Respected Prime Minister,
I would like to draw your kind attention to the fact that number of cases pending in
the Central Information Commission is increasing day by day and people are
facing problems to get justice mainly due to the shortage of Information
Commissioners in the CIC.
In the meantime, I am given to understand that 2 (two) of the existing 4 (four)

members are retiring within a year, which will necessitate,appointment of some
more members within a very short period.
In this regard, I would like to introduce a young, energetic and highly intellectual
Medical Doctor, namely Dr KRISHNA KABIR ANTHONY, who is also very
active on Social front, whose Bio-data is attached herewith, for your kind
consideration for the job. He would, in my opinion, be an excellent choice for one
of the Central Information Commissioners.
Best wishes and warm reeards

D G No 2/24/2007/aC/Admn
Dated, September 14. 2007
The Central Information Commission constituted uncer the Right to

Information Act. 2005 consis:s of Chief Information Commissioner and four
Central Information Commissioners Under the Act, the Central Government may
increase the number of Central Information Commissioners upto ten, if deemed
necessary.
2. The jurisdiction of the Central Information Commission extends to all
Ministries, Departments and Undertakings of the Central Government as well as
to all the Union Territories including the NCT of Delhi.
3. As we discussed in our last meeting in your office chambers on 11 9.'07,
with the increase in awareness about the right to information, and increasing use
of it by the citizenry, the workload of the Commission has increased manifold. It
might be mentioned that at least 20% of the total number of appeals/complaints
under the Right to Information Act received by us relate to the GNCT Delhi.
4. One of the reasons for this substantial share of Delhi is because of the
fact that the Delhi Right to Information Act was enacted in the year 2001 and is in
operation since then. It is also a major element of Delhi's Bhagidari scheme
promoting citizens' participation in governance. Delhi has a ublic Grievance
Commission established under the State RTI Act, which consists of a Chairman
and three other Members ncluding two part-time Memoers.
5. After the Central Act has come into force, the relevance of the State Law
as well as the workload of the Public Grievance Commission has considerably
reduced. In fact there is some avoidable duplication of work. It also creates
unnecessary confusion in the minds of citizens Some of the public authorities
also find it difficult to deal with two Commissions dealing with he similar subject
• matter out under different legislations and with a different set o; procedural
reouirements.
6. It is therefore suggested that it could be in the public interest, and a better
integrated implementation of the RTI Act in Delhi, if the Chairman of the Delhi
Public Grievance Commission functioning under the Delhi Right to Informal on
Act is appointed as a Central Informatior Commissioner to deal with appeals and
complaints under the central Right to Information Act, 2005. This wi I enable the
citizens of Delhi to seek access to irformatior on all matters concerning the Delhi
Administration at one place. The location of the Public G -ievance Commiss on
will be another facillating factor, in That informaticn can be accessed and
grievance redress obtained under the same roof. This matter was discussed with
Lt Governor Josh' who was of the view that this will also facilitate the public
authorities of the State of Delhi
7. In the alternative. the Central GcAernment may kindly consider appointing
one more Central Infcrmation Commissioner to help expedite disposal at the levl
of the Commission to who we may then assign disposal of matters relating to
GNCT. Delft.
Yours Sincerely

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Terms and conditions of appointment of the
Chairperson and Members of the Regulatory
Authorities - Extension to Statuto•y
Bodies/Tribunals - Policy regarding -
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department's

Office Memorandum No. 3/6/98-Estt. (Pay [I) dated the 29 th
Jan.,198redwithOMa13.298onthebvsujc
and to say that the above instructions provide inter alia that the
Chairperson and Member (s) shall be deemed to have retired
from Government Service upon taking up their respective
appointment in the Regulatory Authority. The question
whether the Central Govt./State Govt. Servants on their
appointment should resign or retire from the Service before
taking up appointment in the statutory bodies/tribunals has been
considered in this Department. It is a recognized fact that the
Statutory Bodies are set up by the Government of India either
under the provisions of the Constitution or under an Act of
Parliament and the service conditions of the
Chairperson/Members may be regulated either directly under
the statute under which such Bodies are set up or under the
rules framed thereunder. These Bodies are mostly autonomous
in nature in respect of the fields of their functioning and the
orders issued by the Department of Pension and Pensioners'
Welfare regarding immediate absorption/deputation apply in
such cases. After careful consideration of the matter it has been
decided that the Chairperson and Member(s) who, on the date
of his appointment to the Statutory Body/Tribunal was in the
service of the Central/State Govt. shall be deemed to have
retired from such service w.e.f the date of his respective
appointment as such Chairman/Member. It is, however,
clarified that this provision will not apply to the cases where the
Constitutional provisions or the provision in the statute under
which the body is esta imbed, is contrary to t e above.
2. It is also clarified that the above decision shall apply to st"
the appointments in the existing statutory bodies and tribunals
and also to the future authorities and the pay on such
appointments will be regulated in accordance with the
prevailing orders of Govt. of India applicable to the re-
employed pensioners i.e. pav minus pension.
3. The Ministries of Agriculture & Cooperation etc. are

requested to bring the above decisions to the notice of all
concerned for taking suitable action for amending the relevant
rules accordingly.

