State Information Commission, Kerala Thiruvananthapuram

STATE INFORMATION COMMISSION, KERALA THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2011-12

“....Democracy requires an informed citizenry and transparency of information which are vital to its functioning and also to contain

corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed”

(Preamble to RTI Act, 2005)

I. Introduction

The concept of an open government is the direct emanation from the right to know which seems to be implicit in the right of free speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India. No democratic government can survive without accountability and the basic postulate of accountability is that the people should have information about the functioning of the Government. It was in this context that the Indian Parliament enacted the landmark Right to Information Act, 2005.

The Right to Information Act, 2005 (Central Act No.22 /2005) was notified in the Official Gazette of India on 21st of June, 2005. Sections

4(1), 5(1), 5(2), 12, 13, 15, 16, 24, 27 and 28 of the Act came into force with effect from the date of notification and the remaining provisions came into force on the 12th of October, 2005. The Act extends to the whole of India except Jammu and Kashmir. It is applicable to all

Constitutional Authorities, bodies established or constituted by an Act of the Parliament or the State Legislature, or by order or notification of the Central/State Governments. It also applies to bodies owned, controlled or substantially financed by the Government directly or indirectly.

The main objective of the Right to Information Act, 2005 is to ensure transparency and accountability in the working of every Public

Authority in the country and to eliminate the scourge of corruption. The Act mandates a legal-institutional framework for setting out a practical regime of right to information for every citizen to secure access to information held by or under the control of Public Authorities. This is a path- breaking legislation that enables the country to break away from the colonial legacy of secrecy, which is anathema to a democratic system.

Setting up of Information Commissions at the Central and State levels to ensure the effective implementation of the right to information regime in the country is one of the key provisions of the Act.

II. Constitution and composition of the Kerala State Information Commission

The Kerala State Information Commission was constituted under section 15(1) of the Right to Information Act 2005, consisting of the State Chief Information Commissioner and four State Information Commissioners. Under section 15(3) of the Act, the Government of

Kerala appointed Dr. Siby Mathews IPS (Rtd) as the State Chief Information Commissioner and Shri. K. Natarajan IPS (Rtd) as State

Information Commissioner. During the period under report the Commission consist of a Chief Information Commissioner and four State

Information Commissioners namely Dr. K. Rajagopal, Shri. M N Gunavardhanan IAS (Rtd) and Shri. Soni Thengamom.

III. Functioning of the Commission

The office of the State Information Commission is situated in building No.TC.XXVI/298, Punnen Road, Thiruvananthapuram - 695 001.

Official telephone numbers of the State Chief Information Commissioner and State Information Commissioners and other officers of the

Commission are at Annexure-I.

Government have sanctioned only a skeleton staff for the functioning of the Commission, details of which are at Annexure-II. There was steep increase in the number of complaints/appeals and general papers received by the Commission. The skeleton staff provided was found inadequate to process the receipts by the Commission, resulting in heavy backlog in their disposal. The Commission had proposed to

the Government to provide additional staff for the effective functioning of the Commission. But no fruitful steps have been taken by the

Government so far to provide the additional staff, in spite of several requests made by the Commission.

An amount of Rs.381.27 lakh was provided in the State budget (Non-Plan) to meet the expenses of the State Information Commission during the year 2011-12 and, the expenditure incurred was Rs.345.52 lakh.

IV. Administration of the Act

1. Pro-active disclosure of information

Section 4 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 provides for mandatory / pro-active disclosure of information by the

public authorities. The information required to be disclosed under this section includes particulars of the organization including,

functions and duties, rules, regulations, instructions, manuals and records followed for the discharge of functions, directory of officers

and employees, including their monthly remuneration, its annual budget, details of subsidy programmes and concessions, and its

beneficiaries, particulars of State Public Information Officer/s etc. The time limit for publishing the information under section 4(1) (b) was

one hundred and twenty days from 15 June, 2005 - the date of enactment of the Act. It is unfortunate that most of the public authorities

are yet to take effective action as contemplated under section 4 of the Right to Information Act.

