Prayer- Public information officer Denied information by taking recourse of Rule 4(2)(a). First April authority did not entertain the appeal so action must be taken both public information officer and first appellate authority.

Short submissions of the appellant are as follows.

1-  Most respected sir public information officer in the office of subdivisional magistrates Sadar denied information as follows. Section 4 (2) (a) of UTTAR PRADESH RIGHT TO INFORMATION RULES, 2015

Any request for obtaining information under the Act should fulfil

the following conditions:  The information sought should be a part of the record held by or under the control of the public authority concerned.

REQUEST REJECTED as on 23/10/2024

Reason for Rejection :- Rule 4(2)(a).

2- It is quite obvious that the public information officer denied the information by taking the recourse of Section 4 (2) (a) of UTTAR PRADESH RIGHT TO INFORMATION RULES, 2015.

3-From the status of the following online RTI application, it is quite obvious that the appellant submitted the online RTI application on 12th August 2024 Which was forwarded to the concerned public information officer on the same date and denied information on 23/10/2024 which means more than 2 months and 12 Days passed. Thus, we see that the public information officer violated subsection 1 of section 7 of the right to information act 2005 so action must be taken against the public information officer under section 20 of RTI Act 2005 for violating the provisions of RTI Act 2005

4- Most respected sir the appellant submitted the RTI application before the public authority Department of Urban Development which was forwarded to district magistrate Mirzapur on 12th August 2024. The following is the forwarded application of the appellant to district Mirzapur.

5- The following information sought by the appellant from the following public authority.

Description of Information Sought   E.O. Municipality Mirzapur city cum PIO may provide the information concerned with Sangmohal ward of current five years term until now.

1-Estimates of various development schemes.

2-Work booklet.

3-Total invoices.

4-Total fund granted to the aforementioned ward with a description of the scheme. Detail of public staffs who monitored the implementation of these works from site inspection to payment.

6- It is most unfortunate that public information officer instead of transferring the matter to the executive officer municipality Mirzapur city under subsection 3 of section 6 of the right to information act 2005, he preferred to dispose of it by denying information on the flimsy ground.

7- Thus, we see that denial of information by the public information officer of Tehsil Sadar by taking the recourse of the Section 4 (2) (a) of UTTAR PRADESH RIGHT TO INFORMATION RULES, 2015 is arbitrary and illegal.

8-Undoubtedly it is a precarious situation that the public information officer in the office of Sub divisional Magistrate Sadar Mirzapur could not understand the RTI application and rejected the application arbitrarily on the flimsy ground which is a mockery of the provisions of right to information act 2005.

9-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 because of corruption in the public offices provisions of this act are being violated time and again by the public information officers.

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-05/11/2024                      Yours sincerely
