[rti4empowerment] FIR against Punjabi/Bollywood singer Honey Singh for indecent/obscene songs [3 Attachments]

 

[Attachment(s) from Amitabh Thakur included below]

An FIR No 606/2012 has been registered against Punjabi and Bollywood singer Honey Singh for extremely vulgar and indecent songs like "Main hun Balatkari" (I am a Rapist) and "Kaide Pechayiya."  This FIR has been registered by me at Gomtinagar police station, Lucknow. I have said in the FIR that the songs are extremely vulgar, lewd and indecent and acts as an offensive catalyst for crime against women.

FIR has been registered under sections 292, 293 and 294 IPC. Other than Punjabi films, Honey Singh has sung in Hindi films Cocktail, Khiladi 786, Race2, Son of Sardar etc. In fact, there could not have been anything more vulgar and indecent than these songs, yet no action had been taken so far against him.

I provide a few of such links-

[rti4empowerment] UP RTI activist sends legal notice to prime minister

 

An Uttar Pradesh Right to Information (RTI) activist has sent a legal
notice to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his comment on the
"frivolous and vexatious use of the RTI Act" in his address at the 7th
annual convention of information commissioners in Delhi Oct 12.

RTI activist Urvashi Sharma said that after the observations by Prime
Minister Singh, an RTI was filed with the office of Central
Information Commission (CIC) asking for information on all such
applications that were personal in nature and were made to hog the
limelight.
In a letter (no.CIC/CPIO/2012/1850 dated 03-12-12), Director and Nodal
CPIO-Central Information Commission Pankaj Shreyaskar informed Sharma
that "no information in this regard is available with the commission".
She said the "last destinations of RTI applications are information
commissions and the seven-year record of the CIC does not have even a
single paper to validate the claims made by the prime minister".
"The reply is self-explanatory. It made it clear that no personal,
frivolous and vexatious RTI applications have ever been filed in these
seven years," the RTI activist told IANS.
She said that being a social and RTI activist, she was deeply hurt by
the anti-RTI statement.
Through her notice, Sharma has asked Singh to "either put the
documentary evidences to support your statement before the nation or
take your words back and issue a public apology".

[rti4empowerment] HSBC says everything OK with Bank, not satisfied we ask for enquiry [4 Attachments]

 

[Attachment(s) from Amitabh Thakur included below]

Friends,

Hongkong Shanghai Bank Corp (HSBC) has vehemently denied the various allegations made in a complaint by me and wife Nutan to the Governor, RBI about allegations of the Bank facilitating in getting black money stashed in Swiss Banks and brazenly running a hawala racket in India, encouraging tax evasion and HSBC, Dubai and Geneva not having a license from RBI to conduct banking operations in India and their operations in India were completely illegal. Based on these allegations, we had asked RBI to enquire into the allegations and cancel grant of licence under section 22(4) of the Banking regulations Act 1949, if found true.

RBI asked HSBC to look into the complaint and respond in 30 days. Ms Seema Mehta, Chief Nodal Officer, HSBC, through her letter dated 20 December 2012, has said that the Bank takes compliance with the law very seriously and with a new senior global leadership team and a new strategy since last year, it takes concrete steps to strengthen compliance.

But we don't feel satisfied with the response as the core issues in the compliant are still completely untouched and unanswered. Hence, we have again written to the Governor, RBI to get the allegations enquired and take suitable legal actions.

The matter is serious and needs a persistent effort, isn't it?

I present a copy of the complaint and the various letters sent to us by RBI and HSBC, for your kind response and guidance.

[rti4empowerment] RTI applications pile up with information panel

 

The pendency of Right to Information (RTI) applications at the State
Information Commission (SIC) are heading only northwards. Till March
2012, there were some 35,000 applications pending at the commission.
At present, with only three information commissioners (ICs) working at
the UPSIC, cases are piling up. UPSIC has eight vacancies against the
sanctioned strength of 10 ICs.

About 250 applications are filed everyday. The pendency at the
commission is due to first appeal authorities being almost absent in
the state. RTI applications are not getting disposed of at the level
of the public information officers (PIOs) too. In such a situation,
the entire burden of disposing of the RTI applications rests with the
commission.

[rti4empowerment] Explanation sought by ROC in Sahara Q and Sahara India Real Estate case

 

Friends,

The Registrar of Companies, Kanpur has asked for explanation against Sahara India Real Estate Corporation Limited in a complaint filed by me, my wife Nutan and a victim Ashish Verma from Lucknow.

