Honest officer transferred
An Honest officer transferred who made the first GST arrest in her zone and collected evaded revenues for central govt. Everyone knew she was an epitome of honesty hence must have been sour tooth for many in department and evasion circle. Her transfer comes as a surprise as she was investigating few big files where many corrupt influential people were involved. Raises eyebrows if it was just a routine transfer or a conspiracy to remove her from the post so that the looted booty can be shared. Hope CBIC members team read this and transfer people only after thorough verification of IRS officers and their contribution to the job they are entitled. Wishing her good luck in future. Corruption seeds is what we sow and in the end corruption is what we reap.

Large number of promotion files pending with EO/ACC
A large number of promotion files of various departments are pending with EO/ACC since February. Why no one bothers to clear those pending files in chronological order whereas the files of influential officers travel at speed of light and get ACC clearance in a few seconds? Is this still a suit boot sarkar?

Disclosure of vigilance file after filing of charge sheet
Information pertaining to sanction of prosecution against the appellant by his department on CVC’s advice, was denied under section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act. The appellant submitted that a charge sheet has been filed against him in ACB Court, Kota in August 2016, and hence, the denial of information under Section 8(1)(h) will not apply in the case because the investigation has been completed. The PIO agreed to abide by the CIC’s verdict. The denial of information under Section 8(1)(h) in the matter was rejected by the CIC.
Comments
There has been a contradictory view regarding disclosure of documents relating to a vigilance inquiry after the charge sheet has been filed while the enquiry is still pending. Whenever the information is denied u/s 8(1)(h), the PIO must inform how the disclosure of information would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders. It is not merely a perception or an assumption, but a burden on the public authority to show in what manner the disclosure of such information would 'impede' the process.
