a. Within five years, Mr. D.N.Padhi has received total amount of Rs. 1,92,228.00 towards medical expenses.
b. Mr. Jagadanand within four years has received Rs. 1, 35,299.00 towards medical expenses. In a single year( 2010-11), he has received highest amount of Rs. 94, 949.00 towards medical expenses.
c. Mr. Tarun Kanti Mishra has not received a single pie towards his medical expenses during two year of his tenure as SCIC.
With regard to photocopy of medicine Bill and prescription of doctors, the PIO has denied to provide this information on the ground that it would disportionately divert the resources under section 7(9) of the RTI Act. As I know, this is not the valid ground to deny this information. I feel the PIO has some malafide intention to deny this piece of information.
However, Sri Raghu Majhi is going to make first appeal to the 1st Appellate Authority, office of Odisha Information Commission under section 19(1) of the RTI Act to get the complete information.