Nutan and I had been told that Sahara India was collecting money through the so-called Consumer products network, called the Sahara Q Shop so as to keep it away from the regulatory framework of SEBI. Hence, we bought two bonds of Rs. 1000 each about which the Company managers told us that this was an investment scheme where we would be getting around Rs. 2335/ for an investment of Rs. 1000, after a period of six years. Thus, while on record Sahara Q Shop claims to be a consumer product network, it is actually acting as an investment scheme. The third complainant Ashish, an unemployed youth had complained that his investment of Rs. 2, 32,000/ in four Adobe bonds of Rs. 58,000 was not being refunded saying that they were converted unilaterally into Sahara Q shop "bonds".

Based on these complaints, Registrar of Companies, Kanpur has asked the Sahara Real Estate to furnish a parawise explanation to these allegations along with documentary proof. It has also asked five specific queries- whether any approval has been obtained under section 297 of Companies Act regarding conversion of Sahara Real Estate bonds to Sahara Q shop, whether the terms and conditions of Bond issued by Sahara Real Estate provides for purchase of goods from Sahara Q shop instead of refund of invested amount, does the prospectus filed provide for utilization of the Bond amount of investors for purchase of goods of Sahara Q shop, does the Supreme Court order provide for conversion of bonds instead of refunding the amount and the percentage of amount refunded in cash/bank and those converted into shares etc of other companies along with the details.

Registrar of Companies has said that if the details are not provided within 10 days, necessary penal action under Companies Act shall be initiated against the company and its directors.

The purpose is to help in serving the interests of ordinary investors. Need ur comments and further guidance.

[rti4empowerment] No records of Taj Mahal being one of the seven wonders: Govt

 

By Neha Shukla, TNN | Dec 21, 2012, 03.37 AM IST

when the government was asked to provide certified copies of
notifications, circulars, office notes and other records that declared
the 'monument of love' as one of the wonders of the world, the
government said it had no records to the effect.

The application which moved from PMO to Ministry of culture and landed
at ASI table finally, was answered in a one-liner by Agra circle of
ASI. "Record regarding declaration of Taj Mahal as one of the wonders
of the world is not available in this office," said the superintending
archaeologist and appellate authority of ASI's Agra circle.

The government could have explained if there was any international
body that described the Taj as one of the wonders of the world, or if
the monument was called so in a general parlance, said RTI activist
Urvashi Sharma.

[rti4empowerment] Personal writ for the cause of larger Public Accountability [1 Attachment]

 

[Attachment(s) from Amitabh Thakur included below]

Friends,

I have today filed a Writ Petition in Allahabad High Court, Lucknow bench which challenges the enquiry report of Chief Secretary, UP against a few government servants.  I had filed a Writ Petition in November 2011 alleging harassment by these officers. High Court had directed Chief Secretary, UP to conduct an enquiry in these allegations in four months. The enquiry report dated 06 July 2012 had found that the allegations are not being substantiated and had hence exonerated the alleged officers.

I have filed this Writ Petition as regards certain important issues of disagreement with this enquiry report, which have been described in great details in the Petition. I am pursuing this matter for long not to personally harm any person. To me, this is not a personal issue but a issue related with public accountability because I feel that the sense of being accountable for personal/public act shall also come in equal measures in the government sector where people shall have a right to make a government servant responsible for his/her acts.

I present a copy of the Writ Petition for your kind perusal and able guidance please.

[rti4empowerment] Signature in another person's name ? [1 Attachment]

 

[Attachment(s) from Amitabh Thakur included below]

Friends,

If a file says- "Approved by the Chief Minister" and is actually signed by a Secretary to the CM, is it legally valid? Legally, it seems to be against the basic principle of accountability and is certainly prone to be heavily misused by both parties. Today I filed a Writ in Allahabad High Court, Lucknow bench as regards the same.

The Writ Petition challenges the current practice of Secretaries of the Chief Minister office putting their signatures in the name of the Chief Minister. Till 2007, it was not so but later this arrangement came in.

To me it seems that no Rule gives such an authority to any person to sign in any other person's name. While it is lawful for the Chief Minister or Minister to delegate the authority to any particular officer to take decisions, but possibly law does not give any person an authority to ask any other officer to put signature in his name. Such an arrangement seems to be against the principle of accountability and is fraught with extreme dangers because both the concerned parties (CM and the Secretary) can misuse this and can later change their stand. It has the potential of leading to a lot of litigations.

I present a copy of my Petition for your kind perusal and guidance please.
