Shri P.C. Sekhar vs Income Tax Department on 8 July, 2008<\/div>\n
                  CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION\n                                .....\n<\/pre>\n
                                        F.No.CIC\/AT\/A\/2007\/01558
\n                                          Dated, the 08th July, 2008.\n<\/p>\n
 Appellant        : Shri P.C. Sekhar<\/p>\n
 Respondents : Income Tax Department<\/p>\n
      This second-appeal by Shri P.C. Sekhar (appellant) came up for hearing
\non 02.06.2008. Appellant was present in person along with his mother,
\nSmt.P.Tirunagavalli and the respondents were absent.\n<\/p>\n
2.     Apart from the main-appeal against non-disclosure of information, the
\nappellant has also filed a complaint against the respondents for their failure to
\nsupply information to him within the time stipulated under
\nSection 7(1) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
Appeal:\n<\/p>\n
3.    Appellant stated that he had filed his RTI-request dated 29.03.2007
\ncomprising the following request:-\n<\/p>\n
      “1A    Facts:\n<\/p>\n
             TDS certificate for the financial year 2005-06 was not issued to me
\n             by my employer from 29-04-06 to 05-12-06 despite numerous
\n             reminders. The issuance of TDS certificate on 05-12-06 was done
\n             due to intervention of Central Information Commission.\n<\/p>\n
        1B   Information Required:\n<\/p>\n
             Following records of the Income Tax Department in pursuance of
\n             my complaint letters dated 02-08-06 and 26-10-06.<\/p>\n
             1.       Notings;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             2.       Action taken reports;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             3.       Letters of communication to my employer.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
        2A   Facts:\n<\/p>\n
             Hon’ble Supreme Court had held in number of cases that the
\n             corporate character would be ignored and veil would be pierced
\n             where the same is misused for the purpose of committing illegality<\/p>\n
                                                                      Page 1 of 4<\/span>
\n              or for defrauding others. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had further
\n             held that justice has no favorite other than truth. Fraud vitiates all
\n             transactions known to the law, however, high degree of solemnity
\n             may be attached to the transactions. Few case laws are cited
\n             below:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  o   COMMISSIONER          OF CENTRAL EXCISE, NEW DELHI VS. MODI
\n                      ALKALIES & CHEMICALS LTD. Appeal (Civil) 7827-7834 Of 2002 DOJ:
\n                      18\/08\/2004.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n                      Special Leave Petition (Civil) 21000 of 1993<\/p>\n
       2B    Information Required:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             Following records of the Income Tax Department in pursuance of
\n             my complaint letter dated 23-02-2007 wherein corroborating
\n             evidences were submitted to substantiate the fraud committed by
\n             my employer.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             1.       Notings;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             2.       Action taken reports;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             3.       Letters of communication to my employer.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
4.    CPIO provided replies to the appellant on 09.08.2007 (demanding fee)
\nand on 14.092007. Appellant filed his first-appeal dated 01.10.2007 against the
\norder of the CPIO by post which was returned to him undelivered.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He, thereafter, filed his first-appeal dated 08.10.2007 through the CPIO,
\nShri K.M. Verma, but no reply was given to him from the Appellate Authority’s
\nend.\n<\/p>\n
5.     The appellant has submitted that reply provided to him by the CPIO was
\nentirely unconnected with the queries made by the appellant in his
\nRTI-application. While the information which the appellant had asked for was in
\nrespect of notings and action taken on appellant’s TDS deductions by the Income
\nTax Office at Bombay, the reply provided to him included extracts of documents
\nwhich had nothing to do with the subject of the appellant’s RTI-application.
\nAppellant has reiterated that he be provided the relevant information which
\nincluded the notings by the Mumbai office of Income Tax Department in the
\nmatter of appellant’s TDS deduction, action taken reports and communication by
\nthe Income Tax Department to the employer of the appellant in the matter of
\nTDS deductions.\n<\/p>\n
Decision:\n<\/p>\n
6.     Commission noted that the respondents had failed to appear for the
\nhearing of the second-appeal before the Commission. They had also failed to
\n                                                                          Page 2 of 4<\/span>
\n furnish their written-submissions about the points made by the appellant in his
\nsecond-appeal, which was transmitted to the CPIO and the Appellate Authority,
\nvide Commission’s notice dated 26.12.2007.\n<\/p>\n
7.      A perusal of the submissions made by the appellant vis-\u00e0-vis the replies of
\nthe CPIO prove the point made by the appellant that he had not been provided
\nthe information as requested by him. There appears to be an attempt to somehow
\ngo through the motions under the RTI Act without actually disclosing
\ninformation as requested by the appellant in his RTI-application. This is contrary
\nto the letter and the spirit of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n
8.     The CPIO, Shri K.M.Verma, Commissioner of Income Tax (TDS)
\n(or his successor, if any) is directed that within one week from the date of the
\nreceipt of this order he shall provide all requested information to the appellant
\nfree of cost. He shall also separately issue a notice to the appellant asking him to
\ninspect the documents held by the CPIO or an officer of the public authority as
\nthe case may be corresponding to the appellant’s RTI-queries. Should the
\nappellant wish to inspect documents, records and files, these shall be disclosed to
\nhim by the CPIO through inspection within two weeks of the requisition for
\ninspection being filed by the appellant, which he shall be allowed to file within 4
\nweeks from the date of the receipt of this order. Appellant shall be allowed to
\ntake copies of such documents as he may identify without any payment of
\ncharges or fees.\n<\/p>\n
9.     The appeal is disposed of with these directions.\n<\/p>\n
Complaint:\n<\/p>\n
10.    As there had been delays in providing information to the appellant by the
\nCPIO and total silence from the side of the Appellate Authority, notice under
\nSection 20(1) of the RTI Act be served on the CPIO to show cause as to why a
\npenalty of Rs.25,000\/- not be imposed on him for provision of delayed,
\nincomplete and misleading information to the complainant in response to
\nappellant’s RTI-application dated 29.03.2007.\n<\/p>\n
11.    Notices under Section 19(8)(b) may be served on the head of the public
\nauthority, viz. Chairman, CBDT, repeated to the Appellate Authority & Chief
\nCommissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai to show cause as to why a compensation
\nof Rs.50,000\/- should not be awarded to the complainant, Shri P.C. Sekhar for
\nthe detriment suffered by him due to non-disposal of his first-appeal by the
\nAppellate Authority. Notices returnable in 2 weeks.\n<\/p>\n
12.    Schedule show-cause hearing.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                         Page 3 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n
