The Central Information Commission is contemplating to make public all the property transactions taking place in the national capital and has sought the views of the Delhi government on it.
The case relates to RTI applicant S P Manchanda, who sought to know from the revenue department of Delhi government the registration details of a property traded by him in 2000 but was informed that they do not maintain the property-wise list.
The department informed him that it would be impossible to locate from the records when the particular property was registered.
Manchanda then approached the commission and said he wanted to inspect the records himself to get the information.
He suggested to the commission that details of property transactions should be
made public and put on the website for easy access.
"The commission has been informed by the Respondent that after 2006 all property transactions are being maintained on computers.
"The commission directs the Divisional Commissioner to send his views on the subject of putting the details of property transactions on the website to the commission before December 25, 2010," Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi said.
He also directed the department to allow Manchanda to inspect all the relevant files.
