NARAYAN LAL KARN\n\n\nName of the Public Authority               :   NORTEAST FRONTIER RAILWAY\n\nBackground<\/pre>\n<p>1.    The Applicant filed his RTI request on 01.04.08 with Dy. GM(G) cum PIO, NF Rly,<br \/>\n      Maligaon stating that some records prepared by then CVI (T)\/HQ after a decoy check<br \/>\n      on 30.12.96 at Guwahati Rly Station, indicated that Rs.13\/- were found extra with him<br \/>\n      and confiscated that amount.    According to the Applicant, the CVI(T)\/HQ must had<br \/>\n      followed the instruction of rule 2429 (a) of IRCM, and remitted that confiscated<br \/>\n      amount Rs.13\/- to railway cash office. He       added that a case had been initiated<br \/>\n      against him vide DCM\/LMG&#8217;s SF\/5 dated 15.01.98. He requested for a photo copy of<br \/>\n      the record of cash remittance of Rs.13. The PIO replied on 19.05.08 enclosing the<br \/>\n      reply received from the concerned department dated 06.05.08. In this letter Dy.<br \/>\n      CVO\/T stated that the DAR case in connection with the Applicant the then Hd.TC\/GHY<br \/>\n      was carefully studied and it was found that he showed Rs.13\/- excess in his private<br \/>\n      cash during check on 30.12.1996. The excess cash Rs.13\/- was not taken over by<br \/>\n      Vigilance team from the Applicant by the then Hd. TC\/GHY on 30.12.96. Being<br \/>\n      aggrieved with the reply, the Applicant filed his First Appeal on 27.06.08 requesting<br \/>\n      for the information and insisting that penalty be imposed upon the PIO. The Appellate<br \/>\n      Authority on 04.07.07 informed the Applicant that there is no such power bestowed<br \/>\n      upon the First Appellate Authority in terms of Section 19 of the RTI Act, 2005 to<br \/>\n      penalize any one for deviation from defined provisions of the RTI Act, 2005. Being still<br \/>\n      aggrieved with the reply, the Applicant filed his Second Appeal on 19.12.08 before the<br \/>\n      Commission stating that on 30.12.96 the Appellant as a commercial staff in the<br \/>\n      capacity of Head Ticket Collector performed duty from 2 PM at Guwahati Railway<br \/>\n      Station counter No.10. By about 4 PM a gentleman introduced himself as the Zonal<br \/>\n      Railway   Users   and   Consumers   Committee    (ZRUCC)    member    and   sought   for<br \/>\n      accommodation in Air Condition retiring room, and had informed him that he would<br \/>\n      send the amount through the caretaker after going to the room. The ZRUCC members<br \/>\n      being a   VIP, the Applicant had immediately issued a slip to the care taker of AC<br \/>\n      retiring room to accommodate this VIP. There after the Applicant remained busy with<br \/>\n      other passengers. After some time caretaker of the retiring room Mr. Poddar came to<br \/>\n      the Applicant with an instruction and money from the          ZRUCC member. Money<br \/>\n      consisted currency notes, one Rs.50\/- one Rs.20\/- and loose Rs.3\/- (a total of Rs.73\/),<br \/>\n      with the instruction to issue receipt for AC retiring room for Rs.60\/- and to spend the<br \/>\n       rest Rs.13\/- to serve him tea &amp; snacks. The Applicant added that soon after the<br \/>\n      caretaker departed from the counter with the receipt, suddenly he was accosted by a<br \/>\n      team of civil clad RPF and vigilance personnel headed by then CVI(T)\/HQ, who<br \/>\n      confiscated all the cash belonging to him   and also   at the counter. The amount of<br \/>\n      Rs.13\/- naturally was not shown in the records as he had still to go and get the tea<br \/>\n      and snacks. The Applicant stated that the CVI\/T paid no heed to his submission and<br \/>\n      while declaring Rs.13\/- as extra cash found during his check, promptly documented it<br \/>\n      in his self prepared &#8220;cash declaration slip&#8221; and Post Check Memorandum&#8221; and made<br \/>\n      him(the Applicant) sign the same under coercion. At that point of time Mr. Poddar the<br \/>\n      caretaker appeared on the scene and conveyed the displeasure of ZRUCC member.<br \/>\n      The CVI(T) who got scared immediately returned         Rs.13\/- to Mr.Poddar, and also<br \/>\n      Rs.807\/- to him along with all the seized records so that he can continue his duty.<br \/>\n      The Applicant stated that he had no knowledge that the check organized and<br \/>\n      conducted by CVI(T) was a &#8220;Decoy Check&#8221;. He also did not deposit any cash (Rs.13\/-)<br \/>\n      in the cash office, which is statutory obligation under Rule 2429(a) of IRCM. The<br \/>\n      Occupation register of the retiring room was replaced the next day for the new year to<br \/>\n      commence from 01.01.97. The Applicant further added that assuming that there was<br \/>\n      nothing to worry about, he did not take down the name and address of the ZRUCC<br \/>\n      member. After 4 weeks, by which time the old occupation register of retiring room<br \/>\n      was destroyed, he was suddenly placed under suspension from        27.01.97, and was<br \/>\n      asked to submit his statement about the check conducted by CVI(T) on 30.12.96. The<br \/>\n      Applicant further submitted that the suspension was revoked on 05.02.97. Thereafter<br \/>\n      no further reference was made about the incident to him throughout the year 1997.<br \/>\n      For reasons not known, a major memorandum (SF\/5) was framed after an year on<br \/>\n      15.01.98 and served to him. In the process, a preliminary enquiry was held after 3<br \/>\n      years on 21.01.2000. The enquiry Officer admitted the relevance of care taker Mr.<br \/>\n      Poddar as his defence witness, since transaction of money with ZRUCC member was<br \/>\n      done by the him. Further enquiry commenced again after one year, after the death of<br \/>\n      defense witness Mr. Poddar by a changed Enquiry Officer from 15.02.01.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner scheduled the<br \/>\n      hearing for 5th February, 2010 through video conferencing.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    Mr. Khindu Ram, PIO and Mr. Alok Dave, Appellate Authority representing the Public<br \/>\n      Authority were present at NIC studio, Guwahati.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    The Appellant was not present during the hearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    The Respondent submitted that the Appellant was found in possession of Rs.13\/- in<br \/>\n      excess to his private cash during the decoy check and that the Appellant insists that<br \/>\n      the   cash was not returned to him and that it must       have been deposited by the<br \/>\n      Vigilance officer and is seekng the receipt of deposit of the cash. He also stated that<br \/>\n        the Appellant was suspended after complete enquiry and as per rules. According to the<br \/>\n       Respondent, there is no record in the dealing file of Rs.13\/- having been taken from<br \/>\n       the Appellant or deposited any where by the Vigilance officer. Hence no receipt as<br \/>\n       sought by the Appellant can be furnished to him. The        Commission, however, has<br \/>\n       decided to allow the Appellant to inspect relevant files for the information and directs<br \/>\n       the PIO to provide the photocopy of the receipt if it exists in any one of them. The<br \/>\n       inspection to be completed by 10th March. 2010.\n<\/p>\n<pre>6      The appeal is accordingly disposed off\n                                                                            (Annapurna Dixit)\n                                                                    Information Commissioner\nAuthenticated true copy:\n\n\n(G.
