 ORDER 

                   The Commission has received a petition from   Shri Ram Chandra Chanda, 
Jharkhand,   stating   that   his   RTI­application   of  26   April   2010  filed   with   the  S.E 
Railway,   Jharkhand,   has  not  been  responded  to   within  the   time  limit  prescribed 
under the RTI­Act, 2005.  A copy of his complaint is enclosed.

  The   Commission   has   decided   to   treat   this   petition   as   a   complaint   under   Section 
18 of the RTI­Act, 2005, and hereby directs the Public Information Officer, The Store Officer, 
All India Institute Of Medical Sciences to provide the information sought by the Complainant 
by 31.01.2011.  Even if the information has already been provided, another set of the same to 
be supplied to the Complainant in response to this Order.   The Complainant may also be 
allowed   inspection   of   relevant   files   and   be   provided   with   attested   copies   of   documents 
including file noting, if required, keeping in view the provisions of Section 8(1) and (9) of the 
RTI Act, free of cost.  The Complainant may approach the Commission under Section 19(3) of 
the Act, if not satisfied with the information.  The Public Information Officer is also directed to

post or by hand.
