Dear Sarabjit,.
I request the group members to guide me in drafting application while seeking
information relating to Departmental Enquiries. Order issued by PB is being
taken as guiding factor while disposing off rti applicationin Public Sector
Banks. Infact procedure to be followed undr Section 11 relating to third party
information is also not being followed by the PIOs. Other Public Sectors and
Central Government Departmen ts are generally providing information on
Departmental Enquiries. Why this information is being treated as third party
information only in Banking Industry.
Infact Suspension orders, copies of Charge Sheets and final orders passed in
the Departmental Enqiries are being published in Karnataka State Government.
Therefore all information relating to DEs are treated as public documents in
Karnataka. I am not aware the situation in other States. In another order CIC
has allowed inspection of Departmental Enquiry files in the Delhi Police
Department. To my knowledge Departmental Enquiries are conducted only when an
employee violates the norms and rules set out by the Organisations for its
employees. Any violation of norms and rules by any of its employee will have
to be treated as against Public Interest. Hence DEs are being conducted
against employees to protect the Public Interest as well interest of the
Organisation. Hence classification of information as personal can not be
accepted. However I request the group members to enlighten me in this aspect.
