\n      issued by DOP&T vide Office memorandum No.
\n      36012\/2\/96- Restt (Res) dated 2\/7\/97 and dated
\n      11.7.2002. In view of above following may please be
\n      furnished.\n<\/p>\n
      (1)    Reason for not intimating the names of reserved
\n             category candidate who have passed the
\n             examination for direct recruitment and limit
\n             departmental competitive examination on their own
\n             merit (Without availing any relaxation) to the
\n             concerned department.\n<\/p>\n
      (2)    Name and designation of official responsible for
\n             this act of omission in various exams during year
\n             1997 to 2007, may please be intimated.\n<\/p>\n
      (3)    In present situation\/ circumstances what remedial
\n             action can be taken so that reserved candidates
\n             who passed the exam on own merit shall occupy
\n             general point, not the reserve points.\n<\/p>\n
(E)   The Govt. intentions are very clear, as Govt. wants to
\n      increase the representation of SC, St and OBC category
\n      beyond fixed percentage i.e. reserve candidate who
\n      qualify the exam on the basis of their own merits will be
\n      adjusted against unreserved points (General point) and
\n      who will qualify the exam on basis of relaxed standard,
\n      they will occupy the reserve points as per DOP&T OM
\n      dated 2.7.1997. There are very much chances that some
\n      of UPSC official who does not want that number of
\n      reserve category candidates (SC\/ST\/OBC) shall go
\n      beyond 50% even if they qualify the examination on their
\n      own merit without availing any relaxation, whatever may
\n      be the Govt. Instructions or Hon’ble Supreme Court<\/p>\n
                              2<\/span>
\n              Judgement, they will peruse their own agenda by will full
\n             act of omission.\n<\/p>\n
      As per DOP&AR OM No. 36011\/7\/80-Estt (SCT) dated 1.11.80
\n      and OM No. 41016\/4\/93-Est (SCT) dated 15.3.1993 is clearly
\n      instructed that “Glaring instances of discrimination or deliberate
\n      in fraction of orders relating to reservation and concessions in
\n      favour of SC\/ST in any office or establishment should
\n      immediately brought to notice of appropriate authority for
\n      suitable action.      Ministries\/ department\/ authorities should
\n      ensure that whenever the cases of such nature are brought to
\n      their notice of appropriate authorities, suitable action is also
\n      taken promptly. It is further instructed that suitable action
\n      initiated against officials for deliberate negligence and lapses in
\n      the matter of following reservation and other orders relating to
\n      SC\/ST.\n<\/p>\n
      (1)    In view of above DOP&T OM dated 1.11.80 and 15.3.93,
\n             action proposed against official responsible for deliberate
\n             in fraction of order related to reservation and concession
\n             in favour of SC\/ST by way of wilful omission may please
\n             be intimated.\n<\/p>\n
      (2)    Clear instruction is given in above DOP&T OM dated
\n             1.11.80 and 15.3.2007 for immediate action against
\n             erring officials. Time frame for taking the action may
\n             please be intimated.”\n<\/p>\n
      To his he received a response dated 1.5.07 from Shri Ataur Rahman,
\nDy. Secretary and CPIO, UPSC as follows:\n<\/p>\n
      “Para (A)     Available information in respect of following
\n             Examinations is enclosed as Annexure-1.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             (i)    Civil Service Exam.\n             (ii)   Engineering Service Exam.\n             (iii)  Indian Forest Services Exam.\n             (iv)   Geologist Exam.\n             (v)    Central Police forces Exam.\n             (vi)   IES\/ ISS Exam.\n             (vii) CMS Exam.\n             (viii) SCRA Exam.\n\n<\/pre>\n
      It may be noted that for the Combined Defence Services and
\n      NDA & NA Exams, there are no provisions of reservations for
\n      SC\/ST\/OBC candidates.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      Para (B):    Information sought for cannot be divulged being
\n            personal & third party information in nature and no public
\n            interest is served thereby<\/p>\n
                                      3<\/span>
\n        Para (C):     The result of an examination forwarded to the
\n             nodal Ministry\/ Dep’t. for allocation, is indicative of
\n             information regarding reserved Category candidates
\n             qualified on General Merit. Further responsibility of
\n             maintaining vacancy rosters and placement of those
\n             candidates in such rosters is done by the Cadre
\n             Controlling Authority after the allocation of recommended
\n             candidates.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Para (D):    Question regarding the requisite information does
\n             not arise in view of reply to Para (C ) above.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Para (E):    Since this Para contains some baseless
\n             allegations against the Commission, in view of the fact
\n             that the Commission conducts its Examinations and
\n             follow the provisions of reservations contained in the
\n             Examination Rules in its letter and spirit, this Para needs
\n             no reply.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     However on not having received the response till 14.5.2007 appellant
\nmoved his first appeal before the First Appellate Authority, UPSC on that date.
