This second-appeal was heard on 12.11.2008. Appellant was absent in
response to Commission’s notice dated 11.09.2008. Respondents were

he seems to have lodged on different dates with the public authority.

3. Considering the facts of this case and after hearing the submissions of the
CPIO, it is directed that all the files, documents, records relating to appellant’s

on a day and time to be intimated to the appellant by the CPIO within three
weeks of the receipt of this order.

4. Appellant shall be allowed to take such copies including certified copies
on payment of the requisite fee to be determined by the CPIO.
