did not avail of this opportunity.
2. On perusal of the documents submitted by the complainant, it is observed
that the CPIO has replied and advised him to approach the concerned CPIO for
obtaining the required information. Being not satisfied with the response, the
complainant has submitted his complaint before the Commission for providing
the requested information, which relate to the supply of refill cylinders for
commercial and domestic consumption.
