information in a format in respect of Diary No. from 56995 to 57660 & Diary

Budh Vihar, Delhi, in respect of persons having annual income of less than
Rs. 1 lac.
2. Vide letter dated 8.8.2008, the PIO had refused to provid this
information on the ground of inadequacy of resources and the information not
being maintained in the format in which it had been sought. However, the
Appellate Authority vide order dated 28.8.2008 had directed Asst.
Commissioner (North-West) (PIO), to provide photo-copies of the register
maintained in this regard
3. In the appeal dated 24.11.2008 filed before this Commission, the
appellant has alleged that the requisite information has not been provided to
him despite lapse of two months since the appellate order and that whatever
information has been sent to him that is inadequate and the documents are not
legible. In short, he has complained of non-compliance of appellate order on
the above grounds.
4. The matter was initially fixed up for hearing on 8.5.2009 but the
appellant and the PIO did not appear before the Commission. Hence, the
matter was adjourned to 21.5.2009.
