A Haryana oversight panel has directed a Rs 10,000 relief payment to a trustee of the PFA and ordered an investigation after the Right‑to‑Information request remained incomplete for six years.
The state-appointed panel in Haryana has ruled that a trustee of the PFA is to receive a relief amount of Rs 10,000. The decision comes after the panel found that a Right‑to‑Information (RTI) application filed six years ago had not been fully answered.
Panel members said the prolonged incompleteness of the RTI response warranted both monetary relief for the aggrieved trustee and a formal probe into the administrative lapse.
The panel’s order also directs the concerned department to submit a detailed report on why the information remained incomplete for such an extended period.
No further details on the identity of the trustee or the specific information sought were disclosed in the announcement.
The move underscores ongoing concerns about transparency and timely compliance with RTI obligations in state bodies.
