Times: New delhi: Sunday, 07 February 2016.
An RTI
activist has alleged that the registrar of the Central Information Commission
is allegedly using government vehicles and taxis in violation of service rules
and has complained to the Department of Personnel and Training and the Chief
Information Commissioner.
Commodore
(Retd) Lokesh Batra through his RTI application found that between October 1,
2015 and December, 2015, Registrar M K Sharma used government vehicle and taxi
service which was a violation of terms contract on which he was hired.
Batra alleged
that the RTI reply shows that Sharma used government vehicles on which Rs
24,374 were incurred while Rs 21,720 were spent on taxi.
He also
alleged that former Additional Secretary, Department of Legal Affairs was hired
as consultant Registrar for six months from October 1, 2015 onwards.
The terms of
his employment with the Central Information Commission clearly say that he will
not be entitled to any perquisites such as HRA, CCA, TA, residential
accommodation, and transport facilities, Batra alleged citing the order of
Joint Secretary (admin) at CIC, S P Beck.
Batra had
sent the complaint along with his RTI response and the order of Beck.
An SMS sent
to Sharma seeking his reaction remained undelivered as he is purportedly out of
station.
