IMPORTANT NOTICE
Dear Members,
It has been OBSERVED that for the last 2-3 years, the Punjab State Information Commission is bailing out the erring PIOs and the Public Authorities for a song. The Commission is not imposing any penalty on the erroring PIOs and not awarding compensation to the appellant and complainants.
This is just a situation of lawlessness prevailing in the Commission and the RTI Act is being given a silent burial.
This RTIFED Group wants these issues to be taken up vigorously with the Government as well as with the Commissions. This can only be done with the active support of the members, with facts and figures.
In case you have met such an humiliation at the hands of the Commission, and you feel that:
01. Information was not provided to you,
02. Your case was dismissed by Commission without affording a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
03. Your case was closed without ensuring the relief/relieves sought by you.
04. The penalty was not imposed on the erring PIOs..
05. Compensation was not awarded to you
06. You were not properly heard in the commission
07. You pleas or arguments were not properly discussed in the order.
08. Order of the commission is non-speaking and no reason was given in the order while rejecting your pleas or arguments..
09. Arguments were not weighed and considered on merit as per law.
10. If any form was got filled in by the commission from you to the effect that "you were satisfied with the information provided and that you do not want any further action and the case may be closed"
11. If you were ever threatened by the public authority or warned of the dire consequences and commission kept silent.
12. Any other reason with which you are not satisfied with the conduct of the proceeding at the commission.
