Further, the reply of the application dated\n30\/11\/2009 has also been given by the CPIO well before the time.\"\n\nGrounds for Second Appeal:\nAppellant is not satisfied with the FAA's order.\n\nRelevant Facts<\/pre>\n<p> emerging during Hearing:\n<\/p>\n<p>The following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Appellant: Mr. Mahesh Kumar Gupta;\n<\/p>\n<p>Respondent: Mr. G. R. Samantaray, Public Information Officer &amp; Dy. Registrar;\n<\/p>\n<p>              Mr. Shyam Singh Chhokar, Advocate (NIT Kurukshetra);\n<\/p>\n<p>The Appellant has moved this RTI application claiming that since he was likely to be suspended<br \/>\nthe information should be provided within 48 hours as per the provisions of Section 7(1) of the<br \/>\nRTI Act. The possibility of suspension to service is certainly cannot be considered as a matter<br \/>\naffecting life and liberty and applicants must use this provision with responsibility.\n<\/p>\n<p>                Proviso of Section 7(1) states that where the information sought concerns the life<br \/>\nor liberty of a person, the same shall be provided within forty-eight hours of the receipt of the<br \/>\nrequest. This provision has to be applied only in exceptional cases and the norm is that<br \/>\ninformation should be provided within thirty days from the receiving date. Whether the<br \/>\ninformation sought concerns the life or liberty of a person has to be carefully scrutinized and<br \/>\nonly in a very limited number of cases this ground can be relied upon. The government<br \/>\nmachinery is not designed in a way that responses to all RTI Applications can be given within<br \/>\nforty-eight hours. A broad interpretation of &#8216;life or liberty&#8217; would result in a substantial diversion<br \/>\nof manpower and resources towards replying to RTI Applications which would be unjustified.<br \/>\nParliament has made a very special exception for cases involving &#8216;life or liberty&#8217; so that it would<br \/>\nbe used only when an imminent threat to life or liberty is involved.\n<\/p>\n<p>        The life or liberty provision can be applied only in cases where there is an imminent<br \/>\ndanger to the life or liberty of a person and the non-supply of the information may either lead to<br \/>\ndeath or grievous injury to the concerned person. Liberty of a person is threatened if she or he is<br \/>\ngoing to be incarcerated or has already been incarcerated and the disclosure of the information<br \/>\nmay change that situation. If the disclosure of the information would obviate the danger then it<br \/>\nmay be considered under the proviso of Section 7(1). The imminent danger has to be<br \/>\ndemonstrably proven. The Commission is well aware of the fact that when a citizen exercises his<br \/>\nor her fundamental right to information, the information disclosed may assist him or her to lead a<br \/>\nbetter life. But in all such cases, the proviso of Section 7(1) cannot be invoked unless imminent<br \/>\ndanger to life or liberty can be proven.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Commission decides that a matter of imminent suspension cannot be considered as a thread<br \/>\nto life and liberty.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PIO has on 16\/12\/2009 informed the Appellant that the information is not available. What<br \/>\nwas sought was communications between officers within the Institute and the Chairman of Board<br \/>\nof Governors. It is very peculiar plea to take that communications amongst officers of the<br \/>\nInstitution and with the Chairman of Board of Governors are not available in the Institute. The<br \/>\nPIO has shown the Commission evidence that he had sought the assistance of Registrar and<br \/>\nEstablishment Section. The PIO shows that both of these claimed that information was not with<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                   Page 2 of 3<\/span><br \/>\n them. On questioning the Respondent closely about the secret of where these documents could<br \/>\nhave been they admitted that documents relating to query -1 &amp; 2 were received by them on<br \/>\n11\/02\/2010 from the office of the Registrar. The PIO claims that in December when he gave the<br \/>\nstatement that the records were not available, the documents were with the Chairman of Board of<br \/>\nGovernors. The Appellant points out that the meeting of the Board of Governor was held on<br \/>\n29\/12\/2009 when this matter was discussed. Hence he contends that when the First Appellate<br \/>\nAuthority gave the decision on 01\/01\/2010 the documents which he had sought had been<br \/>\ndiscussed in the meeting of Board of Governors. It appears that very peculiar claim has been<br \/>\nmade that papers with the Chairman of Board of Governors are not available in the Institute and<br \/>\nhence cannot be provided. The Institute must improve its system to ensure that such half truths<br \/>\nare not offered. The Appellant has also shown that the front side of page 68 has been given to<br \/>\nhim and the printing on the rear side or the next page has been missed. The PIO is directed to<br \/>\nprovide this to the Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PIO has taken the same plea which he had taken earlier for query-4 &amp; 5 that no records are<br \/>\navailable. It is entirely possible going by his admission about the misleading reply given on<br \/>\nquery-1 &amp; 2 earlier that the records may be available with the Director or the Chairman of Board<br \/>\nof Governors. In view of this the PIO is directed to send a letter to the Director, Chairman of the<br \/>\nBoard of Governors and all heads of Department and the Registrar asking them to provide him<br \/>\ncopies of any official correspondence between the Director and Chairman, Board of Governors<br \/>\nor Registrar and Chairman Board of Governors during the period 12\/10\/2009 to 30\/11\/2009. If<br \/>\nany of these surfaced these should be send to the Appellant. The PIO states that he understood<br \/>\nthe query as being related to the matter relating to query-1 &amp; 2. He is directed to ensure that any<br \/>\ncommunication between the functionaries mentioned during that period of any subject shall be<br \/>\nprovided to the Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>The appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The PIO is directed to give the information as directed above to the Appellant before<br \/>\n30 March 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>This decision is announced in open chamber.\n<\/p>\n<p>Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>Any information in compliance with this Order will be provided free of cost as per Section 7(6) of RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                Shailesh Gandhi<br \/>\n                                                                                      Information Commissioner<br \/>\n                                                                                                 12 March 2010<br \/>\n(In any correspondence on this decision, mention the complete decision number.)(AK)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                      Page 3 of 3<\/span>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Information Commission Mr. Mahesh Kumar Gupta vs National Institute Of Technology on 12 March, 2010 CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION Club Building, Opposite Ber Sarai Market, Old JNU Campus, New Delhi &#8211; 110067.
