Department of Economic Affairs
New Delhi
                                  ORDER

1. The complainant filed 66 applications under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act) before the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), Department of Economic Affairs, New Delhi, seeking information on various points. The details of information sought by the complainant in all 66 RTI applications and the reply given by the CPIO in each of those applications is enumerated in Annexure-'A' as enclosed along with this order.

2. Being aggrieved with the response given by the respondent, the complainant filed 66 complaints u/Section 18 of the RTI Act before the Commission requesting to take appropriate legal action against the CPIO u/Section 20 of the RTI Act.

Hearing:

3. The complainant attended the hearing through audio-call. The then CPIO, Shri Dalip Singh attended the hearing through audio-conferencing. The present CPIO could not attend the hearing due to her ill-health. Ms. Sanju Yadav, Dy. Director & Link Officer attended the hearing through audio-call.

4. The complainant submitted his written submissions and the same has been taken on record.

5. The Commission observed that the complainant had filed large number of RTI applications/complaints before the Public Authority/Commission and after analyzing certain cases, it was observed that the then CPIO Shri Dalip Singh has given cyclostyle reply in large number of cases. Therefore, in the interest of justice, the Commission has agreed to hear and adjudicate those similar cases where identical replies were given by Shri Dalip Singh, the then CPIO in order to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. The complainant and the respondent have also agreed for the same.

6. The complainant submitted that complete and correct information has not been provided to him by the respondent on his all above RTI applications. The Page 2 of 9 complainant, during the hearing, has argued in each case separately (as mentioned above). The complainant contended that the respondent with malafide intention has obstructed the information under the RTI Act. The complainant further submitted that the respondent in response to his RTI applications has given cyclostyle response and not applied his mind in giving reply/information. The complainant submitted that he has sought specific information in each of his RTI application but vague reply was given by the then CPIO on all his RTI applications. The complainant further submitted that the then CPIO has given timely response in some of his RTI applications but in large number of cases, there is a delay in giving reply by the then CPIO. The complainant further contended that the then CPIO has also not sought assistance under Section 5(4) of the RTI Act in order to obtain information from the concerned department/section/CPIO. That CPIO intentionally did not provide documentary information relating to functioning of his Supervisor Officer/FAA to avoid embarrassment to him and obstructed information with malafide intention. The complainant further contended that the then CPIO in its reply has wrongly gave his opinion that "It is not practical and feasible for the Government to create unnecessary records which do not involve public interest" which is beyond the provisions of the RTI Act. The complainant submitted that this is the grave violation of the rules and regulations. The complainant further requested the Commission to convert all his above complaints into the second appeal.

7. Regarding conduct of FAA, he further stated that the FAA has also not disposed of his first appeals within stipulated period of time as per the provisions of the RTI Act. That the FAA has given decisions where information sought is related to him and his poor conduct which is in sheer violation of principal of natural justice. That the FAA has also not given opportunity to the complainant of being heard in his first appeals and orders have been passed in favour of the CPIO. That the FAA malafidely upheld the reply of the CPIO, knowingly that the reply of the then CPIO is vague and misleading. The complainant further argued that the FAA had disposed his ten first appeals together even without hearing him. The complainant further stated that the FAA had also disposed of his first appeals in cyclostyle manner vide which he has upheld the wrong and identical replies of CPIO. The complainant further submitted that the FAA in disposing one of its first appeal had passed an order on the letter-head of the DoPT and not on the letter-head of the Ministry of Finance. He further submitted that after that the FAA had passed a corrigendum where he had signed the order on the letter-head of the Ministry of Finance. Therefore, an appropriate legal action should be Page 3 of 9 initiated against the then CPIO u/Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005. The complainant further requested to invoke Section 25 of the RTI Act.

8. The then CPIO Shri Dalip Singh submitted that vide letters dated 22.02.2019, 24.06.2019, 26.06.2019, 27.06.2019, 01.07.2019, 22.07.2019, 25.07.2019, reply has been given to the complainant on his RTI applications wherein the complainant was informed that "Attention is invited to Para 9 of DOP&T OM No.1/4/2008-IR dated 25.4.2008 Only such information is required to be supplied under the Act which already exists and is held by the public authority or held under the control of the public authority It is not required under the Act to create information or to interpret information or to solve the problems raised by the applicants or to furnish replies to hypothetical questions. It is not practical and feasible for the Government to create unnecessary records which do not involve public interest. Under RTI Act, the applicant is not supposed to seek the reasons for any action of the Government officials. More specifically, RTI applicant is supposed to seek available record only. RTI Act is not meant for initiating enquiry against any person or seeking details steps/ activities within the Govt. Department". Shri Dalip Singh, then CPIO further submitted that both the SPMC Section and Coin Section received a lot of PMO references, VIP references, Public Grievances, multiple RTI of similar nature, Court matters regular matters of SPMCIL and Coin which required lot of time to complete. During the course of handling these matters during same period, the RTI applications could not be disposed of in timely manner. He further submitted that applicant has filed multiple RTIs of similar nature and there was no bad intention but inadvertent delay in giving reply to the RTI application. He further submitted that at the time he was appointed as CPIO, he has no knowledge of the RTI Act and no training was given the department that as to how RTI applications can be dealt. He has tendered his unconditional apology and assured that such mistakes will not happen in future. He has therefore requested the Commission to condone the delay.

