ORDER
Background
1. The RTI Application dated 11.6.2010 was filed by the Applicant with the PIO, Prasar Bharti,
Akashwani, New Delhi. He sought miscellaneous information against 16 points related to the Akashwani
Rajbhasha Staff Association. He particularly sought information related to Hindi Officers’ Service matters in
Akashwani including pay upgradation, seniority issues, formation of DPC committee etc. The PIO replied on
12.7.2010 providing point wise information. Not satisfied with this reply the Applicant filed his first appeal on
11.8.2010 commenting on the information that was provided against each point and also stating that the
information is incomplete. The Appellate Authority in his order dated 8.9.2010 stated that he had called for the
records and had examined the points raised in the appeal and accordingly directed the CPIO to recheck the
records and provide the missing information. He also invited the Appellant to his office to inspect the relevant
records on a mutually convenient date. Being aggrieved with this reply, the Appellant filed his second appeal
before the Commission seeking the missing information.
Decision
2. During the hearing the Respondent submitted that information against point 1 is not available in the
records. With regard to point 2 and 3 information has not been received from the concerned office and
against point 4, information about the dealing clerk will be provided. With regard to point 5, he stated that
information sought falls outside the ambit of the RTI Act. With regard to point 9 and 10 it was noted that
information has already been provided.
3. After hearing both parties, the Commission directs the PIO to provide photocopies of the information
available in the records against point 6. Information against point 8 may be provided after collecting
the same from the concerned office. Any other missing information based on the comments given by
the Appellant in his two appeals may also be provided to him. Information to be furnished by 10th
June 2011.
