I want to bring your kind notice to the state private universities that are looting innocent students with both hands and filling their coffer with money.
I filed an application under RTI Act to seek some information from Lovely Profession University distance education whose study center working all over India on dated[protected].
When LPU PIO failed to furnish information within stipulated time I wrote a complaint to State Information Commission Punjab.
State Information Commission after examining the documents placed on record it is found insufficient reply and ordered that PIO of office the Registrar Lovely Professional University Jalandhar to file her reply to the show cause issued to her vide orders dated[protected] before or on the next date of hearing.
On dated 12 May 2015 SICP show cause issued vide order dated[protected] for willful delay /denial in supplying the information. In this reply Lovely Professional University RPIO had many excuses to avoid furnish any answer of the RTI application.
Another false point in the reply that therefore, on receiving a copy of the original RTI request of the complaint addressed to the undersigned along with the order of the Hon’able Commission sent on 24 March 2015 in which LPU written that requisite information had been supplied to the complaint on[protected] and that was duly acknowledged by the complainant and he was satisfied with the same.
In fact LPU has not furnished any information to me till date. A number of people from Lovely Professional University followed me continuous to withdraw RTI application. They requested me to sign a letter if I do not sign the letter there will be a fine in the state information commissioner court to the LPU.
At last LPU authority got success to convince our NGO chairman and he assured me to sign the letter and he will get information within two or three days. To avoid mental harassment I signed on the letter on 15th April 2015 one day before the date of hearing in the SICP on this condition that they will provide me requisite information within time. Instead of provide information to me, on 13th May 2015 LPU supplied the letter signed by me to SICP that applicant is satisfied and got information. Sh. Chander Parkash SICP adjourned the case no 135 of 2015.
After some days, we filed two more application to seek same information from LPU. In the State Information commission Punjab, on hearing date 2 February 2016 in the court of Punjab State Information Commissioner Harinder Pal Singh Maan (case no 3088 of 2015) & SICP Yashbir Mahajan (case no 3815 of 2015), the LPU advocate presented same letter which they have signed in cheating from me that they have supplied the information to the applicant.

Actually Lovely Professional University did not furnish any answer to my any RTI application. Now question arises that why should LPU hide information what is there embezzlement in the record or why do they conceal all information. It shows that LPU has a big scam in education field and the government department MHRD UGC and higher education authority must investigate all the record of Lovely Professional University as soon as possible.
Punjab State Information Commissioner Chander Pakash, Harinder Pal Singh Maan and Yashbir Mahajan never asked once a time to Lovely Professional University’s advocate to bring same information which they have supplied to Shri Paul Sharma on behalf they got signature on the letter from him that he has received information. It shows that all information commissioners are helping LPU respondent to conceal information.
I request to you to investigate all records of Lovely Professional University to find transparency in the account and student detail. Is LPU working fairly to provide education to students as per law under UGC, MHRD and Society Act.
Yours