Decision:

9. This Commission is not adjudicating on furnishing the information to the complainant and therefore, the legal issue to be decided herein is whether there is any malafide of the then CPIO which attracts penal action u/Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005. The complainant has contested that there is a malafide intention on the Page 4 of 9 part of the respondent public authority which is wilfully obstructing the information. On the other hand, the respondent contended that there was no malafide intention in denying the information and the cyclostyle responses were given as he has no knowledge of RTI Act and these were large number of RTI applications of similar nature.
10. The Commission further observed that the complainant has filed a complaint before the Commission under Section 18 of the RTI Act and the Commission, at this stage, cannot convert it as a second appeal and cannot direct the respondent to provide information at the stage of adjudicating the complaint.

The Commission referred to the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Chief Information Commissioner and another Vs. State of Manipura & Another reported in MANU/SC/1484/2011 : AIR 2012 SC 864; wherein their Lordships have held that "the remedy for a person who had sought information and was refused information, was to make an appeal under Section 19 of the RTI Act. Their Lordships have held that the nature of power under Section 18 of the Act is supervisory in character whereas the procedure under Section 19 is an appellate procedure and a person who is aggrieved by refusal in receiving the information which he has sought for can only seek redressed in the manner provided in the statute, namely, by following the procedure under Section 19. Section 7 read with Section 19 provides a complete statutory mechanism to a person who is aggrieved by refusal to receive information. Such person has to get the information by following the aforesaid statutory provisions. Sections 18 and 19 of the Act, serve two different purposes and lay down two different procedures and provide two different remedies. One cannot be a substitute for the other. While holding so, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has clarified the position that an appeal under Section 18 of the Act cannot be filed before the Chief Information Officer. In the instant case, a complaint is filed under Section 18(1) of the Act. In the light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the complaint made by the second respondent herein is not sustainable".

11. The Commission further observes that the then PIO Shri Dalip Singh stated that "since he just joined SPMC section and there was lot of work in the Section. No Section Officer was available to assist on the matters. He has further informed that both the SPMC Section and Coin Section received a lot of PMO references, VIP references, Public Grievances, Court matters regular matters of SPMCIL and Coin which required lot of time to complete. During the course of handling all these matters during same period, the RTI application could not be disposed of timely. He tried hard to the best of his abilities to complete these Page 5 of 9 tasks. He further submitted that there was no wrongful intention in the inadvertent incorrect reply and delay in the reply to the RTI application. He has therefore requested to kindly condone the delay for submission of the reply". The Commission is of the view that this is self-inflicting and reflects admission of his poor performance and ability to comprehend. If he needed some more time or if he had no knowledge of RTI Act, he could have sought assistance from his controlling officer but instead had given cyclostyle/cryptic replies without application of mind in all cases. The then CPIO has been very casual in disposing of the RTI applications. The conduct of the then PIO, Shri Dalip Singh is under adverse observation of the Commission in previous cases also wherein strict warning has been issued to him again and again, however no improvement has been noticed in his working as CPIO. The Commission further observed that there is a delay in giving reply to the complainant on his above RTI applications. The Commission further observed that the then CPIO has always taken the same defense in all previous cases and today 66 cases are listed where same cyclostyle replies were given and again the then CPIO Shri Dalip Singh has taken the same defense for giving those misleading replies to the complainant which cannot be accepted by the Commission.

12. The Commission observed that the complainant contended that the respondent public authority has not disposed of his RTI applications within stipulated period of time, therefore, he had filed more and more RTI applications to find reasons and justifications of delay. The Commission further observed that the conduct of the First Appellate Authority has also come under observation, as he has upholding the vague replies of the CPIO by passing general orders and no directions or guidance was given by the FAA to the CPIO to provide the information to the applicant. Rather he has blindly approve the replies of the CPIO. Further, there is a delay on the part of the FAA in disposing the first appeals of the complainant and he did not recuse or provide information in RTI matters relating to his conduct as FAA.

