Subject: [HumJanenge] Recent CIC decision of Subash Chandra Agarwal

After being used to long decisions in the RTI Complains / Second Appeals filed by Shri Subash Chandra Agrawal, here is a short and sweet order from IC Annapurna Dixit, concerning one of his complains against the CPIO, Min of External Affairs, New Delhi.

http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_AD_C_2010_001295_M_52512.pdf

Of course, we would never know what has he asked for, but I hope that the penalty proceedings would reveal more.
