Re: Re: [HumJanenge] Bikaner district collector set new trend by penalising defaulting PIOs by 1000/- each

This is totally illegal and just praising for illegal action is uncalled for, there is no provision in RTI Act to do such voilative things showing himself to be a Messiah. Only he could do was to call for an internal departmental enquiry under service rule as RTI Act is work under service rule. Central govt and many state govt have taken GRs for to call for an departmental enquiry if the PIOs don't adder to RTI act and/or if appellate authority is not of that position then as appellate authority he need to inform the concerned higher ups to call for the departmental enquiry and this need to be entered service record, this can be prayed in 1st appeal prcess. and this will be of very much use full as substantiating matter for 2nd appeal with IC. 1st appellate authority can recommend to IC for penalising the PIO. Even  if the information is ordered to be given by Ist appellate authority, penalty part can be appealed with IC as delay matter remains pending. I feel PIO should go IC by appeal and ist appalate authority should be educated on this matter.

 

PIO need not go to court but need to be complain to IC and leave the matter to IC PIO can apeal for censoring of 1st appellate authority. In Maharstra in the beginning many AA were doing these wrong things but we tell in each of the workshop that ist appellate authority does not have any right to levy penalty under RTI but they can levy penalty under their provision service rules after calling a enquiry for wrong conduct or work deficiency.
