Dear friends

On 19.5.2011, I had  submitted RTI Application  to the PIO, Office of Directorate, State Vigilance, Odisha  seeking information about details of  vigilance cases  filed  against IAS officers . The information sought for as follows.

a. Please provide  name of IAS Officers against  whom  vigilance charges  has been filed  by Vigilance Dept during 2001-2010

b. What are the  charges of allegations  leveled against them by Vigilance.

C. Please provide the information about  name of IAS officers  against whom the Vigilance has sought  permission  from State Govt.  to charge sheet them.

d.  Please provide the information  about details of permission granted  by Govt.  to file  charge-sheet  against the IAS officers and their names. 

The PIO supplied  the information of first three points  and  refused  to provide the information of  fourth one  on the ground of section 8 (1)(h) of the RTI Act. The said provision stipulates that "Information which would impede  the process of investigation  or apprehension  or prosecution of offenders can not  be supplied" .

  Finding  incomplete information,  I made  Complaint  to Odisha Information Commission  on dated 25.7.2011 appealing   to Commission to provide  me information and take punitive action against the PIO  for  denial of information.

 

After 8 months, Mr. Tarun Kanti Mishra, State Chief Information Commissioner remanded my case ( CC No- 3010/2011)  on 15.3.2012 to  the 1st Appellate Authority, office of Director, Vigilance, Cuttack to dispose the case. The Inspector General of Police-cum- 1st Appellate Authority, Vigilance  heard the case,  dismissed  the  plea of section  8(1)(h)  of RTI Act  as ground for denial of information taken  by the  PIO  and  provided the following  information on 10.4.2012.
