[rti4empowerment] Why are they above LAW?

 


Friends,

In two cases, I asked for copies of two letters of the State Government dated 15 February 2012 and 27 June 2012 which were mentioned repeatedly by IG Karmik in her letters dated 15 May 2013 denying me information previously.

To this I got a reply from IG Karmik that if I want to get a copy of these letters, I shall contact the State government itself, meaning thereby that the office would not provide it. The reply did not say why the information would not be provided- whether it was not available in their office or was it restricted information under the Act.

I found this reply completely against the provisions of the RTI Act and hence have presented two complaint before the Chief Information Commissioner under section 18 of the Act pointing several previous instances to seek appropriate penalty against the alleged wrong doing.

Do fail to understand why many officers feel the law of the land does not apply to them? Till how long in Independent India? And why do we accept these self-drawn conclusions?

Copy of the complaint letter sent to CIC, UP--
