Sir,
Ref: Appeal No.3/Secy. to VC-Peshi-5678/RTI Act/2012 – Date 18-07-2012
Adverting to the reference cited above, I thank you for the hearing opportunity given to me.
However, I cannot be present at the time and place as shown on the notice of hearing.
I prefer my appeal on the following grounds:
1) The PIO did not furnish the information as asked.
2) The PIO, instead of furnishing information, has repudiated his obligation through his reply by submitting “no action is warranted in this office”, whereas subject matter does not deserve this.
3) Further, the PIO, did not explain as to how the PIO is correct on his part.
4) The PIO, did not mention what Action Taken Report is obliged to furnish information or not.
5) The PIO is totally wrong and false on his part through his reply.
6) The PIO’s reply is dodgy and evasive.
7) The PIO did not give any reasons for rejection of the request for information as
required u/s 7(8)(i). [as held in CIC decision: CIC/OK/C/2006/00010 dated 7th July, 2006.]
8) Section 19(5) of RTI Act puts the onus of providing that a denial of request was justified on the part of PIO. No reasonable cause has been advanced for denying information to the Applicant.
9) The PIO’s reply is not certified as provided under RTI Law.
10) The PIO, failed to apprise the applicant about the onward appellate procedures and processes appeal as provided required u/s 7(8) (ii) & (iii)
In the light of the foregoing, I request you to kindly address my first appeal and arrange the needful in the merits of justice and in conformity with RTI Laws.
Thanking you, Yours faithfully
