discussions: Doctors with disability: Surgical jobs still denied
MANOJ B. PATEL posted a topic in Off Topic
If the health ministry and the Medical Council of India (MCI) had had their way, Dr Suresh H Advani, the haemato-oncologist who performed the first successful bone marrow transplant in India, would never have become a doctor. Advani's legs were afflicted by polio and he uses a wheelchair. By the health ministry's classification, he would be certified as being more than 70% disabled and hence not fit to study medicine.Read more at; Doctors with disability: Surgical jobs still denied - The Times of India -

akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in Media
The Delhi High court asked the Delhi government to contact the Mumbai Central Jail authorities and get a reply on why a prisoner, who has been incarcerated there, was not provided books required for a course on homeopathy. Ehtesham Qutubuddin Siddiqui, an accused in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts, had sent a letter in 2012 to Delhi High Court, after the Central Information Commission (CIC) had denied his request to be given 45 books published by the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH) under the RTI Act.

rti happenings: Odisha: 17 years on, over 400 complaints filed, yet Prabir denied his due share of pension
akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in Media
Prabir says, "For 10 years after retirement I received a provisional pension of Rs 735 per month but since July 2007, the provisional pension has also been stopped. I appealed for help with the Director of Health, Chief Secretary, the Chief District Medical Officer, Pension Secretary and others. Yet there was no change in the scene and hence I filed an RTI to know all details." He adds, "With the help of RTI he came to know that the provisional pension drawn in his name was also faulty. While the department withdrew a sum of Rs 1,200 as provisional pension on my head I only received Rs 735. On questioning the same, I was asked to accept whatever is being given or else the sum would be deposited in the treasury account.”Read at: 17 years on, over 400 complaints filed, yet Prabir denied his due share of pension -

rti activism: Assam: Activist denied info on environment clearance
akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in Media
GUWAHATI, March 2 – It seems the State Level Environment Assessment Authority (SEIAA) of the State is trying to cover up some environment-related information of public interest. Or else, RTI-cum-environment activist Rohit Choudhury sees no reason as to why it should deny him information on the environment clearance it has issued to the ‘B’ Category projects. The information assumes significance because of the presence of several such projects in the radius of 10 km from the Kaziranga National Park (KNP). Read at: The Assam Tribune Online -

akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in Media
Since the Right to Information Act came into effect in 2005, it has been instrumental in unearthing many wrongdoings by government officials and departments. Sometimes information seekers are denied the information without any legal ground whatsoever. The departments seek various loopholes of RTI to withhold the information or sometimes just straightforwardly deny access to the information.

Information cannot be denied under Sec 7(9) but only provided in another form
karira posted a topic in RTI Appeals decisions
The CIC has ruled (like many times in the past - also by courts) that Sec 7(9) cannot be used to deny information. 13. The Commission observes that the CPIO cannot take protection of section 7(9) without any basis thereof. Under Section 7(9) of the RTI Act, the Public Authority can deny information in a particular form but it cannot refuse totally. The said subsection does not provide additional ground for denial of information. If section 7(9) applies to the tontext, the respondent authority has to give information in the same form as available. The Commission, therefore, issues Show Cause Notice to the CPIO for wrongly denying the information by citing Section 7(9) of the RTI Act. His explanation should reach the Commission within 3 weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The FAA is also advised to give speaking order and there should be no ambiguity in the order. 14. The Commission further directs the Public Authority to implement the guidelines issued by the DOPT and upload the RTI questions and responses, first appeals, FAA orders and further information given by the CPIO, if any, after the FAA order, Second appeals, CIC orders and compliance etc on the official website. It should be petitioner/appellant wise, so that when clicked on that name, all this information should be displayed in the website. 15. The Commission orders accordingly. http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_SA_A_2014_000251_M_143424.pdf -

