Shri Rajesh Kumar vs Department Of Personnel & … on 8 December, 2008<\/div>\n
                CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION\n               Adjunct to Appeal No. CIC\/WB\/A\/2007\/00976 dated 24-9-2007\n                        Right to Information Act 2005 - Section 19\n\nAppellant:           Shri Rajesh Kumar\nRespondent:          Department of Personnel & Training, (DOPT)\n\n\nFACTS<\/pre>\n
       By an application of 13-2-2007Shri Rajesh Kumar of Rohini, Delhi
\napplied to the Under Secretary, Establishment, DOPT seeking the following
\ninformation:\n<\/p>\n
       “1.     As per O. M. No. 36013\/5\/78-Estt (SCT) dated
\n               19.12.1978 and 36011\/15\/79-Estt (SCT) dated 6.1.1981
\n               and as per O. M. No. 36020\/45\/97-Estt. (Res.) dated
\n               27.9.1999. Kindly clarify whether ST vacancy can be
\n               converted or treated as de-reserved for General Category
\n               and whether promotion can be given to General
\n               Candidate after de-reservation or not.<\/p>\n
       2.      As per Establishment and Administration Chapter 54,
\n               Promotion Part-III Preparatory Action Determination of
\n               Regular Vacancies Para No. 41. As regards vacancies
\n               arising out of deputation only those cases of deputation
\n               for periods exceeding one year should be taken into
\n               Account………. Provided for. Kindly clarify whether the
\n               same rule could also be applied for those officials who
\n               have gone on deputation initially one year and then their
\n               deputation is extended further for 1 year four times in the
\n               same Ministry\/ Department. Whether regular promotion
\n               could be given to other officials against these vacancies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       To this he received a response from Shri A. K. Cashyap, Under
\nSecretary as follows: –\n<\/p>\n
       “(i)    In case of promotion, a vacancy reserved for Scheduled
\n               Tribes can be de-reserved and filled by an other category
\n               candidate (general category candidate) if suitable
\n               Scheduled Tribe candidates are not available for filling up
\n               such vacancy.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       (ii)    Issues raised in clause (2) of Para 1 of your application
\n               concerns Shri A. K. Srivastava, Under Secretary (Estt. D)
\n               and Central Public Information Officer, Department of
\n               Personnel & Training, North Block, New Delhi. A copy of
\n               your application has been forwarded to him for sending
\n               you a suitable reply in the matter.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                          1<\/span><\/p>\n
        Subsequently through a further letter of 30th March after his reminder of
\n23.3.2007 Shri A. K. Srivastava, Under Secretary responded as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
       “Since the matters, as raised by you, elicit answer to your query
\n       and seek the opinion of this public authority, your request is
\n       beyond the scope of RTI Act, and the opinion sought, therefore,
\n       cannot be provided. This also disposes of your letter dated
\n       23.3.2007.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Aggrieved Shri Rajesh Kumar moved his first appeal on 28.6.2007
\nbefore Ms. Smita Kumar, Director, Establishment, DoPT disputing this view
\nand objecting to his being asked to obtain a copy of the CIC ruling from the
\nCVC. Upon this Ms. Smita Kumar in her order of 20.7.2007 responded as
\nfollows:-\n<\/p>\n
       “There are no specific instructions on the queries raised by you,
\n       therefore, I endorse the reply given by CPIO. The CIC decisions
\n       are available on their website; however, a copy (As downloaded)
\n       of decision in D. V. Rao case is also enclosed.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       With the above clarification the appeal was then dismissed which
\nbrought Shri Rajesh Kumar to his second appeal with the following prayer:-\n<\/p>\n
       “Due to Non- supply of information I am suffering from
\n       mental agony and thus delaying my onward proceeding
\n       regarding my grievances with the concerned Authority\/
\n       Department.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       As opinion\/ advice are also permissible under Rule 2 (f) of
\n       RTI Act 2005 and my request is totally different from the
\n       request of dr. D. V. Rao and linking my case with Dr. D. V.
\n       Rao’s is illogical, as the reply given to me is unsatisfactory
\n       and a clear violation of the provision of RTI.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       You are, therefore, humbly requested to take necessary
\n       action and instructed them to supply the requisite
\n       information or Ruling copy at the earliest, as my aim was to
\n       seek the comments\/ opinions whether the vacancy arisen
\n       due to going on deputation of some officials from one
\n       department to another department initially for one year,
\n       extended in succession 4 (Four) time in the same
\n       Department\/ Ministry can be accounted for regular
\n       promotion amongst the eligible candidates.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The appeal was heard on 8-12-08. The following are present.\n<\/p>\n
       Respondents
\n       Ms. Smita Kumar, Director, DoPT.\n<\/p>\n
       Shri A. K. Srivastava, Under Secretary.\n<\/p>\n
                                       2<\/span><\/p>\n
        Although informed of the date of hearing through our notice dated 22-
\n11-2008 appellant Shri Rajesh Kumar opted not to be present.\n<\/p>\n
                               DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n
      The issue here is application of section 2 (f) i.e. definition of information,
\nto the information sought to be provided. Section 2 sub-section (f) reads as
\nfollows:-\n<\/p>\n
       “information” means any material in any form, including records,
\n       documents, memos, e-mails, opinions, advices, press releases,
\n       circulars, orders, logbooks, contracts, reports, papers, samples,
\n       models, data material held in any electronic form and
\n       information relating to any private body which can be accessed
\n       by a public authority under any other law for the time being in
\n       force;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       From the above it will be clear that such information must be held in
\nmaterial form. Moreover, section 2 goes on to clarify the definition of “Right to
\nInformation” in sub-section (j), which reads as follows: –\n<\/p>\n
       (j)    “Right to information” means the right to information
\n              accessible under this Act which is held by or under the
\n              control of any public authority and includes the right to–\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     (i)     inspection of work, documents, records;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     (ii)    taking notes, extracts or certified copies of
\n                             documents or records;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     (iii)   taking certified samples of material;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     (iv)    obtaining information in the form of
\n                             diskettes, floppies, tapes, video cassettes or
\n                             in any other electronic mode or through
\n                             printouts where such information is stored in
\n                             a computer or in any other device;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
       This further expands on the definition of information under section 2 (f)
\nbecause it is clear that only such information can be accessed as is in
\nmaterial form, which can actually be held or controlled by any public authority.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In this case it has been clarified in the order of Ms. Smita Kumar First
\nAppellate Authority and Director (E-1), DOPT that such information does not
\nconstitute part of any material held by the DoPT. She has moreover provided
\na copy of the decision of this Commission on the subject that had earlier been<\/p>\n
                                         3<\/span>
\n cited by the CPIO, but not supplied in response to a subsequent request by
\nappellant.\n<\/p>\n
        For the above reasons we find that the information sought by appellant
\nShri Rajesh Kumar has in fact been provided to the extent admissible in law.
\nThere remains no further cause of action and we therefore find this appeal is
\nunsustainable. The appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
       Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost
\nto the parties.\n<\/p>\n
