The registration document provides that the license for the performance of Ram Lila celebrations shall be taken out in the names of the President, the Secretary General and all the Mahants. He also produced an authorisation letter dated 11.10.1985, issued by the Delhi Police in the names of the above functionaries and three Mahants to take out Shri Ram Lila processions from 14.10.1985 to 24.10.1985. He stated that the permission in subsequent years has been given without a mention of the Mahants who, according to the 1938 registration deed, are to be ipso facto members of the

Managing Committee.

The Appellant submitted that adherence to the provisions of the registration deed is linked to maintaining the heritage of Ram Lila and glory of the day-night Ram

Lila procession. The Appellant wanted to know, in particular, the status of the following:-

provisions of the certificate of registration of 1938.

4. The Appellant stated that the information sought by him relates to the heritage of the country and its disclosure is important. In this connection he referred to the

3 following observations made by the Supreme Court in its order in Subhas Datta vs.

Union of India & Ors. [W.P. (C) No. 252 of 2004]:-

“15. It can hardly be gainsaid that preservation of rich heritage and culture of the country is a constitutional mandate. In UNESCO Convention on the means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property adopted in the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, meeting in Paris from 12th October to 14th November 1970, at its sixteenth session, which has been duly ratified by India, the spirit of the said mandate has been reiterated. The International Council of Museums (ICOM) (working with the support of UNESCO) has issued guidelines for disaster preparedness in Museums which are well known to those concerned with the management of Museums. The UNESCO in its quarterly journal “Museum” has suggested measures for security of museum objects in the light of studies undertaken by it. Performance audit of preservation and conservation of Monuments and Antiquities is also conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).”

5. We have considered the submissions made by the Appellant with reference to the queries of his RTI application at point Nos. 5 to 9.

9. Advocate Dinesh Pratap Singh was present on behalf of Shri Ramlila Committee

(Regd.), the third party. However, since he was not carrying a vakalatnama to represent the third party, he was not allowed to make any submissions during the proceedings, though he was allowed to attend the same. Written submissions dated

23.12.2016 made by Shri Rajesh Khanna, Secretary General, Shri Ramlila Committee

(Regd.) have been received and taken on record. Sh. Khanna has submitted that he was elected as Secretary General of the society in the year 1996 and after elections he had submitted the list of office bearers duly elected in the election conducted. Sh

Khanna has claimed that his role and powers have already been defined by Delhi High

Court in its order dated 26.03.2009 in writ petition (C) no. 6228/2006. He has further submitted that another case filed against Registrar of Societies and others by one Shri

Ram Kishan, wherein Shri Ram Lila Committee is a party, is pending in the court of

Civil Judge, Tis Hazari, Delhi, wherein the management of the society is directly and substantially in issue. So far as information on removing encroachments from sheds of

Ramlila housing chariots at Daryaganj is concerned, it is submitted that way back

DDA allotted some land in Daryaganj to the society for the purposes of using it as godown to keep goods, chariots and other items, which are quite bulky in size and ever since then the said site, wherein boundary wall and some temporary structure was raised several decades ago, is being used for the said purposes and for the safety and security of the goods a chowkidar has been provided who lives in the temporary structure. Shri Khanna states that there is neither any encroachment nor any unauthorized construction, nor the said site is used for any other purposes. Sh Khanna has further stated that neither any costly silver items were received by the Managing

Committee from the persons earlier managing the affairs of Ramlila nor any silver

8 items were purchased by the Managing Committee and as such they are also not in a position to reveal any information in this regard. Whatever movable property of the committee is concerned, it is intact, though two years ago some property was misappropriated by a politician against whom police complaint has already been lodged by the society which is under investigation. Shri Khanna states that through certain amendments, formulated and approved by the managing committee of society and with a voice vote in the general body meeting of the society, the rights and privileges of Mahants were curtailed. He has also made point-wise comments on points 5 to 9 of the RTI application. These are mentioned in the succeeding paragraphs :-

Point No. 5: Shri Khanna states that Ram Lila is performed under the auspices of a registered society, duly registered under the Societies Registration Act. The alleged mismanagement can neither be adjudicated upon nor falls under the domain of the

Central Information Commission and as such it does not fall in the category of information as envisaged under Section 2 (f) of the RTI Act. None of the authorities can reply with regard to the query concerning takeover of the Ram Lila as it is only within the domain of Parliament to pass any act to take over a society. Shri Khanna states that a suit filed by one Shri Ram Kishan against the Registrar of Societies and

Ors., wherein Shri Ramlila Committee is a party is pending in the court of Civil Judge

Delhi.

