Name of the Complainant : Shri Rajbeer Singh
S/o. Late Shri Kahri Singh,

On behalf of the Respondent, the following were present:

(ii) Shri Santosh Tiwari, Manager (Law)
Information Commissioner : Shri Satyananda Mishra
2. In our order dated 28 October 2010, we had directed the CPIO
concerned to appear before us and explain the reasons for not providing the
information to the Complainant at all. Subsequent to our orders, the CPIO
concerned had written to the Complainant on 10 November 2010 providing the
required information and also stating that his application dated 4 November
2009 had not been received in the Branch at all. Today, during the hearing, the
CIC/SM/C/2010/000772
Respondents reiterated the same position and submitted that the said RTI
application had never been received. They also informed that, in the past, the
Appellant had sought a number of information regarding his tractor loan and
that the Branch concerned had replied to him with the detailed information on
15 September 2009.
3. We carefully perused the records of the case. The detailed reply dated
10 November 2010 sent in pursuance of our directions contained all the
necessary information in the matter and, therefore, there is nothing more to be
provided by way of information. Since the original RTIapplication dated 4
November 2009 was never received in the office of the CPIO, obviously we
cannot impose any penalty on the CPIO.
4. However, in order to get a confirmation from the CPIO concerned about
the information received of the 4 November 2009 RTIapplication, we would like
to direct the CPIO to send a confirmation about this to the Complainant in a
sworn affidavit within 10 working days from the receipt of this order. The
compliance of our order be reported to the CIC.
5. The case is disposed of accordingly.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
