Hon'ble members. In view of your friend, decision to display the order of Hon'ble commissioners on the website of U.P.S.I.C. can be considered as one of positive steps towards transparency. Here in the display, no any orders of some commissioners have been displayed. Whether these Hon'ble commissioners did not pass any landmark order in respect to made available information to information seeker. Whatever may be, this display will reveal the actual fact which is goingon in U.P.S.I.C.

UPSIC orders available online now

LUCKNOW: The RTI applicants who make several rounds of the state information commission to obtain the copy of the orders pertaining to their RTI applications will heave a sigh of relief. The Uttar Pradesh State Information Commission (UPSIC) has finally started uploading its orders on the website. Applicants can log on to the commission's website (upsic.up.nic.in) and get the orders downloaded.

The applicants can do it from their respective districts. Officials at the commission shared that orders are being uploaded on a daily basis, as soon as the copy of the judgment is made available to the online department.The commission is also planning to upload the orders passed in the past. "But that will take sometime," said officials. The digitalisation of records at the commission was a long-pending move. There were growing complaints that applicants were being harassed by the staff of the commission when they sought the copy of the orders. The online data will cut down the complaints.The commission had got central funds to make its data available online, last financial year. In response to an RTI query, the department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), New Delhi, said it had allocated Rs 21 lakh to the commission for digitalisation.

The commission had got funds, in the past as well, to make most of its functioning online. However, the commission could only upload the information about upcoming cases for hearing, in all these years, to inform the applicants.The UPSIC will enter its seventh year of functioning on March 22, 2012. And, it still does not have compiled data on number of orders passed by different information commissioners. The digitalisation of records can make it possible.

Hon'ble members. How can information seekers seek their respective districts? Respected correspondent may take a glance of website of U.P.S.I.C. which reveals day to day update of orders of Hon'ble CIC & ICs is a false claim. For kind information of respected correspondent, there are some information whose important orders are either awaiting to be updated on the website or they have not passed any important order. Thanks to CIC of U.P.S.I.C. who passed 129 important orders. Being an R.T.I. Activist of the state of U.P., my request to U.P.S.I.C. is that if any recovery of penalty has been made from any defaulter PIO, then that story may be updated on the website of U.P.S.I.C.
