Facts
:
1. The appeal was heard on 20/5/2009. While the appellant was heard
through Audio Conferencing, the CPIO was present in person.
2. In the course of hearing, the details of information asked for and the
replies given by the CPIO and the Appellate Authority were discussed. The
CPIO stated that the requested information have been furnished on the basis of
available records, except the copies of journey tickets submitted by the ex-
employees of the respondent.
3. The appellant pleaded for providing access to the journey tickets
submitted by the ex-employees for Settling Allowances. He also pleaded for a
copy of Stores D3 No.3106, on the basis of which negligence in performance of
duties and responsibilities were alleged against the appellant.
4. The CPIO stated that the original copy of Stores D3 No.3106 was returned
to the Customs Department. Hence, it would not be possible to certify the
requested information on the basis of the photo copy retained in his office.
Decision:
5. The CPIO has largely furnished the requested information on the basis of
available records, except copies of journey tickets submitted by the ex-
employees for settling travel claims.
