[rti4empowerment] Maha info commissioner's transfers, Guardians of transparency, suppressed the facts

 

Dear friends,

Information commissioners are supposed to be guardians of transparency. However, when it comes to personal benefit, it is revealed that they can suppress the facts. When Vilas Patil, then state information commissioner (SIC) of Nagpur had requested for his transfer to Nasik, High-powered committee (HPC) had recommended appointment of Bhaskar Patil for SIC at Nagpur on 15/1/2008. However, when after AG's report it was confirmed that  transfer was not possible. Vilas Patil withdrew his request and HEC sent a revised recommendation on 21/11/2008  to Governor for Bhaskar Patils appointment as SIC Amravati .It is hard to believe that information commissioners who were transferred last year were not aware of the facts and Advocate General's (AG )  report in this case. However, conveniently, this fact was suppressed and request of transfers was made to then newly appointed Chief information commissioner. Accordingly, he obliged them.
