FACTS:
CIC/SA/A/2014/000024
2. Appellant through his RTI application dated 07032013 had sought for information on 3 Points from PIO/Ministry of Law & Justice Viz (a) the name and designation of Officers of Staff who had been posted in the Office of the Solicitor General Of India from 01012008 till date of providing the information. Please provide the copy of their appointment orders and after that the inspection of the relevant files, documents including date receipt registers for relevant period. (b)He has also asked for datewise details of all types of Leaves of the officers mention in (a) above from 01012010 till the date of the providing of the information, the copy of the leave application along with permission/sanctions thereon, (c) the dates on which the APAR in relation of the officers mentioned in (a) above had been received in the office of the Ministry of Law, (d) the name and designation of the reporting officers and reviewing officers for such APAR. Having received no reply within the prescribed period, the appellant preferred First Appeal on 02052013. PIO responded on 16052013 attaching the reply. PIO also stated that there was some unintentional and inadvertent delay in furnishing the information which was regretted. First Appellate Authority has upheld on 03092013 the information provided by the PIO. After the FAA Order, appellant also received two faxes from Dept of Legal affairs concerning the tours of Solicitor General of India. Being unsatisified with the information provided and complaining against the lack of opportunity for appearance before the FAA, the appellant has approached the Commission in Second Appeal.
CIC/SA/A/2014/000251
3. Appellant had filed a RTI application dated 21102013 to PIO, Ministry of Law & Justice had sought for following information : a. Please provide the RTI application register and appeal register with ID No./Ref No. allotted to each of the RTI applications/RTI appeal received from 192012. If manual register is not maintained then digital date may be provided on the CD. PIO replied on 21112013 denying the information sought by the appellant on the ground that the information sought will disappropriately divert the resources U/S 7 (9) of the RTI act. Being unsatisified with the information furnished, the appellant had approached FAA with First Appeal dated 29112013. FAA by his Order dated 26122013 upheld the reply provided by PIO. Claiming nonsatisfaction with the information furnished, the appellant has approached the Commission in Second Appeal.
CIC/SA/C/2014/000018
4. Complainant had filed a RTI application dated 21102013 to PIO, Ministry of Law & Justice and had sought for following information : a. Please provide the RTI application register and appeal register with ID No./Ref No. allotted to each of the RTI applications/RTI appeal recieved from 192012. If manual register is not maintained then digital date may be provided on the CD. PIO replied on 21112013 denying the information sought by the Complainant on the ground that the information sought will disappropriately divert the resources U/S 7 (9) of the RTI act. Being unsatisified with the information furnished, the Complainant had approached FAA with First Appeal dated 29112013. Complainant has approached the Commission U/s 18 of RTI Act with the prayer that CPIO has deliberately and malafidely provided incomplete and incorrect information.
5. Both the parties made their submissions.
CIC/SA/A/2014/000024
6. The appellant submitted: “The CPIO has neither provided any information nor responded to his RTI application. Hence he had filed the First Appeal, after which the CAPIO, by her letter dated 1652013 responded to the RTI application by providing incomplete, incorrect and misleading information. FAA vide his order dated 392013 rejected the appeal. Subsequently, he had received two faxes from the Department of Legal Affairs, containing incomplete and incorrect information. The appellant contended that, the FAA having rejected the first appeal, the CPIO cannot do any correspondence by way of giving piecemeal information. From the FAA order, it is seen that FAA had summoned the records from the CPIO and decided the case without even sending a hearing notice to the appellant. The FAA also stated that no further hearing was necessary, but summoned records and perused them, which contradicts the claim that hearing was not done. It means FAA heard the appeal at the back of the appellant. This is against the principles of natural justice. The FAA also used the expression like “it appears” etc, which only means that her decision is based on the assumption and the CPIO was directed to give information asked by the appellant again. FAA gave these findings under the heading ‘Observations” implying these observations as her decision. The said FAA, Dr.Gita Rawat has since retired and reemployed as Consultant looking after the same work. After the appellant filed Second Appeal, the Respondent authority wrote to the appellant offering inspection of the record. The appellant contended that offering inspection to him at that time was improper, after the FAA had concluded the appeal. This letter is simply an afterthought only, to stall the Second appeal. The appellant wrote back to the respondent authority stating that inspection of record cannot be a ‘precondition’ for supplying the documents he asked for. He wanted the leave details of the officers except of those of Group D employees, working in the Learned AG’s office from the period from 112010 to the date of his application. There may not be attendance details, but leave record is certainly available.”
7. The CPIO Mr. K.G.Thang has presented the desired information including for Class IV, to the appellant during the hearing. The Commission observes that there is a delay in furnishing the information. It is also observed that the office of CPIO having received at CAPIO, the information from the concerned division, that was sent to the appellant after one and half months. The Commission, therefore, directs the CPIO/CAPIO [Mr. Nirmal Singh/Mr. R.S.Verma, who handled the RTI application and first appeal] to show cause why penalty cannot be imposed on them for not furnishing the information within 30 days and for their lack of clarity and consistency in supplying information, and taking delayed decision to offer inspection only after 2nd appeal and after FAA concluded the case against the appellant. Their explanation should reach the Commission within 3 weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
8. The Commission also notes that the way the first appeal was conducted by the FAA is wrong and illegal for want of compliance with the principles of natural justice and violation of Section 19(6) An appeal under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) shall be disposed of within thirty days of the receipt of the appeal or within such extended period not exceeding a total of forty-five days from the date of filing thereof, as the case may be, for reasons to be recorded in writing. of the RTI Act, wherein time limit is prescribed as 45 days. FAA went on hearing without issuing hearing notice to the appellant and concluded that no further hearing was necessary, which reflects illegal and unreasonable handling of the first appeal, driving the appellant to Second appeal, thereby creating confusion besides increasing the workload. The Commission, therefore, takes this opportunity to caution the First Appellate Authority not to repeat illegal practice of not hearing the appellant, not persuing natural justice, not having the time limit provided under the RTI Act.
9. The Commission orders accordingly in this appeal.

10. The appellant submitted that the CPIO has denied the information taking protection under Section 7(9) An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question.

11. Hon’ble Kerala High Court in TREESA IRISH vs. THE CENTRAL PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER [WP(C).No. 6532 of 2006], with regard to Sec 7 (9) of RTI Act, had observed as follows:
“25. The Standing Counsel for the Public Service Commission also raises a contention that if all the candidates apply for copies of answer papers, it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority and therefore disclosure of the same is exempt under Section 7(9) An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. of the Act. I am of the opinion that the said contention is misconceived. That Section reads thus: "7. Disposal of request ............................................................. .................................................................................... (9) An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question." That Section does not even confer any discretion on a public authority to withhold information, let alone any exemption from disclosure. It only gives discretion to the public authority to provide the information in a form other than the form in which the information is sought for, if the form in which it is sought for would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority. In fact there is no provision in the Act to deny information on the ground that the supply of the information would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority......”
12. The appellant also filed complaint under Section 18 of the RTI Act, as the respondent authority has not furnished the ID numbers of his RTI applications. Appellant being an RTI Activist files numerous RTI requests and he finds it difficult to track his file, if proper ID number is not given by the respondent authority. Hence he requested for the copy of the RTI register maintained by the respondent authority. He claimed that as per the DOPT order dated 1542013, which was repeated on 10122013 and 21102014, the Public Authority is required to upload all the RTI questions, responses given by the CPIO, orders in First appeal, response given by the CPIO, if any, after the FAA order, the decision of the CIC and compliance by the Public Authority, thereof, etc. The appellant argued that there is a delay coupled with the denial of the information on the part of the Public Authority.
