Haywire Biometric Apparatus in CESTAT
IN a note for an RTI reply from CESTAT:
The biometric apparatus goes haywire and normalcy is restored on its own after sometime. After inspection, authorized agencies of NIC have informed that the defects in the machine may be due to different reasons like networking failure, mishandling of apparatus by users or wi-fi failure. No date wise record has been kept about malfunctioning/non functioning of bio-metric apparatus.
There are two machines installed in CESTAT- one is installed in wing no.2 on second floor, and another on first floor near court hall.
There is only one camera working on first floor. Six cameras are installed on second floor out of which 5 are working as on date. Camera installed in Single Member Branch registry (second floor) is non functional as on date.
