[Resolved]  Indane — Phagwara Gas Service running with invalid distributorship documents

PHAGWARA GAS SERVICE, PHAGWARA; INVALID INDANE DEALER DISTRIBUTION DOCUMENT

AGENCY RUNNING FROM LAST 21 YEARS; NO ONE TO CHECK
Honourable Sir/ Madam,
In response to my RTI application I got a reply from the Public Information officer, Indian oil Corporation Ltd, Marketing Division, Chandigarh. The PIO himself admit that the Distributorship agreement (15 Pages) made by Indian Oil Corporation and Phagwara Gas Service, Industrial Area, Phagwara has not been signed by any authority and there is no seal on the agreement. Though it is valid document and the said Indane dealer is running its agency from the last 21 years i.e. from 30th Sep 1982. Kindly look in to the following point.
Point:

The PIO has not sent the actual copy of the distributorship agreement (15 pages) does not contain name of the person signing the agreement on behalf of the public authority; the copy as sent to me has having no signature on every page and has no seal in the agreement. Hence it seems to be fake document.
Response:

On the basis of available copy of the Agreement in our record, we stnd by the authenticity of the photocopy of the Agreement sent to you. You are welcome to compare/verify the same with the copy available in our records on any working day.

The matter o[censored]r asking for charges per page was disposed of by CIC by directing us to provide the information free of cost. Accordingly the information, which actually comprises 46 pages, had been sent to you. Possibly, there was error in counting the pages initially. However inspection report dated 12.11.08 comprising 6 jpages which were stated to be illegible by you, are being re-sent.

Point:

The IOCL has not sent the copies to our Q.2.
Response:

The information desired by you is contained in Section 3 of the Order LPG (Regulation of supply and distribution) order 2000 which has already been provided to you with reference to your Query no. 1(g).

The issue raised is not clear. However, based on what can be surmised from it, we will like to clarify that copy of LPG (Regulation of supply and distribution) order, 2000 provided to you was copy downloaded by us from the website http://admis.hp.nic.in/ehimapurti/pdfs/lpg2000.pd[censored]p to schedule II of the order. A published copy of the order has been purchased by us from the market and is forwarded herewith. By comparing what we have sent to you earlier with the contents of the published copy sent now, you will find that nothing of any substance has been withheld from you. The said order is relevant and applicable to the information sought against Q2 of your RTI application.

Hence it seems to be fake document.
