Since no reply was received\nwithin the mandated time of 30 days, he had filed a complaint under Section 18 to the\nCommission. The Commission issued a notice to the PIO on 23\/03\/2009 asking him to supply\nthe information and sought an explanation for not furnishing the information within the\nmandated time.\n        The Commission has neither received a copy of the information sent to the complainant,\nnor has it received any explanation from the PIO for not supplying the information to the\ncomplainant. Therefore, the only presumption that can be derived is that the PIO has deliberately\nand without any reasonable cause refused to give information as per the provisions of the RTI\nAct. His failure to respond to the Commission's notice shows that he has no reasons for the\nrefusal of information.\n\nDecision:\nThe Complaint is allowed.\n       The PIO will send the complete information to the complainant before June 25, 2009.\nThe PIO's action clearly amounts to denial of information without any reasons. The PIO is\ntherefore, asked to submit a written explanation as to show cause as to why penalty should not be\nimposed and disciplinary action be recommended against him under Section 20 (1) &amp; (2) of the\nRTI Act before June 30, 2009.\n       If the information has already been supplied to the complainant, furnish a copy of the\nsame to the Commission with your written submission.\n\nNotice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.\n.\n<\/pre>\n<p>                                                                                          Shailesh Gandhi<br \/>\n                                                                                Information Commissioner<br \/>\n                                                                                            June 05, 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>For any further communication with the Commission please mention the decision No. given at the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Information Commission Mr. Rajendra Singh vs Public Work Department, Govt.
