has been stated that the RTI application of the Applicant was replied vide a letter dated 21/08/2010.

number 4 and 5 is incomplete. Further it is pointed out that in reply to query number 7 of the RTI
application it is stated that the query pertains to the Assistant Commissioner’s office. The PIO &
