The Appellant was not present in spite of notice.
On behalf of the Respondent, Shri Sriram Reddy, PIO was present.
2. We heard these three cases through videoconferencing. In spite of
notice, the Appellant was not present. The Respondents were present in the
Nellore studio of the NIC. We heard their submissions. We also carefully
perused the RTI application as well as the reply given by the CPIO in each
case. We noted that the CPIO had not provided the photocopies of the file
notes/office notes, if any, on the various leave applications and representations,
the Appellant had submitted from time to time between 2 December 1996 and 6
October 1999 as listed by him in his RTI applications. We see no reason why
these should not be provided to him provided these are available in the various
CIC/SM/A/2009/002000 & CIC/SM/A/2010/000011 & 761
offices of the bank.
3. Therefore, we direct the CPIO to provide to the Appellant within 10
working days from the receipt of this order the photocopies of all available file
notes/office notes on his various leave applications and representations on the
dates given by him in his three RTI applications. In case, no file notes/office
notes are available in respect of some or all of these leave applications and
representations in the branch concerned or the divisional office, the CPIO shall
inform the Appellant accordingly in a sworn affidavit.
4. With the above direction, the appeals are disposed off.
5. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
