ORDER
Smt. Babita, Appellant, filed an application dated 24.10.2009, seeking
information under the RTI Act on 5 points from the CPO, Office of Deputy
Commissioner of Police, Crime against Women Cell, Nanakpura, New Delhi. A
very short reply was provided by the PIO wherein it is not clear whether all the
requisite information as permissible under the RTI Act has been provided or not to
the Appellant. The First Appellate Authority also, while upheld the decision of the
PIO and advising the ACP to look into the complaint and decide the matter on
merits, advised the Appellant to collect the information as approved/intimated by
the PIO. In her appeal filed before the Commission, the Appellant submits that no
reply/order has been received by her either from CPIO or the FAA.
During the hearing the Respondent submit that on receipt of the notice of
the Commission relevant information i.e. a copy of the complaint, copy of
written statement of Appellant and her husband has been provided to the
Appellant.
After hearing the Respondent and on perusal of relevant document on file,
the Commission observes that the reply of the CPIO as well as of the FAA do not
at all make it clear what information has been provided to the Appellant. The
Respondent should have provided pointwise information to the Appellant and
provide the information/document permissible under the RTI Act. The Commission
therefore direct the Respondent to provide a copy of the complaint/copy of the
written statement and the Enquiry Report and all other information requested for by
the Appellant, if available on record. They must also ensure that the documents
are actually received by the Appellant. The Order of the Commission is to be
complied with within 7 days of receipt of Commission’s order.
With these observations/directions the matter is disposed of accordingly.
