Prayer- Public information officer did
not entertain RTI application within time 30 days as prescribed under
subsection 1 of section 7 of the right to information act 2005 and still they
have not provided any information. First appellate authority is dealing the
same treatment with the appeal submitted by the appellant.
Short submissions of the appellant
are as follows.
1-From the following status of the
RTI application it is quite obvious that RTI application was submitted by the
appellant on 7th April 2024 which was forwarded to the concerned public
information officer on 6th May 2024 which is a mockery of the provisions of
right to information act 2005 and action must be taken against the nodal
officer of the department.
2- Most respected sir please take a
glance of the current status of the RTI application.
Registration Number CTRNS/R/2024/60091

the above mentioned officer for further details.
Nodal Officer Details
Name Shri
Sanjay Kumar Gupta
Email-ID cctco-up@nic.in
3-I think that the nodal officer of
the department is an incompetent and careless person who is taking the
submitted online RTI applications negligently. This must be considered by the
concerned responsible officers of the department. Most respected Sir when the
registered email and CUG mobile numbers of the public information officer and
the first appellate authority are not given on the RTI portal, then negligence
can be guessed from these facts.
4-According to subsection 3 of
section 6 of the right to information act 2005, RTI application is transferred
to the other public authority within one week from the date of receipt of the
RTI application but here more than one month was taken by the nodal officer to
transfer the RTI application to the concerned public information officer.
Moreover, the entire process was
online and nodal officer had to transfer the RTI application to the concerned
public information officer at the earliest and this dereliction to the duty is
only reflecting the mismanagement in the working of the nodal officer.
5- Most respected Sir, nodal officer
must provide the reason for not providing the email and official mobile number on
the RTI portal of the public information officer as well as first affiliate
authority and the name also which is essential as well as mandatory in
accordance with the guidelines passed by the Apex Court of India also in
compliance with the guidelines of the Department of administrative reform.
6-Here it is quite obvious that the
name, email and mobile number of the public information officer has not been
provided in the status of the RTI application which is a mockery of the
guidelines issued by the Department of administrative reform government of
Uttar Pradesh.
7-Right
to information act 2005 was introduced by the government of India during the
regime of Congress to promote transparency and accountability in the working of
the public authorities so that growing corruption in the working of public
authorities might be controlled but it seems that growing corruption in the
working of public authorities has overshadowed the provisions of right to
information act which is matter of concern.
Everyone
knows that corruption always benefits a small outfit so transparency and
accountability must be promoted in the government machinery but it seems that
the right to information act 2005 has been put into the dustbin by the
responsible officers in the state through conspiracy and cryptic working style.
8- The appellant sought
following information from the public information officer.
1- Please provide the name
of the medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the state government
or person authorised in this behalf by the state government.
2- Please provide the
designation and office details of the medical practitioner so that the
applicant can make contact to the staff of the government in order to avail a
medical certificate in order to facilitate a new driving licence to the
applicant.
3- The medical certificate
provided by the medical practitioner will be uploaded by the applicant as the
second upload on the Sarthi Portal of the government of India to get the
renewal of the driving licence.
Please provide the name of
the public authority in which the medical practitioner works.
This is a humble request of your
applicant to you Hon'ble Sir that how can it be justified to withhold public
services arbitrarily and promote anarchy, lawlessness, and chaos arbitrarily by
making the mockery of law of land? There is need of the hour to take harsh
steps against the wrongdoer to win the confidence of citizenry and strengthen
the democratic values for healthy and prosperous democracy. For this, your
appellant shall ever pray for you, Hon’ble Sir.
