Utmost
Secrecy is maintained in the matter of functioning of Judicial Commission by Home Department headed by Sri
Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister, Odisha
Tall Claim of Nabin Patnaik Govt.
as most transparent Govt. was
again proved false. The
Home Department which is under the control of Chief Minister is
not disclosing the information about
functioning of Judicial Commissions, details of expenditure made for their
functioning etc.
On 27.10.15, RTI Application
was submitted to the PIO, Dept. of Home, Govt. of Odisha seeking information
about functioning of Judicial Commission. The information sought for is as follows.
i. Provide copy of the
Govt. Notification for constitution of Judicial Commission of Inquiry on
Kalinga Nagar Police Firing, Kondhamal Riot and Chit Fund
ii. Provide copy of Terms
of Reference for abovementioned three Judicial Commissions.
iii. Provide details of
expenditure made for functioning of all abovementioned three Commissions.
iv. Provide information
about details of salary/ remuneration/ honourarium / other perks given to
Chairman of Judicial Commission of Inquiry on Chit Fund
v. Provide the
date on which
the Judicial Commission of
Inquiry on Kalinga Nagar and Kondhamal
Riot submitted the report
to Govt. and copy of Action Taken
Report, if any made by the Govt. on these Reports.
Sri S. Hembram, PIO did not
supply the information within 30
days i.e., statutory time limit fixed for supply of information under section 7(1)
of the RTI Act. Finding no response, the first appeal was made to
the First Appellate Authority,
Department of Home to
hear the appeal
and dispose it with direction to the PIO
to supply the information free of cost.
On 6.1.16, the First Appellate Authority
heard the case and directed
the PIO to supply the information within 10 days i.e.,
by 16th of Jan.16. Till today, the PIO has not
supplied the information. On 18th
Jan., I again wrote a letter to the FAA appraising him about non-compliance of his order. Till yet no response has been received from
the FAA and the PIO of the Dept. of Home.
Now , the people must
raise the question is it the transparency of Nabin Patnaik Govt.
