Shri Gaurav Sharma vs Dep\u2019T. Of Personnel & Training … on 21 August, 2009<\/div>\n
                         CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION\n                           Appeal No.CIC\/WB\/A\/2008\/00528 dated 17.3.2008\n                             Right to Information Act 2005 - Section 19\n\n\nAppellant        -          Shri Gaurav Sharma\nRespondent           -      Dep't. of Personnel & Training (DoPT).\n                                  Decision announced: 21.8.2009\n\n\nFacts<\/pre>\n
:\n<\/p>\n
         By an application of 3.11.07 Shri Gaurav Sharma of Laxmi Bai Nagar,
\nNew Delhi applied to Shri A. Balaram, US, DOPT seeking the following
\ninformation:\n<\/p>\n
         “(a)   Is the Director of Administration, CPWD or DGS&D
\n                competent to impose a major penalty on a member of CSCS
\n                or CSSS Grade-III, working in CPWD or DGS&D
\n                respectively.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (b)    If so, under which provision.\n         (c)    If not, which authority is empowered to impose a major\n<\/pre>\n
                penalty on a member of the CSCS or CSSS Grade-III
\n                working in CPWD or DGS&D.?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (d)    Is not the entry (f) under reference common to both
\n                members of CSCS as well as CSSS Grade-III working in
\n                CPWD? Similarly is not the entry (g) common to both CSCS
\n                and CSSS grade-III working in DGS&D.?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (e)    If it is meant only for members of CSSS and not CSCS, then
\n                why no appointing authority in respect of CSS has been
\n                given?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         To this he received the following response dated 20.11.07 from Shri
\nBalaram, US, DOPT:\n<\/p>\n
         “(a) to (c ): If both the authorities referred to in part (a) are common
\n                 the Competent Authority can impose a major penalty on the
\n                 Government servant concerned. A copy of the Part-III of the
\n                 Schedule of the Central Civil Services (Classification,
\n                 Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 is enclosed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (d): The Deputy Secretary\/ Director, Cadre Authority is the
\n                 Appointing Authority who can award major penalties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (e):    The Appointing Authority in respect of the posts in questions
\n                 has been specified in the entries against S. No. 1 and 1-A of
\n                 Part III of the aforesaid Schedule. It may be noted that the<\/p>\n
                                               1<\/span>
\n               appellate authority is common to the posts covered under
\n              the aforementioned S. Nos. 1 and 1-A.’<\/p>\n
       Not satisfied with this response, however, Shri Gaurav Sharma moved an
\nappeal before Shri P. Prabhakaran, DS, DOPT seeking the specific information,
\nas below:\n<\/p>\n
       “The learned PIO has not clearly stated who is the competent
\n       authority to:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          (a)     Impose a major penalty on a member of CSCS, working
\n                  in the CPWD, an attached office of Ministry of Urban
\n                  Development; and\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          (b)     Impose a major penalty on a member of CSCS, working
\n                  in the DGS&D an attached office of the Department of
\n                  Supply (Department of Commerce).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Shri P. Prabhakaran, in his letter of 7.12.07 dismissed the appeal, as
\nfollows:\n<\/p>\n
       “The details of information as available in the CCS (CCA) Rules,
\n       1965 have been made available by CPIO. Further specific details
\n       about such authorities or their location etc., not being available with
\n       the CPIO of DoP&T, the appeal seeking such details is rejected.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Appellant Shri Gaurav Sharma’s prayer before us in his second appeal is
\nas below:\n<\/p>\n
       “I beg to request that the designation of the authority
\n       competent to impose major penalty on a member of CSCS
\n       working in CPWD or DGS&D may be revealed.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       Shri Gaurav Sharma has, however, also appended the following
\nsuggestion:\n<\/p>\n
       “The wrong interpretation referred to in S. No. 7 above may result in
\n       miscarriage of justice, by conferring draconian powers in the hands
\n       of Director (Administration) of CPWD or DGS&D who may not be
\n       above to decide as objectively, as the DS\/Director of the Ministry or
\n       Department would have done. Please appreciate that the charged
\n       officer may be working in and around Director (Administration) and
\n       may have at times earned his wrath.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       The appeal was heard on 21.8.09. The following are present:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n
        Respondent
\n            Shri P.Prabhakaran, DS (E) DOPT
\n            Shri A. Balaram, US (Estt.A) DOPT<\/p>\n
       Although appellant Sh. Gaurav Sharma had been informed by Notice
\ndated 4.8.2009 regarding the hearing he has opted not to be present. Shri P.
\nPrabhakaran, DS (E) DOPT submitted that the application of the rules in different
\nDepartments, a copy of which DOPT has provided to appellant Shri Gaurav
\nSharma, is the responsibility of the concerned Departments not of the DOPT.
\nThe CPWD is part of Ministry of Urban Development while the DGS&D is with the
\nMinistry of Commerce and have no administrative relationship with the DOPT.
\nShri Prabhakaran also submitted that the interpretation of rules is not a question
\ncovered under the RTI Act, 2005.\n<\/p>\n
                                 DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n
       From the above, it is quite clear that the CPIO, DOPT was not the
\nappropriate authority as defined under sub sec. (1) of Sec. 6, to whom the
\nappellant Shri Gaurav Sharma should have made his application.                      This
\napplication should have gone to the CPIO of the public authorities concerned
\nwhich in this case are two, since Shri Gaurav Sharma has asked for information
\nregarding employees of the CPWD and of the DGS&D. CPIO, DOPT has done
\nhis part by providing to appellant Shri Gaurav Sharma, a copy of the rules
\ntogether with the general principles regarding award of major penalties.
\nHowever, he is not the appropriate authority to ask for information specific to a
\nparticular public authority for which the best authority is that public authority itself.
\nThis appeal is, therefore, now transferred as an application to CPIO, Office
\nof Director (Admn), CPWD, Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi and CPIO, Office of
\nDirector (Admn), DGS&D, Ministry of Commerce, Parliament Street, New
\nDelhi, who will dispose of these applications in keeping with the provisions
\nof the RTI Act 2005. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n
        Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost to
\nthe parties.\n<\/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
