Grievance Description

The matter concerns the working of the district supply officer, district Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. The staff of the district supply officer took arbitrary action against the vulnerable applicant whose constitutional and human rights have been violated by the concerned public staff. It is most unfortunate that those indulged in corrupt activities by taking the blessings of the concerned accountable public staff were set free and people belonging to the weaker and downtrodden section were made scapegoats.

An application on behalf of Mrs Sameena Begam W/O Fatahu, Village-Mahuari Kala, Post Mahuari Kala, mohalla-Kewtan, Vindhyachal, District-Mirzapur, PIN Code-231307, mobile number-7084435815 to seek information under right to information act 2005 concerning arbitrary cancellation of the Ration card. 

The first page of the attached PDF document to the online rti application is the Ration card details of the aggrieved applicant Mrs Sameena Begam W/O Mr. Fatahu. The second page of the attached PDF document to the online rti application is the Aadhar card details of the aggrieved applicant Mrs Sameena Begam W/O Mr. Fatahu.

The third page of the attached PDF document to the online rti application is the Aadhar card details of the aggrieved applicant Guddu Ali S/O Nanhku S/O Mrs Sameena Begam W/O Mr. Fatahu. The fourth page of the attached PDF document to the online rti application is the revenue record details of the aggrieved applicant Mrs Sameena Begam W/O Mr. Fatahu.

Under article 51 A of the constitution of India the applicant is making following inquiry with the district supply officer, district-Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh regarding the arbitrary cancellation of the Ration card of the aggrieved applicant without providing proper opportunity to the aggrieved applicant.

1- Public information officer must provide the reason for the cancellation of the Russian card of the aggrieved applicant attached as the first page of the pdf document to the online rti application. 

2- Public information officer must provide the total price of the paddy and total price of the wheat sold by Guddu Ali S/O Nanhku 

3- Public information officer must provide the account details opened in the name of the son of the aggrieved applicant named Guddu Ali S/O Nanhku as well as financial transaction details made by the government into the account of my son.

4- Please provide the name and designation of the staff of the government on the basis of whose report cancellation of the Ration card was made by the office of district supply officer.

5- Whether any notice was issued by the office of district supply officer before cancellation of the Ration card of the aggrieved applicant to seek the explanation of the Ration card holder as an opportunity to prove her innocence as required under natural justice.

Please provide the copy of any such notice issued by the department before cancelling the Ration card of the aggrieved applicant.

Rule of Law defined by Dicey as the Supremacy of Law, Equality before Law. Rule of law according to Dicey means the absolute supremacy or predominance of regular law as opposed to the influence of arbitrary power or wide discretionary power.

Those who indulged in fraudulent activities during the purchase of the wheat and paddy were arbitrarily set free and those who became victim of those fraudulent elements were punished on the large scale by cancelling their Ration cards. Where is the social justice in this largest democracy in the world if there is an open gate of arbitrariness and tyranny?
