IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 326 OF 2007 SHRI EKNATH TALKAR, BETIM GOA. ... Petitioner Versus GOA STATE INFORMATION COMMISSION AND ANR., ... Respondents Shri P. A. Kamat, Advocate for the Petitioner. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 1st April, 2010 P.C.:- Heard Shri P. A. Kamat, learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioner. The Respondents have chosen to remain absent. The Petitioner was at the relevant time Secretary of the Village Panchayat. By the impugned Order dated 30-3-2007, the Goa State Information Commission had issued a show cause notice to the Petitioner under Section 20 of the Right to Information Act, 2005. That show cause notice has now ended by imposing some fine on the Petitioner and the Petitioner has not challenged the said Order. This was recorded on 29-3-2010. Shri Kamat, learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioner points out to para 9 of the impugned Order which reads as follows:- "We have observed and satisfied that the Complainant has been harassed and put to much inconvenience and hardship in not providing the information in time and causing abnormal inordinate delay. We, therefore,direct the V.P. Calangute under Section 19(8)(b) of the Act to compensate the Complainant". Shri Kamat, learned Counsel submits that the Petitioner at the relevant time was the Secretary of the Village Panchayat of Calangute and by the above order, the Village Panchayat of Calangute has been asked to compensate the Petitioner. However, it is seen that the Village Panchayat itself has not challenged that part of the impugned Order dated 30-3-2007. Shri Kamat therefore submits, and in my view fairly, that the petition be disposed off by giving liberty to the Village Panchayat to challenge that part of the order in case the Commission initiates further action in terms of the above order. Petition disposed off with liberty as aforesaid. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