Referring to the Supreme Court observations, mentioned in paragraph 4 of the interim order dated 4.10.2016, the Appellant stated that the Commission should recommend takeover of the society because of the larger public interest involved.

9

Point No. 6: Shri Khanna reiterates that there is neither any encroachment nor any unauthorised construction nor the said site is used for any other purposes. He adds that since the allotment of the land by DDA, no action was ever proposed by any of the authorities in respect thereof for any kind of violation.

The Appellant stated that DDA allotted the land for a specific purpose. He has submitted photographs to establish that there is encroachment on the site. The

Commission and the authorities concerned should ascertain the facts regarding utilisation of the land and inform DDA about its misuse / encroachment.

Point No. 7: Shri Khanna states that the property Shri Ram Temple at Ramchandra

Dehlvi Marg was donated by the original owner for Ram Lila activities and it was being used as such, but once the Mahants were removed from the Managing Committee of the Society, they created hindrance in the use of this property for Ramlila activities and this compelled the society to seek legal redressal by filing a suit for injunction against them, which is still pending in the Court of Additional District Judge, Delhi.

The property is a private property and as such the authorities have no control over it and can neither provide any information, nor can they have any such information in their record.

The Appellant stated that taking into account the religious sentiments of the community at large, this property should be taken over by the state.

Point No. 8: According to Shri Khanna, had there been any report lodged with the

Delhi Police in regard to missing costly silver / decorative items and other property of

Ram Lila being staged at the Ramlila ground, the Delhi Police would have revealed

10 some information. However, neither any costly silver items were received by the

Managing Committee from the persons earlier managing the affairs of Ramlila nor any silver items were purchased by the Managing Committee and as such they are also not in a position to reveal any information in this regard. He states that the present

Managing Committee is taking care of all goods and material used for the purposes of

Ramlila. The chariots etc. are very old but are still being used after getting them refurbished / repaired / renovated. Whatever movable property of the committee is concerned, it is intact, “though two years back some property was misappropriated with by a politician against whom police complaint has already been lodged by the society which is under investigation.” (sic.)

The Appellant stated that there were two chariots, but one has not been seen for some time now. It is a chariot with silver engravings.

Point No. 9: Shri Khanna states that the Ramlila is being performed regularly with all gaiety and fervour for the last several decades and the smooth functioning of Shri

Ram Lila Committee (Regd.) is evident from the fact that the Ramlila procession and other related functions, including the performance of Ramlila, obtain necessary permission and “otherwise managing all affairs of society without interference or indulgence of the so called other group ....”

The Appellant stated that the sanctity of the procession is not being maintained and the Mahants have been excluded from the processions.

10. The Appellant submitted that restoration of heritage of Ramlila is of national importance and the Commission should recommend to the ministry concerned the

11 take-over of Shri Ram Lila Committee. He handed over a list of movable and immovable properties of the Shri Ram Lila Committee signed by Mahant Shri Ram

Krishan Sharma. He also handed over a photocopy of the news item, published in

Hindustan Times Dated 11.10.2016 titled “Complaint against Cong Leader for not returning Ramlila Panel’s belongings”. The Appellant reiterated that the sanctity of the Ramlila procession is not being maintained by the current office bearers of Shri

Ram Lila Committee.

11. The following submissions have been made by the various Respondent authorities:-

(i) Shri B S Vashisht , Dy Secretary & CPIO, Department of Art, Culture &

Languages, NCT of Delhi in his submissions dated 9.12.2016 has stated

that the requisite information, in resposen to the RTI application, might

have been available with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, Delhi

Police (Central District),Area SDM ( Revenue Department) etc. They

transferred the order dated 4.10.2016 of the Commission to the above

authorities.

