Jammu: In a reply to Right to Information Query the authorities of Jammu university have admitted that over 32,000 passouts including graduate and post-graduate candidate are waiting to get their degree  from Jammu University which includes students from 2006 to 2011 batch. The varsity has not issued  graduate and post-graduate Degrees to a total of 32,120 passout students from different streams the list includes 26,564 graduates and 5,556 post-graduate students who have not received their degrees since  2006-07 (Undergraduate courses) and 2010-11(PG Courses).

The information has been provided by the Public Information Officer of the Jammu University vide his office letter no. PIO/JU/13/7169 dated 29/May/2013 in response to application of RTI Activists Raman Sharma. While appreciating the Public Information Officer of the university for providing all the information, Raman said the reply is quite shocking. It is very unfortunate that the university which owns ISO status can be so careless and tardy in its action that it has not issued degrees to 33,000 successful candidates for  last 5 to 6 years. Today the institutions are awarding online degrees to the students but here in our state the people at the helm of affairs still lagging behind. As per the reply total number of successful candidates who have not been issued their graduation degrees from session 2006-07 onwards are 26,564 and  the total strength of post-graduate candidates waiting  for degrees from session 2009 onwards are 2,256 of session 2010 and 3,300 of session 2011, the RTI reply states. The reply also states that over 1100 students only from Women College Parade, Jammu have not been issued their Degrees who passed out in the year 2009. There are many other students who have not been issued their degrees by the JU.  

When the matter of pending degrees was brought to the notice of the Vice Chancellor’s Secretariat, the senior officers there immediately issued orders to the concerned department to clear the backlog without any further delay. In the meanwhile , the  RTI applicant has said he has also apprised the governor about the issues and has sought a direction in this regard . ‘A similar RTI application  was also filed with the Kashmir University on 04/April/2013 through Jammu and Kashmir State Information Commission but till no intimation in this regard has been received from there, Raman informed.

J & K: Misuse of RTI is a Hoax-- Nothing on Records to prove

State info panel caught on wrong foot over ‘misuse’ of RTI Act  

Arteev Sharma
Tribune News Service

Jammu, May 9
The State Information Commission (SIC) seems to have been caught on the wrong foot after it “perceived” that the Right to Information (RTI) Act was being “misused” and suggested that the “misuse can be checked if the information (sought by an applicant) is allowed to be accessed only for three years.”

The Commission said it had received several “verbal complaints” wherein Public Information Officers (PIOs) and other government officers said RTI activists were “harassing and blackmailing” them in the name of the RTI Act and there was a need to check such “malpractices”.

The Commission’s observation, however, has sparked a controversy after information seekers wanted to know how the RTI Act was being “misused” in the state.

During his visit to Aurangabad on March 10, the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC), J&K, G R Sufi, had said that “the way out (to check the misuse of RTI Act) could be if the information is allowed to be accessed only for three years to the public and later only if there is a judiciary requirement or any such important reason”.

Interestingly, on April 5 the Commission in response to an RTI application admitted that it had received no complaint “in writing” regarding the “misuse” of the RTI Act so far.

It also admitted that nothing exists in official records vis-à-vis any investigation done by it to access and establish the allegations that the RTI Act was being misused to harass officers or to blackmail anyone.

“None in writing” was the response of the Commission when it was asked as to how many PIOs and other officers had made written complaints that the RTI Act was being misused or some activists were harassing or blackmailing them. It also stated that no meeting so far had been convened to discuss and debate the misuse of the Act.

Raman Sharma, a Jammu-based activist who on March 11 filed an RTI plea seeking complete details about the number of written complaints made by PIOs regarding the misuse of the Act, alleged that it (SIC suggestion on March 10) was an attempt to weaken the Act, which had already been rendered a “toothless tiger” by the state government.

He said the Commission being a statutory body and custodian of the RTI Act needed to strengthen it. “On the contrary, it is bent on weakening the Act which is not good for society as a whole,” Sharma said.

A senior official of the Commission, who insisted on not being named, claimed it was not necessary that the complaint should always be made in writing.

“There could be no written complaint but there may be verbal complaints which may be looked into. The PIOs are reluctant to file complaints in writing and, at times, they convey their issues verbally. The Commission can take cognisance of verbal complaints,” he said.

He said the PIOs had no powers to ask an information seeker why he wanted information covering a long period (10 to 40 years), but the Commission could pose queries in this regard.

“There are implied powers, instead of expressed powers, with the Commission to question the RTI activists (on seeking information covering a long period),” the official said. If the Commission could tighten the noose around PIOs, the applicants must also be held accountable, the official added.

The CIC in his single line response maintained, “It was my personal opinion and it is up to government to make any such amendment.” 

No plaint on ‘misuse’ On March 10, the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC), J&K, G R Sufi, during his visit to Aurangabad had said that “the way out (to check the misuse of RTI Act) could be if the information is allowed to be accessed only for three years and later only if there is a judiciary requirement or any such important reason”. On April 5, however, the State Information Commission in response to an RTI application filed on March 11 admitted that it had received no complaint “in writing” regarding the “misuse” of the RTI Act so far.