\nFirst Appellate Authority Shri V. P. Singh, JS (E), UPSC in his order of
\n28.5.2007 examined this matter and found that the response has actually
\nbeen sent. In consequence he found that the appeal “no longer sustains. A
\ncopy of the reply dated 1-5-07 from the CPIO, UPSC to the appellant,
\nnonetheless, is enclosed for his reference.”\n<\/p>\n
       Appellant Shri Surendra Kumar’s         prayer before us in his second
\nappeal is as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
       “1)    CPIO may be directed to supply all the information’s
\n              as requested in my RTI Application dated 30.3.2007.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       2)     PIO is refusing to give the information taking wrong
\n              Shelter or third party ignoring importance of public
\n              interest. CPIO failed to supply the information as
\n              well reply to my letter dated 22.5.2007 within 30 days.
\n              Necessary penalty may be imposed for their callous
\n              attitude toward public.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       3)     PIO has failed to supply the information within
\n              prescribed time limit of 30 days and giving
\n              misleading reply regarding third party as Para (B) and
\n              incomplete & misleading reply on Para (C ). No
\n              proper reply on Para (D) & (E) has been given by PIO.
\n              CIC may recommend disciplinary action against the
\n              PIO and Appellate Authority.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n
 The appeal was heard on 27-11-08. The following are present.\n<\/p>\n
       Respondents
\n       Shri Naresh Kaushik, Advocate.\n<\/p>\n
       Ms. Amita Kalkal Chaudhary, Advocate.\n<\/p>\n
       Shri M Mukhopadhyay, Under Secretary, UPSC.
\n       Shri T. C. Naulak, SO, UPSC.\n<\/p>\n
       Although informed of the date of the hearing through our letter dated
\n17.11.2008 appellant Shri Surendra Kumar opted not to be present.\n<\/p>\n
                              DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n
       We find the reasons for delay in receipt of the information supplied by
\nCPIO Shri Ataur Rehman stands reasonably explained in the orders of First
\nAppellate Authority. Appellant Shri Surendra Kumar in a petition of 6.6.2007 to
\nFirst Appellate Authority Shri V. P. Singh has stated that the information
\nsupplied by CPIO is incomplete. However, he has made no first appeal with
\nregard to this information supplied, with the result that in responding to this
\npetition Shri V. P. Singh through his letter of 20.6.2007 has informed the
\nappellant that since appeal made by him had already been disposed of
\n“nothing more remained to be decided”.\n<\/p>\n
       In his second appeal before us Shri Surendra Kumar has not specified
\nany shortcomings that he has found in the CPIO’s reply. This question has
\nalso not been addressed by the First Appellate Authority. If not satisfied with
\nthe response received from the CPIO, a matter which he has not questioned
\nthrough a first appeal before the First Appellate Authority, it was open to
\nappellant Shri Surendra Kumar to move a fresh first appeal u\/s 19 (1), since
\nthat recourse has not been exhausted on grounds of the information supplied
\nto him, the earlier appeal having only been with regard to late receipt of
\ninformation, a question that stands disposed of by first appellate authority Shri
\nVP Singh.\n<\/p>\n
       Under the circumstances we find no substance in this appeal, which is
\nhereby dismissed, since there is no order of the 1st appellate authority that it
\ncontests. Shri Surendra Kumar may make a first appeal to First Appellate<\/p>\n
                                       5<\/span>
\n Authority Shri V. P. Singh, JS (E), UPSC u\/s 19(1) of the Act, and if not
\nsatisfied with the response in 1st appeal it will be open to him to move a
\nsecond appeal afresh before us u\/s 19 (3) of the RTI Act<\/a>, 2005.\n<\/p>\n
       Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost
\nto the parties.\n<\/p>\n
