Central Information Commission<\/div>\n
Mr.Arun Bhave vs Bhel on 2 November, 2011<\/div>\n
                  CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION\n                             B- Wing, 2nd Floor,\n                  August Kranti Bhavan, Bhikaji Cama Place,\n                             New Delhi - 110066\n\n\n                                              Appeal No.CIC\/SS\/A\/2011\/900879\n\nPARTIES TO THE CASE:\n\nAppellant          :     Shri Arun Bhave\nRespondent         :     Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, New Delhi\nDate of Hearing    :     10\/10\/2011\n\n\n                                      ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
  1. Shri Arun Bhave, the appellant has filed this appeal dated 12.2.2011 before<\/p>\n
     the Commission against the decision of FAA, Bharat Heavy Electircals Ltd.<\/p>\n
     (BHEL) New Delhi for providing unsatisfactory reply to his RTI-request<\/p>\n
     dated 26.7.2010. The matter came up for hearing on 10.10.2011. The<\/p>\n
     appellant was absent, whereas the respondents were represented by Shri S.<\/p>\n
     Satish Rao, Ms. Shreysi Singh, Executive (Law) and Ms. Shilpi Sikka,<\/p>\n
     Executive (Law).\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
  2. The appellant filed an RTI-application dated 26.7.2010 seeking information<\/p>\n
     on five queries relating to rate of increment to Supervisor Trainee,<\/p>\n
     departmental candidate (Artisan-I & II) appointed as Supervisor Trainee<\/p>\n
                                        1<\/span>
\n    against open advertisement and promotion policy from Supervisors to<\/p>\n
   Assistant Engineer. The CPIO vide letter No. AA\/CPIO\/10 dated 30.8.2010<\/p>\n
   informed the on Point Nos. 1 to 4 that the he had sought interpretation and<\/p>\n
   not information and on Point No. 5 the appellant was provided copy of<\/p>\n
   promotion policy of Supervisors to Assistant Engineer.<\/p>\n
3. Aggrieved by the reply of CPIO, the appellant preferred first-appeal dated<\/p>\n
   30.9.2010 before FAA. The FAA, (Appellate Committee) vide order No.<\/p>\n
   AA\/CL\/RTI dated 26.11.2010 upheld the reply of CPIO with the observation<\/p>\n
   that the information sought by the appellant on Point No. 1 to 4 were<\/p>\n
   hypothetical queries and therefore does not fall within the scope of Section<\/p>\n
   2(f) of the RTI Act. On Point No. 5 the CPIO was directed to send a copy of<\/p>\n
   promotion policy to the appellant, if the same has not been sent already.<\/p>\n
4. The Commission has carefully perused through the material placed on<\/p>\n
   record and has heard the Respondent during the hearing. The Commission is<\/p>\n
   of the view that the Appellant has sought specific information through the 5<\/p>\n
   (five) points raised in his RTI Application. The Appellant through Point<\/p>\n
   Nos. 2 to 4 seeks to know the frequency as well as the quantum of respective<\/p>\n
   increments which a departmental candidate (Artisan-I, Nov ’08 or Artisan-II,<\/p>\n
   May ’08 as the case maybe), who is selected for the post of Supervisors<\/p>\n
                                      2<\/span>
\n    Trainee or Junior Supervisors Trainee, as the case maybe, is eligible to<\/p>\n
   receive or supposed to receive and the corresponding rules \/ regulations<\/p>\n
   which govern such a procedure.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
5. Similarly, vide Point No.1 of his RTI Application; the Appellant seeks to<\/p>\n
   know the frequency as well as the quantum of respective increments which a<\/p>\n
   Fresh candidate, who is selected for the post of Supervisors Trainee, is<\/p>\n
   eligible to receive and the corresponding rules \/ regulations governing such a<\/p>\n
   procedure.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
6. The Commission does not find any reason why such information cannot be<\/p>\n
   provided to the Appellant by the CPIO of the Respondent authority. The<\/p>\n
   Appellant has sought such information by being specific and particularly to-<\/p>\n
   the-point in his various queries. There is no doubt that such information in<\/p>\n
   the nature of Rules \/ Regulations governing procedure of increments is<\/p>\n
   ought to be held and maintained by the Respondent authority. Therefore, the<\/p>\n
   Commission directs the concerned CPIO of the Respondent authority to<\/p>\n
   provide clear point-wise information to the Appellant on Point Nos. 1 to 4 of<\/p>\n
   his RTI Application free of cost within 10 days of receipt of this Order.<\/p>\n
7. With respect to Point No.5 of the RTI Application, it is observed that the<\/p>\n
   Appellant had sought the present promotion policy of Supervisors \/ Assistant<\/p>\n
                                      3<\/span>
\n    Engineer working in BHEL. The Appellate Committee, RTI of the<\/p>\n
   Respondent authority vide its Order dated 26\/11\/2010 has already directed<\/p>\n
   the CPIO to send a copy of the said promotion policy to the Appellant and<\/p>\n
   the Commission completely concurs with the said decision. If the copy of<\/p>\n
   the said promotion policy has not been supplied to the Appellant already,<\/p>\n
   then the CPIO of the Respondent authority is hereby directed to provide the<\/p>\n
   copy of the said promotion policy free of cost to the Appellant within 10<\/p>\n
   days of receipt of this Order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
8. Before concluding, the Commission would like to make a brief remark about<\/p>\n
   the practice adopted and followed by the Respondent authority to give effect<\/p>\n
   to the provisions of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
9. As per page 4 of the RTI Charter of the Respondent authority (as available<\/p>\n
   on               its                official          website               –\n<\/p>\n