Let's have a Indo-Pak Prisoners' Rights Commission

Sarabjit should be the last victim of Bias

By Raman Sharma

Beyond even an iota of doubt, the Pakistani government and establishment there in Lahore have totally failed to perform their legal duty of protecting the life of a human being namely Sarabjit Singh, who happened to be an Indian Citizen who was under judicial custody facing a death sentence pronounced by the Pakistan's own judiciary. As per the law, it was the responsibility of the Pakistan government and the provincial government to protect him till a final decision to execute the sentence or pardon him is being taken. But even despite repeated prayers by the family members of Sarabjit requesting them to take necessary steps to ensure his security in their jails, the authorities there in Pakistan did not pay any heed to their demand and ultimately their negligence caused the brutal killing of Sarabjit.
May be the Pakistan government does not have any hand in this conspiracy of killing him because if they wanted to kill Sarabjit they might have legally executed him because as per Pakistani law he was a convicted prisoner who was awarded death sentence by the Pakistan Supreme Court and whose mercy petition had been twice rejected by the Presidents of Pakistan. But yes Pakistan and its establishment is guilty of not taking necessary steps to ensure his safety and security in the jail. They are also guilty of hiding the facts about those who attacked Sarabjit. Pakistan also deserves condemnation for not taking any legal action against the jail authorities who were legally bound to ensure proper security arrangements for the jail inmates. Moreover, Sarabjit was facing a death row and he should have been provided extra security cover even inside the jail. Therefore, apparently there are many questions for which people at the helm of affairs in Pakistan need to reply.
But, I do not put the entire blame on Pakistan for this unfortunate and inhumane act. The family members of Sarabjit and especially his sister for the last so many years is running from pillar to post to get his brother, who was in jail since 1993, released. She had presented a number of memorandums and prayers to the Indian Prime Minister, Home Minister, Foreign Minister and other political bosses but everyone did lip service and beyond that nothing was done. Anyhow, unfortunately, a human being who was an Indian citizen has been brutally killed. Forget whether he was innocent or guilty; at the end of the day he was a human being and deserved some humanity.
This is a very serious issue which would not die with Sarabjit. Governments on both the sides and the civil societies should discuss and debate this further. There should be no further instigation either from Pakistan or India. The media must not try to inflame the situation but they should rather focus on the issue of prison reform across the globe starting from own country. Government of India, media and Indian civil society should appreciate the human rights activists in Pakistan who provided support and legal aid to Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Sarabjit during her visit to Pakistan. At present there are hundreds of other Indian citizens detained in Pakistani jails facing different charges and similarly there are obviously many Pakistani nationals imprisoned in different jails of India. Now, the government of India should take up case of each Indian citizen with Pakistan so that they do not meet such brutal fate.
In response to an RTI query filled by me in 2009, the government of India informed that there are around 6400 Indians jailed in different foreign countries across the globe and there are over 5000 foreigners imprisoned in different jails of our country. But surprisingly this is unfortunate that the government of India had refused to share the data of foreign nationals who were in Indian jails despite completion of their term of sentence. The government of India had rejected this information citing that they have no such data to intimate that how many foreigners are still languishing in Indian jails who had served their maximum term of sentence which was pronounced by our own judiciary. Even this scribe (in year 2010) had moved a petition to the National Human Rights Commission of India to direct the government of India to divulge this information and the NHRC also as per its customary duty forwarded it to the Union Home Ministry for appropriate action but then after nothing was informed or intimated.
My submission to my government and jail authorities is that we should treat every human being equally and the foreigner nationals in our jails should also be provided same treatment with respect to human rights as our Indians avail as per jail rules, manuals there must not be any bias merely on the ground of once nationality. Supreme document of our country, the constitution of India does not allow any prejudice against anyone merely because of one's race, cast creed, color or nationality. Everyone is equal in the eyes of law. In our law it was nowhere mentioned that if any offence is committed by Indian citizen he would be awarded some lesser sentence and if the same crime is committed by a foreigner he would be given extra punishment.
As far as the case of Indian prisoners in Pakistani jails is concerned or vice versa there is obviously a tendency of bias against each other which the jail-mates in both the countries had to face and there are number of allegations of torture and harassment. To change this prejudice we need immediate jail reforms and must built a mechanism like Indo-Pak Prisoners Commission which would be authorised to visit any jails where a citizen of either India or Pakistan is detained. This commission may have the eminent people having sound knowledge of culture, Law, Social Issues, Languages of both the countries. This commission should be empowered to receive complaints from the prisoner(s) or their relatives without any interference and it should also have the power to order action against the guilty officer if found violating the jail, rules and manuals. There should also be some sort of prisoner's transfer treaty between India and Pakistan where prisoners guilty of petty crimes be transferred to their own country ensuring that they complete their term of sentence there or if both countries agrees the prisoners may transfer the prisoners to some third friendly country which is agreeable to both the nations.
Both government should not waste their time on allegations and counter allegation but take concrete steps so that in future no human being suffer because of the political hatred between the two neighbors. Though it is appreciable that now the government of India is offering some monetary help to the family members of Sarabjit but this is a cosmetic effort which would not last long and ultimately we have to have some mechanism to safeguard human values respecting each other's sovereignty. (The author is an RTI activist and can be reached [a]jkrtiact@gmail.com, Mob. 9796811012.)
