O R D E R

The Commission has received a complaint dated 28.9.2011 against the 
PIO/AA,   Delhi   Police,   Southern   Range,   PHQ,   New   Delhi,   against   non­
furnishing of information to his RTI request dated 16.5.2011 and first appeal 
dated 15.7.2011 respectively.

2. Perused the papers submitted by the complainant.   It is observed that 
complainant’s RTI request failed to elicit information either from the CPIO or 
the Appellate Authority.

3. The CPIO is, therefore, directed to furnish the reply to the complainant 
to his  RTI  application  dated  16.5.2011  within  two  weeks  of  receipt  of this 
order.  Failure on part of PIO in complying with the order of the Commission 
with prescribed time would render him liable for penalaction u/s 20(1) of the 
RTI Act, 2005.

4. If the complainant is not satisfied with the reply received from PIO, he 
may   within   the   time   prescribed,   file   his   first   appeal   before   the   appellate 
authority u/s 19(1) of the RTI Act, who shall dispose of the appeal within the 
period stipulated in the RTI Act.

5. The complaint is disposed of with above directions.
