Sub. : Complaint about Installation of illegal Air Conditions (Purchased by money earned from corruption) in the cabin of Sr. Police Inspectors & S.D.P.O. across the Maharashtra Specially At Manikpur Police Station, Under Thane Rural Police.


Dear Sir/ Madam,

Kindly register my complaint against all Sr. Police Inspector /S.D.P.O. of all police Stations/ offices, who are using illegal air conditions in their cabins without obtaining permission from appropriate authority, and also that Air Conditions are been purchased by money earned by way of corruption.

Please note that I have received information by using R.T.I. Act. Whereby Sr. P.I. Manikpur Police Station has accepted that Cabin has Air Condition but fails to disclose mode of purchase of the same. He informs in his letter that air condition was installed by his predecessors for protection of Computer and Fax, in fact the illegal air condition is installed in the cabin of Sr. P. I. Mr. Chandra Kant Jadhav and there is no computer and Fax inside the cabin, these items are outside of the cabin and same position of the cabin of S.D.P.O. Vasai.

Because of this, all the Sr. P.I. & S.D.P.O. are not doing field duty appropriately and comforting their selves in the cabin with illegal Air Conditions as a result of which crime rate are growing. The police stations are recording less crime by avoiding to register the crime. In fact, only 50% crimes are being registered. On the other hand all Judicial Magistrates & additional district Judges are sitting in their cabins without Air Conditions.

I hope you will register the F.I.R. and will seize all illegal Air Conditioners and will prosecute all officers who have either installed Air Condition or, are using the illegal Air Conditions, and recover the amount of electric bill which is paid by department for running illegal Air Conditions from the guilty officers.

Shocking but true......
INTERESTING ARTICLE ON OWNERSHIP OF MEDIA .....ONE MUST READ

Who owns the media in India?

Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.�

NDTV:�A very popular TV news media, which is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain, supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan . Indian CEO Pranoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters.�

India Today: Which used to be the only national weekly which supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.�

CNN-IBN:� This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its branches in all over the world with HQ in US.. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.�

Times group list:� Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust, Femina, Vijay Times, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more...
Times Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. 'World Christian Council' does 80 percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.

Star TV:� It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters Pontifical Church Melbourne.

Hindustan Times:� Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration with Times Group.

The Hindu:�English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne , Switzerland .. N. Ram's wife is a Swiss national.

Indian Express:� Divided into two groups. The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.

Eeenadu:�Still to date controlled by an Indian named Ramoji Rao. Ramoji Rao is connected with film industry and owns a huge studio in Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Jyothi:� The Muslim party of Hyderabad known as MIM along with a Congress Minister has purchased this Telugu daily very recently.

The Statesman:� It is controlled by Communist Party of India.�

Kairali TV:� It is controlled by Communist party of India (Marxist)

Mathrubhoomi:�Leaders of Muslim League and Communist leaders have major investment.

Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle:� Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.�

Gujarat riots which took place in 2002 where Hindus were burnt alive, � Rajdeep Sardesai and Bharkha Dutt working for NDTV at that time got around 5 Million Dollars from Saudi Arabia to cover only Muslim victims, which they did very faithfully...
Not a single Hindu family was interviewed or shown on TV whose near and dear ones had been burnt alive in Godra, it is reported.�
Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka.com�regularly gets blank cheques from Arab countries to target BJP and Hindus only, it is said.

The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners. The result is obvious...

�PONDER OVER THIS. NOW YOU KNOW WHY EVERY ONE IS AGAINST TRUTH, HOW VERY SAD.�

DON'T FORGET TO SHARE, LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN TO EVERYONE.

And we went home. And today i.e. 1/4/2010 while writing this complaint letter Mr. Anurodh Dube informed me that hawaldar told him “you take stolen property because Sr. P. I. told him to rafa-dafa entire matter and they have released one accused and not going to arrest to prime accused to Melwin furtado, and no further investigation will be carried out to identify two unknown more accused whom accused no 2 is telling.

Whatever we have written here in above are correct & true, and if your good office will ask to submit entire thing on affidavit I am ready to give it.

Therefore you are requested to order to register crime against all accused along two unknown with one identified by 2nd accused Bhangarwala as Melwin furtado and arrest them and matter may be investigated properly and may be proceeded as per law.

