1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 4333/2009. ( Vividh karyakari Seva Sahkari Sanstha -: versus :- Shri L.U. Gondane, Public Information Officer and others ) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : JANUARY 27, 2010. Heard Ms. G.R. Bamblani, learned counsel for petitioner, Shri A.P. Chaware, learned counsel for respondent no.1, learned A.G.P. for respondent nos. 2 and 3 and Shri A.D. Vyawahare, learned Counsel for respondent no.4. Learned counsel for petitioner is trying to contend that provisions of Right to Information Act, are not applicable to the petitioner – Cooperative Society, as it is not a public authority at all. Learned Counsel for respondent nos. 1 and 4 and learned AGP for respondent nos. 2 and 3 contend that the public funds have been released to the petitioner for loan waiver and hence, the contention of petitioner is not correct. I have perused the relevant papers and also the judgment of learned Single Judge of this Court reported at 2009 [3] Mh.L.J. 364 (Dr. Punjabrao Deshmukh Urban Cooperative .vrs. State Information Commissioner) on which the petitioner is placing reliance. Perusal of application at 2 page no.28 submitted by the respondent no.4 shows that he wanted detailed true copy of entire loan waiver list, pass book of Kisan Credit Cards. Respondent no.4 demanded the documents only by way of information and those documents are mentioned only under the head of subject of his application dated 10.08.2008. Whose pass book and whose Kisan Credit Card is demanded is not very clear. Shri Vyawahare, learned Counsel has invited attention to note at the bottom of the application to show that he wanted pass book of Rameshwar and pass book of his father Sukhram. At the end of note, it is mentioned that fees for Kisan Credit Cards and pass books are paid/deposited by the respondent no.4. If the pass book belongs to Sukhram and applicant wanted his and his fathers' pass book, the question was whether it was also sought by way of information under the Right to Information Act. What applicant wanted by way of detailed true copy of entire list of loan waiver or entire loan waiver list, is not very clear. In this position, I find it difficult to appreciate the contentions being raised by the petitioner. Respondent no.4 is therefore, given liberty to move fresh application giving the particulars of information which he needs. Liberty to petitioner to deal with it in accordance with the law. It is made clear that, all contentions raised by the parties are kept open. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with no order as to cost. JUDGE Rgd.
