MONTHLY STATEMENT OF CASES PENDING FINALISATION OVER FOR 3 MONTHS HAS TO BE SUPPLIED ON THE PRESCRIBED FORMAT AND FOR WHICH THE DEPARTMENT CONCERNED MUST FOLLOW LAW CODE MANUAL ,IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND TRANSPARENCY IN ADMININISTRATION.

It is becoming a difficult task to take benefits of the charter of public accountability act under the provision made by RTI and RTS act adjudication for which the First appellate authority is responsible to review the cases in regard to in complete information and malafide intension of PIO as well as wrong interpretation of law code manual prefixed by the efficiency in administration required to be maintained by the higher office and authority in this behalf.The case file related to the monthly statement pending finalisation over for 3 months with effect from 3-1-2022 has been delayed by saying that year wise description has not been made even though only one year is covered after 3-1-2022 to date demand under law code manual prefixed by the RTI act publications.As for as the duty and responsibility of the department is concerned a letter has already been issued by the Head of Department to issue monthly statement of case as pending since long vide number PWE -113 -(Misc) -ES -111- 2758-59 dated 12-7-2023 however the order of the FAA still reluctant to admit delay and dereliction of duty as pointed by the format of the monthly statement vide column (8),(9) and 10 which is ultimately required to be reported by the Public information officer to higher office and authority with copy to the department of Administrative reforms (DOPT) .No doubt the order issued by the FAA cum Superintending Engineer HPPWD Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh issued vide number 4207-08 dated 3-8-23 is accepting the delay and dereliction of duty and ordering for the free of cost delivery of the information but at the same time said office and authority is too responsible to protect the instructions of the duty manual prefixed by the monthly statement of cases pending finalisation over for 3 months and issue statement on the prescribed format of the department of Administrative reforms organisation working for the good governance and accountability.More and more delay would be continued because of the non compliance and wrong interpretation of law (monthly statement of pending cases) for which applicant is compelled to again file Appeal before the State information commission and demand justice for which the concerned office and authority is responsible to do the needful under law code manual and release statement on the prescribed format of the government which is applicable for the report and returns in case of delay and dereliction of duty with notice to inform the level at which the case file held pending and since when along with the reason for said delay.
