Reply of PIO:\n<\/p>\n

\nApplications on 27\/07\/2009 and 28\/07\/2009. In response to all the RTI Applications, the
\n same information was given. He stated that the building plans upto 400 sq. yd. of
\nresidential nature are sanctioned for a period of five years. All building plans

\nregisters.\n<\/p>\n
Grounds for First Appeal:\n<\/p>\n
Not enclosed.\n<\/p>\n
Order of the First Appellate Authority:\n<\/p>\n
The First Appeal was heard on 09\/10\/2009 during which the Appellant and the SE were
\npresent. The First Appellate Authority came to the conclusion that incomplete
\ninformation had been provided to the Appellant and the information had not been given
\nquestion-wise. He also observed that the information for all RTI Application was
\nprovided together. He directed the SE, KBZ to give the complete and correct reply to the
\nAppellant in Hindi within 15 working days with intimation to him. The PIO was further
\nadvised not to reply to more than one RTI Application together.\n<\/p>\n
Grounds for Second Appeal:\n<\/p>\n
The Appellant had not received a response after the First Appellate Authority’s order.\n<\/p>\n
Information received after filing of Second Appeal:
\nWith regard to the 19 RTI Applications the PIO’s response:\n<\/p>\n
   i)     The Building department had passed the plan of the mentioned property. The
\n          plan could be accessed after payment of a fee.\n<\/p>\n
   ii)    The files can be physically inspected after due appointment on any working
\n          day.\n<\/p>\n
   iii)   Same as answer to query no1.\n<\/p>\n
   iv)    No complains have been received against the said property since the plan was
\n          passed by the building department.\n<\/p>\n
   v)     The property has not been sealed since the building plan was passed.\n<\/p>\n
   vi)    Same as answer to query no 4.\n<\/p>\n
   vii)   Copy of list of designations and names all officials has been enclosed.\n<\/p>\n
   viii) Same as above.\n<\/p>\n
   ix)    Same as answer to query no1.\n   x)     The Appellant has not provided enough explanation. The total coverage area\n          is as per building plan rule no 14.\n   xi)    Same as answer to query no1.\n   xii)   Same as answer to query no1.\n   xiii) Same as answer to query no 4.\n    xiv)    All the complaints about the mentioned property are not available in\n<\/pre>\n
           consolidated form. The complaints are forwarded to the concerned person
\n           once it is registered in the diary register.\n<\/p>\n
   xv)     Same as answer to query no7 and 8.\n\nDecision:\n<\/pre>\n
The Commission has perused the documents submitted by the Appellant and the
\ninformation received by him after the Second Appeal was filed. It is clear that the
\ninformation sought by the Appellant in his RTI Applications falls within the definition of
\ninformation under Section 2(f) of the RTI Act. The PIO & SE, KBZ has responded to
\nseveral Applications filed by the Appellant vide common replies on 27\/07\/2009 and
\n28\/07\/2009 in which he has offered copies of certain registers to the Appellant on
\nsubmission of additional fees. These copies are meant to answer all queries raised by the
\nAppellant in all his RTI Applications. The First Appellate Authority has observed in his
\norder dated 14\/10\/2009 that the Appellant must be provided the complete and correct
\ninformation within 15 working days. However, no information was provided to the
\nAppellant till 06\/11\/2009. On 06\/11\/2009 the information provided to the Appellant with
\nregard to the 19 RTI Applications, which are a subject matter of this Appeal, the PIO has
\nprovided point-wise information.\n<\/p>\n
The Commission finds this a clear case of non-application of mind by the PIO and all
\nother deemed PIOs who have also signed on the replies initially sent to the Appellant.
\nThe reply given to the Appellant on 27\/07\/2009 and 28\/07\/2009 did not provide any
\nmeaningful information to the Appellant’s queries. This is reaffirmed by the information
\nsubsequently provided to the Appellant. The information provided to the Appellant vide
\nletter dated 06\/11\/2009 should have been provided to the Appellant within 30 days of
\nreceiving the RTI Applications. Furthermore, it appears from the reply given by the PIO
\non 06\/11\/2009 that he is asking the Appellant to pay additional fees even though the reply
\nis not being given within 30 days of receiving the RTI Applications.\n<\/p>\n
The Appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n
Information has been provided except Query No. 1. The PIO is directed to provide a copy
\nof the plan free of cost to the Appellant before 17 January 2010.\n<\/p>\n
From the facts before the Commission it is apparent that the PIO is guilty of not
\nfurnishing complete information to the Appellant within the time limits stipulated in
\nSection 7 (1) of the RTI Act. He has also not obeyed the orders of the First Appellate
\nAuthority, which raises a reasonable doubt that the denial of information may also be
\nmalafide. It appears that the PIO’s actions attract the penal provisions of Section 20 (1).
\nA show cause notice is being issued to him and he will present himself before the
\nCommission at the above address on 22 January 2010 at 4.30 p.m. along with his
\nwritten submissions to show cause why penalty should not be imposed on him as
\nmandated under Section 20 (1). Proof of providing information to the Appellant will be
\nsubmitted to the Commission on 22 January 2010.\n<\/p>\n
 If there are other persons responsible for the delay in providing the correct information to
\nthe Appellant and for not complying with the order of the First Appellate Authority, the
\nPIO is directed to inform such persons of the show cause hearing on 22 January 2010 and
\ndirect them to appear before the Commission on 22 January 2010 along with him.\n<\/p>\n
This decision is announced in open chamber.\n<\/p>\n
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.
\nAny information in compliance with this Order will be provided free of cost as per Section 7(6) of RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                                  Shailesh Gandhi
\n                                                                        Information Commissioner
\n                                                                                24 December 2009<\/p>\n
