A.N. Tiwari is the new Chief Information
Commissioner – 30.09.2010
Information Commissioner A. N. Tiwari is the new Chief Information
Commissioner, succeeding Wajahat Habibullah. He will, however, hold the job
only till December 19, 2010 when he is due to retire, and this is, therefore,
virtually a stop-gap arrangement.
Mr. Tiwari's name was cleared after consultations with the BJP, the
principal Opposition party. A 1969 batch IAS officer and former Secretary,
Department of Personnel and Training, his name has been forwarded to President
Pratibha Patil for appointment as successor to Mr. Habibullah, who demitted
office on 29.09.2010.
Mr. Tiwari's appointment comes after a year of indecision on who should
succeed Mr Habibullah. While the government was keen that he should be replaced
by a bureaucrat, civil society groups had been putting forward names of various
activists.
The crunch came last October, 2009, when Mr. Habibullah resigned in
order to set up an information commission for the violence-racked Jammu and
Kashmir at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's invitation. But the Centre refused to
relieve him as it could not think of a suitable successor. In the end, Mr.
Habibullah completed his full term as CIC at the Centre, and J&K still has
no Information Commission — something the State clearly needs badly. And now
that Mr. Habibullah is 65, he cannot take on that job.
