What Is logic behind appointments and giving additional charge to SIC's ?

No one can  understand logic behind giving SIC pune bench additional charge to amaravati divisional commissioner Ravindra J Jadhav. It was easy to handle pune bench for brihanmumbai or konkan commissioner,even then they will handle single charge, while ravindra jadhav will handle charge all the way from Amaravati.More over the information regarding this is only in Contact details of SIC, No circular or order regarding this is on SIC website.This not being done for benefit of pune bench.

In last month only pune bench additional charge was given to Aurangabad bench commissioner D.B.Deshpande.He has been now given additional charge of Nagpur bench while it was comparatively easy to handle pune bench for Aurangabad commissioner and Nagpur bench for amaravati commissioner.In the nutshell it is clear that  all this exercise is  being done surely to please some one very High Profile and not for benefit of  Right to Information Act.

Last month the state government had made appointments on three posts of information commissioners in Maharashtra, which were lying vacant for more many months. Ajit Kumar Jain, former Additional Chief Secretary; Ravindra Jadhav, former Secretary of ex-President Pratibha Patil; and Thanksy Thekkekara, former Additional Chief Secretary were appointed as new information commissioners.

The fourth appointment of was of Vasant Patil, superintendent engineer of Tapi Irrigation Development Corporation,but he did not take oath  as the tenure of his current post was  scheduled to end by March. However now the news from corridors of mantralaya is, his resignation has been accepted and any time in next few days he will take oath as a state information commissioner.
