The path is Acts and<br \/>\n         Rules- All India Se4rvice (AIS) Rules- Revised All India Service<br \/>\n         Rules (Vol.II) (Updated up to 31st October, 2005)- Indian<br \/>\n         Administrative Service (Cadre) Rules, 1954.

The reply given by the CPIO<br \/>\n             is, therefore, besides the point.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (2)    Even this off the point reply did not indicate the number of<br \/>\n             pages of the Manual covering the desired information to<br \/>\n             enable me to make payment @ indicated in the letter,<br \/>\n             though I had specifically requested in my application that the<br \/>\n             amount payable may be informed on phone.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      When I contracted the Desk Officer on phone on 30.7.2007, I was<br \/>\n      told that the letters etc copies of which have been sought were not<br \/>\n      available with him. In that case it was his duty to get the same from<br \/>\n      the concerned officer. What is worse. I was also told that the<br \/>\n      letters etc being more than 20 years old were not covered by the<br \/>\n      RTI Act. Obviously, this reply is based on a totally wrong<br \/>\n      understanding of Section 8 (3) of the RTI Act which says that more<br \/>\n      than 20 years old information shall be provided subject to the<br \/>\n      provisions of clauses (a), (c ) &amp; (i) of sub-section (1), meaning<br \/>\n      thereby that the exemption granted by other sub-clauses of sub-<br \/>\n      section (1) is not applicable to such information. Hence, the excuse<br \/>\n      given on phone for not providing the desired information is prima<br \/>\n      facie absurd and untenable.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      In this connection your kind attention is also invited to section 7 (6)<br \/>\n      of the Act which provides that where the public authority fails to<br \/>\n      comply with the time limits specified in sub-section (1), the<br \/>\n      information shall be provided free of charge.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     After a detailed examination Shri Chetanya Prashad Director (Services) in<br \/>\nhis order of 27.9.07 has given a considered decision as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;1.
