Re: [rti_india] Re: interpreation of Section 2(f) and 2(J)

Sir,

I have sought information from my subordinate office to provide me circular how my increments have been regulated and copy of the circulars. On this the PIO of my office transfered the case, though he has having the copy of the circular, under section 6(3) of the act to my headquaters i.e administrative ministry. Based on this, the PIO of the administrative ministry replied that the circular may please be issued to him, as his pay and allowances were regulated by that order in the subordinate office. And they were interpreting that section 2 f and and section 2 j read togheter . If that the case, the Goverment of India consisiting of close to 85 departments issues variours circulars, why, can not host it on their webistes and instruct the offices subordinate to them to place on thier individual websites. The reading of the sections togehter section 2 f and 2 j is conflicting as goverment of india/dopt declared that the each public authority is a third party . Please offer u r expert comments please

Dear Anurag

The query is not very clear.

Circulars are supposed to be proactively disseminated under section 4. Once disseminated under section 4, they are in the public domain and no longer "held by or under control of" the public authority - and hence cannot be provided under section 6 process.

The information was sought by his was circular issued by administrative ministry of his organisation and the requester is an employee of subordinate office of the same administrative ministry.
