    1) Employment details of the concerned committee was sought such as whether according to the provision
\n       in Regulation and functions of DSGMC, no member of DSGMC or relatives will be employed in the
\n       office of DSGMC, school, institution and Gurdwaras under DSGMC.\n<\/p>\n
    2) Whether any action is taken against those who violate these provisions.\n<\/p>\n
    3) The authority which has the power to take action against the aforementioned people,<\/p>\n
Reply of the Public Information Commissioner:\n<\/p>\n
The proceedings in this regard were stayed by the High Court of Delhi till the final disposal of writ petitions.\n<\/p>\n
Grounds for the First Appeal:\n<\/p>\n
The reply given was not in order as the writ petitions talked about had already been disposed of on 22\/07\/2010.
\nTherefore the plea taken was false.\n<\/p>\n
Order of the First Appellate Authority (FAA):\n<\/p>\n
FAA upheld the reply of PIO without even hearing the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
Grounds for the Second Appeal:\n<\/p>\n
The information sought should be given to the appellant and respondents should be punished.\n<\/p>\n
Relevant Facts emerging during Hearing on 31 December 2010:\n<\/p>\n
The following were present:\n<\/p>\n
Appellant : Mr. Inder Mohan Singh;\n<\/p>\n
Respondent : Mr. H. B. Singh, Public Information Officer ;\n<\/p>\n
        “The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) was held to be a Public Authority by a
\ndecision of this Commission in its decision no. CIC\/SG\/A\/2009\/000226\/4219 dated 22\/07\/2009. The DSGMC
\nhad challenged this decision before the Delhi High Court. The Delhi High Court by its order in WP(C)720\/2010
\n                                                                                                        Page 1 of 4<\/span>
\n had upheld the decision of the Commission on 22\/07\/2010. The Appellant had filed a RTI application seeking
\ninformation as mentioned above on 25\/10\/2010, and the PIO has given false information on 08\/11\/2010 stating
\nthat the High Court of Delhi has stayed the decision of the Commission. The Appellant states that the First
\nAppellate Authority (FAA) during its hearing gave him a letter dated 16\/11\/2010 stating that a LPA was pending
\nbefore the High Court of Delhi. Thus it is clear that there is no stay of the order of the Commission or of the
\norder of the High Court concurring with the CIC that DSGMC is a Public Authority under Section 2(h) of the
\nRTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
The DSGMC has been flouting the law of the land and refusing to operate as per the law. It appears that DSGMC
\nseems to believe that merely by stating that it intends to file a case in the court, they can flout orders given by the
\nstatutory authorities and courts. No individual or institution can disobey order given by statutory authorities or
\ncourts and unless a valid stay order is obtained. This is most unfortunate and the Commission strongly condemns
\nsuch unlawful actions of DSGMC. The Public Authority is denying citizens their fundamental right to
\ninformation by these actions. The Commission sees that the Appellant has been unnecessarily harassed by
\ndenying information and forcing him to file a second appeal before the Commission. This is also putting a
\nburden on the public finances since this Commission is needlessly being called upon to adjudicate in a matter
\nrepeatedly.\n<\/p>\n
Harassment of a common man by public authorities is socially abhorring and legally impermissible. It may harm
\nhim personally but the injury to society is far more grievous. Crime and corruption thrive and prosper in the
\nsociety due to lack of public resistance. Nothing is more damaging than the feeling of helplessness. An ordinary
\ncitizen instead of complaining and fighting succumbs to the pressure of undesirable functioning in offices instead
\nof standing against it. Therefore the award of compensation for harassment by public authorities not only
\ncompensates the individual, satisfies him personally but helps in curing social evil. It may result in improving the
\nwork culture and help in changing the outlook
\nThe Commission under its powers under Section 19(8)(b) of the RTI Act awards a compensation to the
\nAppellant for the loss and detriment suffered by him. The Commission awards a compensation of Rs.1000\/- to
\nbe given to the Appellant.”\n<\/p>\n
Commission’s Decision dated 31 December 2010:\n<\/p>\n
The Appeal was allowed.\n<\/p>\n
       “The PIO is directed to provide the complete information as per the available records to the
\nAppellant before 20 January 2011.\n<\/p>\n
He is also directed to ensure that a cheque of Rs.1000\/- as compensation is sent to the Appellant before 15
\nFebruary 2011.\n<\/p>\n
The issue before the Commission is of not supplying the complete, required information by the PIO within 30
\ndays as required by the law. From the facts before the Commission it appears that the PIO is guilty of not
\nfurnishing information within the time specified under sub-section (1) of Section 7 by not replying within 30
\ndays, as per the requirement of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
It appears that the PIO’s actions attract the penal provisions of Section 20 (1). A showcause notice is being
\nissued to him, and he is directed give his reasons to the Commission to show cause why penalty should not be
\nlevied on him.\n<\/p>\n
He will present himself before the Commission at the above address on 25 January 2011 at 12.00pm alongwith
\nhis written submissions showing cause why penalty should not be imposed on him as mandated under Section 20
\n(1).\n<\/p>\n
He will also bring the information sent to the appellant as per this decision and submit speed post receipt as proof
\nof having sent the information to the appellant.”\n<\/p>\n
                                                                                                          Page 2 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n
 Relevant Facts emerging during the showcause hearing on 25 January 2011:
\nThe following were present:\n<\/p>\n
