The instructor stands before a slide titled 'Central Information Commission (Sec 12-13)' with Hindi text 'केंद्रीय सूचना आयोग (धारा 12-13)'. He explains that the commission is constituted by the Central Government, noting the Hindi translation 'केंद्र सरकार द्वारा गठित किया जाता है'. The slide details the composition as one Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) and not more than 10 Information Commissioners (ICs), with the Hindi equivalent 'एक मुख्य सूचना आयुक्त (CIC) और अधिकतम 10 सूचना आयुक्त (ICs)'. He points to the appointment committee section, which lists the Prime Minister as Chairperson, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, and a Union Cabinet Minister. The tenure is described as prescribed by the Central Government or until the age of 65 years. The instructor uses hand gestures to direct attention to these specific bullet points, ensuring the audience grasps the foundational legal requirements for the commission's formation.

The presentation shifts to a tabular format summarizing the CIC with columns for Name, Nature, Establishment, Composition, Tenure, Appointment, Removal, First, and Current. The instructor actively annotates the screen, circling the number '12' under the composition column and writing '1' and 'max - 10' to clarify the structure of one CIC and ten ICs. He highlights the tenure as '3 years / 65 years'. Under the appointment column, he circles 'Central Government'. He then writes 'President' and 'Supreme Court' under the removal column, indicating the authorities involved in removing commissioners. Finally, he points to photographs of the commissioners at the bottom right, identifying Hiralal Samariya as the first CIC and showing current members like Anjali Bhardwaj and R.K. Tyagi, connecting the legal theory to current office holders. The table also lists the establishment date as October 2005.
The lecture progresses from theoretical legal provisions to a practical summary table. It clarifies the complex appointment and removal mechanisms by highlighting the specific roles of the Prime Minister, President, and Supreme Court. The instructor's annotations on the table serve to simplify the numerical data regarding composition and tenure. By including photos of the commissioners, the lesson bridges the gap between static law and dynamic governance, providing a complete overview of the Central Information Commission's structure and personnel.
