RTIs Registrations: DOP&T/R/X/22/00292/1 & DOP&T/R/X/22/00291/1 6. Date on which the appellant received the reply to the RTI: 29.07.2022
The RTIs were initially filed with Central Information Commission seeking information about the appointment of Mr Heeralal Samariya and Vanaja N Sarna as Information Commissioners at the CIC. Queries Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the RTIs were transferred to the DoPT. On 7th July 2022, the CPIO at DoPT, Mr Rakesh Kumar, answered Query No. 7 of the RTIs, whereas there was no reply on the queries that were actually presented for reply by way of transfer. It is submitted that the part of the RTIs transferred has not yet been answered yet. Therefore, it is respectfully submitted that the Appellate Authority provide the information on queries 2, 3, 4, 6 and initiate departmental action under section 20 of the RTI Act and CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 against the CPIO for gross and willful misconduct. Please also note that appellant will challenge the appointment of CPIOs (without going to the CIC in second appeal) in case the information is not provided when questions touching on public probity have been asked. The appeal is so present for decision.â€
DECISION OF THE FIRST APPELLATE AUTHORITY:
The First Appeal, RTI application and reply given by CPIO of CIC have been perused.
As per Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005 only such information as is available and existing and held by the public authority or is under control of the public authority can be provided by a PIO. The PIO is not supposed to create or collate information that is not a part of the record.

As per the RTI Act, 2005 one Public Authority cannot direct another Public Authority to provide the information to the appellant.

GROUNDS FOR FIRST APPEAL:
The Appellant submitted first appeal stating that:
1. With respect to query No. 1 of both RTIs, the CPIO erred in not providing the certified copy of the appointment orders of Mr. Heeralal Samariya and Ms. Vanaja N. Sarna, who are the Information Commissioners at the CIC. It is submitted that the certified copy was needed for further legal action. Moreover, the copy of the appointment order of any public authority must be provided without any demure. Please note there is no copy of the appointment order uploaded on the official website of the CIC.
2. With respect to Query No. 5, the link provided by the CPIO does not work. Notwithstanding the broken link. Therefore, please provide the certified copy of the terms and conditions of service as applicable to Shri Heeralal Samariya and Ms. Vanaja N Sarna and the certified details of thier salary and allowances drawn as Information Commissioner.
3. Queries Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the RTIs were initially transferred to DoPT. Thereafter, on 3rd August 2022, Mr Rakesh Kumar, CPOI of DoPT, sent the queries back to CIC for reply. It is clear from such sending back that Queries Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 were sent to DoPT just to delay and obstruct the disclosure of the information. No reply till date has been received from the CPIO of the CIC on the aforesaid queries. Therefore, the FAA is request to provide the information on the said queries and take action against the erring CPIOs.
DECISION OF THE FIRST APPELLATE AUTHORITY:
The First Appeal, RTI application and reply given by CPIO of CIC have been perused.
For Point 1, 5 & 7
In the instant case, the Appellant has submitted the first appeal after 30 days of receipt of reply of the CPIO i.e. reply dated 07.07.2022 which was delivered to the appellant on 12.07.2022. The First Appeal has been initiated by the appellant on 01.09.2022, which is well beyond 30 days. Appellant has not specified anything which could be taken as sufficient cause for the appellant not filing the appeal in time. So, this appeal cannot be taken into consideration as the time limit for submission of first appeal has already exceeded. The appeal is not admitted as per Subsection (1) of Section 19 of the RTI Act, 2005.
For Point 2, 3, 4 and 6
Point no. 2, 3, 4 and 6 pertains to other public authority i.e. DoPT for which the CPIO had forwarded the RTI application to DoPT and RTI No. DOP&T/R/X/22/00291 was generated.
As per the RTI Act, 2005 one Public Authority cannot direct another Public Authority to provide the information to the appellant. As per the Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 it is the duty of the applicant to file information request with the concerned Public Authority which holds the information. The First Appeal filed under the RTI Act, 2005 is not permissible to be transferred to another Public Authority.
However, the appellant may file the First Appeal with the concerned Public Authority.

GROUNDS FOR FIRST APPEAL:
The Appellant submitted first appeal stating that:
1. It has been mentioned in reply document point no: 1 to deposit Rs 12 in the commission to get the copies of required documents. But the options to do the same have not been suggested as to how the applicant can deposit the money. Whether it can be deposited through postal order / cheque/ DD or any other mode. Please suggest.
2. The applicant had not sought any opinion from the CPIO through point no: 4 of original RTI application. The information has been denied by the CPIO terming the same as seeking opinion. Kindly note that the applicant is a common man and wants to know about the rules followed by CIC in such cases where show cause has been issued. Since the day of hearing, the applicant is in complete dark regarding further developments in the case. Asking about next course of action in such a case is clearly a simple and very common information regarding the procedure that is followed by CIC. There must be some set norms. Seeking such basic information is nowhere alike seeking opinion. It is again being clarified that applicant wants to know the next step in the matter which is a common procedure.
DECISION OF THE FIRST APPELLATE AUTHORITY:
The First Appeal, RTI application and reply given by CPIO of CIC have been perused.
For Point No. 1
In the instant case, CPIO (DR to IC-HS) is directed to indicate the modes of payment by which the appellant can deposit the amount requested by the CPIO for supply of copy of the required documents, by 22.09.2022.
For Point No. 2, 3 & 4.
As per Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005 only such information as is available and existing and held by the public authority or is under control of the public authority can be provided by a PIO. The PIO is not supposed to create or collate information that is not a part of the record.
Accordingly, the reply given by the CPIO is appropriate and as per the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005. Hence, no intervention is required on behalf of the FAA in this matter.
