ORDER
Mr. Dinesh Joshi, the Complainant had filed an RTI application dated 15.1.2010 seeking
certain information from the CPIO. Aggrieved with the reply of the CPIO, he has filed the present
complaint before the Commission on 22.06.2010. Primafacie it appears that the Complainant
has not utilized the scope of filing an appeal before the First Appellate Authority, Ministry of Home
Affairs, New Delhi. The C.P.I.O is, therefore, directed to forward the complaint along with RTI
application of the Complainant to the First Appellate Authority who is directed to dispose of the
case by considering it as a first appeal within the stipulated period under the RTI Act, 2005. A
copy of the complaint is enclosed herewith. The Complainant is at liberty to file a second appeal
afresh before the Commission if he is not satisfied with the decision of the First Appellate
Authority.
The matter is disposed of accordingly.
