ORDER

1. The appellant, Shri Ratnesh Kumar, submitted RTI application dated 16.03.2015 before the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), State Bank of India, Darbhanga seeking CCTV footage of ATM situated at Bankura Sardamoni Girls School from 11.00 am to 11.25 am along with the names and addresses, mobile numbers who transacted in the same ATM; also sought the name and mobile number of security guard posted at that ATM.


2. The CPIO vide letter dated 09.04.2015 informed the appellant that the information as sought could not be provided in the absence of account number of the account holder. Dissatisfied with the reply of the CPIO, the appellant filed an appeal on 20.04.2015 before the first appellate authority (FAA). The Chief Manager, SBI, Patna vide letter dated 05.05.2015 informed the appellant that his appeal had been forwarded to the CPIO, SBI, Darbhanga for necessary action. The CPIO vide letter dated 18.05.2015 requested the appellant to remit Rs. 1750/- towards the cost of providing CCTV footage. The appellant vide letter dated 17.6.2015 sent a DD of Rs. 1750/- to the CPIO. The CPIO vide letter dated 17.7.2015 returned the DD to the appellant on the grounds that the DD was wrongly addressed in the name of Shri Arun Kumar Pandey, Regional Manager, SBI, Darbhanga. The appellant again sent a fresh DD in favour of RM, RBO, Darbhanga. The CPIO again returned the DD requesting the appellant to send the DD in favour of SBI.

3. Thereafter dissatisfied with the decision of the CPIO, the appellant filed the instant appeal before the Commission on 19.09.2015 stating that the CCTV footage had not been provided by the respondents.

4. The matter was heard by the Commission. The appellant was not present in spite of a notice of hearing having been sent to him. The respondents stated that the CCTV footage could not be provided to the appellant due to technical reasons. They stated that ATM were managed by N.C.R, who were manufacturers of ATM There was no provision of safety guards. However, the CPIO vide letter dated 25.07.2015 provided the name and account number of the account holder who used the ATM at Bankura Sardamoni Girls School from 11.00 am to 11.25 am, except the CCTV footage and an amount of Rs. 1750/- was refunded to the appellant.

5. Having considered the submissions of the respondents, the Commission observes that the appellant had been appropriately responded by the respondents and refunded the amount of Rs. 1750/- to the appellant, towards cost of CCTV footage, which could not be provided to the appellant due to technical reasons. The Commission finds that the CPIO asked the appellant to submit a demand draft of Rs. 1750/- without checking if the video footage was available. He has shown a careless attitude while dealing with the RTI application, in as much as the appellant had to get demand drafts made. The CPIO is, therefore, directed to refund the amount of commission which had been incurred by the appellant for making the DDs in question within fifteen days of receipt of this order. The appeal is disposed of.
