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
also did not entertain the RTI appeal submitted by the appellant online.
Short
submissions of the appellant are as follows.
1-From the
following status of the RTI application it is quite obvious that the appellant
submitted the rti application on 23rd January 2024 which was forwarded by the
nodal officer to the concerned public information officer on 27th January 2024 whose
mobile number and email id are given below in the status of the rti
application.
2-It is 13th
July 2024 today which means more than 5 months passed but concerned public
information officer did not provide information to the information seeker and
most surprising thing is that the concerned public information officer did not
deem it fit to exchange communication with the appellant regarding the non-availability
of information to the appellant by the public information officer.
3- Most
respected sir please take a glance of the status of the RTI application
submitted by the appellant on the RTI portal of the government of Uttar
Pradesh.

Status REQUEST FORWARDED TO PIO as on

4-Now the
appellant wants to draw the kind attention of the first appellate authority to
subsection 1 of section 7 of the right to information act 2005 which prescribes
the time to provide information to the information seeker. According to this
provision of the right to information act 2005, a public information officer
has to provide information to the information seeker within stipulated 30 days
from the date of receipt of the rti application in the office of the public
authority.
5-Thus we
observe that the concerned public information officer violated subsection one
of section 7 of the right to information act 2005 so pecuniary penalty must be imposed
against the public information officer concerned under section 20 of the right
to information act 2005, as well as the public information officer must be
directed to provide information to the appellant as soon as possible.
6-The
right to information act 2005 was introduced by the government of India to
promote transparency and accountability in the working of the public
authorities, but it is most unfortunate after 19 years of the implementation of
the right to information act 2005, public information officers are not
providing any information to the information seekers except in a few cases.
This is a
humble request of the appellant to the first appellate authority to take
appropriate action in the matter as required under the law.
7-The
appellant is seeking information concerning the compliance of the government
order regarding the voluntary disclosure of assets by the provincial civil
servants on the sparrow portal of the government, but it seems that the
concerned public information officer did not understand the contents of the rti
application which is itself a matter of concern.
8- Most respected sir the appellant sought
following information from public information officer.
1-Provide the name and designation of the staff who disclosed the
assets voluntarily up to 31 January 2024.
2- Provide the name and
designation of the staff who did not disclose their assets voluntarily by 31st
January 2024.
3- Provide the action taken by
commissioner of police, district Prayagraj regarding the government order dated
4th January 2024.
4- Provide the copy of the
communications exchanged with the subordinates by the commissioner of police
district Prayagraj in compliance with the government order concerning
disclosure of assets voluntarily.
5- Provide the name and
resignation of the staff who is processing this government order in the office
of Commissioner of police district Prayagraj.
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.
Date-13/07/2024
Yours sincerely.
