If the identity of the author of the file-notings is revealed by his name, designation or in any other manner & there is a possibility of such employee being targeted by the persons against whom an adverse noting is recorded, exemption is fully justified

39 appeals of the appellant were heard together - In view of the position of the appellant withdrawing her appeals & also the university had taken proactive steps to provide her the information sought, the CIC sees no reason to intervene in the matter

CIC: It is abundantly clear that such matters are being ignored & set aside without application of mind - CIC: The PIO & FAA to showcause why action should not be taken for misconduct & negligence; Conduct periodic RTI training & seminar

Respondent: It was a joint enquiry report & the facts of all charged officers were closely inter-mingled making it virtually impossible to sift out the portion of the enquiry report pertaining to the appellant - CIC agreed to the respondent’s submissions

CIC: It was seen that reply provided by respondent was just and proper but late; Warning issued to the PIO - CIC: Since the appellant did not receive the same, the respondent PIO is directed to resend the reply to the appellant

Cyber hacking on the rise

14 Feb, 2012

A reply to a RTI application by the National Informatics Centre, under the ministry of Communications and Information Technology, has revealed that nine government websites were hacked in the recent past. The hackers defaced the home pages by posting objectionable content. NIC’s reply added: “A number of hacking attempts are made on daily basis on governments websites hosted on NICNET servers. It is not possible to accurately quantify these. The attempts are usually effectively blocked by security controls in place.” In 2011, a total of 117 websites were reportedly hacked between January and June. In October, a Pakistan-based hacker defaced eight Indian government sites. Questions about the safety and security of websites – both government and private – have been raised.
