The Supreme Court today asked for a response from Chief Information commissioner of U P retired Justice M A Khan after governor T V Rajeshwar sent a reference to the apex court accusing him of official misconduct and committing irregularities in appointments in his office. A three judge bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan had asked Justice Khan to appear in the court and accept notice.
After receiving complaint from the state government governor T V Rajeshwar had written to the apex court that prima facie he is satisfied that the appointments made by Chief Information Commissioner ware "in flagrant violation of reservation rules. The appointments were made by the state Chief Information Commissioner or on his direction in an arbitrary manner without conducting any examination for the same".
"The Chief Information Commissioner made uncalled for, objectionable and derogatory remarks against the Chief Minister, Cabinet Secretary, the Chief Secretary and the Chairperson of the U P Advisory Council during the hearing of a matter in the course of his official duty on October 31,2007 and November 15, 2007," the reference said.
According to the reference, "the state Chief Information Commissioner conducts himself in an autocratic style in relation to other state information Commissioners and does not follow settled rules of procedure and law in his working".
The court has given six weeks time to Justice Khan to file his response after which the court shall take a final view on the reference.
