An act of violation of the Right to Information rule is punishable with fine and punishment

Vadodara: As per the resolution of the state government by the City Primary Education Committee, meritorious certificates are given twice every year on August 15 and January 26 and the best teacher award in various categories on September 5. Due to many irregularities, the rti reply made by a teacher was not given for one and a half years, finally today the court of the Information Commissioner has ordered to give all the information within two days by reprimanding those responsible in this matter.

The teacher sought information about the process of selection of senior teachers as well as talented teachers  in the City Primary Education Committee.

This teacher has given a talent certificate for the session of January-2023 and on September 5th. The Director of Primary Education, Gandhinagar, for January 2023, had banned the distribution of certificates. However, certificates were distributed on the recommendations of the local leadership. Finally, there was no response to  the RTI filed by the victim teacher, after which the appeal was made, no hearing was conducted, finally another appeal was made before the Gujarat Information Commission, but no action was taken.

 Meanwhile, the case will be heard today on September 3. As he walked into the information commissioner's court at the collector's office through video conferencing on November, the public information officer (invigilator) of the pro-education committee defended that he was in charge. In addition to the inspector, the court pulled up the first appellate officer (governor), saying, "To be in charge is only if it has been accepted, so there is a responsibility as a public information officer." By not giving information, not replying and not hearing, it has violated the right to information act- 2005. This act deserves fine and punishment. The court ordered that the applicant should give all the information sought to the teacher free of cost and if he is found to be dissatisfied, the applicant can re-open the case.
