Suggest some novel idea !

Artee Khosla's outburst seems to stem from disgust and frustration. Instead of appreciating the steps taken by the Delhi Govt, she is bent upon criticising. Why can't she suggest some novel idea if she is really bothered about the pollution level in Delhi. Does the Chief Justice, American Embassy in Delhi and other public luminaries who supports this move are fools.Just give a chance to experiment for 15 days. Arm chair critics will always find fault with the system instead of giving constructive suggestion.

DATE WITH RTI

Disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction and encroachment

Photocopy of entire case file of unauthorised construction of building was denied by the PIO, East Delhi Municipal Corporation on ground of being third party information. In his initial reply, the PIO provided contradictory information about whether the property has been sealed. The appellant stated that due to unauthorised construction on the above mentioned property, extensive damage was caused to his house. The respondent claimed that the sealing and de-sealing of any property is personal in nature. The CIC observed that disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction and encroachment does not require clearance from any third party. Looking into the circumstances of the case, the CIC granted a compensation of Rs. 25,000/- to be paid to the appellant u/s 19(8) (b) of the RTI Act. Further, a show cause notice was issued to the PIO as to why penalty should not be imposed on him u/s 20 RTI Act, 2005 for outright deliberate denial of information.

Comments

Sealing and de-sealing of any property is a part of official work. In a number of cases, the CIC has ruled that disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction of building and encroachment cannot be said to be personal information of the third party and as such, disclosure in such cases do not require clearance from any third party.
