    Central Information Commission

    CIC/AD/A/2009/000848

    Dated August 13, 2009

    Name of the Applicant : Shri Chetram Singh

    Name of the Public Authority : Dept. of Posts, Bijnour

    Background

    1. The Applicant filed an RTI application dt.29.11.08 with the CPIO, DoP,
    Bijnour. He requested for reasons for his promotion being denied to him after
    his service of 26 years. The CPIO replied on 1.1.09 stating that the DPC
    meeting for the BCR was held after the Applicant retired from service. . Not
    satisfied with the reply, the Applicant filed an appeal dt.28.1.09 with the
    Appellate Authority stating that he received the information late. The
    Appellate Authority replied on 6.3.09 stating that information was sent to the
    Appellant a second time on 14.1.09 and that there was no delay in furnishing
    the information. Aggrieved with this reply, the Applicant filed a second
    appeal dt.30.5.09 before CIC complaining about the delay in furnishing the
    information.

    2. The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner, scheduled the


    hearing for August 13, 2009.

    3. Mr.Rameshwar Dayal, SPOs; Mr.Wardev Singh, PRI(P); Mr.Krishan Chandra,


    ASP; Mr.Anil Kr. Singh, represented the Public Authority.

    4. The Applicant was not present during the hearing.

    Decision

    5. The Respondent submitted that the DPC meeting for BCR was held after the
    Appellant’s retirement and therefore his name could not be included in the
    promotee’s list. He stated that although the CPIO sent the information well
    within the stipulated period, he received a letter from the Appellant dated
    9.1.09 stating that he did not receive the reply to his RTI request and that the
    CPIO sent the information once again by registered post on 14.1.09. He
    added that there is no provision in the RTI Act which indicates that RTI replies
    should be sent by Registered/Speed Post and that his office sends the
    information by ordinary post since the CPIO has not received any
    instructions about mode of dispatching RTI information. He also added that it
    is not clear who is to be held responsible if RTI information is lost in
    transmission when sent by ordinary post. He also added that the RTI register
    maintained by his office has a record of the date of receipt of RTI request
    and the date on which the CPIO had dispatched the information by ordinary
    post, the first time.

    6. The Commission holds that complete information has been provided to the
    Appellant and directs the CPIO to send a copy of the relevant page from the
    RTI register indicating the date of dispatch of information the first time, to the
    Appellant, by 15 September, 2009 and accordingly disposes off the appeal.
