The mere setting up of enquiry tribunal cannot be a ground for denial of<br \/>\ninformation since there is no provision in law exempting such information. Refusal to give<br \/>\ninformation can only be on the basis of exemption under Section 8(1).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Commissions&#8217; Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PIO is directed to give the complete information point wise to the Appellant before 10<br \/>\nNovember 2009. He will also give a copy of the report of the tribunal and file notings sought in<br \/>\nthe original RTI application to the Appellant.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                 Page no. 2 of 4<br \/>\n Facts leading to Showcause:\n<\/p>\n<p>The issue before the Commission was of not supplying the complete, required information by the<br \/>\nPIO within 30 days as required by the law. From the facts before the Commission it appeared<br \/>\nthat the PIO Mr. Madhukar Rao was guilty of not furnishing information within the time<br \/>\nspecified under sub-section (1)of Section 7 by not replying within 30 days, as per the<br \/>\nrequirement of the RTI Act. Hence a showcause notice was issued to him, and he was directed<br \/>\ngive his reasons to the Commission to show cause why penalty should not be levied on him on<br \/>\n27 November 2009 at 11.30am alongwith his written submissions showing cause why penalty<br \/>\nshould not be imposed on him as mandated under Section 20 (1).\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant Facts emerging during Showcause Hearing on 27 November 2009:<br \/>\nThe following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Appellant : Mr. Subhash Chandra Agrawal;\n<\/p>\n<p>Respondent : Mr. Madhukar Rao, PIO &amp; Librarian;\n<\/p>\n<p>       The PIO states that he does not know the law and therefore rejected the RTI application<br \/>\non 17\/06\/2009 without any basis in the law. The Appellant states that the information has been<br \/>\nreceived by him after the order of the Commission. The Appellant states he is satisfied with the<br \/>\ninformation.\n<\/p>\n<p>        The PIO is asked to given reasons for not supplying the information earlier and refusing<br \/>\nto provide the information without any basis in law. In his written submission the PIO has at<br \/>\npoint-11 stated that, &#8220;the keeping in view of the gravity of the issues, it was not found<br \/>\nappropriate as it would impede the process of investigation, which was under investigation by<br \/>\nthe inquiry tribunal as aforesaid. Moreover, at that point of time, the PIO was not in a position to<br \/>\nfurnish the information sought by the applicant. Therefore, the PIO exercised his power under<br \/>\nclause (h) of Section 8 of RTI Act and had given a reply dated 17.06.2009 stating therein that the<br \/>\ninformation sought is under investigation by the impartial inquiry tribunal&#8230;&#8221; The PIO was<br \/>\nasked to justify how he has suddenly woken up to the possibility of an exemption being quoted<br \/>\non 26\/11\/2009. Initially the PIO had offered no reasons for denying the information. The PIO<br \/>\nwas asked to justify even at this late date how realizing the information would impede the<br \/>\nprocess of investigating. He states that the Appellant could have leaked the information to others.<br \/>\nThe PIO was again asked how even if the entire country knew about this information, how this<br \/>\nwould impede the process of investigation. The PIO is not able to give any justification for this<br \/>\nposition and it is evident that he had initially denied this information and had not thought any<br \/>\nreasons under the RTI Act by which the denial could be justified. It is unfortunate that the FAA<br \/>\nMr. Yashpal Arya has given a vey poor order without any application of mind and without<br \/>\nordering the information to be given.\n<\/p>\n<p>       In view of the above the PIO has offered no reasonable cause for refusing the<br \/>\ninformation. The Commission finds this as a fit case of levying penalty under Section 20(1) of<br \/>\nthe RTI Act. Since the RTI application was made on 27\/05\/2009 information should have been<br \/>\nprovide before 27\/06\/2009. Instead the information has been provided on 04\/11\/2009. Since the<br \/>\ndelay in providing the information has been over 100 days the Commission levies a maximum<br \/>\npenalty of Rs.25000\/- under the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>       As per the provisions of Section 20 (1), the Commission finds this a fit case for levying<br \/>\npenalty on Mr. Madhukar Rao, PIO &amp; Librarian. Since the delay in providing the correct<br \/>\ninformation has been over 100 days, the Commission is passing an order penalizing Mr.<br \/>\nMadhukar Rao for Rs. 25000\/ which is the maximum penalty under the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                    Page no. 3 of 4<br \/>\n        The President, of the Hardayal Municipal Public Library to recover the amount of<br \/>\nRs.25000\/- from the salary of Mr. Madhukar Rao and remit the same by a demand draft or a<br \/>\nBanker&#8217;s Cheque in the name of the Pay &amp; Accounts Officer, CAT, payable at New Delhi and<br \/>\nsend the same to Shri Pankaj K.P.

The<br \/>\namount may be deducted at the rate of Rs.5000\/ per month every month from the salary of Mr.<br \/>\nMadhukar Rao and remitted by the 10th of every month starting from January 2009.
