I
am writing this column for those who are desirous of collecting
information under RTI and what should be the correct format to have
information. As all of us know that, citizen has a right to seek such
information from a public authority which is held by the public
authority or which is held under its control. It is not open to a
requester to ask, in the guise of seeking information, questions to the
public authorities about the nature and quality of their actions. The
RTI Act does not cast on the public authority any obligation to answer
queries, to elicit answers to his questions with prefixes, such as, why,
what, when and whether. As an applicant, we can only seek information
as defined in Section 2 (f) either by pinpointing the file, document,
paper or record, etc., or by mentioning the type of information as may
be available with the specified public authority. We can, for example,
ask for all records /Copy of decision taken/Copy of note sheets to
implement certain orders. We can ask for copy of orders pertaining to
implementation period as per law under the rule but not “What would be
the further maximum reasonable time required to implement orders?” The
definition of information cannot include within its fold answers to the
question "which" that would be same thing as asking the reason for a
justification for a particular thing. The public information authorities
cannot expect to communicate to the citizen the reason why a certain
thing was done or not done in the sense of a justification because the
citizen makes a requisition about information. Justifications are matter
within the domain of adjudicating authorities and cannot properly be
classified as information." So I request all my friends that we should
call for information under the ambit of RTI rules so that there would
not have been any denial to the sought information by the Public
Authority.

Tenure Posting of officials in single handed & double handed post offices – Preventive Vigilance Measure.
D.G. Posts No. 8-4/2005-Inv dated 12th January, 2012.
Instructions were issued vide this letter of even No. dated 22.9.2005
to the effect that officials who have been posted as SPM /PA in single
handed or double handed Post Offices irrespective of period of
posting/completion of tenure should not be posted back to the same
office after a break as is being done now. In other words officials of
single handed and double handed post offices can have only one posting
in such offices during their service period. The letter however vested
powers personally with the CPMG/PMG for relaxation of the provisions
only in respect of double handed post offices in a specific case if
warranted by exceptional administrative exigencies.
2.
For quite some time past, this office has been receiving
reports/representations expressing difficulties faced in the
implementation of these instructions in respect of single handed SOs. As
such it has been decided that the powers of the CPMsG/PMsG for
relaxation in respect of double handed SOs if warranted by exceptional
administrative exigencies would be applicable in respect of single
handed SOs also.
3. This issues with approval of Secretary (Posts).

Consequent upon the upgradation of pay recommended
by sixth CPC as 6500-10500 to 7450-11500 with Grade Pay of Rs.4600,
many dept. has done fixation as on 01.01.2006 with basic pay as Rs.7450
for these cadres. But as that is not mentioned in the DOPT order memo
dated 13.01.2009 [only enhancement of Grade Pay from Rs.4200 to Rs.4600
is mentioned in the said order], Zonal A/Cs offices are insisting for
recoveries where the minimum has been fixed as Rs.13860 [7450 X 1.86] +
Grade Pay of Rs.4600.
Recently I.T. Dept has issued an order to ZAO not to recover the
amount as it is under "Active Consideration" of DOPT and most likely
it will be granted.View the I.T Dept. Order Dtd. 28.12.2011
