Illegal Appointment of Sh A .K Musla, Ex Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun in Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara

Leave a comment
Mr. Anil Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director,
Bharat Electronics Limited,
Corporate Office,
Outer Ring Road, Nagavara,
Bangalore – 560045

Dear Mr Anil Kumar,

BEL is backbone of our defence services and contributes in specialized system needs of our forces as well as paramilitary forces.

BEL has always been associated with DRDO in several areas and fields and the joint venture has always given great results. But unfortunately corruption is also growing very fast in our defence sector. In DRDO, you must be well aware, how in name of secrecy and R&D unlimited funds are managed. There is no accountability in DRDO and scientists are utilizing their brains and skills to fool our country’s people by applying numerous methodologies, like changing nomenclature of items, changing specifications, rotating the same items as surplus available in labs, in customizing the systems purchased at exorbitant prices. These are common practices in DRDO but with fast development of communication systems and easy access to databases these corrupt practices are starting to get exposed.

Recently after superannuation Sh A .K Musla, Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun joined Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara. Please find the RTI application to DRDO and copy of reply by DRDO Hqrs. This practice is adopted by corrupt DRDO scientists; they join various institutions/ organization where commercial interests between both organizations exist. Dr W Selvamurthy (Dr in YOGA from Private Institute) has joined Amity Group as President, Amity Science, Technology and Innovation Foundation (ASTIF) and Chair professor, Life Sciences without obtaining the required NOC from government of India. Recently Defence Minister recommended CBI inquiry against top DRDO officials and Dr W Selvamurthy is one of them.

Sir, I have sent an RTI to Ms. Vanitha Bhandari, MANAGER (HR&A) PIO, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) Kotdwara-246149, Dist. Pauri Gharwal, Uttarakhand and till date have received no communication from, BEL Kotdwara.

It is requested that if you could please look into the matter and do needful to stop the corrupt practices prevailing in BEL with the help of DRDO officials. It would be a great contribution towards a corruption free India.

RTI for exposing Corruption of Dr Prahalada, Vice Chancellor, DIAT, Pune

Leave a comment

The CPIO, DRDO HQ
Room No. 314A

New Delhi – 110105

Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect to Dr Prahalada, Vice Chancellor, DIAT, Pune. As per CPIO DRDO reply RTI/02/2091/C/2011 dated 27th Sep 2011 File No. CIC/LS/A12011/000412  para (d) Dr. Prahiada, CC R&D (Ae& SI) & DS, DRDO HQrs availed DRDO guest house facility in Delhi from 26 Mar 2010 to 20 Mar 2011. But the fact is Dr. Prahiada, CC R&D (Ae& SI) & DS, DRDO HQrs availed DRDO guest house facility since 2005 after his posting from DRDL, Hyderabad. As per DRDO Hqrs telephone Directory from 2005 to 2010 Dr. Prahiada’s residence showed C-7, DRDO Guest House Qutab Enclave, New Delhi.

  1. Please provide the copy the document/ noting / any written paper received by CPIO, DRDO Hqrs from establishment in respect to Dr. Prahiada’s stay in DRDO guest house since 26th  Mar 2010 to 20th  Mar 2011
  2. Please provide total amount that was recovered from Dr. Prahiada.
  3. Copy of disciplinary action taken against Dr. Prahiada for illegally claimed HRA, if any.
  4. Residence proof of Dr. Prahiada which he produced to JCDA for availing HRA since his posting to DRDO Hqrs in 2005.

Kindly refer to following decisions of Central Information Commission and verdict given in these decisions.
File No. CIC/LS/A/2012/002612 dated 22.3.2013 (Dr. Neelam Bhalla vs. DRDO) Verdict – It is, no doubt, true that DRDO is an exempted organisation yet it has been the consistent view of this Commission that the benefit of exemption extends only to functional / operational matters and not to establishment related routine matters. The legality of this view has not been challenged in the relevant judicial forum so far.

Note: – Above required information is directly related to corruption and does not come under schedule II. As you are aware recently Defence Minister issued charge sheet to Dr A K Tyagi in connection to his involvement in DIAT library procurement. Dr Prahalada, Vice Chancellor, DIAT, Pune extended all help to Dr A K Tyagi for manipulation of documents, like when I sought information regarding the DIAT library the very next day Dr A K Tyagi visited DIAT on temporary duty in the name of RTI awareness program etc. It is only due to as CPIO, DRDO Hqrs Dr A K Tyagi provided false information of Dr. Prahiada’s stay in DRDO guest house and Dr. Prahlada was able to digest poor tax payer’s money (4 years HRA).

2. AN-I/R&D/RTI CELL/2013/J.P. Sharma, 18.9.2013 2
NOTE: Application dated 20.08.2013 received to PCDA(R&D) on 26.08.2013

Copy of the letters received by appellant on 16.09.2013 and 28.09.2013 respectively. Copy enclosed as Enclosure-1 and Enclosure-2.