Appellant : Mr. Inder Mohan Singh;\n<\/p>\n
Respondent : Mr. H. B. Singh, Public Information Officer ;\n<\/p>\n
         The PIO states that he has not provided the information as per the order of the Commission since he has
\nbeen advised by Advocate Mr. Raj Kamal,-who is assisting Mr. K. T. S. Tulsi who is representing DSGMC in
\nDelhi High Court,- not to provide the information. He states that since a LPA is pending with the High Court he
\nwas told that he should not give any written answer to the Commission and also not provide the information. He
\nstates that he informed Mr. Raj Kamal that the Commission had said that unless there was a legally valid stay
\nfrom any High Court, the Commission’s orders have to be implemented. Mr. H. B. Singh, PIO states that he was
\nadvised by Mr. Raj Kamal to wait for the outcome of the fate of the LPA.\n<\/p>\n
The Commission strongly condemns the advice given by an officer of the Court Mr. Raj Kamal to disobey orders
\npassed by a statutory authority. The Commission notes that the PIO Mr. H. B. Singh is acting on the advice of
\nMr. Raj Kamal who appears to have given advice contrary to the law to him. Since Mr. H. B. Singh has offered
\nno reasonable cause for not providing the information to the Appellant the Commission imposes a penalty on
\nhim under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act states, “Where the Central Information Commission or the State Information
\nCommission, as the case may be, at the time of deciding any complaint or appeal is of the opinion that the
\nCentral Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, has, without any
\nreasonable cause, refused to receive an application for information or has not furnished information within the
\ntime specified under sub-section (1) of section 7 or malafidely denied the request for information or knowingly
\ngiven incorrect, incomplete or misleading information or destroyed information which was the subject of the
\nrequest or obstructed in any manner in furnishing the information, it shall impose a penalty of two hundred and
\nfifty rupees each day till application is received or information is furnished, so however, the total amount of such
\npenalty shall not exceed twenty five thousand rupees;\n<\/p>\n
Provided that the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be,
\nshall be given a reasonable opportunity of being heard before any penalty is imposed on him:
\nProvided further that the burden of proving that he acted reasonably and diligently shall be on the Central Public
\nInformation Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be.”
\nA plain reading of Section 20 reveals that there are three circumstances where the Commission must impose
\npenalty:\n<\/p>\n
1)       Refusal to receive an application for information.\n2)       Not furnishing information within the time specified under sub-section (1) of section 7 - 30 days.\n3)       Malafidely denying the request for information or knowingly giving incorrect, incomplete or misleading\n<\/pre>\n
         information or destroying information which was the subject of the request\n<\/p>\n
4)       Obstructing in any manner in furnishing the information.\n<\/p>\n
All the above are prefaced by the infraction, ‘ without reasonable cause’.\n<\/p>\n
Section 19 (5) of the RTI Act has also stated that “In any appeal proceedings, the onus to prove that a denial of a
\nrequest was justified shall be on the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as
\nthe case may be, who denied the request.”\n<\/p>\n
Thus if without reasonable cause, information is not furnished within the time specified under sub-section (1) of
\nsection 7, the Commission is dutybound to levy a penalty at the rate of rupees two hundred and fifty each day till
\nthe information is furnished. Once the Commission decides that there was no reasonable cause for delay, it has
\nto impose the penalty at the rate specified in Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act and the law gives no discretion in the
\nmatter. The burden of proving that denial of information by the PIO was justified and reasonable is clearly on
\nthe PIO as per Section 19(5) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                                                       Page 3 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n
 The RTI application filed on 25\/10\/2010 and hence the information should have been provided to the Appellant
\nbefore 25\/11\/2010. Instead the information has not been provided to the Appellant even now. Since 60 days have
\nalready elapsed the Commission is imposing a penalty on Mr. H. B. Singh, PIO at the rate of `250\/- per day of
\ndelay for 60 days i.e. `250\/- X 60 days = `15000\/-\n<\/p>\n
The Commission issues summons to Mr. Paramjeet Singh Sarna, President, DSGMC
\nand Mr. H. B. Singh, PIO to come with the information and the relevant records to the
\nCommission on 07 February 2011 at 05.00PM.\n<\/p>\n
Decision:\n<\/p>\n
      As per the provisions of Section 20 (1), the Commission finds this a fit case for
\nlevying penalty on Mr. H. B. Singh, PIO. Since the delay in providing the correct
\ninformation has been of 60 days, the Commission is passing an order penalizing Mr. H. B.
\nSingh for Rs.15000\/-.\n<\/p>\n
      The President, of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee is directed to
\nrecover the amount of Rs.15000\/- from the salary of Mr. H. B. Singh and remit the same by
\na demand draft or a Banker’s Cheque in the name of the Pay & Accounts Officer, CAT,
\npayable at New Delhi and send the same to Shri Pankaj K.P. Shreyaskar, Joint Registrar
\nand Deputy Secretary of the Central Information Commission, 2nd Floor, August Kranti
\nBhawan, New Delhi – 110066. The amount may be deducted at the rate of Rs.5000\/ each
\nmonth from the salary of Mr. H. B. Singh and remitted by the 10th of every month starting
\nfrom March 2011. The total amount of Rs.15000 \/- will be remitted by 10th of May, 2011.
\nThis decision is announced in open chamber.\n<\/p>\n
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.\n<\/p>\n
Any 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
