2013 (9) TMI 1011 - JHARKHAND HIGH COURTNon supply of information sought under RTI Act - Imposition of penalty - informations relating to the persons who are availing of old age pension - Held that:- Applicant namely, Bhuveneshwar Modi has preferred applications dated 19-7-2011, 27-9-2011 and 24-10-2011 seeking diverse informations. Some of the informations sought by the applicant are definitely neither in the public interest nor within the ambit of the Right to Information Act, 2005. One of such informations would relate to disclosure of total number of persons in the Block who had been receiving pension illegally by suppressing their actual age and the truth. The information sought at serial No. 4 in application dated 19-7-2011 of the applicant would relate to disclosure of name of officers at whose instance financial scam in the country happened. I am of the definite opinion that request for furnishing such informations, is an abuse of the provision contained in the Act and this aspect of the matter has been completely ignored by the Commission while dealing with the present matter. I further find that the petitioner on several occasions, made a request for permitting her authorised representative to appear in the matter and it has been recorded in the impugned order dated 24-9-2012 that on the last date, the petitioner could not appear before the Commission as her daughter was ill. - impugned order is liable to be quashed - Decided in favour of appellant.