2. Disclosure of information against requests

A citizen, who desires to obtain information under the Act, is required to make an application before the Public Information

Officer as provided in Section 6 of the Act. Where the request is for information, which is held by another public authority or the subject matter of the application is more closely connected with the functioning of another public authority, the application shall be transferred to the other public authority within 5 days of the date of receipt of the application, under intimation to the applicant. In many cases, the applications were not seen transferred to the public authority concerned within 5 days or intimation given to the applicant as provided in

Section 6(3) of the Act. Section 7 of the Act provides for disclosure of information against requests made under section 6. When the request is rejected for any of the reasons u/s 8(1) or 9, it is mandatory to provide the reason/s for rejection, the period within which an appeal could be preferred and the particulars of the appellate authority etc. to the applicant. Here also, in a number of cases, where the requests were rejected, the above details were not communicated to the applicants. Another area where the provisions of the Act were not strictly followed by the SPIOs was in making a demand for the cost of providing the information. The cost should be demanded in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(3) (a) giving the calculation made to arrive at the amount, and the particulars of the appellate authority. Very often, the SPIOs send notices to the applicants calling them to his/her office to remit the cost, without intimating the exact amount. In respect of cases wherein information had to be provided by post, the postage charge also had to be realized along with the cost for providing the information. It had not been followed in almost all the cases. The above are a few areas where the SPIOs require adequate training on how to deal with applications for information.

The right to information was often seen employed by the citizens as a means to redress their grievances. The information

seeker after the successful completion of the proceedings before the Commission was still insisting on issuance of specific orders for

redressal by the Commission on his/her grievance, which had led to his/her seeking information in the first instance. The Commission

had been at pains to explain to the appellants / complainants during the hearings that this was not the role envisaged for the

Commission under the Act and they had to seek redressal elsewhere, before an appropriate forum based on among other things, the

information furnished to them. In many cases, citizens had difficulty in understanding the position and, were seen dissatisfied with the

proceedings, even though the necessary information required by them had been furnished to them. However, it had been noticed in

many cases that the act of the Commission to ensure supply of information, had indirectly effected redressal of the grievances at the

hands of the public authorities. In many cases, the desired relief was extended to the citizens, even before the completion of the

proceedings before the Commission.

3. Monitoring and reporting

Section 25(2) of the Act provides that each Ministry or Department shall in relation to the public authorities within their jurisdiction

collect and provide to the Information Commission such information as is required, to prepare the Annual Report by the Commission.

Accordingly, the Commission had, in the first week of May 2012, written to the Secretaries of all the administrative departments of the

Government Secretariat to collect the required details from the public authorities under them and forward the same to the Commission

for preparation of the Annual Report for the year 2011-12. All autonomous bodies and heads of departments were also similarly

addressed by the Commission to furnish materials for inclusion in the Annual Report. Statistical analysis of the administration of the Act

based on the data received by the Commission from the Government and the public authorities is given in Annexure-III (a) to III (e).

As per available information, the public authorities in the State had designated 23286 State Public Information Officers, 24997

Assistant State Public Information Officers and 4283 Appellate Authorities, for the implementation of the Act. The public authorities had

received a total number of 227088 requests, out of which 221986 were disposed off. The fee and cost collected by the public authorities

under various provisions of the Act was Rs.43,41,128/-.

4. Notification of Intelligence and Security Organisations

Section 24(4) provides for notification, by the State Government, of intelligence and security organisations to which the

provisions of the Act shall not apply. Accordingly, the Government of Kerala vide SRO No.127/06 dated 07.02.2006 had notified a list

of 8 intelligence and security organisations to which the provisions of the Act shall not apply. List of the eight State organisations so

excluded is placed at Annexure-IV. However, these organizations are not excluded from the purview of the Right to Information Act as

far as disclosure of information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are concerned.

5. Complaints and appeals to the Commission

The Information Commission has the original jurisdiction to receive and inquire into complaints under section 18 and second appellate jurisdiction under section 19 (3) to receive appeals against the decisions of public authorities. During the year under report, the Commission had received 15817 currents/references, out of which 1754 were registered as complaints, 2368 as second appeals and the remaining as miscellaneous papers.Besides, at the commencement of the year there was a pendency of 781 complaints, 2421 appeals and 187 miscellaneous papers and as such total number of cases due for consideration by the Commission during the year under report was 2481 complaints and 4691 appeals. When complaints on non-disposal of requests for information by the State Public

Information Officers (SPIOs) were received, the procedure adopted by the Commission was to instruct the concerned SPIO to dispose of the request for information in accordance with Section 7 of the Right to Information Act at once and to report compliance to the

Commission. The State Public Information Officer concerned is summoned for a hearing when satisfactory action is not taken on the request. In the case of complaints of other nature and appeals u/s 19(3), copies of the complaint/appeal are sent to the public authorities for their reports. Prompt action had been taken on all the complaints and appeals received by the Commission. The

Commission held hearings on almost all days of the week with a view to dispose of the complaints/appeals. During the period of report

907 complaints, 1397 appeals and 11645 miscellaneous papers were finally disposed off, which is placed at Annexure-V .Graph put up separately.

