IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH: NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.2722 OF 2008 Balasaheb Waghmode ..vs.. Ramrao Umbarkar & ors ================================== CORAM: B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE:20.10.2008 Heard Advocate Kaptan for petitioner, Advocate Choudhari for respondent no.1 and learned A.G.P. for respondent no.2. It is apparent that information was applied for on 9.3.2006 and within statutory period of one month no steps were taken by the petitioner even to point out to the applicant that requested information and records were not in his custody and therefore, applicant should approach the appropriate authority. The first communication dated 5.5.2006 is after expiry of statutory period prescribed under section 7 of R.T.I. Act. In these circumstances when the show cause notice was given to petitioner by competent authority and his reply was called for and considered, the authority has acted within sphere of its jurisdiction in imposing the fine. I do not find any case made out warranting interference in writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is dismissed. JUDGE smp.