Dear Dr. Sarkar,
I had sent you my acceptance for the position of Certral Information Commissioner saying i would
like to take 1 rupee as salary For reasons outlined in the leter below which i nave sent to many frierds. i
have decided to take the normal salary. Dc i need to do anything?
2"1 October, 2008.

Dear Friends,
I am happy to inform all of you that i have started working as a Central Information
Commissioner from 18 th Se to er I was sworn in at 4.00pm on that day and started work in
my office at 5.00pm. In the Central Commission certain departments are allocated to each
Commissioner and presently the deparments allocated to me are all relating to Delhi:
Secretariat, Directorate of Education GNCT, Directorate of Health and Family Welfare-GNCTD,
District Sessions ..iudge. DSSSB. Land and Building Department-GNC — D, MCD-GNCTD, and
Secretariat 0' Legislative Assembly. The appeals and complaints pending disposal in these are
about 1250 and I have started listing hearings of cases
I have a staff of two people provided to me and am dependirg more on the help cf volunteers;-
which is not really sustainable. Cases have been listed for hearing from 6 th October, and i am
reiterating my commitment tc ensure that there will be no pendency of cases with me of °ve• 3
months by erd of March 2009.
There is an admission of a mistake i wish to make. When the names were being proposed
from Civil society for the position cf Certral Information Commissioner, it was suggested that we
should offer to do this job without a salary, house, car etc. I had raised the issue about how i
could survive and it was suggested that some individuals or organisations would take care of
these. Without much thought i agreed to this. When i was actually selected, i began to think a
little carefully about how i would stay in Delhi. I felt that taking help from individuals,
organisations or Corporates would not be right. I then started thinking, i would try and stay
frugally like Aruna Roy, Nikhil Dey, Jean Dreze. Medha Patkar and other activists whose
spartan lifestyle i admire
I went to Delhi and am presently staying in a Hostel. The actual reality cf trying to practise
my romanticised frugal living s now staring a: me. I went out for dinner with a friend and when i
saw the bill of about 700 rupees, i cringed internally. Liv ng alone in a hostel, without my wife
Bharti is becoming difficult emotionally. I had planned to give up the car and start using
rickshaws and Public transport. However, i am not able to bring myself to do this. I realised i
could do my work much better if i paid the volunteers who are working with me in the office;- and
i cannot do it. I am beginning to wcrry that try ng to continue to live without salary, house etc. will
affect my performance, and could result in fai ing for all the wrong reasons. Various friends have
also adv sed me to accept the salary, hcuse etc..
I realised that it is my ego which is Preventing me from admitting my mistake. I am
therefore apologising for the mistake i had made in stating that i would work without salary,
house etc., and now plan to take these have discussed the matter with Bharti and decided lhat
the salary would be used entirely to facii tate my work and for other RTI related work. I am
aware that there wit be criticism of my step, but feel it is more honest to admit a mstake.
Some friends will be disappointed by this turnaround. But i need to admit this mistake, and
correct it I shall fulfill the role of Information Commissioner diligently. I once again apologise to
friends who might feel a betrayal.
Love
shailesh

Information Commissiorer ROOM NO. 415, 4TH FLOOR,
BLOCK-W, OLD J. N. L. CAMPUS
NEW DELHI-11C066
22November, 2008.
To,
Dr. Manmohan Singh,
The Prime Minister,
South Block,
New Delhi 110 011.
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am writing this letter to ycu to get your personal attention to an important matter
affecting the performance of the Right to Information Act. A significant stumbling block
in the implementation of this great Citizen-empowerment Act has been the problem of
mounting pendencies at the Information Commissions. One of the main jobs of the
Commission is to adjudicate on matters in second appeals and complaints by Citizens. A
total of 25174 second appeals and complaints reached the Central Information
Commission in the last three years, and there is a pendency of 8962 cases. At the Centre
and in various States, Citizens are waiting for 8 months to 18 months to get a decision on
their appeals and complaints. The pendencies are slowly mounting. At this rate a Citizen
will have to wait for years before the matter is adjudicated, as the wait gets longer. When
this happens, the law will have failed the common Citizen, for whom it was made. This
would be a monumental and avoidable failure of this great Act.
I thank you and the selection Committee for giving me the opportunity to serve the
Nation as a Central Information Commissioner. Since coming here, I have been able to
see the real reason for the failure of the Commissions to dispose of the cases before them.
In September of this year, four Commissioners were appointed, increasing the strength of
the Central Information Commissioners to nine. Them was no provision for staff, space
or infrastructure for the four new Commissioners. The Secretariat at the Commission
stated that they had no knowledge about these appointments, and it is apparent nobody
knew why these Commissioners were appointed. After two months I have realized that
even the Commissioners who were appointed three years back do not think they have
adequate staff to be able to deliver what they are capable of. After two months of being in
office, I still lack adequate office space, staff and computers. My present performance is
at a level of about 50% of what I can deliver. It is possible for a Commissioner to
dispose over 4000 cases per year, provided adequate staff and infrastructure is provided.
The present disposal average is much less than 2000 per Commissioner per year. Out of
the nine Commissioners presently in the Central Information Commission, two are
retiring and it is certainly possible for the seven Commissioners to dispose over 28000
cases in a year, which would be quite adequate. This can happen if adequate staff and
infrastructure is provided for the Commissioners to function.
The Government might like to soon fill up vacancies created by the retirement
of some Commissioners. Before launching into the exercise of identifying new
TELEFAX 91-11-23161796 e-mail shaileshgandhi©nic.in 1:4bplit httpliv.ww.cic.g0v.in

