[HumJanenge] M L SHARMA, CENTRAL INFO COMMISSIONER PREFERS COMPENSATION OVER PENALTY

PIO, Delhi Cantt. Board has not given any information to the applicant for over 100 days till date, even not attended the hearing at CIC pleading illness. FAA reportedly took on action on first appeal.  Central Information Commissioner Shri M L Sharma just imposed compensation of Rs. 2000/- payable to the applicant though it was a fit case for imposition of penalty. In the past, the PIO has not replied to RTIs of other applicants.  

Penalty is deducted from the pay of the PIO while the compensation goes from govt. exchequer. Why such lienency on the erring PIOs by the CIC?

In such cases, what is the suitable course of action.
