Facts

:

1. Both the parties were heard on 6/8/2009.

2. The appellant has grievances regarding transfer of LPG facility in his
name after his father, the beneficiary of the facility, has expired. In this backdrop,
he has asked for certain information in the form of various queries. The CPIO
has furnished a point-wise response. Yet, the appellant is not satisfied.

3. During the hearing, it emerged that the respondent has initiated action to
review the list of beneficiaries of LPG. In the process, it was found that the
appellant was availing of the LPG facility in the name of his father, who has
expired. The respondent has explained the procedure for transfer of LPG facility
to the appellant. But, the appellant has shown resistance in making additional
security deposits, as required under the prevailing guidelines.
Decision:

4. The CPIO has duly replied and explained the procedure for transfer of
LPG facility to the legal heir of the original beneficiary customer. There is no
reason why the appellant should not follow the prescribed procedures.

5. The appellant has neither asked for information as per Section 2(f) of the
Act nor there are provisions in the Act to redress the grievances of the
customers of respondent. This appeal is, therefore, considered unnecessary and
is thus dispose of.
