Grounds of First appeal:
No satisfactory information received.

FAA's Order:-
Please refer to Decision No.CIC/SG/C/2011/000002/10760, dated 3.1.2011 regarding seeking information
Under RTI ACT 2005, by you. I am to say that the information sought by you is enclosed herewith. ACP
cases related to staff of institutes under DGET are dealt in DGE&T Hqrs, New Delhi. Whenever proposals
from all the Institutes are received, the meeting for granting of ACP is held. Delay is due to non receipt of
proposals from some Institutes. The ACP cases are considered in Central Govt. Departments only twice in
a year i.e. January and July and hence the delay occasioned.

Ground of Second Appeal:-
The information given by the FAA is in general and it is not specific to the particulars sought by me.
The information given by the FAA is only the letters/reminders send by the Director, ATI-EPI,
Hyderabad. But the information is sought for particularly what action have b en taken in the head quarters.
They supplied the information only for the point no. 8 of my application and other points were
unattended.
Hence, I request the Hon'ble commission to intervene in this matter and help me to get the specific
information for the remaining seven points serially I to 7.
