CHARANJIT KAUR\n\n\nName of the Public Authority                :   DLMW, M\/O RAILWAY, PATIALA\n\nBackground\n\n\n1.    The Applicant filed his RTI request on 30.03.09 with the PIO, DMW\/Patiala stating that\n      she is the senior most in the cadre of Stenographers and working in pay scale rs.6500-\n      10500 w.e.f. April'99 and that she had worked as PA to FA &amp; CAO from April'99 to\n      Oct'03 to the satisfaction of her superiors. However, in spite of her discharging her\n      duties with sincerity, diligently and obediently, she was posted as PA to Dy.FA &amp; CAO-I\n      from PA to FA &amp; CAO in Oct'03.      She contended in her application that in terms of\n      Railway Board's letter dated 27.11.89, the Stenographers of pay scale rs.6500-10500\n      are to be attached with SAG level officers. In this connection she appealed to Dy.FA &amp;\n      CAO-I vide her letter dated 22.11.05 with copy endorsed to FGA &amp; CAO. But nothing\n      has been heard so far. In this regard, she has also requested FA &amp; CAO vide her letter\n      dated 12.03.09, the reply of which is still awaited. In this connection she requested\n      the status\/decision taken by the Administration on her request to be attached to an\n      SAG level officer. She also stated that her junior has been posted as CA\/FA &amp; CAO. In\n      such circumstances, she had to mark her attendance under the supervision of her\n      junior for the period from Oct'03 to Jan'09. She requested a copy of rules under which\n      she was forced to mark her attendance under the staff junior to her and working\n      below her rank. The PIO replied on 17.04.09 enclosing comments given by\n      APIO\/Accounts vide letter dated 15.04.09. The Dy.FA &amp; CAO-I &amp; APIO (Accounts) vide\n      his letter dated 15.04.09 stated that the Applicant has been working as PA to Dy. FA &amp;\n      CAO-I vide letter dated 09.01.04 and         that she was allowed to look after the\n      confidential work of FA &amp; CAO's Secretariat vide officer order dated 19.01.09. Against\n      above order the Applicant has represented to FA &amp; CAO vide letter dated 12.03.09. As\n      she was unwilling to take the additional charge of FA &amp; CAO's Secretariat her orders\n      were cancelled vide office order dated 20.03.09. The attendance of FA &amp; CAO\n      secretariat is lastly closed by the concerned Gazetted officer i.e. AFA\/Effy., therefore\n      question of marking attendance by the Applicant under the supervision of Junior does\n      not arise. Not satisfied with this reply, the Applicant filed her First Appeal on 19.05.09\n      stating that information provided by the PIO is misleading and incorrect and giving\n      reasons for the same. The Appellate Authority vide order dated 11.07.09 directed the\n      CPIO to provide the information to the Applicant within 10 days of issue of the order,\n          free of cost. The CPIO provided on 20.07.09 information to the Applicant enclosing\n         comments forwarded by APIO Accounts vide letter dated 18.07.09. However, still not\n         satisfied with the reply, the Applicant filed her Second Appeal on 20.10.09 before the\n         Commission.\n2.       The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner scheduled the\n         hearing for 21st January, 2010.\n3        Mr.   Vinod Kumar, Dy.CPO-cum-PIO and Mr. Manjeet Kaur, Dy. FA &amp; CAO-cum-\n         Deemed PIO represented the Public Authority.\n4.       The Applicant was present during the hearing\n     .\n<\/pre>\n<p>Decision<\/p>\n<p>5.       The Respondent submitted that in compliance with the Appellate Authority&#8217;s Order the<br \/>\n         information was provided by the CPIO to the Appellant within 10 days, enclosing copy<br \/>\n         of the comments by the Dy. FA &amp; CAO-I &amp; APIO Accounts on 20.07.09 . It was stated<br \/>\n         in the letter that    decision has been taken on the Appellant&#8217;s representations<br \/>\n         submitted to FA&amp;CAO vide letter dated 12.03.09 and on another representation<br \/>\n         submitted to Dy. FA&amp;CAO-I vide letter dated 22.11.05 and also adding that there is<br \/>\n         no such rule under which an employee can be forced to mark her attendance under<br \/>\n         the supervision of a junior official. The Respondent also submitted that in respect of<br \/>\n         point 1 for which the Appellant is seeking the answer the information sought by the<br \/>\n         her is not available on record. The Respondent also submitted that the AFA\/Admn had<br \/>\n         informed the Applicant vide letter dated 16.07.09 that she was assigned the duty of<br \/>\n         confidential work of FA &amp; CAO&#8217;s secretariat. In response to her letter dated 03.02.09,<br \/>\n         it was further clarified vide letter dated 12.02.09 that she will be dealing as custodian<br \/>\n         of ACRs of Staff and Gazetted officers. She was again advised vide letter dated<br \/>\n         09.03.09 to take over the assigned duty\/charge. But she had again represented on<br \/>\n         12.03.09 against these orders. Since she did not comply with the orders issued by<br \/>\n         administration on one pretext or the other, her orders were therefore cancelled vide<br \/>\n         S.O.O. No. 09\/2009 dated 20.03.09. The Respondent also submitted that AFA<br \/>\n         (Efficiency) has the power to transfer an employee of the Appellant&#8217;s rank          from<br \/>\n         branch SAG to JAG and added that no order of the competent authority however, is<br \/>\n         available on record. The Appellant, however, stated that she had never refused any<br \/>\n         work and that she had, on the other hand, gven in writing that she is willing to take on<br \/>\n         additional work.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.       After hearing both sides, the Commission, under section 18(2) of the RTI Act, directs<br \/>\n         the PIO to set up an enquiry committee of       two Gazetted officers to look into the<br \/>\n         matter and to provide the Appellant with the information she is seeking by end<br \/>\n         February, 2010 to the Appellant under intimation to the Commission.\n<\/p>\n<p> 7.     The appeal is accordingly disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                    (Annapurna Dixit)<br \/>\n                                                 Information Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>Authenticated true copy:\n<\/p>\n<p>(G.
