Background
The Commission in its order on 31.07.2007 directed the Zonal Joint Registrar of-Co-operative
Societies, Jorhat to make a submission why action should not be taken under Section 19(8)(B)
of the RTI Act for his inaction which caused detriment to the petitioner. It was also ordered
that the submission should reach the Commission by 20-08-2007.
The Commission has since received his submission in which he has stated that he took
charge of the post of Zonal Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Jorhat on
31.07.2007 only. The previous incumbent Shri Shakil Ahmed has retired from service.
He has sent the Commission's order to him for his necessary action.
The Zonal Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Jorhat has also assured the Commission that
in future he would be careful in dealing with the RTI matters.
Order of the Commission
As the respondent has just joined his office, he was not connected with the affairs of the
office prior to his joining for which he could not be held responsible. The Commission has
taken note of his assurance of giving due importance to RTI matters in future. The Commission
therefore decided not to proceed further in invoking the provision of Section 19(8)(B) of the Act.
