Central Information Commission, New Delhi
File No.CIC/WB/A/2010/000394SM
Right to Information Act2005Under Section (19)
Date of hearing : 26 August 2011
Date of decision : 26 August 2011
Name of the Appellant : Shri Manak Singh Gopaliya
148, Arya Nagar,
Alwar, Rajasthan.
Name of the Public Authority : CPIO, Supreme Court of India,
New Delhi.
The Appellant was present along with Shri Rajkumar.
On behalf of the Respondent, the following were present:
(i) Ms. Priyanka Telang, Advocate,
(ii) Smt. Asha Ahuja, Br. Officer,
(iii) Shri Devadatt Kamat, Advocate
Chief Information Commissioner : Shri Satyananda Mishra
2. Both the parties were present during the hearing. We heard their
submissions.
3. The Appellant had wanted to know the basis for the Supreme Court
passing a certain order in the SLP number 6214/2006. The CPIO informed him
about the availability of this order in the website of the Supreme Court. He also
CIC/WB/A/2010/000394SM
informed him that it was not his duty under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to
interpret any law or judgement of the Supreme Court. The Appellate Authority
had endorsed the decision of the CPIO.
4. The Appellant submitted that he was not satisfied with the order passed
by the Supreme Court in a particular matter. Obviously, neither the CPIO nor
the first Appellate Authority as well as the CIC can do very little in this matter. If
there is any other remedy, he will have to find that out from any legal
consultant. As far as his request under the Right to Information (RTI) Act is
concerned, it has been rightly disposed of between the CPIO and the Appellate
Authority. We have no reasons to interfere with their decisions.
5. The appeal is disposed off accordingly.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
