362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15                    1\n\n\n                      CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION\n              Room No.308, B wing, August Kranti Bhawan, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi-110066\n\n\n                           Appeal No. CIC\/OK\/A\/2007\/00362\/LS\n\nAppellant:                                           Shri Subhash Chandra\n\nPublic Authority:                                    Delhi Development Authority\n\nDate of Hearing:                                     12th and 27th August, 2009\n\nDate of Decision:                                    27\/08\/2009\n\nFACTS<\/pre>\n
:-\n<\/p>\n
       The background of the matter is that this Commission vide its decision
\ndated 16\/07\/2007, had awarded a compensation of Rs.50,000\/- to Appellant Shri
\nSubhash Chandra under the provisions of RTI Act<\/a>. The operative para of the
\norder is reproduced here-below:-\n<\/p>\n
         “10. The Commission would like to add a word of appreciation for
\n         the Deputy Director(Land), Shri S.P. Bhardwaj, who went to the
\n         greatest length to locate the file. However, it deeply sympathises
\n         with the Appellant who for years went through a period of great
\n         anxiety and uncertainty because of the callousness of the
\n         Department. Although, perhaps, no amount of financial
\n         compensation could be considered enough for putting a citizen
\n         through such mental torture, the Commission directs the
\n         Respondents to pay Rs.50,000\/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) as a
\n         token compensation to him. This must be done by 31 July, 2007.
\n         The Commission actually feels that this amount should be recovered
\n         from the persons who have handled the file so casually. However, it
\n         leaves it to the public authority to decide where this amount should
\n         come from.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
2.     Aggrieved with the aforesaid order, DDA had filed Writ Petition (Civil)
\n5563\/2007, before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court.        The Hon’ble Delhi High
\nCourt, vide order dated 06\/07\/2009 has remanded the matter back to Central
\nInformation Commission with the direction to the parties or their representatives
\nto appear before this Commission on 10th of August, 2009. The operative paras
\nof the order are extracted below:-\n<\/p>\n
 362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15           2<\/span><\/p>\n
         “7.    The impugned order does not state and refer to the provision
\n         under which compensation of Rs.50,000\/- has been awarded.
\n         Before awarding any penalty under Section 20<\/a> of the Right to
\n         Information Act<\/a>, 2005, reasonable opportunity has to be given to the
\n         Public Information Officer. Further, the maximum penalty, which
\n         can be imposed is Rs.25,000\/-.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         8.     The respondent No.2 in his reply, on the other hand, has
\n         alleged that compensation of Rs.50,000\/- has been awarded under
\n         Section 19(8)(b)<\/a> of the Right to Information Act<\/a>, 2005. The
\n         impugned order does not state so. Further, under Section 19(8)(b)<\/a>,
\n         compensation can be awarded for the loss or detriment suffered for
\n         failure to comply with the provisions of the Right to Information
\n         Act<\/a>, 2005 and the same should be relatable to the loss or damage
\n         suffered by the applicant on the said account. The loss and detriment
\n         suffered must be on account of application made under the Right to
\n         Information Act<\/a> and failure of the respondents to supply
\n         information. The impugned order does not state that the said
\n         parameters had been kept in mind and on what basis compensation
\n         has been awarded.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         9.     Accordingly, the impugned direction imposing compensation
\n         of Rs.50,000\/- is set aside. In these circumstances, the matter is
\n         remanded back to the Central Information Commission. Parties or
\n         their representatives will appear before the Central Information
\n         Commission on 10th August, 2009.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
3.      The matter could not be heard on 10th August, 2009 as Shri M.L. Sharma,
\nInformation Commissioner, who was to hear the matter was on leave. Hence, in
\ncompliance with the directions of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, the matter was
\nheard on 12\/08\/2009.      Appellant Shri Subhash Chandra is present before the
\nCommission along with Shri Dibya Jyoti Jaipuriar. The DDA is represented by
\nthe following officers:-\n<\/p>\n
         (1)      Shri Subhash Chandra, Director (Lands);\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (2)      Shri S.S. Gill, Director(RL);\n         (3)      Shri K.K. Sharma, Deputy Director(Lands); &\n         (4)      Shri B.M. Sareen, Deputy Director(LA)(Residential).\n\n4.      A brief background of the matter will be in order.      As per Appellant's\n<\/pre>\n
claim, he holds General Power of Attorney on behalf of Shri Ram Chander, s\/o
