After the completion of the investigation, the<br \/>\n         charge sheet of the case u\/s 420\/406\/409, 468\/471\/467-A\/120-B<br \/>\n         IPC was filed in the Court of Shri Sunil Choudhary, MM (now Sh. D.<br \/>\n         K. Sharma, MM), Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. Copy of the<br \/>\n         charge-sheets has already been provided to you being the accused<br \/>\n         in this case. The Ld. MM has taken the cognizance of the case.<br \/>\n         You have also filed a petition vide Crl. M. 2465\/2003 in Cr. M. (M)<br \/>\n         911\/2003 in the Hon&#8217;ble High Court of Delhi for the quashing of FIR<br \/>\n         where next date of hearing has been fixed for 7.12.2007.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         Since the 526 queries, replies of which have been sought by you<br \/>\n         through the instant application under the RTI Act pertain to pre-<br \/>\n         registration investigation, post-registration investigation and trial of<br \/>\n         the case FIR No. 90\/2000 PS Connaught Place, the same cannot<br \/>\n         be provided being exempted u\/s 8(1) (h) of the RTI Act as it would<br \/>\n         impede the process of prosecution in the trial court and adversely<br \/>\n         effect the outcome of above mentioned writ petitions. The queries<br \/>\n         raised by you, in fact, should be raised during the Trial of the above<br \/>\n         mentioned case and RTI is not the appropriate forum for the same.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               1<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       Aggrieved by this Decision, Shri Gupta moved an appeal before the Addl.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>CP, EOW dated 27.11.07 pleading as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;There is nothing in those questions, which would impede (repeat<br \/>\n      impede) the process of prosecution as those are part of the<br \/>\n      investigation being integral part of the process of framing he charge<br \/>\n      sheet already filed. It must be appreciated only that information<br \/>\n      which would impede the process as per the said clause can be<br \/>\n      withheld. The prosecution in the court can only be on the basis of<br \/>\n      charge sheet framed after enquiries and on which not only the court<br \/>\n      but the prosecutor also relies. All such enquiries necessarily have<br \/>\n      to be part of the charge sheet and if something has been left out in<br \/>\n      the charge sheet then the IO is duty bound to bring on record for a<br \/>\n      fair trial. However, if some enquiries have been withheld in the<br \/>\n      charge sheet and exposure of the same now may vitiate the<br \/>\n      charges already framed then definitely the same has to be<br \/>\n      considered delinquent of the IO for the reasons to be ascertained<br \/>\n      by his superiors. Replies to such questions cannot under any<br \/>\n      circumstances, will impede the said process as mentioned u\/s 8(1)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (h) of the Act.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      Since the information sought is not covered under any specific<br \/>\n      exemption given in the section 8 of the RTI Act, the applicant being<br \/>\n      aggrieved by the said order, this appeal u\/s 19(1) is being preferred<br \/>\n      by the applicant to your good self.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      Shri S. K. Gupta also cited the decision of this Commission in<br \/>\nCIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00074     of   28.2.07   Mrs.   Gurinder    Kaur    Gill   vs.   Dy.<br \/>\nCommissioner of Police (EOW) Delhi. However, in a decision of 24.12.07 Shri<br \/>\nS. B. K. Singh, Addl. Commissioner of Police, EOW directed somewhat<br \/>\nsummarily as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;I fully agree with the reply of PIO conveyed to you vide No.<br \/>\n      6728\/SO\/DCP\/EOW dated 22.11.07. It is also exempted under<br \/>\n      Sec. 8(1) (h) of RTI Act.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      This is despite the fact that in an earlier decision of 7.12.07 on cases<br \/>\nrelating to three FIRs one of which is 19\/2000 PS Connaught Place, a copy of<br \/>\nwhich has been submitted by appellant Shri Gupta along with his 2nd appeal the<br \/>\nsame Shri S. B. K. Singh had directed as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;The documents and the information, which do not disclose the<br \/>\n      identity of source of information, should be provided by the PIO.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       2<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       Each &amp; every question should be specifically answered and<br \/>\n      reasons for not providing should be mentioned against each<br \/>\n      question. The case diaries &amp; its details &amp; the documents in the<br \/>\n      police file which are privileged documents cannot be provided as it<br \/>\n      may impede the prosecution. The PIO is directed to re-examine<br \/>\n      the matter and reply on the above lines.