Therefore you are requested to register my complaint against guilty and take necessary action in the matter and protect myself from any false complaint by him or his aide.

I hope you will do the need full & oblige.

2- The Home Minister of Maharashtra Government, Maharashtra (With Request to take necessary action in the matter)

3 – The Home Minister of Government of India New Delhi (With Request to take necessary action in the matter)”


And it is also to bring your kind notice that After giving ample time to take action on officers of Maharashtra Police ( Concern with Thane Rural Police ) and not found any positive result, I decided to go on indefinite hunger Strike Before Tahsildar & Executive Magistrate Of Vasai Taluka District Thane from 15/04/2010 and intimated them vide my letter dated 7/4/2010, to invite their personal attention in the matter I started my agitation from 15/04/2010 to 02/05/2010 ,But No action was taken in the matter then I shifted my agitation Before Addl. S.P. Vasai on 3rd may 2010. On 4/5/2010 he ordered enquiry in the matter and on 22/5/2010 my complaint was found correct and an incomplete F.I.R. was registered under no. 00/2010 in Vasai Police station and subsequently it was transferred to Manikpur police station and registered F.I.R. No. I 170/2010 but the police failed to register F.I.R. as per my Complaint letter dated 22/5/2010 & 23/5/2010 and on my verbal protest was told that they will cover mistakes in F.I.R. In further investigation.

But during investigation I. O. Mr. B. S. Pardeshi P.S.I. of Virar Police station denied to record my statement against Police and told, his Sr.P.I. Mr. Y.R. Bagwan who told the same then I met New S.P. Thane Rural Mr. Vishwas Nagre Patil and told entire complaint he told that he will not record any Statement or F.I.R. Against police personnel and he did the same, then I decided to protest for Not initiating action even after a long duration of more than Five Months of the date of Crime , as well as Not Full Filling Promises Made By Ex. Superintendent Of Police Thane Rural Mr. Madhukar Panday At The Office Of addl. S.P. Vasai on 21/5/2010 at about 6.20 PM After Having 39 days agitation Including 9 days Hunger Strike. (Kindly See My Letter Dated 23-05-2010 Addressed To Addl. S.P. Vasai) and once again I was forced to go on One day agitation (Hunger strike) on 15-08-2010 (Independence Day) before The S. P. Thane Rural outside the Office of S.D.P.O. Vasai, as well as One Day agitation (Hunger strike) on 08/09/2010 before I.G. Konkan Range but no action is being taken in the matter Only False assurance are being Made. And Once Again on 10/11/2010 I was forced to proceed on agitation i.e. one day hunger strike outside the office of The Director General of Police Maharashtra to remind him to take action against All Culprits as per Judgment Given By Hon, ble Supreme Court In the case of Lalita Kumari Vs Govt. Of Uttar Pradesh and Ors. Reported in (2008) 7 SCC 164, and by the Full Bench of Hon’ble High Court Bombay in the case of Panchabhai Popat Bhai Butani and Ors. Vs State of Maharashtra And Others, Reported at 2010(1) Mh.L.J. Page No. 421, as well as Circular Issued by Office of the D.G. Law & Order Maharashtra Vide Their Letter No. R-28 Dated 1-9-2008.

On 26/01/2011 I also had One day agitation Before Hon,ble President of India , at Janter Manter , New Delhi, But no use of it as no action have been initiated till date , as such president Secretariats are not bothered to read contents of the letter.

Then I gave one application Under RTI act. I came to know A Report Has been send To S.P. Thane Rural on 13/8/2010 vide Jawak Kr. : Vachak / Vachai/Po Ni/6582/2010 By S.D.P.O. Vasai, In report he confirmed My maximum allegations as per my letter Dated 1/4/2010 & 6/4/2010 and Found Guilty the police Officers and Recommended Legal action On guilty Officer and also admitted Recovery Of stolen goods Value of Rs. 50000/- As well as Copy of Reports By Addl. S.P. Vasai dated 15/08/2010 And S.P. thane Rural dated 2/8/2010/11/12/2010 confirm the same But no action is being initiated against Guilty Police Officers and Sr. Officer are trying to destroy the matter by passing time and to harass me .

