[HumJanenge] Full penalty for 4 CPIOs on one RTI application

Here is an interesting case on four separate CPIOs of being imposed full penalty of Rs.25,000/-. I am aware of a case where two CPIOs were penalized for delay of one single application. Is this the first time four have been penalized for a single RTI Application?

"the Commission finds this a fit case for levying penalty on Mr. Bose, Mr. Dabas and Mr. Jeewan Singh, Licensing Inspectors (West Zone) and Deemed PIOs. Since the delay in providing the correct information has been over 100 days, the Commission is passing an order penalizing all three officers `25000/ each, which is the maximum penalty under the Act."

"Note: The Commission penalized Mr. N. Nagraj, Deemed PIO & Licensing Inspector of `25000/- under Section 20(1) on 20/06/2011."

So is this the current records?
