Kapashera, New Delhi on 08\/05\/2007 asking for certain information. Since<br \/>\nno reply was received within the mandated time of 30 days, he had filed a complaint under<br \/>\nSection 18 to the Commission. The Commission issued a notice to the PIO on 10\/11\/2008<br \/>\nasking him to supply the information and sought an explanation for not furnishing the<br \/>\ninformation within the mandated time.\n<\/p>\n<p> The Commission has neither received a copy of the information sent to the complainant, nor<br \/>\nhas it received any explanation from the PIO for not supplying the information to the<br \/>\ncomplainant. Therefore, the only presumption that can be derived is that the PIO has<br \/>\ndeliberately and without any reasonable cause refused to give information as per the<br \/>\nprovisions of the RTI Act. His failure to respond to the Commission&#8217;s notice shows that he<br \/>\nhas no reasons for the refusal of information.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>The Complaint is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PIO will send the complete information to the complainant before January 5, 2009. The<br \/>\nPIO&#8217;s action clearly amounts to denial of information without any reasons. The PIO is<br \/>\ntherefore, asked to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed and disciplinary<br \/>\naction be recommended against him under Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act. He will present<br \/>\nhimself before the Commission at the above address on January 15, 2009 at 9:30 am along<br \/>\nwith his written submissions.\n<\/p>\n<p>Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                         Shailesh Gandhi<br \/>\n                                                                  Information Commissioner<br \/>\n                                                                       15th December, 2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>     (In any correspondence on this decision, mention the complete decision number)\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Information Commission Mr. Shyam Vir Singh vs Office Of The Deputy Commissioner on 15 December, 2008 CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION Room no.415, 4th Floor, Block IV, Old JNU Campus, New Delhi 110066.
