The Karnataka
Information Commission has imposed a penalty of Rs. 5,000 on Ashok Hirolli,
tahsildar at Regional Commissioner Office, for his failure to provide
information sought by RTI activist Sangamnath B Hiregouda on time.
State
Information Commissioner P.G. Vijayakumar, in his order passed on December 6,
2016, a copy of which was released on Monday, rejected the plea of the official
and said that the penalty imposed was payable by the respondent himself.

had sought details of the funds spent on development works at
Sharanabasaveshwar lake and the revenue generated by selling entry tickets at
the garden here, in August 2014.
Mr. Hirolli
failed to provide the information even after two years and five months.
