Dear Members,
I have made a complaint against certain people about forgery and fraud to Ludhiana police commissioner in March 2016. The police has been provided all the proofs in this regard. I was called several times to different police stations at Ludhiana for no reasons. I complied. When nothing concrete came up, i filed an RTI in September, 2016. The PIO didn't answer the RTI. I made a complaint to the Punjab State Information Commission 4 months ago, and was there for a hearing yesterday. The Ludhiana Police Commissioner representative there told me in front of the State Information Commissioner that the information i had sought from the Police Commissioner was provided to me through a letter, which was sent to me through ORDFINARY POST in October, 2016. I protested in front of the SIC that they MUST present the proof that the information has been delivered to me. They could not present anything. Then, they tried to give me a simple white paper on which it was written in Punjabi that the complaint i made was still under inc=vestiagtion. It was a simple paper with nothing on it like a stamp of the Commissioner/DCP/ACP/ or any one else. I refused to take that paper, and asked SIC to get me the information on the official letterhead of the official, or on a paper where there should be a stamp of the official along with his signatures. The SIC has adjourned the case for 24 april, 2017. What should be my course of action? The SIC is a political leader, and was clearly inclined towards the police department. How can a person appointed by the state govt. go against a state govt. department? To me, it seems that RTI is merely an eyewash, and there is no use of it. ANY THOUGHTS FROM LEARNED MEMBERS?
