ORDER
Sh. S. Mukherjee, the Appellant, has filed the present appeal before the
Commission on the grounds that he has been provided in complete information by the
Respondent. The Appellant had filed an RTI application dated 24.08.2010, seeking
information on 5 points regarding matters relating to grant of promotion from the post of
Assistant Foreman to the post of Foreman.
Having heard the Respondent and perused the relevant documents on file, the
Commission is of the view that the requisite reply to query no. 1 and 5 of the RTI
application have been provided by the Respondent. However, at query no. 2 of the RTI
application where the Appellant wanted to know whether promotion from Assistant
Foremen (TechC) to Foreman (TechB) is on senioritycummerit or on meritcum
seniority basis, the Commission observes that requisite reply has not been provided to the
Appellant. The Commission, therefore, directs the Respondent PIO to provide a copy of
the scheme or at least of the relevant pages of the scheme to the Appellant. A copy of the
notesheet and office order or constitution of D.P.C., which has also not been provided is
also to be provided to the Appellant, free of cost, within 15 days of receipt of the order.
With these directions the matter is disposed of on the part of the Commission.
