CPIO RAC Banaras Hindu University: Either Confused or Confusing

Surprisingly: Two contrasting answer for the same Question

Info seeker, Mahendra Pratap Singh, on 10.02.2011 asked BHU under RTI Act 2005 “What are the initiative’s drawn by the Banaras Hindu University for the full-fill the backlog of Teaching & Non Teaching Staff” CPIO replied on 12.03.2011 by Letter No. AA/VI-RAC/694 that “All the reserved vacant teaching and non-teaching posts for SC/ST/ and OBC have been advertised and recruitment process are goning on to fill the same”. Again info seeker filled RTI on 29.11.2011 asking Year, Department and Category wise  no. of the post, that have been advertised under the Special Recruitment Drive for filling up the backlog reserved vacancies for SCs, STs and OBCs of Teaching post in the year 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in Banaras Hindu Unversity” …..to this CPIO replied by letter no. AA/VI-RAC/219 dated 29.12.2011 that “….no special recruitment for SCs, STs and OBCs of the Teaching posts has been advertised…”.

Now it is very much clear that CPIO RAC has violated the Section 7(1) of RTI Act 2005.