   https:\/\/www.bhel.com\/rit2005\/pdf\/ContactListRITOfficers%2030.09.pdf),        a<\/p>\n
   committee comprising of 5 (five) officers has been designated as the<\/p>\n
   Appellate Authority as required under Section 19 (1) of the RTI Act. The<\/p>\n
   following two Notes mentioned on the above webpage read as follows:<\/p>\n
                “Note-1: Senior most official shall be deemed as Chairman of the
\n                Appellate Committee.<\/p>\n
                                        4<\/span><\/p>\n
                 Note-2: The appeal to the committee should be addressed to the Member
\n                Secretary, at following address:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                   BHEL, Hose, Siri Fort, New Delhi 110049
\n                               Tel no. 011-66337000\u00c6 (PP) Fax no 011 26493021″\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
10. Section 19 (1) of the RTI Act reads as follows:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                    “19. Appeal – (1) Any person who, does not receive a decision within
\n                the time specified in sub-section (1) or clause (a) of sub-section (3) of
\n                section 7, or is aggrieved by a decision of the Central Public Information
\n                Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, may
\n                within thirty days from the expiry of such period or from the receipt of
\n                such a decision prefer an appeal to such officer who is senior in rank to
\n                the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information
\n                Officer as the case may be, in each public authority:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                       Provided that such officer may admit the appeal after the expiry
\n                       of the period of thirty days if he or she is satisfied that the
\n                       appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the appeal
\n                       in time.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                                                                (EMPHASIS ADDED)<\/p>\n
   A careful reading of the emphasized portion of Section 19 (1) of the RTI Act<\/p>\n
   (supra) clearly shows that the first appellate authority is to comprise of such<\/p>\n
   officer who is senior in rank to the CPIO or the SPIO, as the case maybe.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
   Furthermore, the Proviso makes it clearer that such officer may entertain a<\/p>\n
                                         5<\/span>
\n    first appeal even after the expiry of statutory period of thirty days, if ‘he or<\/p>\n
   she’ is satisfied that a case is made out for granting condonation of delay.<\/p>\n
11. Therefore, technically, the RTI Act envisages a situation where the officer<\/p>\n
   designated as the First Appellate Authority (FAA) has to be senior in rank to<\/p>\n
   the CPIO, the officer must be singular in nature and has to be a natural<\/p>\n
   person (since such officer has to either be a ‘he’ or ‘she’). Section 19 (1) of<\/p>\n
   the RTI Act does not accommodate a legal entity or a juristic entity to be<\/p>\n
   designated as a FAA under the RTI Act. The raison d’\u00eatre behind such<\/p>\n
   conclusion is that the efficiency in discharging its overall functions by any<\/p>\n
   Public authority has to be balanced with the timeliness in providing<\/p>\n
   information to a citizen under Section 6 of the RTI Act. Not adhering to<\/p>\n
   statutory timelines under the RTI Act bears serious consequences and may<\/p>\n
   attract Penalty under Section 20 of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
12. Now, if a group of two or more officers is designated as “the FAA” of any<\/p>\n
   Public Authority, such as by constituting an appellate committee comprising<\/p>\n
   of 5 (five) officers as in the present case, then the overall output of the said<\/p>\n
   Public Authority is likely to suffer and consequently, the efficiency in<\/p>\n
   discharging its regular essential functions may be affected.<\/p>\n
                                       6<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
 13. To ensure that excessive manpower is not allocated to hearing first appeals<\/p>\n
   under the RTI Act, the Legislature has purposely envisaged the appointment<\/p>\n
   a single officer, senior in rank to the CPIO of the concerned Public<\/p>\n
   Authority, to hear and dispose of first appeals arising under the RTI Act.<\/p>\n
   Such is therefore the correct and rightful approach as contained in Section<\/p>\n
   19 (1) of the RTI Act and must be strictly followed by all the Public<\/p>\n
   Authorities.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
14. However, in the instant case, the procedure and practice followed by the<\/p>\n
   BHEL (i.e., the Respondent authority) has been in place for quite sometime<\/p>\n
   and the ‘Appellate Committee, RTI’ as constituted by the BHEL has been<\/p>\n
   readily and timely discharging its duties as the FAA under the RTI Act. In<\/p>\n
   any case, the senior most official of the Committee is the deemed Chairman<\/p>\n
   of the Committee which implies that the technicalities of Section 19 (1) are<\/p>\n
   nearly satisfied. Therefore, in the given circumstances of the case at hand,<\/p>\n
   the Commission does not wish to interfere with the said practice and BHEL<\/p>\n
   may continue to follow the same as long as it is in consonance with the<\/p>\n
   overall object & purpose of the RTI Act, which is to promote transparency<\/p>\n
   and accountability in the working of BHEL.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
15. With the above observations, the present appeal is allowed.<\/p>\n
