Background
1. The Applicant filed an RTI application dt.28.3.09 with the CPIO, DoP, Mumbai.
He requested for the following information:
(i) Whether he is getting compensation against the non-delivered
registration letter to Indonesia or to Cuba
(ii) Whether information that he would be getting compensation of
Rs.65.8222 in cases of loss, damage or theft is true. He also wanted to know
the name of the dealing clerk and his phone No. and whether any action has
been taken against the dealing clerk.

with the reply, the Applicant filed an appeal dt.20.4.09 with the Appellate

it is not possible to inform how much amount the Applicant will get as
compensation for the loss of registered letter dt.16.12.04 booked at Kolkatta
to the President of Indonesia since a letter has already been addressed to the
Assistant Director General, (International Mails) , Dept. of Posts , New Delhi
dated 16.4.09, for clarification of rules. He also enclosed the required copies
of rules. The Applicant then filed a second appeal dt.25.5.09 before CIC
