Jammu, Mar 15: In a serious administrative lapse , the Executive Engineer R&B division Kargil has told State Information Commission (SIC) that the tender file from September 2016 to March 2017 has gone missing from his office. The copy of the file was sought under Right to Information Act (RTI) by a local information seeker.
Details available with Early Times reveal that one Mohammad Hassan Masha a resident of Tambis Sankoo District Kargil filed the RTI application dated 06.07.2017 before the PIO/Executive Engineer R&B Division, seeking information on five queries mentioned in the said application. As no information was provided by the PIO and the first appellant authority within the stipulated time period, the appellant filed the first and second appeals.
During the proceedings, the appellant submitted that the PIO has provided him incomplete and unattested information without providing him the copy of tender opening register w,e,f 01.09.2016 to 31.03.2017. The PIO submitted that the tender opening register was missing from the office and as such same could not be provided to the appellant.
State Information Commission (SIC) took a serious view of the mater in view of the fact that the tender opening register is a very important document/record and cannot disappear overnight unless somebody is interested in its disappearance.
SIC directed to hold an enquiry in order to ascertain the circumstances under which the tender opening register went missing and fix the responsibility of the persons/officials involved.
The enquiry shall be concluded within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order and the findings of the enquiry shall be shared with the Commission as soon as the same is concluded. In the meanwhile, the PIO is also directed to put strenuous efforts to locate the tender opening register. |
