new page on DMRC web in new subsection RTI Act cases,
supposedly report of Jan 1 to Mar 31. names me in
item-c: The number of appeals referred to the Central
Information Commission for review, the nature of
appeals and the outcome of the appeals ? One (1). Ms.
Gita Dewan Verma had appealed to the Hon?ble CIC that
her requests under RTI Act, 2005, were not entertained
by DMRC. DMRC had clarified to the Hon?ble CIC that
she had filed her requests without submitting the
requisite fees. It was also clarified that she
subsequently submitted two more applications under RTI
Act together with the requisite fees and both cases
were promptly disposed off.

This page was not there till around 17 April, when I
filed Supplementary Affidavit in my CIC case, which is
a Complaint case (not Appeal, as claimed by DMRC) and
does not refer to my two s.6 applications (not quite
disposed off, as claimed: one is added in my metroPD
case in court, wrt which the RTI reply in effect
refused the requested information). The prior ones
that I am supposed to have defaulted on the tenners
were made under s.4 and before DMRC was accepting fee,
etc. I had recd from CIC copy of its most-urgent
letter dt May 2 to DMRC requesting the PIO (Anuj
Dayal) to offer in 15 working days comments on my
Complaint, under intimation to me, failing which
further action will be initiated. I have recd no
intimation yet.
I have written to CIC for copy of DMRC comment /
clarification and also for having DMRC remove my name
from its website, contents of which I have impugned in
my complaint to CIC.

My CIC case against DMRC:
http://plan.architexturez.org/site/anomie/RTI/dmrc
Non-implementation of RTI Act in DMRC: Complaint to
CIC
Filed on 20.01.06 with reference to information gaps
in DMRC website in terms of section 4 of the ACT and
to seven requests for information under section 4 made
during 18.10.05 and 17.01.06 to point out
non-compliance of section 4(1)(b) and/or seek
publication under section 4(1)(b) or 4(1)(c) or 4(2)
and/or information under section 4(1)(d) or 4(4). The
Complaint contends that continuing ad-hoc PR by DMRC
amounts to "mis-information / misleading public,
professionals, investors, authorities and institutions
to participate in / endorse / replicate DMRC
activities inclusive of violations attracting severe
penalties", that "DMRC is spending huge amount of
public money, but even basic facts of its functioning,
accounts, etc, are not known to public", and that it
is exemplifying "a culture of dis-information and
mis-information" by displaying "alongside propensity
to personalise the organisation with a combination of
corporate opacity and self-promotional PR, utter
indifference to transparency and accountability
guarantees of RTI ACT"...
Supplementary Affidavit with prayers
Filed on 17.04.06 to "bring on record the following
and to pray for specific directions in their light:
(a) Purported reply dated 30.03.06 to the requests
under section 4 that is variously evasive, misleading,
incomplete and inaccurate...; (b) Patently incomplete
and misleading information in a new section titled
Right to Information Act added on DMRC website in
purported compliance of section-4(1)(b)"...
----
Meanwhile, DMRC has not replied on further court
notices in my metroPD writ petition; its most-favoured
metroPD partner Parsvanath is about to float IPO; its
chairman Secy MUD has been made head of infrastructure
committee with ToR including in effect replication of
the undisclosed metroPD based financial model; Delhi
Laws Special Prov Bill has suspended all sealing
notices issued by MCD incl to a Parsvnath metroPD.
btw, DMRC is one of my test cases for a preliminary
hypothesis about structural flaws in the RTI Act that
incapacitate action against cultures of
mis-information and dis-information. And this is the
second payment-defaulter maligning that RTI has
returned to me in lieu of information: nothing
compared with some other RTI boomerangs that I know
of, but quite disgusting.
