Room No – 152, PMO,
South Block, NEW DELHI -110011

Subject: Request to provide facility of filing online RTI applications for DRDO and give directive to DRDO to Honor the RTI act 2005 in right spirit to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.

Reference:     (i)  My letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject        “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”

                     (ii)   PMO reply ID No. 10/3/2014-PMP1/30140 dated 19th May 2014

                     (iii)    DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal                                          Kishor Pandey, SO,  PMO, New Delhi

 

Honorable Sir,

  1.  www.corruptionindrdo.com continues to expose the corruption/nepotism prevailing in DRDO since the last four years. DRDO’s honest officials send corruption inputs from all DRDO establishments and with help of RTI’s and from internet information, the corruption inputs are regularly passed to the government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
  2. www.corruptionindrdo.com’s efforts recognized by honest officials of DRDO and website regularly getting corruption/nepotism inputs from each and every corner of the country. On basis of the points raised by the website, DRDO also took several corrective measures and constituted inquiry committees for examining the truths.
  3. In my 16th April 2014 letter I have requested Honorable Prime Minister to kindly take appropriate corrective measures against officials who are involved in unconstitutional acts and give strength to RTI- Act 2005. It has really empowered the common man. Also, fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of  the strong RTI Act -2005.
  4. The online RTI portal “Guideline – An applicant who desires to obtain any information under the RTI Act 2005 can make a request through this RTI Online Portal to only the Central Public Authorities of main Ministries/Departments located at New Delhi initially”. In the first phase, this facility is available to Ministries/Departments/Apex Bodies mentioned in the list available in ‘GUIDELINES’, but there is no list available in RTI portal. Like Defence Ministry having several offices in  New Delhi
  5. Sir, I have received a letter from DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi in respect of reply my letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
  6. In DoPT letter Sh R K Girdhar, Under Secretary (RTI) stated that “if you not satisfied with the reply of CPIO, may filed appeal before the first appellate authority in the same public authority u/s 19(i) of the RTI Act 2005” it seems that the letter forwarded by PMO was not even read by Sh R K Girdhar. It shows the seriousness of DoPT regarding RTI issues or Sh R K Girdhar just trying to shield the nodal officer.
  7. I have enclosed the remark of nodal officer not CPIO that they have returned with “You have filed more than 40 online RTI applications relating to DRDO on the address of Department of Defence which has been physically transferred to DRDO under intimation to you. DRDO is a separate public authority and is also placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, your online RTI applications seeking information in r/o the DRDO and sent to Department of Defence will not be acted upon henceforth. You may directly send your application to the DRDO for the information.”
  8. Sh R K Girdhar, just overlooked the letter contents and send regular fixed reply without applying any mind. I don’t know RTI Act 2005 is a serious responsibility or just for feeding papers.
  9. Sir, after exposing the corruption / nepotism of DRDO’s senior officials because RTI Act-2005. Some officials suspended, some got charge sheet and some are in queue. Now DRDO officials are trying to make a wall for RTI Act 2005. Recently an unconstitutional letter issued by Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO, Hqrs Cell on 8th March 2014 to all establishment/Lab show that they clearly made their policy not to give any RTI reply. (Copy enclosed) As per Sh R K Girdhar in one RTI reply in reference to that “any CPIO can compel to other CPIO not to give information under RTI” he stated that “There is no such policy of compelling or a CPIO being compelled by other PIO for not providing information to the information seeker. A PIO can be penalized by Information Commission under Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005.”
  10. Further in 28th May 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
  11. DRDO is in neck deep corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism and the reason being this DRDO is unproductive since last 15-20 years, don’t believe their data and dabas because when our forces will be ready to accept those then only our country will believe on DRDO, otherwise it will  be only ok for 26 January  republic show  tableau .
  12. In view of the above, I request you Sir, the RTI is the only effective way to restrict corruption in DRDO. Please give directives to DRDO & DoPT to honor the RTI act 2005 in the right spiritto promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.

DRDO RTI Cell Trying to take shelter of High Court Order

Leave a comment

DRDO RTI cell doing propaganda that Honorable High Court declared DRDO 100%   exempted  organization from RTI Act-2005 and started giving denial  to each and every RTI request without seeing the merit and facts that the request pertain to corruption. And best part of this now they are stop writing “except information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations”

RTI cell including First appellate authority also cited the Delhi High Court Judgment passed in WP © 83/2014 DR. NEELAM BHALLA .. Petitioner Through: Mr. R. Sathish, Advocate. Versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS ..Respondents Through: Mr. Neeraj Chaudhari, Advocate for R-1 and 2.

In this judgment is nothing new every one clearly knows DRDO was an exempted organization under Section 24 of the Right to Information Act, 2005. In other words, the Act would apply to DRDO only to the extent of information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations.

