  1. Whether it is rule of law that your friend is seeking information since more than five years in regard to penal action taken by UPSIC against erring PIOs of Mirzapur district . Some times it is told that five penalties have been imposed on four PIOs in two financial years as sought but latter it is told that only three penalties have been imposed on only two PIOs . More surprising is that even these three penalties are still not recovered from the salaries of erring PIOs which implies that no PIOs are penalized in this state as the imposed penalties are not recovered from the salary of erring PIOs. Where is rule of law in this state if the act passed in the temple of this democracy is not pursued by concerned staff of government. Accountable functionaries of government are taking rest and enjoyment in air conditioned rooms and public is spending nights without meal. Since more than two years ,8 posts of information commissioners are vacant and only two information commissioners are performing the job of 10 information commissioners but our state government didn't make serious efforts to fill up the vacant post of information commissioners. Even the intelligentsia class is on the verge of hunger in this country because of corruption in the system.