And On 13/8/2010 One Accused Of F.I.R. No. I 170/2010 arrested and shown recovery of Goods of value of Rs. 2600/- on 16/8/2010 on remand report of the Investigation Office, inspite of this Report of S.D.P.O. Vasai says Recovery of goods Approximate Rs. 50,000/-

And also I came to Know that My signature are rubbed on F.I.R, register by putting white ink on the same in order to destroy the evidences for which I have submitted a detail affidavit dated 07/01/2011 along with my letter dated 10/01/2011 to the Superintendent of police thane Rural For Registering F.I.R. But no action till date in the matter. Copy letter attached here with and marked as ANNEXURE: “A”

Thus they are helping accused as not registering F.I.R. And Destroying the Evidence in order to save Ex. Sr.P.I. Manikpur police station Mr. Ashok Pawar, Constable Subhas Goilkar, Constable S.S. Wagh, and P.S.I. Mr. Y.K. Chaure along With accused in F.I.R.

As well as involve in Contempt Of Court by disobeying the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court Passed in the Matter Of Lalita Kumari V/s Govt.

After Passing a long period on 15/11/2010 I addressed one Petition To Her Excellency President of India, to grant permission to prosecute above said officers And To seek protection From them Which is Registered on 15/11/2010 Vide No. PRSEC/E/2010/17605, And Very Next Day I was Informed That Petition Is Transferred to Secretary (AR and O&M) General Administration Dept., Govt. Of Maharashtra, after a weak when I contacted Concern department I am told& surprised to hear that it will take more than 90 days for reaching petition From Your Good Office to him. Further I manage to send copy of petition on 16/12/2010 to Mr. Nand Kumar Jantre (I.A.S.) Secretary (AR and O&M) General Administration Depts., Govt. Of Maharashtra, and same is acknowledged by them on 18/12/2010 But No action till date, It is nothing But to time pass in order to harass applicant as well as giving slow poison to Finish The Matter By above said Officer. As they know How Our Administration & Judiciary Works In our Country and They are taking Undue advantage of it for Making Money As well as Dictating Illegal Plans as Hitler By organizing Them Selves.

And They Or their Agent May involve themselves to Murder me, or murder may be converted in to false accident as well as they may arrest me in false cases, as I am being threatened through their agents. As you all being the responsible towards Constitution Kindly Protect My Life and liberty as well as fundamental Rights. And give the Permission to prosecute above mentioned officers in various Courts Of Law as I have sufficient Evidence Against them. And Please fulfill my Lawful Demands, If anything Happen to my life and Liberty The above mention officers May be held responsible For The same And After My murder or attempt to murder Adv. Robert Dabre will proceed On my Behalf as my authority.

In spite Of My lot of requests and agitations I was denied to deliver Justice By above said so called Public servants and feel that,

Whether our country has two Laws one for so called Public Servants another for Common Man?

And under Which Law Police are empowered To Investigate Matter without Registering the Crime?

And Why It will take more than 90 Days to reach Petition From Rastrapati Bhawan to office of The Secretary in General Administration of Govt. of Maharashtra?

And whether Law is equal for prosecuting above mention Public Servants as they have not discharged his basic Duties?

And what is option/ Remedy available Before General Public/Aam Aadmi when I.P.S., I.A.S. ,Politicians, Goondas , along with lower Judiciary (Up to District labels ) are club in hand and executing their illegal plans for snatching Money and saving each other ?

Justification statement for demand no. 1 is:

When I am as complainant would like to register F.I.R. and also having circumstantial evidence to show that Ex. P.I. Manikpur was Criminal conspirator in theft followed by taking illegal force full possession, as well as report dated 13/08/2011 of Sub. Divisional Police officer, Vasai (Dy. S.P.) submitted to The Addl. S.P. Vasai & S.P. Thane Rural police says that Ex. Senior P. I. Manikpur Mr. Ashok Pawar is guilty along with others, and same thing found in report of Addl. S.P. to S.P. Thane Rural and S.P. Thane Rural to Spl. Inspector general of Police, konkan Range. Then it is necessary that Demand No. 1 must be fulfilled as per law.

