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.
D.M. Mirzapur denied government orders sent by administrative reform as not received in office concerning disclosure of assets. Which means government order for voluntary disclosure of assets by the provincial civil servants is only on paper and has not been an integral part of the working of the accountable officers who are monitoring the compliance at the district level.
From the following status of the submitted RTI application it is quite obvious that the appellant submitted RTI application on 24th January 2024 and this application was rejected by the public information officer on 31st January 2024 arbitrarily without taking the perusal of the submitted RTI application and attached document to it.
Reason for Rejection: - Rule 4(2)(a).
Remarks: - . The information sought should be a part of the record held by or under the control of the public authority concerned.
According to the public information officer whatever information has been sought by the information seeker has not been made correspondence in the office of district Mirzapur even when the entire details provided, and documents attached to the RTI application by the appellant.
प्रेषक, धनन्जय शुक्ला, विशेष सचिव, उत्तर प्रदेश शासन।
Subject: - Regarding filing of annual movable and immovable property statements by the officers of Uttar Pradesh Civil Services (Executive Branch) through online mode on Sparrow portal.
Sir, please refer to pages 4 and 5 of the PDF documents attached with this application. The government order was sent by Dhananjay Shukla, Special Secretary of the Government of Uttar Pradesh on 4th January 2024.
This mandate is addressed to the Chairman Revenue Council Uttar Pradesh Lucknow, all Additional Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh, all the heads of departments and chief office heads, Uttar Pradesh all the divisional commissioners of Uttar Pradesh, the District Magistrate of Uttar Pradesh.
It is most unfortunate that the public information officer in the office of district Magistrate Mirzapur is so incompetent that he could not understand the contents of the RTI application ipso facto.
Here appellant is not seeking information of the property of the public staff but seeking information concerning the compliance of the government order which has to be followed by 31st January 2024 by entire provincial civil servants in the state and district magistrates, commissioners and other departmental heads had to be instrumental in compliance of the government order concerning the disclosure of assets blatantly by provincial civil servants.
Undoubtedly it is a precarious situation that the public information officer in the office of district Magistrate 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.
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-15/04/2024 Yours sincerely