\nShri Birbal, R\/o village Khichripur, Delhi, in respect of plot No.177, measuring
\nabout 400 square yards out of Khasra No.219\/2, situated in village Khichripur. It
\nis his clam that a structure built on the said plot was demolished by DDA during
\nemergency but he was not provided any alternative plot by DDA whereas several
\n 362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15             3<\/span><\/p>\n
other similarly placed persons were allotted plots by DDA. It is in this context
\nthat he had sent a spate of letters to various officers of DDA requesting for
\nallotment of alternative plot or monetary compensation etc.       It will suffice if
\nvarious letters addressed by him to various DDA authorities are enumerated in this
\nDecision. These are as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
         (i)      Letter dated 01\/06\/1999, addressed to Vice-Chairman, DDA;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (ii)     Letter dated 21\/06\/1999, addressed to Joint Director(Lands), DDA;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iii)    Letter dated 11\/07\/1999, addressed to Vice-Chairman, DDA;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iv)     Letter dated 22\/09\/1999, addressed to Joint Director(Lands), DDA;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (v)      Letter dated 05\/06\/2000, addressed to Vice-Chairman, DDA; &\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (vi)     Letter dated 26\/03\/2001, addressed to Vice-Chairman, DDA.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5.       As per the Appellant’s claim, the aforesaid letters remained unresponded to.\n<\/p>\n
6.     Thereupon, vide his letter dated 10\/07\/2006, the Appellant had sought
\ninformation on 09 paras under the RTI Act<\/a>, wherein, apart from requesting for
\ninspection of the concerned file, he had also made the following request:-\n<\/p>\n
                “I bought a land in 1974 but I do not have a virtual possession
\n         of the land which was acquired by the DDA. Till now, I have
\n         received no compensation. Till now, I have sent several applications
\n         and reminders but no satisfactory response was given. I have
\n         attached a bunch of applications with this one. Heart patient and
\n         senior citizen.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       The Appellant had sought daily progress in regard to the
\napplications\/letters\/petitions sent by him to the DDA authorities as enumerated in
\npara __ above.\n<\/p>\n
7.     During the hearing, Shri Gill, Director(RL), would make the following
\nsubmissions to buttress the point that due diligence was exercised by the
\nconcerned officers of DDA in dealing with the matter in hand. His submissions
\ncan be summarised as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
         (i)      The RTI application dated 10\/07\/2006 was received by
\n                  Director(Housing);\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (ii)     As he was not dealing with the matter, he transferred it to Director
\n                  (Residential Lands), vide letter dated 21\/07\/2006;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iii)    As no recommendation had been received from Land and Building
\n                  Department of NCT of Delhi, Director(RL) referred the matter to the
\n                  said Deptt., vide letter dated 02\/08\/2006, with a copy thereof to the
\n                  Appellant.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15             4<\/span><\/p>\n
         (iv)     The Land and Building Department responded to it vide letter dated
\n                  30\/08\/2006, stating that the file for allotment of alternative plot to
\n                  the evictees of clearance operation during emergency period had
\n                  been sent to DDA on 21\/03\/1988;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (v)      Thereupon, Director(RL) referred the matter to Deputy Director
\n                  (Lands-LM), DDA, vide letter dated 29\/09\/2006;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (vi)     Thereupon, Deputy Director(Lands)\/LM, wrote to the Appellant vide
\n                  his letter dated 23\/10\/2006 offering the inspection of the relevant
\n                  file;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (vii)    The Appellant, however, did not avail of inspection.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
8.     Besides, it is also his submission that while the matter was pending with
\nDeputy Director(Lands-LM), side by side, the Appellant also filed first appeal
\nbefore the Appellate Authority. This was disposed of by the Appellate Authority
\nvide order dated 03\/11\/2006 wherein, inter alia, it was stated as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
                “This case is of 1998 and being an old record, it is very
\n         difficult to locate the same.”\n<\/p>\n
9.     Dissatisfied with the order of the first Appellate Authority, the Appellant
\nhad filed second Appeal which was decided by this Commission vide its decision
\ndated 16\/07\/2007, as mentioned herein above.\n<\/p>\n
10.   The question before this Commission is whether compensation of
\nRs.50,000\/- is justified in the facts and circumstances of this case or not.
