DIMAPUR, JUNE 14 (MExN): Following a complaint filed by the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) with the Nagaland Information Commission (NIC) against Nagaland Home Department for denying information to NPRAAF sought through RTI regarding the High Powered Committee (HPC) on Illegal and Unabated Taxation, the Chief Information Commissioner, NIC, Toshi Aier, IAS (retd) has fixed a hearing on June 16 at the Hearing Room of the Nagaland Information Commission Kohima.
This was informed in a press note from the NPRAAF today. It informed that the PIO Home Department and NPRAAF have been directed to attend the hearing.
“The HPC report does not come under any Indian law qualifying it to be classified and NPRAAF sees no reason why the particular report should be denied to any citizen on the mere pretext of under active examination by yet another Committee which is taking longer time examining the HPC report than the actual time taken by HPC to submit its final report,” the NPRAAF stated. Meanwhile, it hoped that the issue of illegal and unabated taxation being of “utmost public importance,” the judgment would be delivered in favour of NPRAAF.
