First Appeal against order of CPIO and Under Secretary, D (Pay/Services) vide MoD letter No. 35 (1)/2015/D (Pay/Services) dated 18 Nov 2016
Received by Speed Post on 14 Dec 2016

Sir,

I file this First Appeal as I am aggrieved by order of CPIO & Under Secretary, D (Pay/Services) who has not provided information that I requested for vide MODEF/R/2016/52881 i.e a photocopy file notings that were issued in September 2008 i.e 8 years ago in respect of Special Army/Navy/Air Force Instructions 1/S/2008 for PBOR, 2/S/2008 for Officers and 3/S/2008 on placing Lt Cols (and equivalents) in PB-4 and Grade Pay of Rs 8000/-.

2.      The subject matter, other than complete file notings, has been disclosed quite extensively, amongst others, in the following replies to requests for information under the RTI Act, 2005: -

(a)     MoD letter No. 237/RTI/D (P/P) dated 30.11.2015,

(b)     MoD letter No. 21(1)/2015 – D (PCC) dated 8.12.2015 requesting payment of Rs 130/- for 65 pages of information pertaining to MoD’s comments for 7 CPC,

(b)     MoD letter No. 237/RTI/S (P/P) dated 16.5.2016 requesting payment of Rs 84/- towards photocopying charges for 42 pages of information regarding CSC – 2009 and CSC - 2012.

(b)     MoD ID No. PC-237/RTI/D (P/P)/2014 dated 13.06.2016

(b)     File notings etc of MoD File No. 10 (1)/2009/D (Pen/Pol) processing the Cabinet Secretary Committee (CSC) Recommendations of 2009,

(c)     File notings etc of MoD File No. 12 (11)/2012/D (Pen/Pol) processing the Cabinet Secretary Committee (CSC) Recommendations of 2012,

(d)     File notings etc of MoD File No. 21 (1)/2015- D (PCC) on Note 26 dated 08 May 2015 processing comments for the Seventh Central Pay Commission,

(e)     Photocopy of MoD ID No. 22/S/2014 – D (PCC) addressed to Shri D K Rai, Director, Seventh Central Pay Commission of same date.

3.      The above (MoD) disclosed information is already in the public domain at Aerial View blog (URL: sharad10525.blogspot.in). There has been no dissatisfaction or unrest in the Defence Forces with respect to the ibid SAI/SNI/SAFI. The so called dissatisfaction, if any, has been addressed by two Cabinet Secretary Committees (CSCs) whose reports have already been disclosed by MoD.

4.      Therefore, the CPIO & US D-Pay/Services is not being truthful and is resorting to a blatant attempt to conceal information requested for by the indiscriminate use of Section 8 (1) (a) of the RTI Act, 2005.

5.       Being aggrieved, it is requested that the First Appellate Authority may order CPIO & US D (Pay/Services) to provide the information.

Yours faithfully,
Sd/-
