Friends,
Letter addressed to Central Vigilance Commission placed below is a live example
of practical use of RTI Act by a persistant citizen, against corruption and
irregularities.
It requires lot of persistance and effort to trigger such action. Very well done
Shri Gopal Prasad (RTI Activist.) In my eyes, your contribution is netter that
hunger strikes of Ram Dev and Anna Hazare: it is such tiny drops that would make
the ocean of anti-corruption movement.
Why wait for the institution of Lok Pal to evolve : each one of us is empowered
to access Government records and initiate actions.

Actions of O/o DC(MSME) Vigilance Dept
CVC must check Vigilance file of this case as there are some severe procedural
Lapses in the Investigations. Vigilance Dept. of O/o DC(MSME) is simply Begging
from Mr.Dipak Chanda to provide the required information & he is not ready to
provide the correct information . How an Accused officer will provide Evidences
against him ? Following are the vigilance actions in this case :
Vigilance Action Mr. Dipak Chanda's Reply
Memo- 1 (Time Bound) No Reply
Memo-2 Insufficient Reply
Memo-3 Insufficient Reply
Memo-4 (with specific details asked related to his Extra Income only)
Insufficient Reply – Hiding the facts about Actual Money received
Further Vigilance Dept. of O/o DC(MSME) is simply proceeding towards the charge
of Income tax Laws Violation only Keeping other Charges aside.
There is No action against the other two (2) Co-Accused of the case i.e
Mr.Dharmendra Prakash , JDC (IC & CD /MA) & Mr.Jawahar Sircar Ex-Additional
Secretary (MSME) & Present Secretary (Culture).

• Official Passport(s) of Mr.Jawahar Sircar & Personal Passport(s) of his wife
must be Checked to know the fact that How many times she has gone with him on
his official tours & who paid the ticket ,hotel charges etc.
• Communication with Air India (GOI sales) Safdarjung Airport (Previously at CP
) office should be done to know the fact that how many times senior Officers had
taken their wives with them on Official tours on GOI Expense under any scheme
like ` Free Companion Tickets' which is actually not the free ticket & the
Scheme is Banned by DOPT by an Office Memorandum, Frequent Flyers points
obtained by the Senior Officers on their Official Trips have also been used in
their Personal Trips with the help of Mr. Dipak Chanda.
This Officer is under the protection of Very Senior Officers of the Organization
, As if anything is Proved against him then All the Senior Officers will face
Disciplinary Actions. Details of these Senior Officers will be Provided in
Part-II of my complaint.
As Mr.Hukum Singh Meena , Chief Vigilance officer of O/o DC(MSME) has himself
Looked after SSI-MDA Scheme as well as Nominations in Foreign Deputations in
Past so he can't Deal the matter and any Officer under him can't Deal it too as
per CVC Guidelines.
