Central Information Commission
F. No.CIC/AT/A/2008/00024
Dated : 28.05.2008
Appellant rep by : Shri Surinder Choudhary Respondents rep by : Central Board of Excise & Customs
This matter came up for hearing on 28.05.2008. The appellant was present, while the respondents were absent.
2. What the appellant has stated through his 2nd appeal-petition in this case is, “As the appellant was not paid 5% of the reward of the total recovery of Rs. 11713520 + penalty Rs. 11713520 but out of Rs. 685000/- the appellant received only Rs. 50,000/- and thus rest of Rs. 635000/- is to be paid to the appellant even though the final decision is pending” and, hence in filing this appeal he was seeking “ the rest of reward which may be directed to be paid to the appellant”.
3. RTI-Act does not authorize this type of usage i.e. force public authority to take a decision regarding payment of reward amount allegedly unpaid. Request fails the test of Section 2 (f).
4. Appeal fails. Rejected.
5. Copy of this decision be sent to the parties.
(A.N. TIWARI) Information Commissioner
