2. The Commission has decided to treat this petition as a complaint under

Information Officer, Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank, Branch Arariya, Bihar, to provide
the information sought by the Complainant by 23 August 2010.
3. Since the PIO has failed to respond to the RTIapplication mentioned

August 2010 to Show Cause as to why a maximum penalty of Rs.25000/ for
the delay in supply of information may not be levied upon him. If no written
explanation is received from the CPIO by 30 August 2010, the Commission will
decide the case exparte and would impose the maximum penalty prescribed
