[rti_india] Re: DoPT, All other P/As are 3rd party

 

Dear Members,

I draw attention of the first portion of the said circular wherein the Third Party also approch to the FFA & CIC/SIC for their appeal. Thus the PIO shall furnish the information to the Information Seeker afet following this formalities.

A sample case briefed as under:

An applicant rquested some information ( on Day 1 )which invloves third party confidential information.

The PIO shall write to the Third party within Day 5 for his concurrence.

The Third Party submit his view with in 10 Days.

PIO eigther decides to funish or deny the information. Before furnishing the information to the applicant, third party to be informed.

The third part can go as per the precent circular to the FFA against the decision taken by the PIO.

First appeal can be concluded within 30 or 45 days.

The Third Party now again allowed to approach to CIC/SIC.

How many months or years will take to decide by the CIC or SIC?

There after only the information to be furnished to the applicant.

This tends to motivate all the PIO to suggest to apply up to second appeal till such time PIO's will get time.

So for only applicant can approach for FFA & CIC/SIC to get the desired information.

Now as per the recent circular the Third Party can approach FFA & CIC/SIC for not giving the information.

Is my understanding is correct regarding the recent circular?