5. Brief facts leading to appeal:-

(a)    An application under Section 6(1) of RTI Act 2005 dated 20 August 2013 was submitted to CPIO, PCDA (R&D), New Delhi for providing information regarding “Bills passed by PCDA (R&D) forwarded by DMSRDE, Kanpur“. Copy of the RTI Application dated 20 August 2013 is enclosed as Enclosure-3.

(b)    Central Assistant Public Information Officer (CAPIO), PCDA (R&D), New Delhi transferred the application u/s 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 vide letters cited above.

(c)     Under the provisions of Section 6(3) of the RTI Act 2005, the application under RTI Act was illegally transferred by CAPIO, PCDA (R&D), New Delhi with malafide intentions under planned conspiracy with Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and CPIO, DRDO HQ, New Delhi.

(d)    Appellant is intensely upset by the decision of CAPIO, PCDA (R&D), New Delhi and this leads to appellant to file an appeal u/s 19(1) of RTI Act 2005.

6.       Reasons/Grounds for First Appeal:-

First Appeal is submitted to First Appellate Authority on following reasons/grounds.

(a)    PCDA (R&D), New Delhi is a Public Authority under Central Government of India. As per information available on website of PCDA (R&D), New Delhi “The organisation of PCDA (R&D) is responsible for payment, accounting and internal/local audit functions relating to DRDO“.

(b)      PCDA (R&D), New Delhi is the sole custodian of the information sought under RTI Application dated 20 August 2013. Therefore transfer of application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 is illegal.

(c)      Under the provisions of Section 5 (2) of RTI Act, CAPIO is not authorized for transferring the application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 to any other public authority. CAPIO can only receive the application and forward to CPIO.

(d)      Under the provisions Section 5 of RTI Act, only CPIO is authorize to transfer the application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005.

(e)      Vide CIC decision in case No. CIC/SS/A/2012/003779/LS dated 27 August 2013 (J.K. Mittal vs. Delhi Police/PHQ), Hon’ble CIC held “CPIO is the fulcrum of the RTI regime.   As  per  section  7(1),  it  is the mandate  of   the  CPIO  to  provide  information  requested for by an informationseeker.RTI application can be transferred only by the CPIO to another CPIO and not by ACPIO”.

(f)      The application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 should be transferred within five days from the date of receipt of the application under the provisions of Section 6(3) of RTI Act. As mentioned above the application dated 20.08.2013 was received in office of PCDA(R&D) on 26.08.2013 therefore the application should be transferred up to 01 September 2013 but transfer of application u/s 6(3) of RTI Act on 06.09.2013 and 18.09.2013 is illegal under the provisions of RTI Act 2005.

(g)      Therefore, transfer of application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 by CAPIO is illegal. Hence both letters issued by CAPIO, PCDA (R&D), New Delhi are illegal and invalid under the provisions of RTI Act.

(h)      Appellant is deeply distressed by invalid & illegal decision of CAPIO, PCDA (R&D), New Delhi hence the First Appeal u/s 19(1) of RTI Act 2005 before First Appellate Authority (FAA).

7.   Prayer /relief sought for:-

  1. RTI Application dated 20 August 2013 submitted by appellant to CPIO, PCDA (R&D) has been illegally transferred under planned conspiracy of Public Authority of DMSRDE and Public Authority at PCDA including CPIO, CAPIO, PCDA(R&D), Main Branch, New Delhi.
  2. Therefore, appellant kindly prays to FAA, PCDA(R&D) , New Delhi to allow this appeal and issue orders to CPIO, PCDA(R&D) , New Delhi to provide the full information as sought/seek by appellant vide his RTI Application dated 20 August 2013 under the provisions of Section 7(1) of RTI Act.
  3. Under the provisions of Section 7(1) of the RTI Act the information should be provided to appellant with in the thirty days of the receipt of the application. Since the RTI application was received by CPIO, PCDA (R&D) on 26.08.2013 and information sought in the application should be provided by CPIO to appellant till 26.09.2013.
  4. Since the application dated 20.08.2013 was illegally and willfully transferred by CAPIO, PCDA(R&D) with malafide intentions & motives to CPIO, DRDO HQ, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi. Therefore CPIO and CAPIO both are liable to be imposed penalty u/s 20(1) of the RTI Act and disciplinary action u/s 20(2) of RTI Act by Hon’ble CIC.