Justification statement for demand no. 2 is:

When it is established that Ex. Sr. P.I. is guilty then also above sr. Officers are protecting him as He is Big corrupt and posted at present As Sr. P.I. of Murbad Police station , Under Thane Rural Police and sharing Black Money to his Seniors and acting as dictator and making illegal money By breaking Law . Therefore Ex. Sr. P.I. Manikpur must be suspended followed by termination from service after following due process of Law.

Justification statement for demand no. 3 is:

Without proper statement of complainant one how can investigate matter as well as without registering case how can police officer investigate the matter and when applicant again and again informing the police officer about destruction of evidence but above said officer did not pay any heed to request of the complainant and fail to discharge their basic duties. As well as fail to answer the Question of Complainant in respect to the Crime.

Justification statement for demand no. 4 is:

No free and fair investigation was carried out by Police Officer, whatever action was done till date, just to save Criminal Ex. Sr. P.I. Manikpur Mr. Ashok Pawar as he was good black money manager along with other accused’s.

Justification statement for demand no. 5 is:

When S.D.P.O. Vasai, Addl. S.P. Vasai, and S.P. Thane Rural Police have found guilty to ex Sr. P.I. Manikpur then also any above said all officers are not keen to take action as per law Or interested to register F.I.R. in spite of many request from the complainant ,thus helping the accused and also involve in making black money, and doing illegal activity by legal way to keep happy their political bosses as well as goonda and don of underworld and advising the common man to approach the Court, with due respect to all Hon’ble Courts, I say that, because they know a common man cannot get order from the court in his life (as courts are delivering the judgments in average 15 years after the date of filing the case in the courts ). Kindly note that A senior Citizen (age approximate 70 Years) & social activist Mr. Panna lal S.S. approached Hon’ble Bombay High court in similar matter vide case No. 1533/2008, Hon’ble Bombay High Court rightly Directed to approach the magistrate court under sec. 156 (3) of Cr. P. C. and he did the same Under Cri. Case No.1300065/2010 but after passing a long time Hon’ble Magistrate fail to provide Justice as well as Manikpur Police fail to file single report in this case till date. After getting frusteted Mr. Panna Lal has Filed application for permission to commit suicide that is still pending as well as no Justice for him till date.

Further please also note a criminal syndicate has developed in our country by joining hands I.A.S., I.P.S. and politicians along with few big Business man and Gonads including few Judges up to lower court & District Court. I have concrete information about Mr. Param Veer Singh I.P.S. Spl. I.G. Konkan Range ,that he has worked & Working for gangster Chhota Rajan , Maximum encounter done by him during his tenure as D.C.P. Crime ,Mumbai Police as well as S.P. Thane Rural Police was feck and in order to snatch black money from the gangsters. And Ex. D.G.P. Maharashtra Mr. D. Shivanandan I.P.S. was also working for Chhota Rajan and has made Carores of Rs. As black money. When I started to gather evidence by using Right to information Act. It is being denied to give information in order to save each other and my applications are still pending in 2nd appeal since long back. And no Notice is issued till date.

Justification statement for demand No. 6 is:

Provision of Bombay police Act. Violating the fundamental right of Common public & govt. is misusing the act. Sply. Sec. 37(3) not to allow silent protest of a suffered man. In this regard once again I would like to bring Social activist & Sr. Citizen Mr. Panna Lal In picture; lots of case have been registered against him under this act. for making silence legal protest against in justice with him. And he got clean cheat in few cases and other or pending in court. And he is forced to fight his case his own as he has no money to give Advocates. And before a year Govt. Maharashtra took a decision to remove all cases under Bombay Police act. Pending in the courts of Politicians, but no one bothered about common Man. Therefore it is necessary to remove this act. As it is violating provision of constitution and snatching fundamental right of Common Man.

Justification statement for demand No.7, 8, 9, & 10 is:

As for concern of Sec. 19 of Prevention of corruption act. & Sec. 197 of Cr. P. C. it is violating the principal of equality of constitution of India. And public authorities are also misusing provision of the act. And I myself have requested for permission to prosecute the above said officers on 15/11/2010 from Hon’ble President of India but no action in the matter till date and every I.P.S. / I.A.S. officers are in try to save his friends, and corrupt officers are acting as per his own choice not as per Law and officers who are for public welfare are walking in A.C. cars and using AC offices from black money which not allowed to them. Therefore system must be changed. If we will go punish one culprit another will act same as earlier. A strict action required to show them that law is equal for everyone and common public is your actual boss.

