Dear Sri Gupta
Your advice on the issue is welcome and I shall ponder over it seriously before finally submitting my PIL.. I have submitted my second appeal to the CIC against the CSD , Min of Dfence GOI a few days ago on the similar matter as Military Est, Controllers of Defence Accts, The CSD auth and the Military Est all have stopped supplying any info in related to URCs citing a letter issued by JAG Br , Army which states :
As per ruling of Supreme Court Judgement delivered by Justice Dr Prasayat .J in a Civil Appeal No 3495 of 2005 decided on 28 Apr 2009( The Judge retired on 10 May 2009) in respect to status of the URC employees, it is ruled that URCs are private Ventures and its employees by no stretch of imagination are th employees of the Govt or CSD. By stretching further the JAG Br , Army has inferred " That URCs are not instrumentally of the state, hence not covered by RTI Act 2005"-.Hence info denied. Info had been denied to me when I enquired from CSD , Adelphi , Min of Defe , GOI - Number of registrations issued to Civilian Est run URCs and No of civilian employees registered as customers I was first denied by PIO citing Sec 8(1) that sovereignity of the country will be affected hence info denied. Now the first appelllate auth has cited JAG Br Army letter to upheld the decision of the PIO.
I am now getting hold of the complaints made to CBI, CVC , CAG, Def Minister , Fin Minister, PMO incl the Army Top Brass and shall expedite through RTI .
Thanks 5 lakhs crores plus one for the advice.