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      This then became the issue in the second appeal before us in which Shri<br \/>\nGupta has prayed as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;Since the information sought is not covered under any<br \/>\n      specific exemption given in the section 8 of the RTI Act, the<br \/>\n      applicant being aggrieved by the said order, this appeal u\/s<br \/>\n      19(3) is being preferred by the applicant to your good self.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      It has been explained to the applicant that his appeal is<br \/>\n      squarely covered by the decision of the CIC in the case of Mrs.<br \/>\n      Gurinder Kaur Gill vs. DCP (EOW) Delhi in appeal no.<br \/>\n      CIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00074 dated 2.8.07. And is also covered by the<br \/>\n      Judgment of the Delhi High Court in WP(C ) No. 3114\/2007 in<br \/>\n      the case of Bhagat Singh vs. Chief Information Commissioner<br \/>\n      and Others.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The appeal was heard on 13.7.2009. The following are present:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      Appellant<br \/>\n            Shri P. K. Dhingra (representing Sh. S.P.Gupta)<br \/>\n      Respondents<br \/>\n            Shri T. P. Singh, ACP \/ EOW<br \/>\n            Shri Udham Singh, Inspr. EOW<br \/>\n            Sh. M. K. Mishra, S.I. \/ EOW<br \/>\n            Sh. Sudhir Kumar, SI \/ EOW<\/p>\n<p>      Shri P. K. Dhingra submitted a Power of Attorney dated 10.7.09 from Shri<br \/>\nS. P. Gupta authorizing Shri P. K. Dhingra, Chartered Accountant to represent<br \/>\nShri Gupta before this Commission. This document has been placed on record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      Shri T. P. Singh, ACP, EOW submitted that there was no contradiction<br \/>\nbetween the orders of Appellate Authority of 7.12.07 and 24.12.07 with the latter<br \/>\nhaving been arrived at on the basis of compliance with the orders of 7.12.07 and<br \/>\narising from examination of information sought therein. He also submitted that all<br \/>\ncopies of material relied upon by the prosecution in the present case have been<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        3<\/span><br \/>\n provided to appellant Shri Gupta together with the charge-sheet. With regard to<br \/>\nappellant Shri S. P. Gupta three charge-sheets have been filed including in the<br \/>\ncase of FIR 19\/2000 PS Connaught Place and the fourth is under investigation.<br \/>\nMoreover, whereas the information sought by appellant Sh. Gupta through all<br \/>\n526 questions seeks an affirmation or negation he is now asking also for certain<br \/>\ndocuments.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Shri P. K. Dhingra representing Shri Gupta submitted that what he is<br \/>\nseeking is documents that would enable him to defend his case listed in the<br \/>\ncharge-sheet, which in his view is without merit.\n<\/p>\n<p>                               DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n<p>     As we have mentioned above, the decision of Appellate Authority Shri S. B.<br \/>\nK. Singh, Addl. CP (EOW) is not a reasoned order and decidedly summary.<br \/>\nAlthough ACP would have us believe that the issues raised by appellant have as<br \/>\na mater of fact been considered, the order not being a speaking order does not<br \/>\nbear this out. ACP Shri T. P. Singh has also submitted that the orders of Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nRavinder Bhat J. in Bhagat Singh vs. CIC in WPC No.3114\/2007, the definitive<br \/>\nruling on the application of Sec 8(1) (h) have been issued subsequent to the<br \/>\nreply given by PIO to appellant Shri Gupta.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Taking into account all the above contentions, we come to the conclusion<br \/>\nthat the order of Appellate Authority Shri S. B. K. Singh does not reflect any<br \/>\nconsideration by him of the above issues. Moreover, if the case has now been<br \/>\ncharge-sheeted and is under prosecution, much of the information sought by<br \/>\nappellant will also now be the property of the Court even though it may be<br \/>\nphysically held by DCP EOW. In such case access to such information will have<br \/>\nto be provided by the public authority holding the information which in this case<br \/>\nwould be the trial court to which the questions require to be transferred. Under<br \/>\nthe circumstances the order of 24.12.07 of Shri S. B. K. Singh, Appellate<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         4<\/span><br \/>\n Authority and Addl. Commissioner of Police is set aside. Shri S. B. K. Singh<br \/>\nwill now consider the matter afresh after giving appellant Shri S. P. Gupta<br \/>\nan opportunity to be heard and arrive at a decision within fifteen working<br \/>\ndays of the date of issue of this Decision Notice passing a speaking order<br \/>\nin which all the issues discussed above will be considered and decided upon.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost to<br \/>\nthe parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Wajahat Habibullah)<br \/>\nChief Information Commissioner<br \/>\n13.7.2009<\/p>\n<p>Authenticated true copy.
