The RTI Application was filed with Shahdara (North) on 08/09/2008. In the MCD’s
inefficient manner it was transferred on 30/09/2008 to Chief Engineer, Slum & JJ Dept.
Within the Slum & JJ Dept. it appears that it took 16 days to reach the deemed PIO. The
deemed PIO states that he has given the reply on 11/10/2008 where he has replied that the
said place is not a park and no gardener has not been appointed and not works have been
done in the said place. There has been a delay in giving the information but it appears to
be the result of the overall inefficient working of the MCD as a whole.

The Appeal is allowed.
The information has been provided.
This decision is announced in open chamber.
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.
Any information in compliance with this Order will be provided free of cost as per Section 7(6) of RTI Act.
