a-Br<l-rn-bt:an /42 3 [P.T.O.

A Public Information Officer has received an application under RTI Act. Having gathered the information, the PIO discovers that the information pertains to some of the decisions taken by him, which were found to be not altogether right. There were other employees also who were party to these decisions. Disclosure of the information is likely to lead to disciplinary action with possibility of punishment against him as well as some of his colleagues. Non-disclosure or part disclosure or camouflaged disclosure of information will result into lesser punishment or no punishment.

The PIO is otherwise an honest and conscientious person but this particular decision, on which the RTI application has been f:tled, turned out to be wrong. He comes to you for advice.

The following are some suggested options. Please evaluate the merits and demerits of each of the options :

(i) PIO ~ ~ cnT 31'8 ~ ~ <fiT ~ ~ ~ fffi; oo'lfu oR 3ffi ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <wtcmn oR~ Cf6 m ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ itl The PIO could refer the matter to his superior officer and seek his advice and act strictly in accordance with the advice, even though he is not completely in agreement with the advice of the superior.

The PIO could proceed on leave and leave the matter to be dealt by his successor in office or request for transfer of the application to another PIO.

The PIO could weigh the consequences of disclosing the information truthfully, including the effect on his career, and reply in a manner that would not place him or his career in jeopardy, but at the same time a little compromise can be made on the contents of the information.

(iv) PIO ~ €6~1f?I~, ~ ~ f.rurl cnT ~ -ij ~wft ~. ~ ~ oR 3ffi ~ ~ ~ ~ <WfCl I~ oR I The PIO could consult his other colleagues who are party to the decision and take action as per· their advice.

You are working as an Executive Engineer in the construction cell of a Municipal Corporation and are presently in-charge of the construction of a flyover. There are two Junior Engineers under you who have the responsibility of day-to-day inspection of the site and are reporting to you, while you are finally reporting to the Chief Engineer who heads the cell. While the construction is heading towards

completion, the Junior Engineers have been regularly reporting that all construction is taking place as per design specifications. However, in one of your surprise inspections, you have noticed some serious deviations and lacunae which, in your opinion, are likely to affect the safety of the flyover. Rectification of these

lacunae at this stage would require a substantial amount of demolition and rework which will cause a tangible loss to the contractor and will also delay completion. There is a lot of public pressure on the Corporation to get this construction

completed because of heavy traffic congestion in the area. When you brought this matter to the notice of the Chief Engineer, he advised you that in his opinion it is not a very serious lapse and may be ignored. He advised for further expediting the project for completion in time. However, you are convinced that this was a serious matter which might affect public safety and should not be left unaddressed.

What will you do in such a situation? Some of the options are given below. Evaluate

the merits and demerits of each of these options and finally suggest what course of action you would like to take, giving reasons. (250 words) 20

Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu is known for its manufacturing clusters on firecrackers and matches. The local economy of the area is largely dependent on firecrackers industry. It has led to tangible economic development and improved standard of living in the area.

So far as child labour norms for hazardous industries like firecrackers industry are concerned, Intemational Labour Organization (ILO) has set the minimum age as 18 years. In India, however, this age is 14 years.

The units in industrial clusters of firecrackers can be classified into registered and non-registered entities. One typical unit is household-based work. Though the law is clear on the use of child labour employment norms in registered/non-registered units, it does not include household-based works. Household-based work means children working under the supervision of their parents/relatives. To evade child labour norms, several units project themselves as household-based works but employ children from outside. Needless to say that employing children saves the costs for these units leading to higher profits to the owners.

a-BRL-m-hcov/ 42 6

On your visit to one of the units at Sivakasi, the owner takes you around the unit

which has about 10-15 children below 14 years of age. The owner tells you that in

his household-based unit, the children are all his relatives. You notice that several

children smirk, when the owner tells you this. On deeper enquiry, you figure out

that neither the owner nor the children are able to satisfactorily establish their

relationship with each other.

You are heading a leading technical institute of the country. The institute is

planning to convene an interview panel shortly under your chairmanship for

selection of the post of professors. A few days before the interview, you get a call

from the Personal Secretary (PS) of a senior government functionary seeking your

intervention in favour of the selection of a close relative of the functionary for this

post. The PS also informs you that he is aware of the long pending and urgent

proposals of your institute for grant of funds for modernization, which are awaiting

However, you have been receiving information from many corners about his attitude towards the female colleagues; particularly his habit of making loose comments on women. In addition, he regularly sends indecent SMS's to all the team members including his female colleagues.
