems to act as a postman and then does not bother to act any initiative in the
matter. The PIO had given the information initially and is now directed to provide the information in the
following format to the appellant:
Date on which Name and designation of Action taken Date on which forwarded to
Application received the officer receiving it. Next officer/office.*there will be as many rows as the number of officers who handled the application.
Attested photocopies of all letters and notings will be provided.
