Versus State Information Commission, Punjab and others ...Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. H.C. Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. By way of instant writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 7.1.2010 (Annexure P-8) whereby respondent No.1 held that there was no malafide on the part of respondent No.2 in denying the information to the petitioner. Respondent No.1-State Information Commission, Punjab while declining the prayer of the petitioner for taking action against respondent No.2 for not providing information within the time prescribed under the Right to Information Act, 2005 in paras 3 to 5 of its order, had recorded as under:- “3. In this case, it is observed that while allotting the G.P. Fund account number to the complainant, the name of Smt. Darshana Devi was wrongly entered as Smt. Darshana Kaur CWP No. 3298 of 2010 -2- due to which after her retirement delay occurred in making the payment of G.P. Fund. 4. As directed during the hearing dated 3.12.2009, respondent has filed an affidavit that the letter of G.P.F. allotment which was issued by Accountant General, Punjab, Chandigarh is not traceable in the office. 5. I do not find it a case of malafide denial of information. So no penal action is required to be taken against the PIO. However, the Civil Surgeon, Bathinda is directed to issue strict instructions to the staff to maintain the record properly, so that such situation may not arise in future. The case is disposed of and closed....” After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, this Court is satisfied that there is nothing to show that the aforesaid order is erroneous or perverse in any manner. Moreover, no ground to exercise its jurisdiction by this Court under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India is made out. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed in limine.
