Your Ref: OM dated 10.12.2010 in File No.1/35/2008-IR (draft RTI Rules)
Our Ref: PN/DoPT/OM/2010/RTI/AAA-0000-001
Subject Objections and/or Suggestions to the amendments proposed
Sir,
I refer to the above citations and your subject OM. I am caused to submit the following objection(s) and/or suggestion(s) to the same.
This is separate, distinct and without prejudice to other objections I may submit from time to time within the period allowed..
1) I observe that by this OM you require "comments" to be filed by email.
2) I OBJECT to be compelled to submit my comments, including my objections and/or suggestions by email. I insist that I (or any other interested person, including my group members) be given the opportunity to submit our representations in writing ie. hard copy by registered post..
3) I am objecting thus for the following REASON(S) / DEFECT(S):
a) Because Email is not a secure form of communication
b) Because no proof of receipt is provided to objectors.
c) Because, in law, only person who posses electronic signature can submit their comments by email to this draft amendments.
d) Because equity requires that State cannot compel anyone to file documents only in electronic form. I shall rely upon section 9 of the Information Technology Act to buttress this submission.
e) Because the State cannot presume or verify that the identity of the person filing the comments are authentic. (I apprehend that some NGOs are creating numerous fake email IDs to make representations on these amendments).
f) Because the impugned OM does not specify that persons filing their comments should sign it, or verify it, or provide their name and/or address and/.or other contact particulars.
4) Accordingly, I am constrained to SUGGEST / REQUIRE that the OM or any other means of accepting response from the public, be amended to remove all the defects which I have listed above.