(ii) Sh B L Meena, CPIO/ Registrar Of Societies ,Central District has

submitted vide his letter dated 21.12.2016 that the matter pertains to

Registrar of Societies, District East, Delhi 110031 and they transferred

office, Daryaganj confirmed during the hearing that the file from District

can be inspected at their office.

(iii) Sh Lalit Kumar Gupta, Nodal Officer/ APIO (H.Q.) North NDMC, vide his

Municipal Corporation submitted during the hearing that they have not

received any reports regarding encroachments etc.

(iv) Sh Chinmoy Biswal, CPIO/Central District, office of Dy. Commissioner of

Police, Daryaganj, Delhi in his submissions dated 9/12/2016 has stated

that no complaint regarding encroachment at the junction of Daryaganj

(two side corner plot between Sanjeevan Hospital and Commercial

School) has been found in the record of the police station, Daryaganj.

The Appellant stated that he filed a complaint to Shri Madhur Verma,

Deputy Commissioner of Delhi Police (North) Civil lines, Delhi on

18.2.2016 on an enquiry conducted by Shri Vishan Kumar S I of Kotwali,

Chandni Chowk, Delhi. He stated that the enquiry was meaningless in

relation to the irregularities pointed out by him. Ms Alka Azad ACP,

North District, Delhi Police stated during the hearing that the enquiry by

Shri Vishan Kumar SI was in the context of the RTI application of the

Appellant and not on any complaint filed to them. Shri Ashok Tyagi, ACP

submitted that though the permission for the route of the Ramlila

13

procession is given by them as per the request of the Management

Committee, they are not concerned with the persons who would be

sitting in the chariots etc. The Appellant stated that as per the Deed

of the Society, only Mahants along with some other persons are

empowered to apply for permission for the procession and as per the

letter dated 11.10.1985 of Delhi Police, it was being given in their names

only. A copy of the letter has already been provided to the Commission.

(v) Ms Esha Pandey, CPIO/ Addl. Dy Commissioner of Police 1, North District,

Delhi has filed a common submission dated 20.12.2016 on behalf of

and misappropriation of certain costly items from Ramlila in PS, Kamla

Market on 12.09.2016 and an enquiry was conducted by the ACP, Kamla

Market. The matter was found civil in nature and the complaint was

filed.

(vi) Shri Madan Chaurasia, CPIO & Under Secretary, Ministry of Culture,

Government of India vide his letter dated 1.11.2016 has submitted that

the Ministry of Culture have already provided some information to the

Appellant, while transferring the RTI application to the concerned CPIOs.

In response to our query whether the online submission of the Appellant

on PG Portal was responded to, Shri Chaurasia submitted that he needed

to check the position in this regard.

14

12. We have considered the submissions of all the parties and would first deal with the aspect of provision of information sought in the RTI application dated 10.9.2012 at points No. 5 to 9. In disposing of this matter, we note that the religious and cultural sentiments of a large number of people are attached to the Ramlila that is the subject matter of this RTI application and it is part of the rich heritage and culture of the country. Therefore, the issues connected with this Ramlila are not the private preserve of either the committee managing it or the factions involved in litigation concerning the affairs connected with the Ramlila. Since the issue involves the sentiments of a large segment of the community, it is clearly one of larger public interest.

13. As regards point No. 5 of the RTI application, it is clear from the hearings conducted by the Commission and the submissions made by the various concerned

Respondent authorities that there has been no proposal to take over the Ramlila staged at the Ramlila grounds on the lines of Mysore Dussehra. Therefore, no information exists in this regard. As for point No. 6, even though the Appellant has alleged encroachments on the sheds of Ramlila housing chariots etc. at Daryaganj, none of the Respondent authorities have mentioned existence of any information concerning this on their records. Similarly, no Respondent authority has acknowledged having taken any steps to restore the heritage of the ancient Shri

Ramlila Temple at Ramchandra Dehlvi Marg and / or to restore the glory of day-night daily Ramlila procession during Navratras – issues raised by the Appellant in points No.

