Dogra had filed a RTI application with the PIO, Manipal University on 07\/02\/2009<br \/>\nasking for certain information. Since no reply was received within the mandated time of 30 days, he<br \/>\nhad filed a complaint under Section 18 to the Commission.\n<\/p>\n<p>        The Commission issued a notice to the PIO on 10\/06\/2009 asking him to supply the<br \/>\ninformation by 05\/07\/2009 and sought an explanation for not furnishing the information within the<br \/>\nmandated time. The PIO vide letter dated 19\/06\/2009 informed the Commission that the Manipal<br \/>\nUniversity being a public authority does not come under the purview of the RTI Act 2005. Dr. G.K.<br \/>\nPrabhu, Registrar of Manipal University added, &#8221; Manipal University formerly known as Manipal<br \/>\nAcademy of Higher Education (MAHE) has been declared to be a Deemed University and thus the<br \/>\nabove referred Act is not applicable to Manipal University &amp; its constituent institutions.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>The Commission in decision number: CIC\/OK\/A\/2008\/01098\/SG\/2550 of 31 March 2009 has ruled,<br \/>\n&#8220;Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 provides for the constitution of<br \/>\nDeemed Universities. Section 3 reads as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Central Government may, on the advice of the Commission, declare by notification in the<br \/>\nOfficial Gazette, that any institution for higher education, other than a University, shall be deemed to<br \/>\nbe a University for the purpose of this Act, and on such a declaration being made, all the provisions of<br \/>\nthis Act shall apply to such institution as if it were a University within the meaning of clause (f) of<br \/>\nSection 2.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>It appears from Section 3 that deemed Universities are declared to be so by notification in the official<br \/>\nGazette by the Central Government. Of this is the case, then a deemed University may come with in<br \/>\nthe definition of &#8220;Public Authority&#8221;. As mentioned earlier, &#8220;Public Authority&#8221; does include any<br \/>\nauthority or body established or constituted by notification issued by the appropriate<br \/>\nGovernment.&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; &#8220;&#8221;University&#8221; means a University established or incorporated by or under<br \/>\na Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act, and includes any such institution as may, in consultation<br \/>\nwith the University concerned, be recognized by the Commission in accordance with the regulations<br \/>\nmade in this behalf under this Act. Manipal University by virtue of being a Deemed University is a<br \/>\nPublic authority as defined under the RTI act.\n<\/p>\n<p> Commission&#8217;s Decision dated 13 July 2009:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Complaint is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Manipal University will appoint the PIO and the First Appellate Authority before 25 July 2009.<br \/>\nThe PIO will then provide the information to the Complainant before August 15, 2009.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Facts leading to Showcause:\n<\/p>\n<p>       Dr. G.K.Prabhu, Registrar vide his letter dated 21.07.2009 requested the Commission to give<br \/>\nhim additional 15 days. The Commission vide letter dated 13\/08\/2009 gave additional time to the PIO<br \/>\nwhich was applicable from 15\/08\/2009 to 30\/08\/2009. The Commission again received a letter from<br \/>\nRegistrar in which he had claimed that the University is not a public authority under Section 2(h)<br \/>\nhence RTI Act is not applicable to him. Since the PIO did not raised this issue during the hearing and<br \/>\nthe Commission has categorically declared that the University is public authority. Therefore it<br \/>\nappeared that the PIO is knowingly concealing the information and was directed to present before the<br \/>\nCommission to showcause why penalty should not be levied on him under Section 20(1).\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant Facts that emerged during Hearing on 24 September 2009:<br \/>\n&#8220;The following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Appellant: Absent<br \/>\nRespondent: Mr. R.Karuppiah, General Manager, Manipal University Learning Pvt. Ltd., 610 &amp;<br \/>\n               611, Prakash Deep Building, Tolstoy Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi-110001<br \/>\n        The Respondent has produced an order of the Hon&#8217;ble High Court of Karnataka dated<br \/>\n17\/09\/2009 staying the imposition of penalty for a period of three months by the Commission. The<br \/>\norder is silent about whether the Hon&#8217;ble Court has given any stay on the order of the Commission<br \/>\ndeclaring Manipal University is a public authority under the RTI Act. However, in deference to the<br \/>\norders of the Hon&#8217;ble High Court we are adjourning the matter. The matter will be heard on 04 January<br \/>\n2010 at 10.00AM. If there are any orders any the Hon&#8217;ble Court these will also be presented before the<br \/>\nCommission.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Relevant Facts emerging during Hearing on 4 January 2010:\n<\/p>\n<p>The following were present:\n<\/p>\n<p>Appellant: Absent<br \/>\nRespondent: Mr. R.Karuppiah, General Manager, Manipal University Learning Pvt. Ltd., 610 &amp;<br \/>\n              611, Prakash Deep Building, Tolstoy Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi-110001<br \/>\n       The Respondent has again produced an order by the Hon&#8217;ble High Court of Karnataka dated<br \/>\n17\/12\/2009 continuing the stay order granted earlier. In view of this the respondent has requested the<br \/>\nCommission to adjourn the matter for another three months. The Commission had earlier in its order of<br \/>\n24 September 2009 recorded the fact that the stay had only been given with respect to imposition of<br \/>\npenalty. There is no mention in the earlier order or the subsequent order that the stay covers the<br \/>\ndecision of this Commission holding that the Manipal University is a public authority. It is not at all<br \/>\nclear that the High Court has consciously stayed the Commission&#8217;s decision declaring Manipal<br \/>\nUniversity as a Public Authority. The Commission in deference to the order issued by the Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nKarnataka High Court adjourning the matter by another three months. However, if there is no specific<br \/>\nmention in the courts&#8217; order that the court is staying the decision of this Commission deciding that<br \/>\nManipal University is a public authority, the Commission will enforce its decision on the matter of<br \/>\nManipal University being a public authority. The respondent is directed to bring this to the attention of<br \/>\nthe Hon&#8217;ble Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                     Shailesh Gandhi<br \/>\n                                                                           Information Commissioner<br \/>\n                                                                                      4 January 2010\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Information Commission Mr. S.K.
