FACTS
:
By his letter of 15.01.2009 the appellant had sought information on
03 paras relating to the preparation of the India’s National Action Plan on
Human Rights by the NHRC. Dissatisfied with the information provided
to him, he has filed the present appeal before the Commission.
2. Heard on 04.09.2009, Appellant present. The public authority is
represented by the officers named above.
3. It is the submission of Shri J. K. Srivastava that NHRC has not yet
finalized the India’s National Action Plan and this has been intimated to
the appellant. The appellant, however, would request for the following
information:
i) copy of the page in continuation of NHRC’s note at internal
page No. 12; and
ii) copy of the third line missing at internal page No. 13.
4. Shri Srivastava agrees to provide this information in two weeks
time.
5. In addition to the above, the appellant would submit that he would
like to have copies of the submissions sent by various NGOs to the NHRC
in connection with the finalization of India’s National Action Plan. Sri
Srivastava has certain reservations about it on the ground of this
information being third party information.
DECISION
6. The Commission would suggest that the CPIO may discuss the
matter with the Secretary General of NHRC and take an appropriate
decision in three weeks time and convey the same to the appellant.
7. The matter is disposed of accordingly.