Please note That My agitation Will be peace full with In Ambit Of Law and as per article 19 of constitution of India, But Corrupt Above named So called Public Servants And Their Agent may create Nuisance and Arrest Me in False cases as they Are working as Criminals In Uniforms, in that Situations My indefinite Hunger strike Will resume and I will Not apply for Bail and Hunger strike Will Continue in Jail also till my Lawful demands are fulfilled. And whatever I have stated about Judiciary it is depends upon facts and circumstances with due respect to all Hon’ble Courts.


Therefore you are requested to help to the common man by fulfilling his demands from which large section of general public will be benefitted.

I hope all of you will do the needful & oblige.

Thanking You,

Yours Faithfully

Therefore there are big chances to destroying evidences & Collapse the case.

Keeping in mind above said facts I hereby request you to consider following issues for investigation in above said matter:

1. How Ashok Uddhyar became arabpati with in short time, as he is not doing any business?

2. Why he is only taking care of all expenditure of so called Vasai Virar Print & electronic Media Association, as none of members are paid press Reporter?

3. From which money he is running his news Paper containing 12 pages without any advertisement as monthly expenditure of his paper is Rs. 3.00 Lakhs ?

4. What is the need to pay Hapta to the police Officers of Manikpur Police Station?

5. Why he is provided free residence to the staff of Manikpur Police Station?

6. How his wife expired?



If your good office advice to Mr. Ashok B. Uddhyavar to do narco test on above issue and he does agree the same then everything will be crystal clear , and after his Norco test on above said issues including the contents of F.I.R.

