ORDER
Shri Vijay Pal Sagar of Delhi has complained to the Central Information
Commission that he received no reply/information from the Central Public
Information Officer although he had filed his RTIapplication on 4 July 2011. A
copy each of the RTIapplication and the complaint are enclosed for ready
reference.
2. It is noted that the Complainant did not have an opportunity to go to the
Appellate Authority and has directly approached the Commission with his
complaint. In exercise of powers vested under Section 18(1) of the Right to
Information (RTI) Act, we direct the Appellate Authority to enquire into the
allegations made by the Complainant and after giving him an opportunity of
hearing, to pass an appropriate order with a view to ensuring that the desired
information is provided to the Complainant without any further loss of time. If,
however, the CPIO/Appellate Authority had responded in time and provided the
desired information, please let us know at the earliest.
3. We also direct the Appellate Authority to obtain the explanation of the
CPIO in writing for not providing the information in time and to forward the same
to us along with his comments before 31 October 2011. We will decide on the
imposition of penalty on the CPIO in terms of Section 20(1) of the Right to
Information (RTI) Act thereafter.
4. In case the Complainant is not satisfied with the orders of the Appellate
Authority, he is free to approach this Commission again in second appeal.
5. The Commission ordered accordingly.