want to know When it falls under sec.24. How denied!!!
nilesh dave3 posted a question in Ask for RTI Support
The PIO denies information with calculatingly incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information or obstructed in any manner in furnishing the true information. information sought (1) pl. provide the copy of registration renewal application of m/s 'x' with all remarks. PIO replied - the information sought is of third party. The TP gives consent not to disclose his information". ( yes, the TP give consent , does it means PIO himself wants so and TP gave consent) hence information not provided mentioning sec.11(1). I have explain in detail that PIO can deny under sec.8 or 9 only. Sec 11(1) is for procedural reference only. At work place it is right of all workmate to know how & on which merit the co worker get appointment, registration, perks, sp. Allowances, promotion, higher grade etc. Now here the registration renewal application is treated as confidential. It simply strengthen doubts that there is something wrong. Any how this isn't confidential information. (2) disciplinary action initiated if any, in proven cases' Earlier through RTI many irregularities & malpractice were uncovered .in those cases if any departmental actions initiated by chief engineer I have sough for that information. The PIO replies - the information sought is not clear' Hear it's conflict of interest. (3) how work order no. ' xxx' placed before paying security deposits. This is violation of guiding principle of GoG. In said work order. The deposit was made after 03 months from work order date. This information was collected through RTI. Even though PIO replies - work order placed only after paying Security deposits. There are 20 points in which false, incorrect, incomplete answer given by PIO. Almost all the issues are of irregularities & misuse of public money. i have sought the information under RTI act 2005. I don't have superscripted clause 24. Is it excuse, for deny ? I think to sought the information by multiple applications. Can i ask the said information under 4(1) b, c & d. Sent from RTI INDIA Mobile App -
is RTI applicable on all the states in the same manner
rohitgoyal_asn posted a question in Ask for RTI Support
Hi All, I have a query and would require your guidance for the same. Is RTI Act applicable on all the states and Goverment offices in the same manner. Ex:- I have asked certain information from Mumbai Municipal corporation , kolkata municipal corporation and Delhi municipal corporation. Mumbai municipal corporation provided me the desired information after paying the fees asked by them however the same information was denied by the other two. Now first query is that are they allowed to deny me information when one municipal corporation has already furnished the desired information. Secondly does it make my case stronger during first appeal as I have recieved information from one municipal corporation but denied by other two. -
rti court decision: Citizens can access CCTV footage of public place
akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in Media
Mumbai : In a landmark order, the Central Information Commission has ruled that CCTV footage of a public place is in the public domain and cannot be denied to a citizen. The case pertains to Mumbai-based RTI activist Chetan Kothari, who wanted the CCTV footage of the incident when a UCO bank cashier at Bhulabhai Desai Road misbehaved him. “The man ahead of me in the queue got Rs 1,000 in the denomination of Rs ten but when I asked for it, the cashier, Ganpat Dongera, was rude to me,’’ said Kothari. The incident happened on November 3, 2012. Unsatisfied with the action taken by the bank — merely instructing the employee concerned to be polite — Kothari asked for the service record of Dongera as well as the CCTV record of the incident.

Information that has to be "created" or "collected", cannot be denied under RTI....
karira posted a topic in RTI in Media
There have been several posts on this forum, in the past, about whether the PA/PIO is bound to give information which has to be "created" or "collected". Some decisions of the CIC and SIC's have added confusion to this issue: - information to be given in the form that it is available - diversion of PA's resources to provide the information etc etc etc In a recent decision, due to persuasive arguments of the appellants representative, the CIC ordered that even information that has to be "created" or "collected" must be given to the applicant: http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/Decision_18022008_02.pdf We agree with learned Counsel assisting appellant Ms. Lakshmi Jayashankar’s rejoinder quoted above that none of the grounds decided upon for denying information is valid. Under Rule 4 (a) of the RTI Act (Regulation of Fee & Cost Rules) 2005 which came into force on September 16, 2005 a fee is expected to be charged for each page “created or copiedâ€, which indicates that all information held by or under the control of any public authority is accessible to the public as is covered by the ‘right to information’ defined in sec. 2(j), even when it needs to ‘collected’. This is, of course, subject to the exceptions laid down in sec. 7(1). None of these exemptions includes the kind of exemption the MoEF seeks to foist through its decision of 27.9.06. Therefore, the information sought will now be provided to appellant Shri Karthik Jayashankar within 30 working days from the date of receipt of this Decision Notice. The full decision of the CIC is attached for reference. Decision_18022008_02.pdf -
How to ask for information through RTI from abroad?
shandilya posted a question in Ask for RTI Support
Hello, I am doing some research work in Hamburg, Germany. I need data on judicial system in India like the number of courts (including district courts), number of cases filed, disposed and pending in courts of India state wise. Also, if possible the number of computers in each court. Such information is not available on the internet. So I thought I might ask for them using RTI. Kindly tell me who should I ask for this information. Do I need to write to the Union Law ministry or to every state government? Also, is it possible to get this information in Hamburg? There is an Indian consulate here. This is the first time I am using RTI, so do not know how to proceed with it. Thank You. -