6. Lapses on the part of Public Information Officers

to issue certificates to BPL category citizens for seeking exemption from payment of fee and cost under the Right to Information Act,

10. Commission’s sittings at District headquarters

The State Information Commission is headquartered at Thiruvananthapuram and it does not have any other office in the State.

As a people friendly measure, the Commission had conducted sittings in other districts of the State, as far as possible. During the year

of report, 88 such sittings were held by the Commission at Thrissur (21), Kasaragod (6), Kottayam

(4),Kozhikode(30)Eranakulam(12),Alappuzha(2),idukki(1),Kasargod(6), Kannur(3),Thodupuzha(2) and Wayanad (1).

to improve the understanding of the public and also train public information officers of public authorities and produce relevant training

materials. The Institute of Management in Government (IMG) had been identified by the State Government as the nodal institution to

train officers in the Government, PSUs and other autonomous organisations. The IMG, as reported, had conducted 62 programmes to

train 1872 officials on the Right to Information Act during the year under report.

The Commission had taken active participation in the training and educational programmes. The Chief Information

published in the Extra Ordinary Gazette of India on 8-2-2007.

16. Computerisation of the Commission

The Commission is fully computerized with LAN facility. The Commission‟s website www.keralasic.gov.in gives a wide range of

information on its functions and activities.

17. Videoconferencing

The Commission began its sittings through videoconferencing from 22-01-2010. Videoconferencing was held between the State

Information Commission headquarters and the concerned District Collectorate/s, where the complainants/appellants and the

Respondent/s were asked to appear. The Kerala State IT Mission facilitated the connectivity between the Commission and District

Collectorate/s. Videoconferences on 48 appeals/complaints were held during the current year at the District Collectorates at Kannur,

Idukki, Kozhikode, Kottayam and Palakkad. It is proposed to gradually enhance the frequency of videoconferencing, depending upon

the availability of network service and evaluating the success of the facility.

18. Court Cases

The Hon‟ble High Court of Kerala had vide judgment dated 17-10-11 in WP(C)No.27155 of 2011(T) held that an

advocate may appear before State Information Commission on behalf of the state public Information officer and appellate authority

along with the State Public Information officer and appellate authority consequent to the coming into force of section 30 of the

advocates act 1961. However in case the State Information Commission opines that the State Public Information officer and Appellate

Authority are to be present to adduce evidence in person he shall be summoned in person under the provisions of Civil Procedure code

if necessary.

19. Decisions of general importance by the State Information Commission

I) Domestic inquiries connected with departmental disciplinary proceedings could not be considered as „investigation‟ and hence

information related to domestic inquiries connected with disciplinary proceedings could not be rejected u/s 8(1)(h) of the Right to

Information Act.

II) The question of rejecting the personal information of the requestor u/s 8(1)(j), on the ground that the disclosure of the

information had no relationship with any public activity or interest was considered. The Commission held that, in order that the

disclosure of the information would cause unwarranted invasion on the privacy of the individual, the information requested

should be related to an individual other than the requestor.

III) Some public authorities had complained that certain citizens were making repeated requests under the Right to Information Act

on the same issue, thereby affecting the day-to-day functioning of the public authority/s. The Commission clarified that Section

2(f) read with Section 2(j) of the Right to Information Act gives the citizen the right to obtain information as held by or under the

control of a public authority. Seeking explanation, clarification, interpretation, redressal of grievance, questionnaires etc. was

not contemplated under the Act. Since no official was appointed exclusively for the implementation of the Act and, the Act has to

be implemented without affecting the normal functioning of the public authorities. If a request is so exhaustive that it would divert

the resources of the public authority, the public authority may make arrangements to allow the applicant to inspect the

documents/records and to take down notes and copies, as required by him, u/s 7(9) of the Right to Information Act.

V. Recommendations of DOPT

(i) Pro-active Disclosure by Public Authorities

Even though pro-active disclosure was mandatory under section 4(1), it was noticed that pro-active disclosure was not done in a

satisfactory manner by many public authorities. The public authorities should realize the importance of pro-active disclosure as, in the

long run, such disclosure would reduce the number of requests for information. Hence it is recommended that Government may

suitably instruct the public authorities to disclose as much information as possible under section 4(1) of the Right to Information Act.

Keeping in view of the cost and time elements involved in publishing and updating the information as per section 4 of the Act, by print

media, it is advisable to immediately publish the information by internet through the official website/s of the Government of Kerala and

the organizations concerned. Organisations may be encouraged to develop their own websites and provide the information through

them. Funds available under e-governance may be utilized for the purpose. Services of NIC can also be utilised. A definite time frame

may be set for this.

