Both the petitions were transferred to the Director of Employment & Craftsmanship Training, Assam by the Secretary of the Commission vide letter dated 6.6.07. Again on 9.8.07, the Secretary of the Commission forwarded a complaint petition received from the petitioner for disposal from his end.

Submission of the parties
The complainant stated that he was furnished information in response to his petition dated 10.2.07 by the SPIO of the Directorate of Employment and Craftsmanship which was not complete. He also did not get any information in reply to his petition dated 17.2.07 from the SPIO. He submitted that the information given in response to para 1 to 3 were not correct as the records were available with the Director. He also stated that he did not receive information relating to paras 12,13,15 and relating to paras from 17 to 32.

The SPIO of the Directorate stated that the replies to paras 1 to 3 were available with the Director and his reply was based on the suggestion of the then Director. He also stated that he did not get all the information from the concerned authorities. The Director stated that as he was new to the job, he was not aware whether all the information as asked for were available in his office but whatever information was available in his Directorate would be furnished to the complainant. He would also take steps to get the information collected and given relating to the petition dated 17.2.07.

Observation of the Commission:
The Commission observed that the complainant sought for information on 32 points vide his petition dated 10-2-07 and on 40 points vide his petition dated 17-2-07. It was also observed that most of the information relating to the proceedings against the complainant were available with the complainant as the complainant confirmed that the departmental proceedings against him was disposed of and the Director had discharged him from service. Many of the information sought by him were in the nature of opinion and not really information. Being a public servant, the complainant was expected to know the rights under the RTI Act and could have sought for specific information in a direct manner and not in a round about way.

However, the Commission found it necessary and expedient to consult both the parties in order to sort out the difficulties of furnishing information on vague and nonspecific points and after due consultations, desired that the complainant. should cull out the points to which he wanted information and prepare a fresh petition taking note of all the points raised by him in his application dated 10-2-07 and 17-2-07. Then the Director Employment & Craftsmanship Training as well as the SPIO should compile and prepare the information as sought for by the complainant.

Decision of the Commission:
On careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case the Commission decided to direct the complainant to submit a fresh petition to the SPIO of the Directorate of Employment & Craftsmanship Training listing in a precise and concise way the information required by him for which he would not be required to pay any further application fee. On receipt of the petition, the SPIO in consultation with the Director should furnish complete information within 30 days free of charge.
