Daily Pioneer: Bhubaneswar: Wednesday, January 10, 2018.
Sir,
The Central
Information Commission (CIC) deserves all compliments for incorporating certain
new features in its website which include viewing scanned PDF file of the
complete documents submitted by a petitioner with the complaint or second
appeal.
The CIC has
now been equipped with infrastructure to register all submitted petitions
within a day or two, which earlier used to take a much longer time. This has
enabled the CIC to march towards a paperless e-management system whereby the
Commissioners are now having complete case files on screens without needing
paper files any more.
Every
submission made in respect of some registered petition is expeditiously scanned
to be linked with the registered petition.
It is time
the CIC added some more features on its website like updated subject-wise
compendium of all RTI-related DOPT circulars. Likewise all RTI-related
judgments of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, if put subject-wise on
CIC-website, would be a very useful feature for all concerned ones, including
even the Commissioners to write their verdicts in tune with court verdicts. I
hope our Odisha Information Commission would follow this soon.
