On<br \/>\n      still not receiving any reply, the Applicant filed an appeal dt.6.6.09 with the Appellate<br \/>\n      Authority reiterating his request for the information.                Being aggrieved with the<br \/>\n      constant denial of information, even from the Appellate Authority, the Applicant filed a<br \/>\n      complaint dt.29.7.09 before CIC stating           that the information sought are the basic<br \/>\n      material information which are relied by the state and central authorities for<br \/>\n      preventing    pollution   and   illegal       activities,   whilst    granting   clearance   and<br \/>\n      permission\/approvals for any activities by the industries and others falling within the<br \/>\n      state. He added that MoEF as the statutory body is answerable to citizens and these<br \/>\n      information will enable him (the Applicant) to understand as to whether due care and<br \/>\n      compliance have been ensued while granting environmental clearance.                          The<br \/>\n      Commission vide its order dt.30.9.09 directed the Respondents to provide the<br \/>\n      information to the Applicant by 30.10.09 and the PIO to showcause why a penalty of<br \/>\n      Rs.250\/- per day should not be imposed on him for not providing the information<br \/>\n      within the stipulated period as given in the RTI Act. The explanation to be sent to the<br \/>\n      Commission by 5.11.09.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner, scheduled the hearing<br \/>\n      for November 20, 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    Dr.A.Senthil Vel, Addl. Director and Shri E.Thirunavukkarasu, Dy. Director represented<br \/>\n      the Public Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    The Applicant was represented by Shri K.S.Mahadevan, Advocate..<br \/>\n Decision<\/p>\n<p>5.    The Respondent submitted that the RTI application dt.18.2.09 was not received by<br \/>\n      them. When the Commission sought further details, he stated that had the RTI fees<br \/>\n      been deposited along with the RTI application, details of RTI application along with<br \/>\n      payment made would have been recorded in the register in the RTI Cell. However , no<br \/>\n      information about deposit of RTI fees was available raising doubts about the date of<br \/>\n      dispatch of the RTI request by the Appellant as also payment of RTI fees.                Mr.<br \/>\n      Mahadevan, who represented the Appellant, as also the Respondent sought additional<br \/>\n      time to find out whether the RTI fees was paid or not .\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    With regard to the information sought, the Respondent submitted that the list of 15<br \/>\n      documents is kept on the top of every proposal as a form of a check list . However,<br \/>\n      every proposal need not necessarily be accompanied by all the 15 documents. In the<br \/>\n      instant case, the Company had only submitted 5 out of the 15 documents along with<br \/>\n      its proposal, which was then put up to the Expert Committee for their approval. The<br \/>\n      Expert Committee could have asked for all the remaining 10 documents or selected<br \/>\n      documents if they wanted to. However, the Committee chose to approve the proposal<br \/>\n      based on only the 5 documents on 29.10.05, The environmental clearance was issued<br \/>\n      by Dr.A.Senthil Vel vide his letter dated 19.12.05.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    The case was again heard on 25th November 2009.                  Shri E.Thirunavukarasu, Dy.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Director   represented   the   Public   Authority   and   Shri    K.S.Mahadevan,    Advocate<br \/>\n      represented the Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    The Respondent, Shri Thirunavukarasu         reiterated that       they had received only 5<br \/>\n      documents along with the proposal submitted by the company and the expert<br \/>\n      committee had also opined that no additional document is required. Mr. Mahadevan<br \/>\n      representing the Appellant,      on the other hand,        vehemently contended that<br \/>\n      environmental clearance in the instant case ought to have been given only<br \/>\n      after taking into consideration all factors reflected in all the 15 documents<br \/>\n      and not just 5, before giving the environmental clearance.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    Mr. Mahadevan also added that on checking with the Applicant Mr. Balasunder, he<br \/>\n      came to know that the RTI fees was inadvertently not paid and he offered to pay the<br \/>\n      amount in cash to the CPIO for the information and also insisted on the information<br \/>\n      being sent to him. During the hearing, however,           a set of supporting      documents<br \/>\n      identified by the Commission including        certified copies of     the Minutes of Expert<br \/>\n      Committee meeting held on 29.10.05 and the letter vide which                  Environmental<br \/>\n      Clearance was issued dated 19.12.05 were handed over to the Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p> 9.     After due consideration of submissions by both parties, the Commission directs the<br \/>\n       Appellant to provide one more set of certified copies of documents to the Appellant<br \/>\n       besides an affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper informing about the non-availability of<br \/>\n       the 10 documents out of the 15      sought by the Appellant and the reasons for the<br \/>\n       same, by 25 December, 2009.      The Appellant is    also directed to pay   the RTI Fee<br \/>\n       within 2 days of the date of hearing and the CPIO.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.    The entire exercise should be over by 25.12.09<\/p>\n<p>                                                                            (Annapurna Dixit)<br \/>\n                                                                    Information Commissioner<br \/>\nAuthenticated true copy:\n<\/p>\n<p>(G.Subramanian)<br \/>\nAsst.
