File No.CIC/SM/A/2010/000161
Right to Information Act2005Under Section (19)
Dated: 9 September 2010
Name of the Appellant : Shri A. Sankaranarayanan
S.O.E., Analytical Chemistry Division,
BARC, Trombay, Mumbai - 400 085.
Name of the Public Authority : CPIO, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,
Central Complex, 3rd Floor,
BARC, Trombay,
Mumbai - 400 085.
The Appellant was present in person.
On behalf of the Respondent, Shri Goverdan Rao, CPIO was present.
2. We heard this case through videoconferencing. Both the parties were present
in the Mumbai studio of the NIC. We heard their submissions.
3. The Appellant had wanted to know about the action taken on his letter
regarding the fixation of pay. The CPIO had informed him that the relevant provision of
the ACP scheme did not apply to him and, therefore, he was not eligible for
consideration under that scheme. During the hearing, the Respondent submitted once
again that the Appellant’s representation had been considered and filed because it was
found that he was not eligible under the above scheme. On the other hand, the
Appellant submitted that he was entitled under the scheme and that the authorities had
violated the guidelines of the central government. Obviously, the CIC can do little in
such a case. If the Appellant has a grievance against the decision of the organisation,
he is free to approach any competent authority such as the Central Administrative
Tribunal for the redressal of his grievance. As far as the information desired by him is
concerned, the CPIO has already informed him about the decision of the competent
authority on his representation. There is nothing more we can do in this case. Hence,
the case is disposed off.
4. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
