| No proactive disclosure under RTI Act | | Complaint filed against DC Office Poonch | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 15: A complaint under section 18 of the Right to Information Act 2005 has been filed with the Central Information Commission against office of the Deputy Commissioner Poonch for its failure to make proactive disclosure of Information which is compulsory to be made under section 4(1)(b) of the RTI Act 2005.
In his complaint before the CIC dated 14/July/2020 vide diary no 677786, RTI activist Raman Sharma has submitted that DC Office Poonch, the respondent Public Authority was under legal obligation as per section 4 of the Right to Information Act to pro-actively disclose certain kind of information but unfortunately for the reason best known to the respondent (DC Office), no such information was made available proactively for the public and people have to resort to file individual RTI applications to even get this information which otherwise should have already been in public domain and innocent citizens are compelled to spend money and time to get this information.
In the complaint it is further stated that the Respondent P.A also have its dedicated website “poonch.nic.in” but there also no information as mentioned under section 4 is published which is clear violation of the Right to Information Act 2005.
Seeking directions for the DC office Poonch, the RTI activist have requested the CIC to direct the respondent to take necessary action and suo-moto disclose all mandatory information as required under section 4 of the Right to Information Act 2005 on its official website and apprise the CIC about the action taken thereof along with a copy to the complainant.
