Furnishing
Wrong Information
There are a number of cases where an
applicant has filed first appeal with the First Appellate Authority in the
Public Authority concerned and second appeal/complaint with the Central
Information Commission/State Information , as the case may be, inter-alia, due
to the following reasons:
(i) Non-receipt
of information within prescribed time;
(ii) Denial
of request of information;
(iii) If he/she believes that
incomplete/misleading or false information under this Act has been given by the
Public Information Officer.
The number of
second appeals/complaints registered by the Central Information Commission
during three years is as under:
The Right to Information Act, 2005
already provides for imposition of penalty and recommendation of disciplinary
action by the Central Information Commission/State Information Commission, as
the case may be, against the Public Information Officer who has knowingly given
incorrect, incomplete or misleading information under the RTI Act. The CIC/SICs
have been imposing such penalties and also recommending disciplinary action
against such Public Information Officers.
This was stated
by Shri V. Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pension and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office in
written reply to a question by Shri Bharat Ram Meghwal today.