8.       Grounds for prayer/relief sought for:-

  1. Gross Violation of Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 in transfer of application to CPIO, DRDO HQ

The public authority, to which such application is made, shall transfer the application or such part of it as may be appropriate to that other public authority and inform the applicant immediately about such transfer: Provided that the transfer of an application pursuant to this sub-section shall be made as soon as practicable but in no case later than five days from the date of receipt of the application.

b.    PCDA (R&D), New Delhi is a Public Authority under Central Government of India. As per information available on website of PCDA (R&D), New Delhi “The organisation of PCDA (R&D) is responsible for payment, accounting and internal/local audit functions relating to DRDO”.

c.      PCDA (R&D), New Delhi is the sole custodian of the information sought under RTI Application dated 20 August 2013. Therefore transfer of application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 is illegal.

d.      The information sought by appellant is not held by DRDO and DMSRDE, Kanpur as information about bills and payments related to vendors who supplied store and services to DMSRDE is held  only by PCDA(R&D) for Audit purpose.

e.       Therefore PCDA (R&D) is sole custodian of information sought and CPIO, CAPIO or Public Authority could not transfer the application u/s 6(3) of the Act.

  2. CAPIO is not authorize for transfer of application u/s 6(3) of the RTI Act 2005

a.     Under the provisions of Section 5 (2) of RTI Act , CAPIO is not authorized for transferring the application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 to any other public authority. CAPIO can only receive the application and forward to CPIO.

b.     Under the provisions of RTI Act, only CPIO is authorize to transfer the application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 to CPIO of other Public Authority.

c.      Vide CIC decision in case No. CIC/SS/A/2012/003779/LS dated 27 August 2013 (J.K. Mittal Vs. Delhi Police/PHQ), Hon’ble CIC held “CPIO is the fulcrum of the RTI regime.   As  per  section  7(1),  it  is the mandate  of   the  CPIO  to  provide  information  requested for by  an  information seeker .           RTI application can be transferred only by the CPIO to another CPIO and not by ACPIO“.

d.      Vide the CIC decision mentioned in point(c) above, Hon’ble CIC gave verdict that “As per Section 5(2), APIO is empowered only to receive RTI applications and then transmit them to the CPIO concerned. On the other hand, CPIO is empowered not only to receive RTI applications directly but also to respond to them. Hence, the functions of the CPIO and APIO are distinct and not co-equal”.

3.     Planned conspiracy of CPIO,CAPIO & Public Authority at PCDA(R&D) with Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and CPIO, DRDO HQ, New Delhi

It is quite evident that information sought should be provided by PCDA(R&D) as this public authority has not been placed under Second Schedule of the Act, thereby PCDA(R&D) is bound to provide the information sought to the appellant within 30 days of receipt of the application under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act.

Under the planned conspiracy of two public authorities PCDA(R&D) and Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur the CPIO did not provided the information to the appellant and illegally manages to transfer the application to CPIO, DRDO HQ (Public Authority – DRDO)  through his CAPIO Mr.  D.S. Sheoran, Accounts Officer.

Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur is involved in corruption and trying his all the best that evidences of his corruption could not be disclosed to the appellant. In promoting the corrupt practices of Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE the officials at ACDA, AO (R&D), DMSRDE, Kanpur are involved. Thereby they ignored serious lapses in purchases at DMSRDE during tenure of Dr. A.K. Saxena from 01.01.2011 to till date.

I would like to expose the movement of application submitted under RTI Act by Appellant at PCDA (R&D), New Delhi. The copy of application was send to Shri VK Singh, ACDA, AO (R&D), DMSRDE, Kanpur. In the AO(R&D) Office at DMSRDE, Kanpur , one Shri Anurag Srivastava, AAO is posted since last more than 10 years in the same office however all other officials were transferred on rotation basis as per transfer policy of PCDA(R&D).

Shri Anurag Srivastava is having close association with Dr. A.K. Saxena , Director, DMSRDE on basis of casteism as both belongs to same cast known as Kayastha. Dr. A.K. Saxena managed stay of transfer/posting of Shri Anurag Srivastava several times using his official position.

On receiving of copy of application under RTI Act submitted by Appellant, Shri Anurag Shrivastava along with Shri V.K. Singh met to Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE in his office and also to Shri Sarvesh , PIO, DMSRDE, Kanpur. All of them planned a conspiracy to transfer the application to CPIO, DRDO HQ so that CPIO, DRDO deny the information under the shadow and shelter of Section 24(1) of the RTI Act 2005. Thereby their corrupt & anti-national activities could not be exposed.

4.     Letters issued by CAPIO, PCDA(R&D) are illegal under RTI Act 2005

The application under Section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005 should be transferred within five days from the date of receipt of the application under the provisions of Section 6(3) of RTI Act. As mentioned above the application dated 20.08.2013 was received in office of PCDA(R&D) on 26.08.2013 therefore the application should be transferred up to 01 September 2013 but transfer of application u/s 6(3) of RTI Act on 06.09.2013 and 18.09.2013 is illegal under the provisions of RTI Act 2005. Therefore the both the letters issued by CAPIO dated 06.09.2013 and 18.09.2013 are illegal & invalid as per provisions of Section 6(3) RTI Act 2005.

