The Public Informtion Officer, Taluk Office, , . ------The Headquarters Deputy Tahsildar, being the Public Information Officer of the Taluk Office, Papanasam, appeared before the Commission today (27-8-2010) in response to the summons issued by the Commission. The Public Information Officer, Collector’s Office, Thanjavur, who was also summoned for the enquiry, could not be present due to Collectors’ conference.

In this case, the petitioner has asked for information about A- Register copy and FMB Copy of Survey No.322(A) since 1972 of Kabisthalam Village, , among other information, which has not been made available to him till now. The rest of the information asked for by him has been supplied.. The Headquarters Deputy Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Papanasam, at the enquiry held today (27-8-2010), reported to the Commission that the records are not available. The petitioner, who was also present for the enquiry, stated before the Commission that he had heard a conversation in the Taluk Office, Papanasam, among some other staff stating that the records should not be given to the petitioner as it may lead to certain complications. If what the petitioner says is true, there is some vested interest in parting with the information available in the Taluk office.