It is suggested that strict directions be issued by the Government, that all the public authorities should fulfill their obligations laid down

under Section 4 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, and instance/s of failure to comply with the directions should be viewed seriously

and departmental disciplinary proceedings should be initiated against such delinquents.

(ii) Identification of Public Authorities

As defined in Section 2(h) of the Right to Information Act, public authorities include institutions and non-governmental

organisations, which are controlled or substantially financed by the Government. But some institutions like cooperative banks, aided

schools and colleges, managements of religious institutions and places of worship, libraries etc., which are either controlled or

substantially financed by the Government are under the impression that provisions of the Right to Information Act are not applicable to

them. Hence, in order to avoid any ambiguity in the matter, it is recommended that each administrative department of the Government

may be requested to examine the issue, publish the list of public authorities under them and also instruct such public authorities to

comply with the provisions of the Right to Information Act, 2005.

(iii) Appointment of Public Information Officers

Government had issued instructions and guidelines to all public authorities on the designation of State Assistant Public

Information Officers, State Public Information Officers and the Appellate Authorities in all administrative units/offices. These instructions

have been complied with to a great extent by most of the public authorities. But there are still some public authorities who have not yet

designated the State Assistant Public Information Officers, State Public Information Officers and the Appellate Authorities. This is

especially so in the case of non-governmental organizations, financed by the Government like the private aided colleges and schools,

cooperative societies etc. Hence it is recommended that all administrative departments of the Government may be directed to review

the progress of implementation of the Right to Information Act starting from the designation of SAPIO/SPIO/AAs at different levels in the

administrative units/ offices. It is also suggested that in the case of major offices, there should be more than one State Public

Information Officer as contemplated under Section 5(1) of the Act to receive and dispose of requests under section 6(1) of the Right to

Information Act. Hence, it is recommended that in major offices, adequate number of State Public Information Officers may be designated.

It is also found necessary that the State Assistant Public Information Officers/ State Public Information Officers/Appellate

Authorities should display appropriate name boards for easy identification by the citizens. It is recommended that all public authorities may be given instructions to exhibit name boards of SAPIOs, SPIOs and AAs at conspicuous places in the office premises.

The State Information Commissioner had requested the Government of Kerala to designate seperate State Public Information

Officers and Appellate Authorities in the Offices/Administrative wings of all Ministers including Chief Minister inorder to avoid the situation of rejection of non-receipt of application/Appeals under the Right to Information Act,2005 for want of designated State Public

Information Officers and Appellate Authorities.

Government have in G.O(RT) No.1795/2011/GAD dated 10/03/2011 designated State Public Information Officers and Appellate

Authorities in the office of Ministers and Chief Minister ,copy at Annexure –X.

(iv) Inadequacy of office Contingency Fund and Office Equipments

State Public Information Officers of some government offices have reported that they were finding it difficult to meet the expenditure for providing information for want of sufficient fund allocation. The Commission has been harping on this issue in the

previous reports also. There are many offices which are still not provided with photocopiers to take photocopies of documents. Hence,

it is suggested that all government offices may be provided with adequate funds to meet the cost of providing information under the

Right to Information Act. It is also recommended that action may be taken to provide computers and photocopiers in all government

offices in a phased and time bound manner.

(v) Dissemination of Information

It is the statutory duty of the State Public Information Officers to provide the information or reject the requests for information, as

provided in Section 7(1). If the applicant is not satisfied with the reply given by the public information officer, the applicant has the right

to appeal before the appellate authority of the public authority under section 19(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005. It is necessary

that the reasons for not providing the information, the period within which the appeal may be preferred and the particulars of appellate

authority be clearly indicated while responding to the requests for information. It is recommended that all officers of public authorities

may be given adequate training on the dissemination of information as envisaged under the Act.

(vi) Disposal of First appeals

Section 19(1) of the Act provides for taking up a matter on first appeal before the first Appellate Authority in the public authority,

when the requester is not satisfied with the information provided by the SPIO of the public authority. The first appellate authority is to

dispose off the appeal within a maximum period of 45 days. In many cases, it is seen that the first appellate authority either deal with

the appeal late or does not dispose it off at all. This inevitably results in the delayed receipt of information and/or the requester is

compelled to take up the matter on 2nd appeal before the State Information Commission, with its concomitant delay, additional

expenditure and avoidable agony. Even in the case of timely disposal of first appeals, it is often noticed that the First Appellate

Authorities do not meticulously and judiciously examine the complaints raised in the first appeal or hear the parties before taking the

decision. They either agree with the decision of the SPIO blatantly or issue hasty and ambiguous directions to the SPIO. This, in

practice, makes the first appeals a farce. Here again, the Commission would stress on providing training to the concerned officials to

improve their perception of and performance under the Act.