In DR. NEELAM BHALLA case  DR. NEELAM BHALLA  prayer to honorable court that information supplied by then CPIO, DRDO  Sh Bundella was incorrect and inaccurate and court says

“4. It is a matter of fact that Shri Bundela had provided inaccurate and incorrect information to the appellant but Shri Bundela’s contention that he had transmitted information as received by him from CPIO of RAC cannot be disregarded. It is important to bear in mind that Shri Bundela was not the holder of information. The holder of information was CPIO, RAC. Whatever information was W.P.(C) No. 83/2014 Page 1 of 4 forwarded to Shri Bundela by CPIO, RAC, he transmitted the same to the appellant.

6. Even so, before parting with this matter, I would like to caution Shri Bundela to exercise due diligence in responding to the RTI application in future.”

4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the view that once the CIC has held that DRDO is an exempted organisation under Section 24 of RTI Act and the information sought does not pertain to corruption and/or human rights violation, it was not open to the CIC to carve out any further exemption.

But in whole judgment there is nothing new and not giving extra immunizing to DRDO from RTI act, if there is any extra facilitation in judgment than DRDO should quote specifically that.

  1. DRDO RTI cell also go through the judgment of  CWP No. 12904 of 2009

In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh

HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE  MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR

under Section 24(4) of the Act which envisaged that nothing contained in this Act shall apply to such intelligence and security organizations A combined reading of these provisions would reveal, only that information is exempted, which is directly effecting and co-related to the “Intelligence” and “Security” of that organization of the State and not otherwise.

The matters pertaining to recruitment/appointments and day to day administrative nature information, where it is also found that DRDO top officials did lot of irregularities. Therefore honorable defence minister approved CBI intervention against 10 top DRDO officials including 2 ex- DRDO chiefs one Dr V K Saraswat and other one Sh M Natrajan  for their ugly acts.

It was establish facts till date all senior officials of DRDO who were fixed by CVC and CVO, MOD were exposed with the help of RTI’s only.

So DRDO officials are afraid of RTI’s if they are honest then why they worries from RTI’s . The Ex CPIO, DRDO Dr A K Tyagi who is facing charge sheet in corruption case was the big manipulator and protector of corrupt officials.

I request to DRDO RTI cell you people are serving to our nation; please not to protect culprit’s corrupt officers, your younger generation will ask you what did you contributed for justice. Now in the age of IT revolution era kid can explore what are the score of my grandpa, because these documents are alive forever.

I want to appeal all information seeker from DRDO please don’t dishearten from these act of these corrupt DRDO officials who are taking false shelter.

Please mail/post/send ordinary dak all your queries to www.corruptionindrdo.com postal address or mail address, we will took the matter up to higher ups. We are also planning to filled a PIL for request supreme court for delist the name of DRDO from Second Schedule of RTI Act 2005. As we collected lot of of informations from all over the country.

RTI ONLINE PORTAL – Supporter of Corruption & Corrupt Officials

To                                                                                                                    16th April 2014
Honorable Dr Man Mohan Singh,
Prime Minister,
PMO, North Block,
New Delhi -110011

Subject: Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO

Honorable Sir,

I Prabhu Dandriyal, ex DRDO employee and resident of Dehradun, Uttarakhand fighting against corruption since 1999.

When the RTI Act 2005 implemented through our Honorable Parliament, it was a historical decision to empowerment common man of India.

Today, Sh Rahul Gandhi ji, Smt Sonia Gandhi ji daily quoting in election rallies that RTI Act 2005 is their gift to common man of India; it is 100% true that day one common man experiences his strength to correct the corrupt system and RTI Act helped mass common people of India.

Since its inception, I have filed several RTI applications to expose the corruption and slowly the corrective measures are taken by concern departments, but still long way to go on.

Sir, DoPT is the nodal agency for implementing RTI Act-2005 and I was found some officials from DoPT are supporting corrupt officials of DRDO.

Sir, I filed an online RTI application to DRDO for request information in respect of Dr. AK Singh, DOP, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. The information can expose the wrong doings of DRDO officials. But my RTI application was returned by DoPT official unprecedentedly.

My  RTI application MODEF/R/2014/60617 filed online portal on 31/03/214 addressed to Dr. RB Sharma, CPIO, DRDO under department of Defence was returned online on 15th March 2014 with this remark which one is  unprecedented act of portal manager/ in-charge against the guideline.   Remarks :- You have filed more than 40 online RTI applications relating to DRDO on the address of Department of Defence which has been physically transferred to DRDO under intimation to you. DRDO is a separate public authority and is also placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, your online RTI applications seeking information in r/o the DRDO and sent to Department of Defence will not be acted upon henceforth. You may directly send your application to the DRDO for the information.

As per Guideline – An applicant who desires to obtain any information under the RTI Act 2005 can make a request through this RTI Online Portal to only the Central Public Authorities of main Ministries/Departments located at New Delhi initially. In the first phase, this facility is available to Ministries/Departments/Apex Bodies mentioned in the list available in ‘GUIDELINES’

It is astonishing fact that DoPT official mentioning   that DRDO placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005 but they forget they are not exempted for corruption and human right violation matters; it seems that the officials involved are biased and supporter of corrupt official of DRDO.

I request you kindly take appropriate corrective measure  take action against officials who are involved in unconstitutional act and give strength to claim of UPA government that RTI- Act 2005 is really empowered the common man and fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of  strong RTI Act -2005.
