3. The Appellant had sought some information regarding a number of
complaints and appeals he had filed before the CIC. Although the CPIO had
informed him about the status of those, the Appellant submitted that two of his
complaints seemed to have been misplaced by the Commission as the CPIO
had not made any reference to those in his reply. He pleaded that those
complaints should be traced and appropriate action taken.
4. After carefully considering the facts of the case and especially in view of
the fact that the CIC had sent acknowledgement on receipt of those complaints,
now claimed as untraceable, we would like the CPIO to mount a fresh search
for those missing complaints and, if found, to place those before the Information
Commissioner concerned for further necessary action. We direct the CPIO to
look for these complaints and intimate the Appellant about the outcome of his
search within 10 working days from the receipt of this order. In case, the
complaints are not traceable for any reason, the CPIO shall inform the
Appellant accordingly.
5. The appeal is disposed off accordingly.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
