Subject: [HumJanenge] Orissa Police Circular on RTI
Dear friends
Please find attached herewith circular dated 16.11.2010 issued by Director General of Police, Orissa declaring all Police Districts, Estts. Including Police stations as Public Authorities and designating PIOs, APIOs and 1st Appellate Authority in all offices to comply the Right to Information Act. The said circular has been produced and filed by DG of Police as an affidavit before Hon'ble High Court while complying to a PIL case filed by Sri Nimananda Biswal, RTI Applicant of Jagatsingh Pur whose RTI Application was rejected by local police station on the ground that there is no PIO in the police station in 2007. He filed complaint case in the office of Orissa Information Commission. The case was heard by Mr. D.N.Padhi, the then Chief Information Commissioner who disposed the case without providing the information to the complainant. However the said circular has instructed the concerned office to designate PIO and APIO in the local Police stations in order to comply the Act.
I request all of you to disseminate the circular among all section of the people and experience whether system was developed to complying the Act as per instruction from DG, Police through submitting RTI application in these Police stations.
Regards
