You are an honest and responsi ble civil servant. You often observe the
following :
(a) There is a general perceptio n that adhering to ethical conduct one may
face difficulti es to oneself and cause problem s for the family, whereas
unfair practices may help to reach the career goals.
(b) When the number of people adopting unfair means is large, a sma,ll
minority having a penchan t towards ethical means makes no differenc e.
(c) Sticking to ethical means is detrimen tal' to the larger developm ental
goals.
(d) While one may not involve oneself in large unethica l practices , but giving
and acceptin g small gifts makes the system more efficient.

 You are the manager of a spare parts company A and you have to negotiate a
deal with the manager of a large manufacturing company B. The deal is highly
competitive and sealing the deal is critical for your company. The deal is being
worked out over a dinner. Mter dinner the manager of manufacturing company
B offered to drop you to the hotel in his car. On the way to the hotel he
happens to hit a motorcycle injuring the motorcyclist badly: You know the
manager was driving fast and thus lost control. The law enforcement officer
comes to investigate the issue and you are the sole eyewitness to it. Knowing
the strict laws pertaining to road accidents you are aware that your honest
account of the incident would lead to the prosecution of the manager and as a
consequence the deal is likely to be jeopardized, which is · of immense
importance to your company.

You are a Public Informatio n Officer (PIO) in a governmen t departmen t. You

are aware that the RTI Act, 2005 envisages transparen cy and accountabi lity in
administra tion. The act has functioned as a check on the supposedly arbitrarily
administra tive behaviour and actions. However, as a PIO you have observed
. .
that there are citi?ens who filed RTI application s not for themselves but on
behalf of such stakeholde rs who purportedl y want to have access to
informatio n to further their own interests. At the same time there are those
RTI activists who routinely file RTI application s and attempt to extort money
from the decision makers. This type of RTI activism has affected the
functioning of the administra tion adversely and also possibly jeopardize s the
genuinene ss of the application s which are essentially aimed at getting justice.
What measures would you suggest to separate genuine and non-genuin e
application s ? Give merits and demerits of your suggestion s. (250 words) 20