13. The Commission is of the view that the CPIO is not required to give his own judgments on the issue but he should have specifically/point-wise denied it the information sought is not available as per their records or should have sought the assistance of the concerned CPIO/department u/s. 5(4) of the Act in order to give specific reply/information. Terming any information unnecessary is not warranted. The Commission takes a serious note of this fact. A reference was drawn to the decision of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of J.P Agrawal v. Union of India-2013(287) ELT25(Del.) wherein it was held as under:

Page 6 of 9
7."it is the PIO to whom the application is submitted and it is who is responsible for ensuring that the information as sought is provided to the applicant within the statutory requirements of the Act. Section 5(4) is simply to strengthen the authority of the PIO within the department; if the PIO finds a default by those from whom he has sought information. The PIO is expected to recommend a remedial action to be taken". The RTI Act makes the PIO the pivot for enforcing the implementation of the Act."

14. On the issue of alleged malafide for not sharing the information relating to functioning of superior authority, the Commission observed that the CPIO has not differentiated among RTIs whether relating to functioning of Sr. Authorities, pending RTI matters, appeals, complaints and other issues and has given same replies in all the cases. Prima facie, there are large number of RTIs filed by the complainant though technically different but of similar nature which could have been dealt more meticulously rather than being responded in identical manner. It is more reflective of his callous behavior but the matter need to be probed further for lack of administrative propriety/malafide.

15. The Commission further observed that firstly, there is a delay in giving reply to the complainant on his RTI applications. Secondly, the information was not provided specifically to the complainant on all his RTI applications as mentioned above. Thirdly, the response given by the then CPIO is without application of mind and callous behavior has been adopted by the then CPIO in disposing the RTI applications. This amounts to grave violation of the provisions of the RTI Act. Further, this also shows lackadaisical approach of the then PIO in dealing with the RTI applications. The defense taken by the then PIO is not sustainable and cannot be accepted in the eyes of law. The Commission observed that in Shail Sahni Vs. Sanjeev Kumar & Ors. in W.P.(C) No. 845 of 2014, the Hon'ble Delhi High Court has held that "misuse of the RTI Act has to be appropriately dealt with, otherwise the public would lose faith and confidence in this "sunshine Act". A beneficent Statute, when made a tool for mischief and abuse must be checked in accordance with law."

16. The Commission observed that the complainant in his complaints has expressed his displeasure with respect to the reply given by the respondent on his RTI applications. In this regard, the Commission noted that the complainant has filed complaints under Section 18 of the RTI Act and in order to adjudicate any penalty provisions under Section 18 read with Section 20 of the RTI Act, any one of the elements of Section 18 should be fulfilled. The Commission is of the view Page 7 of 9 that Section 18 sub-clause (e) has been invoked in the present case which reads as "who believes that he or she has been given incomplete, misleading or false information under this Act".

17. The Commission is of the view that the then CPIO has given the replies to the complainant with delay without any sufficient cause and information was also declined by giving identical reply and opinion without any sufficient reason. The Commission further observed that there was a complete negligence and laxity by the then CPIO in dealing with the RTI applications. It is abundantly clear that such matters are being ignored and set aside without application of mind which reflects disrespect towards the RTI Act, 2005 itself. The Commission expressed its displeasure on the casual and callous approach adopted by the then CPIO in responding to the RTI applications. It was felt that the conduct of the then CPIO was against the spirit of the RTI Act, 2005 which was enacted to ensure greater transparency and effective access to the information. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, invoking of Section 20(2) of the RTI Act is warranted, which reads as under:

(2) Where the Central Information Commission or the State Information Commission, as the case may be, at the time of deciding any complaint or appeal is of the opinion that the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, has without any reasonable cause and persistently, failed to receive an application for information or has not furnished information within the time specified under sub-section (1) of Section 7 or malafidely denied the request for information or knowingly given incorrect, incomplete or misleading information or destroyed information which was the subject of the request or obstructed in any manner in, furnishing the information, it shall recommend for disciplinary action against the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, under the service rules applicable to him."

18. The Commission directs the Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs to have the matter examined with respect to the malafide intention and non- competence of the then CPIO Shri Dalip Singh and initiate appropriate disciplinary proceedings against him. A copy of action taken may be endorsed to the Commission for its information within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of this order.

19. The Commission further observed that the complainant has specifically pointed-out and had uploaded the reply of the First Appellate Authority where he Page 8 of 9 has passed an order on the letter-head of the DoPT. The Commission observed that the FAA was casual for probably not reading the letter-head. The conduct of FAA should be reviewed by his Controlling Authority. The Commission directs the Controlling Authority of the First Appellate Authority Shri Manmohan Sachdeva to look into his conduct in light of complaints of not discharging his duties meticulously as FAA which were assigned to him.

20. The respondent is directed to place a copy of this order before the Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs and the Controlling Authority of Shri Manmohan Sachdeva through Secretary, DEA for its compliance.

21. With the above observations, the complaints are disposed of.

22. Copy of the decision be provided free of cost to the parties.