\nThe infirmities pointed out by the Hon’ble High Court in the CIC’s decision
\nprimarily concern non-mention of the section of the RTI Act<\/a> under which the
\ncompensation was awarded and the legal justification thereof in the scheme of the
\nRTI Act<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
11.   During the hearing, Shri Dev Jyoti Jayapuriar would make the following
\nsubmissions:-\n<\/p>\n
         (i)      that compensation was rightly awarded to the Appellant under
\n                  section 19(8)(b)<\/a> of the RTI Act and that Appellant is not responsible
\n                  for non-mention of this provision in the order passed by CIC;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (ii)     that compensation has been rightly awarded to the Appellant as,
\n                  even ignoring the plethora of applications\/petitions filed by the
\n                  Appellant, to various DDA authorities, and even reckoning the time
\n                  from the date of the filing of the RTI application, i.e., 10\/07\/2006,
\n                  the first communication received by the Appellant was on
\n                  23\/10\/2006, i.e., after a gap of about 104 days. During this period,
\n 362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15             5<\/span><\/p>\n
                  the Appellant suffered loss and detriment as provided under section
\n                  19(8)(b)<\/a> of the RTI Act;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iii)    that the Appellant has been petitioning various DDA authorities for
\n                  allotting him alternative plot since 1999 but no definitive response,
\n                  one way or the other, was given to him, by any officer of the DDA,
\n                  including the highest ranking officer, i.e., Vice-Chairman. He was,
\n                  thus, kept in limbo for all these years and, naturally, this caused him
\n                  immense mental torture, rendering him eligible for award of
\n                  compensation;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iv)     that it is, no doubt, true that he received the letter dated 23\/10\/2006
\n                  of the Deputy Director(Lands\/LM) wherein offer of inspection was
\n                  made but when he visited DDA, he was badly treated and inspection
\n                  was not allowed;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
12.   In short, Shri Jaipuriar has forcefully argued that the decision dated
\n16\/07\/2007 of this Commission is sound in law and calls for no interference.\n<\/p>\n
13.   As the hearing remained inconclusive, the matter was adjourned to
\n27\/08\/2009 at 16.00 hrs.<\/p>\n
14.    As scheduled, the hearing was resumed on 27.8.2009. The following are
\npresent :-<\/p>\n
\n\nDDA\n (i)     Shri D. Sarkar, Director (LM);\n(ii)     Shri K.K. Sharma, Dy. Director (Lands);\n(iii)    Shri B.M. Sareen, Dy Director (LA) (Residential);\n(iv)     Shri S.S. Gill, Director (RL).\n\nAppellant\n(i)   Shri Subhash Chander\n(ii)  Shri Divya Jyoti Jaipuriar\n\n<\/pre>\n
15.    It is the submission of Shri Gill that the compensation was erroneously
\nawarded to the appellant by this Commission. His principal argument is that the
\nappellant has not been able to establish any legal claim on the plot of land
\npurported to have been acquired. Besides, the queries raised by the appellant were
\nresponded to DDA officers from time to time and, therefore, it will be wrong to
\nhold that any detriment was caused to him, justifying award of compensation.\n<\/p>\n
                                  DECISION\n<\/p>\n
16.  I have heard the parties. I have also given a deep though to the matter. In
\nmy view, some detriment appears to have been caused to the appellant but
\n 362 SubhashChandraVsDDA 12 08 15             6<\/span><\/p>\n
responsibility for it can not be latched on any individual officer of DDA. In fact,
\nthe role of Shri S.P. Bhardwaj, Dy. Director, (Land) has been commended by this
\nCommission in its decision dated 16.7.2007, for tracing out the relevant file.
\nHowever, the fact remains that the appellant had to undergo a lot of mental torture
\nand uncertainty in this matter. Besides, there was also some delay in responding
\nto his RTI application. Hence, considering the totality of circumstances, the
\nCommission feels that it would be in the interest of justice to pay compensation to
\nthe Appellant u\/s 19 (8) (b) of the RTI Act<\/a> but he amount thereof needs to be
\ncaliberated. We reduce the amount of compensation from Rs. 50,000\/- to Rs.
\n30,000\/-. This amount shall be paid by DDA to the appellant by cheque or draft in
\ntwo weeks time and the Commission will be informed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
17.    The order of the Commission will be implemented by Shri S.S. Gill,
\nDirector (RL).\n<\/p>\n
18.      The matter stands closed at the Commission’s end.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                              Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n
                                                                    (M.L. Sharma)
