RTI Act sec 19(8)(b) - "require the public authority to compensate the complainant for any loss or other detriment suffered;"
The appellant is not entitled to get the compensation under section 19(8)(b) of Right to Information Act 2005 from the public funds because there is no provision under section 19(8)(b) of Right to Information Act 2005 to award compensation to the
appellant by the Hon’ble Information Commissioner from the public funds.
As per section 19(8)(b) of Right to Information Act 2005 as wisely enacted by
the parliament of India is as under:-
Section 19(8)(b) of Right to Information Act 2005 is as:- “require the public
authority to compensate the complainant for any loss or other detriment
suffered;”
So only the complainant is entitled to get the
compensation from the public funds. Compensation from Public Funds should not be
distributed unlawfully to the appellant by the Hon’ble
Information Commissioner as stated above beyond the Right to Information Act
2005.
Many Hon'ble benches of information commissioners have awarded compensation
unlawfully to the
appellants.
Example:-Compensation Rs.10,000/- has been awarded to appellant in AC-1564 of 2019 dated 25.06.2021 pronounced by Shri Khushwant Singh Honourble Punjab State Information Commissioner Chandigarh.

Central Public Information Officer can not
demand further fee after 30 days : CIC Delhi (Double Bench)
CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION
Application No CIC/AT/A/2005/00004
Dated: December 27/1/’06
Right to Information Act – Section19
Name of Applicant: Shri Raj Kumar
Name of Public Authority: MCD
Facts:
Shri Raj Kumar of Jhilmil, Delhi had made an application to Deputy
Commissioner, MCD (SHS) on June 5, 2005, requesting action taken on a
complaint on ongoing illegal construction in Dilshad Garden Delhi. Not
satisfied
with the reply received from Deputy Commissioner (S), who is PIO,dated
18/11/’05 the appellant made an appeal to the Additional Commissioner
(HQ),
Appellate Authority-1, MCD, who, in citing a subsequent letter from the
PIO to the
appellant dated 29/11/’05, indicated that the property continues to vest
with the
DDA from whom information had been sought, and not with the MCD. But in
response to the applicant’s request that a copy of the letter written to
the DDA be
given him, he advised the appellant to make a fresh application for
this. On
questions asked by the appellant pertaining to guidelines and time
frames for
taking action, the appellant was told that Building Bye-laws governing
MCD are a
priced publication and may be purchased from the market. Hence the
appeal on
both counts.
The case was heard on March 6, 2006. CB Sharma and RK Gupta, Executive
engineer (Bldg) representing PIO MCD were present
DECISION
The MCD and DDA are separate public authorities. Although the MCD had
offered to seek the information sought by the applicant from the DDA,
the
process prescribed by Sec 6 (3) of the Right to Information Act, 2005
was that
the MCD should have transferred the relevant part of the application to
the DDA,
with a copy of the forwarding letter to the applicant to enable him to
pursue the
matter with DDA. It was not necessary for the applicant to apply for
this
information afresh. In any case, as per the comments received from the
MCD |
|
vide their letter No 423/DC/SHS/2006, the requisite copy
has been supplied the
required copy on 23/01/’05 (sic). MCD admit that they had asked the
appellant to
purchase the building bye-laws from the market, since this is a priced
publication.
Since the appellant was not present at the hearing it is not possible to
verify that
he has received the copy of the letter to the DDA stated to have been
sent to
him. However, MCD could have also given him the building bye-laws for
which,
the publication being priced, they could have charged him the cost as
per
procedure laid down in Sec 7(3) of the Act. They may now do so., but
this falls
under Para 6 of the original application of the appellant to the PIO and
the
information was not provided within the time limits specified under
Section 7(1),
this shall be provided free of charge as per Sec 7(6).
Let a copy of this decision be sent free of cost to the parties.
