Sachin Tendulkar not Bat RTI info on fine he paid for Bandra bungalow.Sachin Tendulkar Refuse to give any type of information under RTI Act where he had moved into the bungalow without procuring the mandatory OC. Following a controversy over the "illegal occupancy", the Master Blaster paid a penalty to the civic authority.
Master blaster and MP-in-waiting Sachin Tendulkar has no-balled public disclosure of his Bandra bungalow details. In particular, Tendulkar does not want the fine he paid for occupying his new home without an occupation certificate to be revealed under the RTI (Right to Information) Act. "In Sachin Tendulkar's case, he has objected to information pertaining to his home being revealed under RTI to a third party," the BMC said in a reply to me. I had asked the civic body for information about the fine levied on Tendulkar and the amount he paid for occupying his multi-storey bungalow on Perry Cross Road at Bandra. "Civic officials have violated the RTI Act by refusing to furnish the details bcz when any case where levies charge, that doucment automatically Become a part of Record".Last year Tendulkar had moved into the bungalow without procuring the mandatory OC. Following a controversy over the "illegal occupancy", the cricketer paid a penalty to the civic authority. By Misusing the The 11 (1) Rule of RTI Act "The BMC asked Tendulkar whether the information sought should be provided to the applicant. Then He objected to furnishing of details of the fine imposed on him. Therefore, the former municipal commissioner decided against the applicant.
In this case question arises why Bmc made this RTI Third Party case bcz levied charge itself a part of official Record & Record couldn't have Third Party claim even he or she involved. Our NGO Athak Seva Sangh wrote to Municipal Commissioner & Complaint that Bmc officer unnecessary divert Rti plea. We also demand that if Tendulkar can get OC after pay levies then throughout Mumbai apply Tendulkar Pattern to Sanction OC to Societies & Buildings who r unable to get OC same like Tendulkar. We waiting for justice & excepted Quick move by Municipal Commissioner.
Sir, According to constitutional law of RTI act, 2005 the revenue in any form (License fees, penalty charges etc...) earn by Public Authority (Govt. department) is become part of Public money hence refusal under sec 11 is non-maintainable. Pls, file 2nd appeal with prayer (1) disclose information sought by you (2) order Public authority to charge penalty under sec 20 (1) of RTI act, 2005 for wilfully obstructed information by taking unfair shelter of sec 11 (3) Order for Departmental punishment for wilfully obstructed information by taking unfair shelter of sec 11. (4) under sec 19 Demand Compensation Rs.500 for your time & money for compel to file 1st appellate officer then 2nd appeal ONLY for stupid stand taken by PIO to suppress information by taking non-maintainable stand of sec 11.
ReplyDeletePls, file another RTI, ask info about the date of which PIO (Who refused info)declare each & every details about assets Movable / Non-movable pertains to him self / his dependents / his spouse on service record as per service rules.
Then write one letter to BMC vigilance dept to find out his total assets & compare with his declaration with service record. As well as write one letter to Anti corruption Bureau to do scrutiny of each BMC employee (all rank) about their honest declaration of assets on service record as per service rules.
If, You do continue follow up then You will be success to teach PIO a lesson for suppress the Info.
