Political observers believe that results in Lok Sabha polls in Maharashtra are going to be fifty-fifty. It means that out of the 48 seats NDA will get about 24 seats while the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena will also get equal number of seats.
Yet another grist to the mill of ED in West Bengal?
After found irregularities and corruption in MGNREGA, PMAYG, and Teachers Recruitment Scam in West Bengal, it is reported that the State is going with major irregularities in the Central Government’s flagship programme Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM). Some reports also suggest, the scheme is not only going with low quality but also pipe material are purchased at exaggerated price from few selected vendors and this money is laundered to neighboring State & Country. Earlier, during Congress rule in Rajasthan, several senior officials involved in JJM were taken into custody by the central investigative agency. Will West Bengal be going the Rajasthan way, or it’s the new assignment awaited for the ED in West Bengal?

RTI Application and First Appeal filed by separate individuals
Mr. Shamim Alam filed an RTI application seeking information in relation to Non-Judicial stamp paper of the Denomination of Rupees 10 bearing a distinct number. The PIO replied that the disclosure of the sensitive details of the stamp paper(s) would adversely affect the economic interest of the country and would not serve any larger public interest. The information was denied by seeking exemption under Section 8(1)(a), 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act, 2005. First Appeal was filed by Mr. Shakil Ahmed as a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) holder of the Mr. Shamim Alam which was rejected by FAA. Upon a remark by the CIC during second appeal regarding the appropriateness of the FAA’s order in having rejected the First Appeal filed under SPA by Shakil Ahmed, the Representative of the Appellant feebly stated that the erroneous First Appeal stands rectified as the Second Appeal has been filed by Shamim Alam only. The CIC observed that the FAA has appropriately rejected the First Appeal as being not maintainable as the RTI Application and First Appeal are filed by separate individuals. Further, since the channel of First Appeal has not been properly exhausted by the Appellant, the instant second appeal is also not maintainable.
Comments
As far as possible, a person who desires an information should file the RTI application and appeal under his / her own name and signature.
