APIO denies info by turning down Appellate Authority's order in Ulta Pradesh err…. Uttar Pradesh

Lucknow based Social worker & RTI Activist Urvashi Sharma  sent request under RTI act 2005 to the PIO of the said institute to get certified copies of certain records . Urvashi got no reply within 30 days and was forced to send first appeal which was decided on 21-02-12 by the appellate authority who directed the PIO for discharge of the information i.e. certified copies as required by Urvashi.

 

"When I got reply to my RTI query , I was shocked to see that the APIO denied the same info for which the appellate authority has already directed the PIO for discharge of the information .The reply was sent by the APIO and the principal of the said institute Rajesh Chandra vide  letter  no. C-1151/sa.ka./poly/2011-12 dated  02-03-2012 .This shows  the pathetic state of RTI implementation in Uttar Pradesh . Public Servants like Rajesh Chandra are a black spot on the face of our civilization which wants to fight corruption with crusaders like Anna Hazare .  Rajesh Chandra deliberately violated subsection  2 of section 6 of RTI act 2005 by raising objectionable  queries to me thereby completely ignoring Subsection  2 of section 6 of RTI act 2005 which clearly states "An applicant making request for information shall not be required to give any reason for requesting the information or any other personal details except those that may be necessary for contacting him."
This act of  Rajesh Chandra is highly unwarranted and shows that either he is unable to understand the RTI Act or is deliberately
violating the  RTI act 2005 . Rajesh Chandra went to the extent of disobeying the   orders of the Appellate Authority who has directed the PIO for discharge of the info as required by me. This act of Rajesh Chandra is highly unwarranted and shows that he works arbitrarily in an autocratic manner and is not concerned to obey the orders of the superiors at all , that too in a matter related to the implementation of RTI act . I am sure that the APIO Rajesh Chandra denied the certified copies of records to me with the malafide intent to keep his irregularities / corruption under wrap." told Urvashi.

 

With today's swearing-in ceremony of the new and the youngest chief minister of the state , Uttar Pradesh is rising high on the hopes that things shall get into shape, but how far these hopes shall turn into reality ,  Only time will tell .