7 and 9 of the RTI application. Therefore, there is no information to provide in response to these points also. However, the Appellant has raised certain issues

15 regarding alleged deviations in management of the Ramlila and related events from the conditions set out at the time of registration of the management society, named as Shri Ramlila Committee, which was registered with the Registrar of Societies at

Delhi. The police authorities have said that they have not been going into the aspect of who sits in the chariots during the Ramlila procession, while the Appellant states that as per the terms and conditions of registration, the police clearance for such processions can be given only in response to the request made by certain individuals, including Mahants. Shri Rakesh Sharma, Naib Tehsildar, District Magistrate’s Office,

Daryaganj stated during the hearing that the file concerning the society has been received from the Registrar of Societies, East District and the documents in this file can be inspected at their office. This file may throw some light on the issues concerning the terms and conditions of registration and their observance during the management of the Ramlila and related events. Accordingly, Shri Rakesh Sharma,

Naib Tehsildar, District Magistrate’s Office, Daryaganj is directed to facilitate the inspection of the above file by the Appellant, on a mutually convenient date and time, within twenty days of the receipt of this order, under intimation to the

Commission.

14. As regards point No. 8 of the RTI application, Shri Ramlila Committee (Regd.) have submitted that neither any costly silver items were received by the managing committee from the persons who managed the Ramlila earlier, nor any silver items were purchased by the committee. They have stated that the available material is being taken care of. However, Ms. Esha Pandey, CPIO / Additional Deputy

Commissioner of Police 1, North District, Delhi has stated that a complaint filed by

16

Shri Shiv Kumar Gupta (in the Hindustan Times report dated 11.10.2016, mentioned above, he has been described as the store – in - charge of Shri Ramlila Committee), alleging theft and misappropriation of costly items from Ramlila, was enquired into by the ACP, Kamla Market and the matter was filed as it was found to be civil in nature.

In the above context, Ms. Esha Pandey, CPIO / Additional Deputy Commissioner of

Police 1, North District, Delhi is directed to provide to the Appellant a copy of the enquiry report of the ACP, Kamla Market, based on which the matter was found to be civil in nature and filed. The above information should be provided, free of charge, within twenty days of the receipt of this order, under intimation to the Commission.

Further, Shri Madan Chaurasia, CPIO and Under Secretary, Ministry of Culture is directed to inform the Appellant, within seven days of the receipt of this order, under intimation to the Commission, whether a reply was sent to the Appellant’s submission

‘Ramlila in Delhi” routed to the Ministry of Culture through their PG portal

(DCLTR/E/2012/00068 dated 9.9.2012). If so, the CPIO should provide a copy of the reply to the Appellant.

15. While disposing of this matter, we would like to state that the issue before the

Commission is furnishing of the information sought in the RTI application and not to pronounce itself on the allegations regarding mismanagement of the Ramlila made by the Appellant or to make any recommendations regarding the takeover of the Ramlila by the Government. The Commission would also not like the process of furnishing the available information to the Appellant to become some sort of a continuing enquiry, under the supervision of the Commission, into the alleged mismanagement / missing precious items, such as by carrying out inspection of the site allegedly encroached

17 upon or by directing the authorities concerned to conduct enquires into the various aspects of mismanagement pointed out by the Appellant. The Appellant is at liberty to file complaints to the authorities concerned with the evidence at his disposal so as to trigger action by them on the same. At the same time, we recall that, as stated above, the issues concerning this Ramlila, which is part of the rich heritage and culture of the country, are of larger public interest. It is, therefore, disturbing to see such a prestigious event mired in litigation, complaints of theft and misappropriation of costly items and allegations of encroachment on the storage site of such items. It is for the competent courts of law to pronounce upon the issues concerning management of the Ramlila before them. However, given the larger public interest involved in this matter, we would urge the concerned public authorities to take such steps, as are within their powers, to assist the process of maintaining the glory of this prestigious event and look expeditiously into the complaints concerning the shortcomings in the management of this event brought to their notice by the public.

16. With the above directions and observations, the compliance issue is disposed of.

17. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties. Sd/- (Sharat Sabharwal) Information Commissioner 17.2.2017

Authenticated true copy. Additional copies of orders shall be supplied against application and payment of the charges prescribed under the Act to the CPIO of this Commission.
