Affidavit and ID proof be must for filing complaints against government-employees- RTI petitions be also accompanied with ID proof

Many persons including mainly from those involved in yellow journalism file complaints at times anonymous against government employees with dozens of copies marked to number of authorities like including President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Governor, Lt Governor, Chief Minister, Central Vigilance Commissioner, Police Commissioner….etc thus unnecessarily burdening the system with complaints at times non-genuine. Certain mischievous persons misuse name of known activists by sending such complaints under their names with forged signatures, which causes unnecessary embarrassments to those whose names are misused for sending such complaints. At times, targeted government-employees serve notices for defamation to those whose names were misused in filing complaints.

Department of Personnel & Training should make it compulsory to file any complaint against a government-employee on affidavits with Identity Proof-ID of complainant to be attached. Only the authority with which original complaint may be filed incorporating affidavit and ID-proof may process on such complaints. Other authorities, with whom copies are marked, may simply file these without burdening the system by unnecessarily processing these.
