ORDER
Background
1. The RTI application dated 11.4.11 was filed by the Applicant with the PIO, Transport Department,
New Delhi seeking various information related to the inspection of loading vehicles and the company
that has been contracted to inspect such vehicles against 10 points. The PIO replied on 13.5.11
providing information against each point. Not satisfied with the information the Applicant filed his first
appeal on 30.5.11. The Appellate Authority after holding a hearing on 1.7.11 in which the Appellant
was also present decided that while information has been provided the copies of documents have
not been supplied to the Applicant. He also noted that the Appellant had not provided the
additional fee for information against point no.3. Since the Appellant was not able to provide any
evidence in support of having paid the additional fee, he advised the Appellant to deposit the
requisite fee to obtain the information against point 3. Being aggrieved with this reply the Appellant
filed his second appeal before the Commission seeking information against points 5 to 10.
Decision.
2. The Respondent during the hearing submitted that the missing information has already been
furnished to the Appellant on 16th July 2011. However, having noted that the Appellant has filed the
second appeal even though he has received the missing information, the Commission reviewed
the information sought against points 5 to 10, and accordingly directs the PIO to seek the
submission of the third party under section 11 (1) of the RTI Act as the information sought belongs
to a third party and to take a decision based on the third party’s submission. This exercise to be
completed by 15 December, 2011.
3. The Appeal is accordingly disposed of.
