As reported by Bureau Report - Zee News

New Delhi, Sep 04: All public authorities including dargah committees should "pro-actively" disclose details of employees and remuneration paid to them, the Central Information Commission has said.

The ruling came on a petition filed by an individual against refusal by Dargah Committee Khwaja Saheb in Ajmer for details on employees recruited by it.

Central Information Commissioner M M Ansari ordered the Committee to provide the information within 15 days to the complainant.

Abdul Mugni Chisti had earlier filed an RTI with the Committee for information on employees recruitment and payments to them.

However, Chief Public Information Officer and the appellate authority had refused to furnish the details citing that required information was not specified.

The Commission said, "respondent (dargah) should have published information relating to the details of employees so that the information seeker doesn't have to ask for it."

The Commission also allowed Chisti to freely inspect the relevant records related to details of the employees including their educational qualification, experience and as well as remuneration paid to them.