Commissioners I would urge you to ensure that the existing Commissioners get adequate
and appropriate staff and infrastructure to deliver on their mandate. One Central
Information Commissioner costs the nation over Rs. 25 lakh annually. Providing
additional staff to the serving Commissioners will not cost more than Its. 10 lakh per
annum but can increase their output to more than double. The sheer economics is strongly
in favour of providing more qualified staff to the existing Commissioners. Appointing
new Commissioners would be like sending Generals to do battle without soldiers.
Appointing additional Information Commissioners will be a futile exercise increasing
expenses without any benefit. I urge you to take the more economical course of action to
make the working of the Central Information Commission more effective and credible in
people's eyes, by providing the necessary staff and infrastructure. The overall delivery
and the work norms of the Information Commission have a very significant impact on the
ability of the Right to Information Act's ability to deliver to the Common Citizen.
To summarise:
I. There is a graNe threat to the healthy continuance of the Right to Information Act
caused by the increasing delays at the Information Commissions. The 30 day
information provision becomes stretched to over 400 days if the matter comes
before the Commissions.
2. The present strength of the Central Information Commissioners is more than
adequate to provide justice within 90 days. This is not happening because of lack
of a small required input of staff and infrastructure.
3. Adding Information Commissioners will be a cost burden without any gain for the
Right to Information.
Requesting you to please address this serious issue,
Yours truly,
shailesh gandhi
Central Information Commissioner

We will have four vacancies in the CIC by mid February. As promised here are
some suggestions:
1. We have a large number of applications coming in Iron the Defence
Services and also security services although otherwise exempt, on questions
of human rights and corruption. We should have a retired defnse services
•fficver. I'd recommend Adm Pradeep Kaushiva who retired as head of the
FDC, or Lt Gen Mahajan, retired head of the MES.Both have excellent
backgrounds which I have checked
2. There are a large nimber of NRIs agitating for service by the CIC. This
is a fringe area and we would benefit from a retired Ambassador. You could
consider Amitav Tripathi or Neelam Deo, both not' in Delhi and both retired
Ambassadors of excellent capability, as I can personally vouch for from
having served with both in the US.
3 Ms Maja Daruwala, daughter of Field Marshal Manekshaw and head of the
Commcnwealth Human Rights Initiative has been a leading activist for RTI
with a deep understanding of the subject. I'm not sure that she'd consider
being offered a position being a somewhat independent spirit, but this may
be wcrth consideration.
Anony retired :AS office/5 I'd suggest Krishan M Sahni, an excellent
officer of the 1969 batch who retired in 2006. Chit:a Chopra recently
retired from CAT coulc also be considered. But you might consider someone
from the Press for which Suman Dubey's advice would be best. In the
alternative you could consider a lawyer. Ishtiaq Hussain of Srinagar, Ed:tor
of the Srinagar Law Journal could be an option
Hope this is dseful.
All the best

Dear Sir,
This has reference to the proposal submitted by Department of Personnel
& Training relating to the acceptance of resignation of Smt. Omita Paul as
information Commissioner with effect from 26 June 2009.
In this regard, it is informed that the Joint Secretary: Central Information

Commission had forwarded the resignation letter of Smt. Omita ?aul, who has in
her letter addressed to the President tendered her resignation with immediate
Act. This Secretariat had forwarded the
effect under section 13(4) of the RTI
resignation letter to the Department of Personnel & Training.
It is also informed that sub-section (4) Section 13 of the RT1 Act provides
that an Information Commissioner may, at any time, by writing under his/her
hand addressed to the President, resign from his/her office. The RTI Act does
not provide that the resignation has to be formally accepted by the President.
The resignation takes effect automatically from the date intended. The
concerned Information Commissioner intending to resign need to only submit
the letter of resignation to the President as stipulated under Section 13(4) of
RTI Act. The administrative Department is required only to notify the
resignation. It is pertinent to mention here that the same procedure is followed
in case of resignation of judges of High Courts and the provisions related to
resignation of both these constitutional functionaries are identical.
In view of the above, the Department of Personnel & Training is requested

I to clarify
the position regarding acceptance of resignation of Smt. Omita Paul, as
Information ComMssioner before taking up the matter for consideration of the
President. The proposal submitted by the Department alongwith file is returned
herewith.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
