\n               allocation has been accepted by the State Cell on the

\n               Department wise information in respect of applicants in
\n               respect of whom State Govt. has rejected their appeals and

\n               request received from State Advisory Committee \/ State

                                               1<\/span><\/p>\n
       To this Shri Prasad received a point-wise reply dated 16.5.08, as follows:
\n      “b)   On receipt of individual applications for cadre allocation, the
\n            final allocation is done as per rules \/ directives on the
\n            subject. But no record for such decisions is maintained in
\n            this Department.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      c)    State Govt. never sends their recommendations directly. It
\n            is State Govt’s Advisory Committee which prepared final list
\n            as per rules \/ directives on the subject and recommendations
\n            to the Govt. of India. But no such list is maintained in this
\n            Department.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      d)    State Governments recommend for cadre allocation only on
\n            the recommendations of the State Advisory Committee.
\n            Govt. of India do not get any information on the basis of
\n            recommendation, therefore, the question of maintaining any
\n            such lists does not arise.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      e)    Changes in cadre allocation, on receipt of individual
\n            applications, are made only as per rules \/ directions already
\n            issued on the subject, but no such record is kept by this
\n            Department. The State Ministers and competent officers
\n            take final decision only. ”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      Aggrieved by this response, Shri Prasad moved an appeal before Shri V.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Peddanna, Dy. Secretary, DOPT pleading as follows:\n<\/p>\n
      “1.   Entire information sought should be supplied free of cost.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      2.    Action be taken against the CPIO u\/s 20(1) & (2) of the RTI
\n            Act for providing misleading information.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      3.    Action may be taken on my request as per “Accountability” &
\n            “Responsibility” clauses as enacted in the RTI Act.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      4.    Appeal may be heard in presence of appellant and appellant
\n            may be provided a copy of the action taken. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      Upon this Nand Kishore Prasad Shandilya received the following order
\ndated 17.6.08 from Shri V. Peddanna, DS:\n<\/p>\n
      “It is informed that State Governments send their proposals to this
\n      Department based on the advice of the State Advisory Committee.
\n      These recommendations do not pertain to the entire discipline. As
\n      and when the recommendations are received from State Govt.’s
\n      Advisory Committee, the Government of India issues the orders of
\n      State Allocation. State Govt. never resubmits the case to Govt. of
\n      India for reconsideration. So far as State allocation is concerned, it
\n      is done by Govt. of India as per extent rules & regulation already<\/p>\n
                                        2<\/span>
\n       finalized in this regard and not according to the wishes of the
\n      concerned persons.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      Govt. of India takes decision, as per extent rules & directions, even
\n      on the applications sent to this Department by individuals in their
\n      personal capacity. If the request of the applicant is found covered
\n      under the extent rules \/ directions, only then the matter is
\n      reconsidered otherwise the matter is rejected and no such record is
\n      kept, since there are thousands of such type of cases from every
\n      State.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      The Web-portal prepared in the interest of general public, by the
\n      Govt. of India in this regard, is to provide free information to the
\n      general public. Even then, in case you desire to get this information
\n      from the Deptt. you can do so by paying the fee of Rs. 2\/- per
\n      page, as prescribed under the Act. The entire information sought
\n      by you, as is available on web site is contained in 30 pages and
\n      can be had from the web site free of cost. However, if you want the
\n      same in writing from this Deptt. in that case you may remit Rs. 60\/-
\n      through IPO or Bank Draft.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      Shri Nand Kishore Prasad Shandilya has then moved his second appeal
\nbefore us with the following prayer:\n<\/p>\n
      1.       The CPIO should be directed to furnish information as
\n               sought at the earliest.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      2.       Action should be taken against the concerned under
\n               Sec. 20(1) and (2) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      3.        The CIC should direct the concerned public authority to
\n               compensate the applicant.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      4.       Unsatisfactory, incomplete and misleading information
\n               furnished by the CPIO & first appeal rejected.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      5.       The applicant is still suffering due to negligence of the
\n               CPIO and First Appellate Authority.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      The appeal was heard by videoconference on 13.1.2010. The following
\nare present:\n<\/p>\n
      Appellant at NIC Studio, Aurangabad
\n            Shri N. K. Prasad
\n      Respondents at CIC Chambers, New Delhi
\n            Shri V. Peddanna, Dy. Secretary
\n            Shri M. N. Sharma, Under Secretary
\n            Shri V. Tirkey, Section Officer<\/p>\n
                                       3<\/span>
\n       Respondent Shri Peddanna submitted that such information, as is held by
\nthe DOPT, has been provided to appellant. However, appellant also wanted to
\nknow the details of each of the complaints received and their disposal by the
\nDOPT information, which, according to Under Secretary Shri M. S. Sharma, will
\ntake years to collate.    However, he submitted that in accordance with this
\nCommission’s directions, the information is being collated to be uploaded on
\nDoPT’s website to ease access to this kind of information in compliance with Sec
\n4 (1) (b), for those who wish to have it. Appellant Shri Prasad on the other hand
\nsubmitted that he would wish to see complete information and that such a record
\nshould be maintained by the DOPT.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                           DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n
      Sec. 7(9) of the RTI Act, 2005 reads as follows:
\n      “Sec.7 (9)
\n      An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is
\n      sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the
\n      public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or
\n      preservation of the record in question.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      This would imply that if the public authority does not hold the information
\nsought by an applicant in the form in which it is sought, it is open to the public
\nauthority to offer it in some other form. In this case respondents readily agreed
\nthat if there was any information regarding any particular case(s) that appellant
\nShri Prasad seeks, they will readily make this available to him.\n<\/p>\n
      We agree that to supply the general information sought in the form asked
\nfor in the present case, will “disproportionately divert” the resources of the DOPT
\nand could even compromise the preservation of the record in question. The
\ninformation sought is indeed being placed in the public domain by the DOPT. In
\naccordance with sec. 7(9), therefore, the plea of respondents is accepted and the
\ninformation sought by appellant Shri Prasad is to be made available on the
\nwebsite although will not allow complete disclosure within the time limit mandated<\/p>\n
                                         4<\/span>
\n u\/s 7(1) of the Act. On the other hand, if appellant wishes to modify his request
\nfor information, the matter can be considered by CPIO on its merits. This appeal
\nis disposed of accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
       Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost to
\nthe parties.\n<\/p>\n
(Wajahat Habibullah)
\nChief Information Commissioner
\n13.1.2010<\/p>\n
Authenticated true copy. Additional copies of orders shall be supplied against
\napplication and payment of the charges, prescribed under the Act, to the CPIO
