Central Information Commissioner
Central Information Commission,
New Delhi-110067
Hon’ble Sir,
Subject: Decision No. CIC/DS/A/2011/002483/RM dated
This bears reference to your
captioned decision copy of which is enclosed. It does not contain reasons for
your decision. In this connection I humbly enclose extract of a judgement dated
08-09-2010 of
Hon’ble Supreme Court, emphasizing importance of reasons in decisions by
Courts, quasi-judicial authorities, and administrative authorities.
I hope you will take note of above
judgement and ensure that orders with proper reasons are passed by you at least
in future to ensure compliance of this judgement. I am sure you do not intend
to take disadvantage of weakness of common citizens to move higher judiciary
against defective CIC decisions or to defy Hon’ble Supreme Court.
This is part of social audit to
get quality decisions from Information Commissions, since each CIC decision
costed nearly Rs.6754/- in the year 2007-08 to public exchequer and now it
would be costing nearly Rs.10000/- per decision. Citizens expect not only duly reasoned
and speaking decisions but also matured and path breaking ones from
Commissioner of your stature and back ground.
It would be interesting for you to
read my enclosed write-up which was circulated in a CIC meeting in Nov 2007 by
first Chief Information Commissioner of India
Yours faithfully,
J. P. Shah

Email: s.mishra@nic.in --If such decisions are not checked,
other Information Commissioners at CIC and SICs would be tempted to replicate
it. You may order review to correct deficiency which transgresses decision of
Hon’ble Supreme Court.