BY Hindustan Times FOR ALMOST a year now, Ravi Dutt, who has 75 per cent disability in his upper limbs, has been running from pillar to post, hoping against hope to get his rightful berth in the government services. Armed with a diploma in Elementary Teacher Education and a certificate in Computer Application, this commerce graduate had first appeared for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examination on August 28, 2006. Soon after, he sat for the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on October 25, 2006. He hoped to make it to one of the two reserved seats in the Physically Handicapped category. But he was never considered for the post. When he had approached SSC and ESIC to find out the reasons for his rejection, he never received a satisfactory answer. He then filed a petition under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. "I approached all possible people in the recruitment office. When I failed to get an answer, I was left with one option - to extract information rightfully through RTI," said Dutt. ESIC refused to divulge any information, stating results and other qualifying details were highly confidential. The only information they could provide was that no candidate was absorbed under the Physically Handicapped category. SSC said since most positions were open for the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe category, its minimum cut-off was 103. SSC's response also revealed that Dutt had secured 114, much higher that the required cut-off. SSC wrote, "Typing abilities were a minimum requirement for the job. While the candidate applied for exemption, permitted under the Physically Handicapped category, he failed to submit documents." Reacting to this, Dutt said, "This job is extremely important for me. Being a disabled and conscious of my weakness, there is no reason why I should have faltered on this account." In a later communication, SSC said while he had applied for an exemption under medical grounds, he may have forged the certificate. Documents show that the Vocational Rehabilitation Certificate he had submitted were authenticated by the board of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, dated a month before he had applied for the job. "In government services, very few doors are open to us, and if they don't recruit us even for clerical jobs, where do we go?" asked Dutt. "I have also approached the Commissioner of Disabilities, but no one has responded." Deputy Chief Commissioner of Disabilities T.D. Dhariyal said, "We are yet to look into the facts and get the version of both the parties concerned. There are several factors that have to be looked into in the case of reserved categories. In this case, if positions are still open, then the organisation should relax the standards further so as to appoint a candidate in the reserved category." Disabled man denied government job - Yahoo!

Dear Sir, I am glad to become a member of RTI movement. I have several successes to my credit. I shall post the details in the next few days. Meanwhile I have a query relating to denial of information by the Appellate Authority, LIC of India, Zonal Office, I asked the Information Office, LIC, New Delhi for details on insurance training programs conducted by certain agencies for its agents on the criteria of their selection, their standing infrastructure available with them, if any of these institutions were involved in disciplinary action by the LIC or IRDA, cost per candidate and details of the faculty, the resources available at command of the institution. The Information Officer denied the same for all the 10 points under Section 8 (i)(d) thereby showing a bias in favor of certain institution. The Appellate Authority supplied some information but denied the same on most of the points. At the end, he stated that if the applicant did not feel satisfied with his order, he may appeal within 30 days to him again. My question is: 01. Whether Section 8(i)(d) can allow non-disclosure of information on the points above? 02. Whether the Appellate Authority can seek another appeal in respect to its own order on the first appeal? I shall be grateful for clarifications. Regards, (R.R. Grover)
