notice dated 28.04.2009. Appellants were absent, while respondents were
present through APIO.

2. From perusal of records, it is noticed that the appellants did not
remit the application-fee along with their RTI-application dated

inspecting the record.

should not be allowed as the statutory requirement i.e.
application-fee for the present petition had not been fulfilled by the
appellant. Respondent accordingly requested to disallow the present
petition.
