NEW DELHI : Public sector enterprises are liable to provide reasons for their administrative decisions on matters related to employees' promotion if any aggrieved person seeks for them, says Central Information Commission (CIC).
The ruling came on a plea filed by Assistant Manager (Civil) of Airports Authority Limited who had sought reasons for denial of promotion to him.
Central Information Commissioner M M Ansari said "under Section 4 (1) (d) of Act (that provides reasons for its administrative or quasi-judicial decision to the affected person), all the public authorities are required to provide reasons for administrative decisions taken by them...the CPIO of the Appellate Authority (AAI) is directed to indicate the reasons for denial of promotion to the appellant within 15 working days."
In another ruling related to the postal department, the CIC said the information on recruitment and promotion should not be treated as confidential.
"Therefore, denial of such information is unjustified. However, the information is to be furnished in the form in which it is available with the respondent," Ansari said in his order on a petition related to a Azamgarh resident.
