RTI activists Anil Galgali ask appointment detail of M A Khobragade to State Information Commission, Account & Pay Department and Govt General Administrative Dept. State Information Commission Section officer R P Jadhav informed that Chief Information Commissioner Ratankar Gaikwad issued M A Khobragade appointment order under section 15(4) of RTI Act 2005.

General Administrative Dept Under Secretary S H Umaranikar provide a GR copy dated 14 Jan 2010 which came in a effect after a high court bench mark order in a case no 85/2008 of Dr Jagnath Dhone and others PIL.