2. To be referred to Reporter or not? Yes
3. Whether the judgment should be
reported in the Digest? Yes
Hon’ble Mr. Justice S. Ravindra Bhat (Open Court)
%
1. Issue Rule. With consent of counsel for parties, heard counsel for the parties.
2. The petitioner is aggrieved by an order dated 29.5.2006 by which the Central Information Commission (CIC) dropped penalty proceedings under Section 20 of the Right to Information Act, 2005.
3. The facts, briefly, are that the petitioner sought information through an application dated 29.11.2005, in respect of service rules of the South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL). It is undisputed that despite the application, he did not receive any response; he was constrained to
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 2
prefer an appeal which was of no avail. He, therefore, approached the CIC on 16.3.2006, by way of a second appeal. On 27.3.2006, the CIC made the following order: -
“At the very start we must adversely observe the manner in which this case has been handled by the public authority. The information asked for should be common knowledge and is suitable for suo moto disclosure u/s 4 (1) of the Act. Had an effort been made to conform to this provision, the public authority, the appellant and this Commission would have been saved much time and expense.
We have examined the file and heard both parties. We find that the applicant has not been given the information that he has sought, not even the promotion rules, except a copy of the seniority list, which was attested and certified by the PIO during the hearing. The Appellate Authority has failed to apply his mind to the appeal and dismissed it having been told that the information and been supplied, without caring to confirm this with the appellant or indeed giving him a chance to be heard which together with there being no evidence of the AA’s decision having been received by the appellant arouses the suspicion that this decision was only an afterthought in the apprehension that the applicant might go in appeal.
The South Eastern Coalfields Ltd is directed to provide all the information asked for by the appellant to him within fifteen working days from the date of issue of this Decision Notice. We accept the plea of PIO Mitra that because he was not the principal supplier of the information, the officer whose assistance he has sought under Sec 5 (4) namely GM (P&A) is liable to bear responsibility for the delay and therefore deemed refusal to provide the information sought. He will therefore show cause by April 20, 2005 as to why a penalty of Rs 25,000 should not be imposed upon him.
This appears an egregious case of neglect of responsibility. A copy of this Decision may therefore be sent to the Secretary Coal in the Government of India, and to the Department of Personnel & Training for their record and initiation of remedial action.
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.”
3. It is an undisputed fact that on 10.4.2006, the third respondent company caused a letter to be issued (a copy of which has been produced in these proceedings), revealing the nature of
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 3
information sought. It was specifically stated that no seniority list had been issued in the year 2004-2005. Apparently, a copy of this letter was furnished during the course of proceedings, before the CIC. On the next date of hearing, i.e., 29.5.2006, the CIC considered the explanation of the “deemed PIO”, i.e. the sixth respondent –(since the designated CPIO had required another officer i.e. Shri S.P. Chaubey, GM (Personnel and Administration) to collect and furnish the information, for convenience, a step which is permissible under the Act) – for appropriate response to the queries. The notice was specifically in terms of Section 19 (8), calling upon the sixth respondent to show cause why penalty ought not to be imposed. During the course of hearing, the CIC noted that there was indeed a late response to the query made on 29.11.2005 which was eventually answered after the petitioner had approached it (the CIC) and in fact during the course of the proceedings. It also held sixth respondent culpable and directed departmental proceedings against him. However, it discharged the notice and did not impose any penalty under Section 20. The relevant part of the CIC’s findings are as follows: -
“The appellant’s case is that the information said to have been provided to him was not actually attached with the letter stating that the information was attached. The PIO was asked to hand over the attachments on the spot which he did. GM (P&A) SP Chaubey, treated as CPIO u/s 5(5) has stated that the SECL has no clues governing this procedure but only established practice, termed “Niyam” in Hindi, the language used in the response to the appellant’s application. Regarding this the full information has been provided and there are no seniority rules to provide. Appellant has every right to agitate the SECL have such rules, but this Commission is not the competent authority to take a decision on such a matter. However, under Sec 19(3) we direct SECL to publish for the information of all its employees, the established current practice for considering promotion, preferably on the internet in keeping with Sec 4(1) of the Act.
Respondents denied that the public authority had taken any vindictive action against the appellant, and had issued no order of suspension but only served a charge sheet not related to the appeal. We have examined the charge sheet, a copy of which has been received only recently. There is indeed no specific mention of information supplied to the Commission, but the Charge Sheet charges the appellant
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 4
with not having taken recourse to remedies available within the public authority and instead sought to depend on ‘outside sources’. Given the timing of the charge sheet i.e. shortly after the Decision of the Commission on 27/3/’06, and that the appellant, as stated in the hearing and not contested, never had to face disciplinary procedures throughout his service in SECL, the suspicion is aroused that, although denied by the GM(P&A) in his counter to the allegations vide letter No. SECL/BSP/GM(P&A)/’2006/1/716 of 19.5.’06, the action taken is indeed related with the CIC being identified as an ‘outside source’. Although no penal action is proposed on this ground therefore, the public authority will take note of this and ensure that the appellant is not victimized for his action in seeking what is his right under law. This may also be brought to the notice of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, which will ensure that safeguards are provided in every public authority under its jurisdiction to protect bonafide interests of applicants under the Act at all levels.
