Mr M K Gupta,
Don't be too surprised if a Peon does attend a hearing at a Information Commission.
It did happen in Punjab, where a peon posed as a clerk and attended 33 (thirty three) SIC hearings !

Not satisfied at all. Even a very junior level employees, an inspector, from the Deptt. of Post attended the hearing. When I objected to this and said that either PIO or some Sr. employee of that level should be present from the Deptt., but this did not cut an ice with the IC. The inspector tried to give assurances about the handling of speed posts on behalf of Secy. Deptt. of Post but we know that the Secy. may not even be aware of such assurances being given on his behalf and even may not grant time to an inspector to meet him on this issue to know the first hand information. Tomorrow, the Deptt. may send some peon or clear in the hearing and that will not be acceptable but the IC was unfazed on this issue.
On my insistence to penalize the PIO for the delay in reply by the PIO which I proved on the basis of documents, IC agreed to issue notice to the PIO. Let us await for the order and see that on this issue.
