Habib Vis Jain Vishva Bharati Institut~, Ladnun (Raj.) "Appelhlnt ~ Respondents  "" Dr. Mohd. Habib, Deptt. of Religious Studies" Punjabi University, Patiala 147002 (Punjab) Public Information Officer, Jain Vishva Bharti Institute (Deemed University), Ladnun 341306 (Raj.) APPEAL UNDER RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT, 2005 DECISION Dated: 16.4.2008 Appellant Dr. Mohd. Habib moved an application under section 6 subsection (1) of RTI Act to the Public Information Officer of Jain Vishva Bharati Institute (Deemed University) on 15.9.2007 regarding photo copies of documents relating to services rendered by Dr. Pradyumn Shah Singh as Assistant Director, Directorate of Distance Education of JVBI before joining as a Lecturer in Guru Govind Singh Department of Religious Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala. In response to the application a copy of letter dated 18.10.2007 was received by him. He, therefore, moved an other application on 29.10.2007. A reply to this did not satisfy him and he moved third application. Even a response to this was not found satisfactory and an appeal was submitted under section 19( 1) of R TI Act. This appeal was not decided. Hence the instant appeal before the Commission. 2. In the written statement Registrar of the University submitted that the University was not a Public Authority. Yet they had provided information against all the three applications to the appellant. ,.} e;OY~ C!tJ) :::::. .. ,,,, ,',",") ~ "~~t'~ .,.,,, . .' ~. ~t ;~ :t " ,..." ,1' I. ~j~ ~ar ~ Rajasthan Information Commission ft JAIPUR - .........  - - ~ -- 3. Sarvshri Bhandari and Vaid appeared on behalf of the resP2EP~nts and submitted that the University was not a Public Authority I they were " not under obligation to provide the information on an application under R TI Act. 4. The appellant did not make his appearance to plead his case. He, however, submitted a rejoinder wherein it has been pleaded that respondent University was established under section 3 of UDG Act and as such was covered under the definition of Public Authority as provided in section 2(h)(d) ofRTI Act. 5. I have heard the respondents in detail and have gone through all the papers available on the file. 6. The moot point for decision, in the instant appeal, is whether Jain Vishva Bharati Institute (deemed University) now known as Jain Vishva Bharati University, is a public authority as defined in RTI Act and as such are liable to provide information on an application moved under the Act. Section 2(h) of RTI Act defines Public Authority as under:  "Public Authority" means any authority or body or institution of self-government established or constituted  (a) (b) (c) (d) by or under the Constitution; by any other law made by Parliament; by any other law made by State Legislature; by notification issued or order made by the appropriate Government, and includes any  (i) body owned, controlled or substantially financed; (ii) non-Government organization substantially financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the appropriate Government. -  Jain Vishva Bharati is not an authority or body or Institution of Self Government established and constituted (a) by or under the constitution. It is not a body under a Law made by Parliament or State Legislature. It is also not a body established by a notification issued or made by State or Central Government. It is not a body owned, controlled or substantially financed directly or indirectly by the funds ..... ~ . ,T ~ II v--- I. "'1-  11..~ ..~ , f , IlfgIStIar Rajasthan InfonnatioD Commission JAIPUR :, provided by the Government. Jain Vishva Bharati on the other hand is a Society registered under Societies Registration Act and notified as deemed University under section 3 of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. An institution so notified as deemed University necessarily does not fall under the category of Government constituted, controlled or owned one. As per sub-section (f) of section 2 of UGC Act, the University has been defined as follows: --- --- ~~ -~ - --~ - ,,---,. 7. 8. 9. 11. "University" means a University established or incorporated by or under a Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act, and includes any such institution as may, in consultation with the University concerned, be recognized by the Commission in accordance with the regulations made in this behalf under this Act. It is clearly indicated that notification only recognizes the institution as University. It would depend entirely on the nature of the institute for declaration it a Public Authority. The respondents claim that they did not get any regular grant from the Government. The appellant has not produced any evidence as would prove that this registered Society is substantially financed by the Government. On this touchstone it is clearly established that Jain Vishva Bharti University is not a Public Authority. As such it is not under the purview of the R TI Act. Since the respondent University is not a Public Authority the provisions of R TI Act are not applicable on it. The Commission therefore, has no jurisdiction to compel it to provide the information. This appeal therefore, is without any substance and it is hereby dismissed. 10. Copies of the order be sent to both the parties. Pronounced. ~ ( M.D. Kaurani ) Chief Information Commissioner Au~ticated Rajasthan~' JAIPUR ~_.... ''''".
