It is held by the Hon’ble Odisha Information Commission, Bhubaneswar vide their judgment dt.

24.05.2013 in 2nd appeal case No. 668/2012 that where there are statutory Rules to provide certified copies

under the provisions of Odisha Record Manual, the provision of R.T.I Act are not applicable. In the aforesaid

cases, the certified copies are to be supplied under ORM. The applicant should have been intimated suitably

within the period to apply in proper form prescribed in ORM for access certified copies. But the applicant

has not been intimated. If the information sought for by the applicant not related to this office, the fact

should have been intimated or the application should be transferred to the respective offices under

intimation to the applicant. But in the above cases neither the applications have been rejected not

transferred.

Since it is badly delayed, steps should be taken to trace out the records and provide information to

the applicant free of cost as laid down in the R.T.I, Act.

The Tahasildar should hence forward see that appropriate action be taken to supply information

to the applicant within the time specified in Rules, else denying the information with sufficient ground or

read with Sub-section (3) of Section 19 of RTI Act 2005.

2nd Appeal Filed before the Hon’ble State Information Commission

One Sri Anand Nikhandia, S/o-Kangalu Nikhandia, At/P.O-Jhirpani applied to the P.I.O, Rourkela

Tahasil on dt. 11.07.2013 to provide information on procedure adopted in Lease cases from 1st January,

2005 to 11th July, 2013. In response to his application, he was informed expressing inability to provide

information in absence of specific case in which he required such information vide Letter No. 2204,

dt.17.07.2013. Being aggrieved, the applicant had approached the 1st Appellate Authority. The case was

registered vide No. 5 of 2013. The 1st Appellate Authority had issued a notice to him fixing on dt.

18.09.2013. Due to death of the A.P.I.O cum custodian of the Appeal case, the pendency of the 1st Appeal

could not came to light.

When the P.I.O received a notice from the State information Commissioner to appear in 2nd Appeal

Case No. 2814 of 2013 filed by the applicant, he came to know about pendency of a Appeal case, but the

same was not traceable. However the P.I.O appeared before the Hon’ble State Information Commissioner on

the fixed date i.e. 21.01.2014. The Hon’ble State Information Commissioner after careful consideration of

the submission of both parties observed that the detail information sought by the applicant necessitated

verification of all the lease case records disposed of during the period 2005 to 2013, as the same was not

available in a compiled form as submitted by the P.I.O. In the opinion of the Commission, Such an exercise to

collect and compile information from voluminous records is not possible within the stipulated time period

prescribed under the Act without hampering the normal office work. Apart from that Section 1 (f) of R.T.I,

Act, 2005 clearly provides that the information desired by the applicant should be specific. Considered in

this perspective, the response of the P.I.O dated 17.07.2013 cannot be faulted. Even though the P.I.O could

not furnish the details of action taken by the First Appellate Authority, the applicant submits that he had

specified the case records at the first appellate stage, but no information was provided even thereafter. In

this connection, it is worth mentioning that the Commission, vide their orders dated 24.05.2013 in Second

Appeal No. 668/2012 and 7 other cases, had held that where there are statutory rules framed to provide

information, inspection and certified copies, recourse should be taken to access such information and copies

under those reles and in such circumstances, provisions of the R.T.I Act are not applicable. Therefore the

0applicant, if he so desires, may seek the copies of records desired by him in respect of the specific lease

cases mentioned by him, by filling proper application as per provisions under the Odisha Records Manual

and access the desired information.

With the above observation the Hon’ble State Information Commissioner disposed of the 2nd

Appeal filed by the applicant Sri Nikhandia.

They have also not issued with any permit & transit pass and they had not lifted any minor mineral on those accounts. As the applicants are not issued with any permit & they have not lifted any minor mineral it is not possible to raise demand against them and collect the same. It is further ascertained that, in Touzi Misc. case no. 1/2005-06 to 15/2005-06 penalties are collected for unauthorized use of minor mineral in bricks making permit or lease of surface rent could not be assed for collection, on the other hand penalties are collected from them in all such cases which is around 30 to 60 times more than the objection amount on account of surface rent.
