The RTI application was filed on 25.04.08.      The Appellant requested<br \/>\n     for inspection of files relating to the extension of his period of<br \/>\n     suspension and supply of certified copies of relevant information from<br \/>\n     the files.   The CPIO replied on 16.05.08 stating that the request for<br \/>\n     inspection of files cannot be acceded to under Section 8(1)(h) of the<br \/>\n     RTI Act since it contains references to the P.E. report conducted by Mr.<br \/>\n     Pyare Lal, Sr. Secretary.      He stated further that the P.E. report is<br \/>\n     under examination in the Ministry and that if he so desires, the<br \/>\n     Appellant can have copies of the minutes of the 4th suspension review<br \/>\n     meeting and the decisions of the disciplinary authority.      The CPIO<br \/>\n     followed this up by sending the minutes and the decision of the<br \/>\n     Disciplinary Authority to the Appellant vide his letter dated 26.05.08.<br \/>\n     The Appellant then filed his first appeal before the concerned Appellate<br \/>\n     Authority in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on 30.05.08<br \/>\n     stating that the copies of the documents sent to him by the CPIO<br \/>\n     already contain references to the PE report, the very report because of<br \/>\n     which inspection of files was denied to him. The Appellant reiterated<br \/>\n     his request for inspection of related files and supply of copies of<br \/>\n     relevant documents.     The Appellate Authority (Director (Vig.) replied<br \/>\n      on 26.06.08 stating that he had studied the whole matter and<br \/>\n     observed that the Appellant may inspect the file except the P.E.<br \/>\n     Report\/Background note for the review committee. He denied access<br \/>\n     to the report under Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act. Not satisfied with<br \/>\n     the reply, the Appellant preferred his second appeal before the CIC on<br \/>\n     10.08.08 reiterating his request for supply of information sought in the<br \/>\n     RTI application.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.   The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner,<br \/>\n     scheduled the hearing for November 7, 2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.   Shri A.D. Roy CPIO &amp; Under Secretary, Shri. Vijay Sharma Director I.P.\n<\/p>\n<p>     (vig.), Shri. Thomas Mathani and Shri. A.K. Bhola S.O. (vig) M\/o I&amp;B<br \/>\n     represented the Public Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.   The Appellant, Mr. Prem Matiyani was present in person.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision<\/p>\n<p>5.   The Appellant submitted that he has been under suspension for over<br \/>\n     two years and he pleaded that he be given a chance to prepare for his<br \/>\n     defence in the Court where a Case against him is pending.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.   The Respondents submitted that the P.E. report was denied to the<br \/>\n     Appellant since there is a likelihood of disciplinary action being taken<br \/>\n     against the Appellant based on the report. They, however, admitted<br \/>\n     that although the inquiry conducted by Mr. Pyare Lal, Jt. Secretary in<br \/>\n     the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, was completed several<br \/>\n     months ago, no charge-sheet has been filed in the court against the<br \/>\n     Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.   The Appellant argued that because of the fact that no charge-sheet<br \/>\n     has been filed in the Court against him in this matter within the time<br \/>\n     limit of three months (prescribed by Cabinet Sectt. (Dept. of<br \/>\n       Personnel) Memo No. 39\/39\/40-Ests(A) dated 4th February 1971 on<br \/>\n      the subject of quick disposal of cases of departmental proceedings) he<br \/>\n      is entitled to inspect the file along with the inquiry report.   He also<br \/>\n      stated that more that 7 months have passed since the report has been<br \/>\n      filed and that no action has been taken by the Public Authority on the<br \/>\n      document.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    The Commission heard both the sides and also studied the said report.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The Commission also noted the contents of the Cabinet Sectt. (Dept.<br \/>\n      of Personnel) Memo No. 39\/39\/70-Ests (A) dated 4th February 1971<br \/>\n      and the Deptt. of Personnel &amp; A.R. O.M. no 35014\/1\/81-Ests (A) dated<br \/>\n      9th November 1982,       both of which insist on quick disposal of cases<br \/>\n      and filing of charge-sheet within 3 months of the date of suspension of<br \/>\n      a Government official.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.    Based on the above observations, the Commission holds that since the<br \/>\n      Appellant has been under suspension for more than 7 months and<br \/>\n      since this particular report has been completed and no action taken<br \/>\n      against the Appellant during all these months including filing of charge<br \/>\n      sheet, the Appellant is entitled to inspect the concerned file as<br \/>\n      requested by him, along with the part of the P.E. report of Mr. Pyare<br \/>\n      Lal, not exempted by disclosure under Section 8 (1) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   The Commission directs the CPIO to allow the Appellant to inspect the<br \/>\n      files along with the P.E. report after severing from the P.E. report all<br \/>\n      references to cases against other Officers and to provide certified<br \/>\n      copies of required documents to the Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.   All information to be provided to the Appellant within 15 days of<br \/>\n      receipt of this Order.\n<\/p>\n<p> 12.   The appeal is disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                        (Annapurna Dixit)<br \/>\n                                                Information Commissioner<br \/>\nAuthenticated true copy:\n<\/p>\n<p>(K.G.Nair)<br \/>\nDesignated Officer<\/p>\n<p>1.
