President of India,
Rashtrapati Bhavan,
New Delhi-110004
Re: - Citizens petition against unconstitutional in-equality in public life:
With reference to the above as an honest and law abiding citizen of India I
complain that institutional corruption/abuse of public money that causes
enrichment of a few powerful officials continues since last decade in the
NIACL while the CIC is extremely biased to see to it that Right to
information is prerogative of a few elite
That the shocking bias favouring the powerful and denying to a common
citizen is reflected in the following:Central information Commission order
Applicant: S.S Hira on behalf of NIACL (*
The New india Assurance Co. Ltd)

CIC finding
3/01/2011
Public interest All information

Vis-a- vis
Central information Commission order
II appeal against abuse of public
money by few elite officials of the
NIACL they habitually enjoyed tour by
air for 4 years; CIC notice was merely
to attend video conference

CIC finding
Diversion of

resources

(Appeal No.CIC/YA/A/2014/000226 RTI 27/8/2013

SB)

9/09/2016
No need of

To

CIC

The consequences are that Oligarchy rights of elite NIACL are absolute
while the right of a humble citizen of India,despite RTI, is fragile.
As his majesty the president of India is the appointing
authority of chairman of

NIACL,a PSU ;also As per RTI Act,

CIC is appointed by the President, it is prayed that

glass
ceiling of apathy to corruption (that enriches few
elite officials including advocates) be broken so that
probity and transparency in public life be ensured.
Thanking you.

Re: Appeal under the Right to Information Act 2005
27/08/2013*

RTI application dated

With reference to letter No. CIC/CPIO/2013/1213-DS dated 03/10/2013* issued

by CPIO T. K. Mohapatra the appeal is filed as per the following:
1. The CPIO ,CIC reply that the information of call letters issued by CIC to New
India Assurance Co. Ltd (NIACL) is not maintained is vague and evasive. It
is a matter of record that call letters have been issued by CIC to CPIO and
FAA of NIACL, an insurance company,a public authority in terms of the RTI
act as the applicant himself has appeared during last about 4 years about
10 times or more following the video conference call letters issued by CIC
2. The appellant submits that all the information desired by him is within the
computerized record of CIC,the CPIO has to search with the name of public
authority and the details of call letters issued to NIACL for the desired
period shall be easily available.
3. The information desired is in utmost public interests ,it is directedly related
to abuse of public money of CPIO/FAA/representative of NIACL who
deliberately misread the notice of CIC to appear by way of video
conference, instead, they spend average public money of about Rs. Twenty
five thousand on each occasion to claim unnecessary tour on personal visit
to CIC. Example: on 15.07.2013 four different officers of NIACL appeared in
person to cause loss of about Rs. One lakh of public money.