5.       Letters signed by Shri D.S. Sheoran, Accounts Officer, CAPIO, PCDA(R&D)

As per the information available on PCDA (R&D) website pcdarnd.gov.in, Mr. D.S. Sheoran, Accounts Officer is CAPIO in main office. Both the letters dated 6.09.2013 and 18.09.2013 are signed by Mr. D.S. Sheoron, Accounts Officer, CAPIO.

6.      Information sought is pertaining to allegations of corruption

Dr. A.K. Saxena , Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur is involved in corruption, financial irregularities , violation of purchase rules as specified in Purchase Management 2006 and misuse of financial power vested to him by DRDO HQ. The information sought will expose the corruption in DMSRDE and nexus between DMSRDE and ACDA, AO(R&D) Office, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Appellant is surprised from the action and role of PCDA(R&D), CPIO and CAPIO on application dated 20.8.2013 by transferring the application to CPIO, DRDO HQ under gross violation of Section 6(3) of RTI Act and verdict in various decisions of Hon’ble  Central Information Commission. It appears that like ACDA, DMSRDE, Kanpur the officials at PCDA (R&D), New Delhi are working under pressure of Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

I hereby state that the information and particulars given above are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

RTI Act -2005 – Effective Tool to Tackle Corruption and Very Potent Weapon against Corruption and Nepotism

2 Comments

The main objectives of the RTI Act are – To promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority and

To set up a practical regime for giving citizens access to information that is under the control of public authorities.

RTI Act 2005 was introduced to make the government machinery transparent and enhanced the accountability for good governance.

Right to Information and has been given the status of a fundamental right under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. Article 19 (1) under which every citizen has freedom of speech and expression and have the right to know how the government works, what role does it play, what are its functions and so on.

The Act confers right to the citizens to know as to how the taxpayer’s money is being spent by the Government.

Right to Information Act empowers every citizen to seek any information, take notes, extracts or certified copies of documents or records, and take certified samples of material.

DRDO although governed by Indian constitution and draw salary from central government funds.

But decisions are autonomous without accountability. They all are self style generals, they have own rules and rule implantations in own terms & conditions, but when succumbed to injury look for RM for protection and ask protection in the name of secrecy.

Like when an RTI revealed that induction of Grade Pay – Rs 4800 without approval of finance ministry now question of recovery of Rs 24 Cr is big crisis for DRDO, several court cases are facing by DRDO, almost 665 technical officers are busy to tackle the recovery issue.

DRDO management to hide their irresponsible act, making arrangements for reassessment for these technical officers. Please imagine the money involvement and man hour wastage.

The present Honorable Defence Minister has tried his level best and convinced DRDO officers/ employees to fall in the line and follow the constitutional provisions.

Honorable Defence Minister has take prompt action as per rule:-

  1. Not granted extension to Dr V K Sarswat
  2. Suspended Dr Arun Kumar, DOP two hours before his retirement day.
  3. Charge sheeted to Dr. S M Veerabhadrappa just after retirement.
  4. Node to enquiry for Dr W Selvamurthy, Ex CC R&D, Ph D in Yoga, Ms S Geetha, Ms Swati Srivastva, Mrs T Chandra banu, Scientist ‘F’
  5. Charge Sheeted Dr A K Tyagi, ex CPIO, DRDO Hqr
  6. Protected whistle blower Sh Prakash Singh, Senior Admin Officer-I

These well known decisions are in the right direction and has encourage the common people to identify incompetent, corrupt official , non performers etc of DRDO Labs across the India. So this cancer of corruption, nepotism, casteism can be treated in first stage.

DRDO has made it mockery of RTI Act – 2005. There are several examples in CIC decision; “ The Commission has taken a consistent view that notwithstanding the fact that DRDO is an exempted organization, this exemption applies only in respect of scientific/technical matters and not in respect of establishment matters.”

And best part is this that after CIC stands, DRDO went Honorable High Court for wasting precious poor tax payer’s money. Common man cannot digest who give power to these corrupt officers for saving their own skin they are using public money.

In case of DMSRDE, DRDO Lab Kanpur, some RTI were placed to expose the corrupt practices following in the Lab. As usual practice of RTI cell DRDO all were denied and after thoroughly and specifically made first appeal force to think first appellate authority for provide requested informations.

RTI cell DRDO intends to disclose informations. However, the RTI cell at Lab level put the sundry things under schedule-II exemptions. DRDO has protected its corrupt officials under exemption clause in the name of secrecy.

Please find enclosed copy of FAX addressed to Director, DMSRDE, KANPUR  Letter No RTI/02/2091 /F /2013/0139.0140,0141,0142,0144 dated 27th September 2013 signed by Sh Bishan Singh, Astt. Director, RTI Cell, For First Appellate Authority.