In our Decision of 27/3/’06 we had asked Chaubey treated as PIO, to show cause by April 20, 2005 as to why a penalty of Rs.25,000 should not be imposed upon him. In response deemed CPIO SP Choubey has replied vide his No.SECL/BSP/GM(P&A)/2006/PIO/447 of 12/4/’06 that the information sought has been provided and penal proceedings be dropped. Under Proviso to Sec 20(1), the burden of proving that he acted reasonably and diligently shall be on the CPIO. In this case, the information available with the public authority has been provided now, it must be noted that no reasonable cause for delay stands established as to why it was not supplied as per the law in the first instance, although the appellate authority has pleaded ill health which we accept in his case. Because this is the first case of its kind from the public authority, we do not propose a financial penalty. However, disciplinary action against GM(P&A) SP Choubey is recommended u/s 20 (2), SECL will initiate such action under the Service Rules applicable to him, which could include but need not remain restricted to issue of a warning for dereliction of duty.
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.”
5. The petitioner contends that after having noted about the burden of proving that the concerned individual or public officer had acted diligently, being on the individual, and further holding that there was no reasonable cause for the delay, the CIC fell into error in not imposing the penalty and in merely recommending disciplinary action. In addition to attacking the order as arbitrary and unjustified, the petitioner contends that he had to shockingly face a charge-sheet, and even though he has now been promoted, the third respondent has not indicated that the charge-sheet has been dropped. The petitioner contends that the allegation in the
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 5
charge sheet was his (the petitioner’s) dereliction in filing an application, under the Act, and eliciting information outside of the organization’s channels. It is submitted that this allegation, besides being unfounded, undermines the purpose of the Act, which does not require any individual or applicant to demonstrate locus standi. So long as information is in the form mandated, and is not exempted from disclosure, everyone has the right to access it, whether he is related to the organization holding the information or not.
6. The third respondent, in reply, and through its counsel, Ms. Yogmaya Agnihotri, contends that action recommended by the CIC was indeed taken and that departmental proceedings were initiated against the sixth respondent. In this regard it is stated as follows: -
”xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
XXIII) That the averments in paragraph 4 (XXIII) are denied and under reply it is submitted that regarding the letter dated 14-11-2006 of respondent no.6 it is stated that he has been held guilty for giving false information and accordingly has been served a memorandum under CDA Rules of 1978 of CIL. Furthermore an Enquiry Officer has also been appointed for holding an inquiry into the charges levelled against respondent no. 6 as per the service rules/ conditions of CIL. Hence it is not at all true that SECL Management/ Ministry of Coal have not taking any action against respondent no.6 based on the respondent no.1 decision.
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx”
7. The third respondent has not questioned the order of the CIC. The sixth respondent who entered appearance, in the proceedings and filed a reply does not dispute the order. He too submits that disciplinary action has been initiated against him. It is submitted that in the overall conspectus of the facts, this Court should desist from making any adverse order since the departmental proceedings are pending, as any order would adversely impact upon his (the sixth respondent’s) service records.
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 6
8. The above discussion would show that though the petitioner had applied for information on 29.11.2005, he was made to wait and forced to file appeals to first appellate authority and later to the CIC. The internal processes, within the third respondent corporation, apparently were insensitive to the queries elicited and eventually after the CIC issued notice, did the third respondent furnish the information. It was in these circumstances that CIC issued notice to the PIO calling upon him why penal action should not be taken. That delay occurred, beyond the stipulated period in furnishing information is self evident. Both the orders dated 27.3.2006 and 29.5.2006 categorically record that there was delay. The only question, therefore, was whether after issuing notice and hearing the concerned deemed PIO - the sixth respondent, the CIC acted within its jurisdiction in not imposing the penalty of Rs.25,000/-.
9. Section 20, which is the provision enabling the CIC to impose penalty, reads as follows: -
“20. Penalties.-(1) 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, refused 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 impose a penalty of two hundred and fifty rupees each day till application is received or information is furnished, so however, the total amount of such penalty shall not exceed twenty-five thousand rupees:
Provided that the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall be given a reasonable opportunity of being heard before any penalty is imposed on him:
Provided further that the burden of proving that he acted reasonably and diligently shall be on the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be.
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 7
(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.”
10. A close and textual reading of Section 20 itself reveals that there are three circumstances, whereby a penalty can be imposed i.e.
(a) Refusal to receive an application for information;
(b) Not furnishing information within the time specified; and
(c) Denying mala fidely the request for information or knowingly given incorrect, incomplete or misleading information for destroying information that was the subject matter of the request.
