The appellant has brought to the attention of the Commission<br \/>\nthe fact that the MCD has stated that the demolition action was planned six times in 2004 and 2005. The<br \/>\nPIO states that the records show that part demolition action was taken on 15\/06\/2004 but subsequently the<br \/>\nfull demotion has not bee done so far for reasons that would be obvious to any citizen. Since then MCD<br \/>\nhas not taken complete action against this unauthorized construction which shows that extent of collusion<br \/>\nin protecting unauthorized construction.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Commission can only hope that MCD would take action against unauthorized construction instead of<br \/>\nallowing unauthorized construction to continue with its knowledge.\n<\/p>\n<p>The RTI application was filed on 16\/11\/2009 hence the information should have been provided to the<br \/>\nappellant before 16\/12\/2009.Insted of which the information was provided to the appellant on 05\/03\/2010.<br \/>\nThe PIO states that the person responsible for providing the information late is Mr. Vikash Meena, Junior<br \/>\nEngineer (B). Mr. Vikash Meena admits that he was responsible for providing the information.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision dated 11\/08\/2010:\n<\/p>\n<p>The Appeal was allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;The PIO is directed to give a copy of the record showing the partial demolition was<br \/>\ndone on 15\/06\/2004 to the appellant before 25 August 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>The issue before the Commission is of not supplying the complete, required information by the<br \/>\ndeemed PIO Mr. Vikash Meena, Junior Engineer (B) within 30 days as required by the law.<br \/>\nFrom the facts before the Commission it is apparent that the deemed PIO is guilty of not furnishing<br \/>\ninformation within the time specified under sub-section (1) of Section 7 by not replying within 30 days, as<br \/>\nper the requirement of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>It appears that the deemed PIO&#8217;s actions attract the penal provisions of Section 20 (1). A showcause<br \/>\nnotice is being issued to him, and he is directed give his reasons to the Commission to show cause why<br \/>\npenalty should not be levied on him.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Vikash Meena, Junior Engineer (B) will present himself before the Commission at the above address<br \/>\non 20 September 2010 at 11.00am alongwith his written submissions showing cause why penalty should<br \/>\nnot be imposed on him as mandated under Section 20 (1). He will also submit proof of having given the<br \/>\ninformation to the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                               Page 2 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p> If there are other persons responsible for the delay in providing the information to the Appellant the<br \/>\nPIO is directed to inform such persons of the show cause hearing and direct them to appear before the<br \/>\nCommission with him.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant facts emerging during showcause hearing on 20\/09\/2010:<br \/>\nAppellant: Mrs. Anshu Gupta on behalf of Mrs. Suman Lata;<br \/>\nRespondent: Mr. Vikash Meena, Deemed PIO &amp; JE(B), City Zone;\n<\/p>\n<p>        Mr. Vikash Meena has stated that the RTI application dated 10\/11\/2009 was received in the PIO&#8217;s<br \/>\noffice on 16\/11\/2009 and the same was received by him on 23\/11\/2009. However, the information had<br \/>\nbeen provided to the Appellant on 05\/03\/2010 i.e. after filling of First Appeal. In compliance of the<br \/>\nFAA&#8217;s order dated 09\/03\/2010, the same information was again provided to the Appellant on 15\/03\/2010.<br \/>\nFurther, in compliance of the Commission&#8217;s order dated 11\/08\/2010 a copy of the record showing the<br \/>\npartial demolition was done on 15\/06\/2004 has also been provided to the Appellant on 18\/08\/2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>       When the Commission asked Mr. Vikash Meena the reasons for not providing the information<br \/>\nwithin the stipulated time, he offered no reasonable cause. Mr. Vikas Meena is not able to give any<br \/>\nreasonable cause for not having provided the information.        The RTI application was received on<br \/>\n10\/11\/2009 and the information should have been provided before 10\/12\/2009. Instead the first<br \/>\ninformation was provided on 05\/03\/2010 after a delay of 82 days.\n<\/p>\n<p>Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act states, &#8220;Where the Central Information Commission or the State<br \/>\nInformation Commission, as the case may be, at the time of deciding any complaint or appeal is of the<br \/>\nopinion that the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case<br \/>\nmay be, has, without any reasonable cause, refused to receive an application for information or has not<br \/>\nfurnished information within the time specified under sub-section (1) of section 7 or malafidely denied the<br \/>\nrequest for information or knowingly given incorrect, incomplete or misleading information or destroyed<br \/>\ninformation which was the subject of the request or obstructed in any manner in furnishing the<br \/>\ninformation, it shall impose a penalty of two hundred and fifty rupees each day till application is received<br \/>\nor information is furnished, so however, the total amount of such penalty shall not exceed twenty five<br \/>\nthousand rupees;\n<\/p>\n<p>Provided that the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case<br \/>\nmay be, shall be given a reasonable opportunity of being heard before any penalty is imposed on him:<br \/>\nProvided further that the burden of proving that he acted reasonably and diligently shall be on the Central<br \/>\nPublic Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Section 19 (5) of the RTI Act has also stated that &#8220;In any appeal proceedings, the onus to prove that a<br \/>\ndenial of a request was justified shall be on the Central Public Information Officer or State Public<br \/>\nInformation Officer, as the case may be, who denied the request.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus if without reasonable cause, information is not furnished within the time specified under sub-section<br \/>\n(1) of section 7, the Commission is dutybound to levy a penalty at the rate of rupees two hundred and fifty<br \/>\neach day till the information is furnished. Once the Commission decides that there was no reasonable<br \/>\ncause for delay, it has to impose the penalty at the rate specified in Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act and the<br \/>\nlaw gives no discretion in the matter. The burden of proving that the PIO or deemed PIO acted reasonably<br \/>\nand diligently is clearly on the PIO.\n<\/p>\n<p>Since no reasonable cause has been offered by the Mr. Vikash Meena, JE and Deemed PIO the<br \/>\nCommission imposes a penalty under Section 20(1) of the `250\/- per day of delay i.e. `250 X 82 days =<br \/>\n`20,500\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                Page 3 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>       As per the provisions of Section 20 (1) RTI Act 2005, the Commission finds this a<br \/>\nfit case for levying penalty on Mr. Vikash Meena, JE and Deemed PIO. Since the delay in<br \/>\nproviding the correct information has been of 82 days, the Commission is passing an order<br \/>\npenalizing Mr. Vikash Meena `20,500\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>       The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Delhi is directed to recover the<br \/>\namount of `20,500\/- from the salary of Mr. Vikash Meena and remit the same by a demand<br \/>\ndraft or a Banker&#8217;s Cheque in the name of the Pay &amp; Accounts Officer, CAT, payable at<br \/>\nNew Delhi and send the same to Shri Pankaj K.P.

The amount may be deducted at the rate of `4100\/ per<br \/>\nmonth every month from the salary of Mr. Vikash Meena and remitted by the 10th of every<br \/>\nmonth starting from October 2010.
