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.

In this case, the role of the nodal officer is very much negative.

  Nodal Officer Details 

Name           Shri Sanjay Kumar Gupta

Email-ID      cctco-up@nic.in

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 30th June 2024 which was forwarded to the concerned public information officer on 2nd September 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/2024/60196

Name  Yogi M P Singh

Date of Filing 30/06/2024

Status REQUEST FORWARDED TO PIO as on 02/09/2024

Details of PIO :- Telephone Number:- , Email Id:-

Note :- You are advised to contact the above mentioned officer for further details.

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 two 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- In the first page of the PDF document both old and new driving licence are available for taking perusal. 

In new driving licence you did not print the following address-

SUREKAPURAM COLONY, JABALPUR ROAD, MIRZAPUR-CUM-VINDHYACHAL(NPP),MIRZAPUR,UP

According to submitted online application for renewal of driving licence-

Present Address (shall be printed on Licence)

Public information officer must provide the reason for not printing the present address of the applicant on the renewed driving licence provided by the public authority currently. 

2- My earlier driving licence was sent at the address-SUREKAPURAM COLONY, JABALPUR ROAD, MIRZAPUR-CUM-VINDHYACHAL

(NPP),MIRZAPUR,UP

Public information officer must provide the reason for sending current driving licence at the address of Village-Nibi Gaharwar, Rampur Ghat Marg, Dist-Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh.

3- Provide the name and designation of the staff who processed the online application for the renewal of the driving licence of the applicant.

4- Provide the name and designation of the staff under whom monitoring processing of the renewal of driving licences takes place.

5- Please provide the reason for not taking perusal of the address proof given by the applicant, his aadhaar card having the current address of the applicant printed on earlier renewed driving license. Please take a glance at the second page of the attached PDF document.

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-07/10/2024                                                Yours sincerely
