GROUNDS FOR FIRST APPEAL:
The Appellant submitted first appeal stating that:
(a) Regarding point(a), the order sheet is not what is directed as the order of High Court cited in the RTI application. The order sheet available on the CIC website is only for disposed-off cases – it merely gives the status of case when the decision is uploaded. However, the order sheet, as is available for any case, in any court was desired to be maintained as per the order of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court. The daily order sheet, for example, is not available for the mega full bench hearing of 11 cases on 30/03/2022 on directions of Hon’ble Delhi High Court as on date as can be seen from below screenshot. In light of above the response of CPIO is deficient and CPIO needs to be directed to provide correct information. Please remember, this information is required to be maintained as per the directions of Hon’ble Delhi High Court.
(b) Regarding point (b), the order sheet shows the order was uploaded on 23rd February, 2022. The order sheet shows that order sheet was uploaded on 10/02/2022, whilst the order sheet says that the order was uploaded on 10/02/2022 with the date of order being 23/02/2022 (it is date later than the date on which order sheet was uploaded). Also, the order shows that it was signed on the same date of hearing, i.e. 13/01/2022 – if that were so, why there is no entry in the order sheet and why was it uploaded on website 40 days later. Also, the screen shot below shows that the order was uploaded on 10/02/2022, whilst the order sheet says it was uploaded on 23/02/2022. In wake of above, it is clear that the PIO has not provided correct and desired information. You may kindly direct the CPIO to provide the correct information immediately. Also, action should be recommended against the CPIO for not provided in the correct information in 1st instance. You may kindly hold telephonic hearing keeping in view principle of natural justice.
DECISION OF THE FIRST APPELLATE AUTHORITY:
The First Appeal petition, RTI application and reply given by CPIO of CIC have been perused.
For Point 1(a)
In the instant case, the appellant has sought the following information in his RTI application- “(a) Daily order sheets of all the Information Commissioners from 1st January 2022 till the date of providing information. This has to be uploaded online as per the directions of the Hon Delhi High Court in the case of RK Jain.â€
However, in her First Appeal she has attached a screenshot of order sheet for Registry of IC-NG only for the date of 30.03.2022. It is observed that the record for order sheets as available on the CIC website is already in public domain and the link for the same was already given by the CPIO in his RTI reply.
Moreover, 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.
For Point 1(b)
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.
The appellant in her grounds of first appeal has requested the following -
“Also, action should be recommended against the CPIO for not provided in the correct information in 1st instance. You may kindly hold telephonic hearing keeping in view principle of natural justice.â€
The RTI Act, 2005 does not empower FAA for any such action against the CPIO. Regarding the telephonic hearing, the opportunity of written submissions is also the reasonable/sufficient opportunity of hearing in the instant case. FAA found that the grounds of first appeal made by the appellant in her written submissions are sufficient for FAA to arrive at the decision in the instant case. Hence, FAA did not find any need for holding telephonic hearing.
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.
The appeal is disposed of accordingly. |
