The Appellant was present in person.
On behalf of the Respondent, the following were present:
(i) Shri Satish, CPIO,
(ii) Shri Suresh, PIO
2. We heard this case through videoconferencing. The Appellant and one
of the Respondents were present in the Gandhi Nagar studio of the NIC. Some
other Respondents were present in the Bangalore studio. We heard their
submissions.
3. The Appellant had wanted the photocopies of the appointment orders
issued to 10 employees, their typing papers and the notification of vacancy. The
CPIO had provided photocopies of appointment orders for six of the employees
CIC/SM/A/2010/000007
while claiming that no appointment order had been issued to the remaining four.
He had also severed the postal address of five of these employees while
providing the copies of their appointment orders. Besides, he had not provided
him with the copy of the vacancy notification. After hearing the submissions of
both the parties, we are of the view that the CPIO should provide the
photocopies of the appointment orders without deleting any address etc. We
therefore direct him to provide to the Appellant within 10 working days from the
receipt of this order the photocopies of the appointment orders of all the known
employees without deleting any detail and that of the vacancy notification, if
available. If the vacancy notification is not available even after renewed search,
the CPIO shall clearly state so in his reply.
4. With the above directions, the appeal is disposed off.
5. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