Each of the conditions is prefaced by the infraction “without reasonable cause”. The CIC in its second impugned order dated 29.5.2006 clearly recorded that the 6th respondent did not furnish any reasonable cause for the delay and that this fact stood “established”. It desisted from imposing the penalty which it was undoubtedly competent to under Section 20 (1). It, however, recommended that action should be taken against the concerned Public Information Officer i.e. the sixth respondent under Section 20 (2). That part of the order is not in dispute.
11. Now, it is a well established proposition that a Tribunal – as the CIC un-deniedly is - can be corrected in exercise of judicial review jurisdiction by the High Court, if it fails to exercise jurisdiction lawfully vested in it or acts beyond its jurisdiction, an expression that includes
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 8
acting contrary to the provisions of law, or established principles of law or the Constitution. This proposition has been in existence for half a century since Hari Vishnu Kamat v. Ahmad Ishaque AIR 1955 SC 233, where the Supreme Court declared the parameters of judicial review against orders of quasi judicial bodies, and tribunals. These were explained in the later judgment, in Surya Dev Rai v. Ram Chander Rai 2003 (6) SCC 675, in the following terms:
"....... the High Court was not justified in looking into the order of December 2, 1952, as an appellate court, though it would be justified in scrutinizing that order as if it was brought before it under Article 226 of the Constitution for issue of a writ of certiorari. The limit of the jurisdiction of the High Court in issuing writs of certiorari was considered by this Court in Hari Vishnu Kamath v. Ahmad Ishaque 1955-IS 1104 : ((S) AIR 1955 SC 233) and the following four proposition were laid down :-
"(1) Certiorari will be issued for correcting errors of jurisdiction;
(2) Certiorari will also be issued when the Court or Tribunal acts illegally in the exercise of its undoubted jurisdiction, as when it decides without giving an opportunity to the parties to be heard, or violates the principles of natural justice;
(3) The court issuing a writ of certiorari acts in exercise of a supervisory and not appellate jurisdiction. Once consequence of this is that the court will not review findings of fact reached by the inferior court or tribunal, even if they be erroneous.
(4) An error in the decision or determination itself may also be amenable to a writ of certiorari if it is a manifest error apparent on the face of the proceedings, e.g., when it is based on clear ignorance or disregard of the provisions of law. In other words, it is a patent error which can be corrected by certiorari but not a mere wrong decision."
12. The Court while considering a complaint about the Tribunal infracting its bounds has to be alive to the fact that primary discretion in such cases is with the statutory Tribunal. At the same time, once it is established that the Tribunal, for no apparent reason, either exceeded its
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 9
jurisdiction or failed to exercise jurisdiction lawfully vested in it, the High Court would be justified in interfering with its orders.
13. In this case, order dated 29.5.2006 as well as the previous order of 27.3.2006 establishes that the information sought was furnished after CIC issued its orders. Moreover, shockingly, the petitioner was issued with charge-sheet – a fact borne from the order dated 29.5.2007, for “not having taken recourse to the remedies available within the public authority”. In other words, the petitioner was sought to be proceeded against departmentally for the sin of approaching the PIO under the RTI Act, - a right guaranteed to him in law. In such cases, it is cold comfort for a litigant – such as the petitioner/applicant – who was driven to seek information, to approach the CIC, at Delhi, to be told that the erring official would be proceeded with departmentally especially after recording that the lapse i.e. the delay or even the unreasonableness of withholding of information was unjustified. The petitioner in effect was doubly deprived – in the first instance, of the information which was sought for, and secondly, he was exposed to an unjustified threat of enquiry. In these circumstances, even though the CIC recommended disciplinary action under Section 20 (2), its denial of any penalty order under Section 20, in the considered opinion of this Court, cannot be upheld.
14. As far as the sixth respondent’s contention regarding possible prejudice in his departmental enquiry is concerned, this Court feels that an order under Section 20 would not in any manner come in the way of his defenses, lawfully available to him in such proceedings. The sixth respondent is not denying the findings recorded in the order dated 29.5.2006; in fact he has not even challenged it. The court cannot be unmindful of the circumstances under which the Act was framed, and brought into force. It seeks to foster an “openness culture” among
WP (C) No.3845/2007 Page 10
state agencies, and a wider section of “public authorities” whose actions have a significant or lasting impact on the people and their lives. Information seekers are to be furnished what they ask for, unless the Act prohibits disclosure; they are not to be driven away through sheer inaction or filibustering tactics of the public authorities or their officers. It is to ensure these ends, that time limits have been prescribed, in absolute terms, as well as penalty provisions. These are meant to ensure a culture of information disclosure so necessary for a robust and functioning democracy.
15. In the above circumstances, Court is of the opinion that the impugned order to the extent it discharges the sixth respondent of the notice under Section 19 (8) and does not impose the penalty sought for has to be declared illegal. In this case, the penalty amount (on account of the delay between 28.12.2005 and the first week of May, 2006 when the information was given) would work out to Rs.25,000/-. The third respondent is hereby directed to deduct the same from the sixth respondent’s salary in five equal installments and deposit the amount, with the Commission.
16. In the circumstances of the case, the third respondent shall bear the cost of the proceedings quantified at Rs.50,000/- be paid to the petitioner within six weeks from today.
17. The Writ Petition is allowed in the above terms.
