[rti_india] Delhi HC awards IOCL whistle blower Rs.22,500/- penalty & Rs.30,000/- compensation

 

"Accordingly a penalty at the rate of Rs. 250/- for every days delay, as mandated under Section 20(1) of the RTI, totalling Rs. 22,500/- (90 x 250) is directed to be paid by the CVC to the Petitioner within a period of 4 weeks from today.

31. As regards the question of compensation payable in terms of Section 19(8)(b) of the RTI Act, this Court is of the view that the said amount is not capable of easy quantification. The interests of justice would be served if the CVC is instead asked to pay the Petitioner the costs of this petition which are quantified as Rs. 30,000/-. The said amount should also be paid by the CVC to the Petitioner within a period of 4 weeks from today. This order will also dispose of the W.P. (Civil) No. 7372 of 2007 Page 17 of 18 Petitioners appeal pending before the CIC."