(vii) Harassment of Applicants

There have been instances where the applicants faced harassment and oral threats from officers/employees of certain

public authorities. This might have probably happened due to the ignorance of the officers/employees of the public authorities about the

provisions of the Right to Information Act. Not only the appellate authorities, public information officers and assistant public information

officers but other employees of the public authorities also may be given adequate training on the provisions of the Right to Information

Act.

(viii) Strengthening of the Nodal Department

The Commission had proposed to strengthen the General Administration (Coordination) Department, which is the nodal

department of the Government for implementing the Right to Information Act with adequate number of staff and facilities ear-marked for

dealing with the Right to Information Act. It is reiterated that the above proposal may be considered with due importance.

(ix) Ambiguities/inconsistencies in the implementation of certain provisions of the RTI Act.

During the discharge of its functions, it had come to the notice of the Commission that certain ambiguities/inconsistencies have

crept in some of the provisions of the Act like definition of „Public Authority‟; competent authority in the case of Subordinate Courts;

section 8(1)(d) & (e); section 8(1)(g); section 8(1)(j); section 8(2); section 8(3); section 11(3); section 13(2) & 16(2); section 18 and

section 19(9). These were brought to the notice of the State Government from time to time for taking up the matter with the Department

of Personnel & Training (DoPT), Government of India, which is the nodal Department in respect of the RTI Act. It is recommended that

the matter may be followed up with the DoPT, Government of India.

(x) Maintenance and retrieval of records

In many cases of disposal of requests asking for copies of documents, it was noted that the Public Information Officers fail to

retrieve the documents requested because of absence of a proper system of record keeping. Section 4(1)(a) of the Right to Information

Act requires that the public authorities shall maintain all its records duly cataloged and indexed in a manner and form which facilitates

the right to information. Record keeping is an area neglected in most of the offices of Government and Public Sector Undertakings.

Government may make a special drive in this direction so that the records available in the offices of the public authorities are properly

catalogued, indexed and stored in a manner that facilitate easy retrieval of information.

(xi) Inclusion of Right to Information Act in the School Syllabi

Information is indispensable for the functioning of true democracy. People have to be kept informed of the functioning of the

public authorities in the government at large. Right to Information Act, 2005 is a cardinal legislation having its base in the democratic

principles, especially the freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under the Constitution to each and every citizen of India.

Hence, it is recommended that a chapter on the Right to Information Act, 2005 is incorporated in the school syllabi at high school level.

(xii) Intelligence and Security Organisations

Section 24 of the Act provides that the Intelligence and security Organisations specified in the second schedule being

organizations established by the Central Govt or any information furnished by such organizations to that Govt in tune with this provision

8 organisations have been included in the notification issued under SRO.No.127/06 dated 07/02/2006.It is true that Crime Branch(CID)

and District Crime Records Bureau are inclusive of this but this Commission would like to draw the attention of the Govt to the fact that

these two organisations are the Departments dealing with intelligence and Security. The direction of the Director General of Police,

issued under Order No.T41869/07 dated 27/01/2009 advices that complaint regarding Service Conditions, Corruption, human rights

violation need not be excluded from the purview of Right to Information Act,2005.This makes clear that police department itself admit

that certain information are to be divulged.

(xiii) Display of names of Assistant Public Information Officers and Public Information Officers.

It usually happens that people are not properly advised of the procedure to submit requests for information. Section 5(3) of the

Act provides that the public information officer shall render reasonable assistance to the persons who makes request for information.

For easy identification and use, the names of assistant public information officers and public information officers of all offices have to be

displayed in a conspicuous place of the office. Commission has already attempted to intimate all the concerned through a press

advertisement. Government in the General Administration Department may take further appropriate action for its implementation.

(xiv) Central Assistance

Right to Information Act being a Central Act, the State Government have requested for central assistance for its effective

implementation. The assistance requested for is Rs.50 crore. Since implementation of the Act, as envisaged would entail substantial

financial expenditure, it is recommended that Government may pursue action for getting the above central aid at an early date.

covering the districts of Thiruvananthapuram, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kollam and Kottayam and at Thrissur covering the districts of

Thrissur, Eranakulam and Palakkad and at Kozhikode covering the rest of the districts. The expense for this was met by Government of

India, which paid Rs.90,000/- and the expense was Rs.30,000/- per seminar.
