Srivastava had filed a RTI application with the CPIO, EPFO, Regional Office, Kolkata-700091 on<br \/>\n23\/02\/2010 asking for certain information. However, on not having received any information within the mandated<br \/>\ntime period of 30 days, he filed a Complaint under Section 18 of the RTI Act with the Commission on 26\/05\/2010.<br \/>\nOn this basis, the Commission issued a notice directing the PIO, EPFO, Regional Office, Kolkata on 28\/05\/2010 to<br \/>\nprovide the information to the Complainant and further sought an explanation for not furnishing the information<br \/>\nwithin the mandated time.\n<\/p>\n<p>        The Commission received a letter dated 21\/06\/2010 from the CPIO, Regional Office, Kolkata alongwith the<br \/>\ncopy of information provided to the Complainant and the explanation from the concerned PIO &amp; APFC (Admn.),<br \/>\nRegional Office, Kolkata for delay in providing the information. The Commission also received a letter from the<br \/>\nComplainant on 02\/07\/2010 alleging that the information received with respect to Query no. (9), (10) &amp; (11) is<br \/>\nincomplete. Further, the written explanation received from the PIO &amp; APFC, RO, Kolkata for the delay in<br \/>\nresponding to the RTI Application does not appear reasonable. There appears to be a delay of above 60 days in<br \/>\nresponding to the RTI Application dated 23\/02\/2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision dated August 17, 2010:\n<\/p>\n<p>The Complaint was allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>        &#8220;In view of the aforesaid, the PIO &amp; APFC (Admn.), Regional Office, Kolkata is hereby directed to provide<br \/>\nthe complete and correct information on Query nos. (9), (10) &amp; (11) as mentioned above to the Complainant before<br \/>\n15\/09\/2010. Further, from the facts before the Commission, the failure to comply with the provisions of the RTI Act<br \/>\nin providing the information within the mandated time and the inaction on the PIO&#8217;s part in providing the complete<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                      Page 1 of 3<\/span><br \/>\n information amounts to willful disobedience of the Commission&#8217;s direction and also raises a reasonable doubt that<br \/>\nthe denial of information may be malafide. The PIO &amp; APFC (Admn.), Regional Office, Kolkata is therefore,<br \/>\ndirected to appear before the Commission on 29\/09\/2010 at 12:30 pm alongwith his a written explanation to show<br \/>\ncause why penalty should not be imposed and disciplinary action be recommended against him under Section 20 (1)<br \/>\nand (2) of the RTI Act. Further, he may serve this notice to any more person(s) who are responsible for this delay in<br \/>\nproviding the information, and may direct them to be present before the Commission along with them on the<br \/>\naforesaid scheduled date and time. The PIO should also bring along proof of seeking assistance from other<br \/>\nperson(s), if any.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Facts leading to show cause hearing held on February 10, 2011:\n<\/p>\n<p>At the show cause hearing held on 29\/09\/2010, neither party appeared. Therefore, by show cause notice dated<br \/>\n24\/01\/2011, both parties were once again directed to appear before the Commission on 10\/02\/2011 for a show cause<br \/>\nhearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant facts emerging at the show cause hearing held on February 10, 2011:<br \/>\nThe following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Complainant: Mr. M. P. Srivastava (through audio- conference on 09431648401);<br \/>\nRespondent: Mr. Subhash Chand, Section Officer (HQ).\n<\/p>\n<p>       &#8220;The Complainant states that he has received information on the other points and only information<br \/>\non query 9 is now balance. He wants the information on query 9 as per the defaulter&#8217;s list on 31\/03\/2009.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Adjunct Decision dated 10\/02\/2011:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PIO, EPFO (Kolkata) is directed to provide the information on query 9 to the Complainant as on 31\/03\/2009<br \/>\nbefore March 5, 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PIO, EPFO (Kolkata) was supposed to appear before the Commission to show cause why penalty under<br \/>\nSection 20(1) of the RTI shall not be imposed on him as per the show cause notice issued to him on 24\/01\/2011. He<br \/>\nhas failed to appear before the Commission and has not sent any submissions explaining his absence. The<br \/>\nCommission however gives him one more opportunity to present himself before the Commission to show cause<br \/>\nwhy penalty under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act should not be levied on him on March 15, 2011 at 12:00 pm. In<br \/>\ncase he fails to send any submissions or appear before the Commission, it will be assumed that he has no<br \/>\nexplanation to offer for the delay and hence, the delay has occurred without any reasonable cause.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant facts emerging at the show cause hearing held on March 15, 2011:<br \/>\nThe following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Respondent: Mr. Giridhari Biswal, PIO &amp; Asstt.

He states that the information had to be provided on 11 points and this took up a lot of time. The<br \/>\nPIO admits that he gave no information to the Complainant within 30 days as required by the RTI Act. It is also<br \/>\nsignificant that inspite of the delay complete information has not been provided to the Complainant. The<br \/>\nRespondent states that he was not the PIO during the period February to June 2010 and that he took charge only on<br \/>\n26\/06\/2010. He states that the PIO at the time of the RTI application was Mr. Manoj Kumar Mishra who is now<br \/>\nposted as Assistant PF Commission, Regional Office Kolkata. The Commission directs Mr. Manoj Kumar Mishra<br \/>\nto showcause why penalty under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act should not be levied on him for failure to provide the<br \/>\ninformation within 30 days as per the RTI Act. Mr. Biswal states that eh had informed Mr. Mishra to appear for the<br \/>\nshowcause hearing today but he did not appear. The Commission gives one last opportunity to Mr. Manoj Kumar<br \/>\nMishra to appear before the Commission on 05 April 2011 at 10.30AM to showcase why penalty under Section<br \/>\n20(1) should not be imposed on him.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Adjunct Decision dated 15\/03\/2011:\n<\/p>\n<p>       &#8220;The Commission directs Mr. Manoj Kumar Mishra to appear before the Commission on 05 April 2011 at<br \/>\n10.30AM to showcause why penalty under Section 20(1) should not be levied on him for the delay in providing the<br \/>\ninformation to the Appellant.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                        Page 2 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Relevant facts emerging during the hearing held on 05\/04\/2011:<br \/>\nComplainant: Mr. M.P.
