Shri Basant Seth, Central Information Commissioner issued a show cause notice to the CPIO & Asstt. Director, Deptt. Of Posts on 23.8.2012 directing him to furnish his submissions whether he had any reasonable cause for not providing complete/timely information. In case of failure, Commission may consider imposing penalty on him.
The PIO has given his reply on ___ (date not mentioned in reply) Sept. 2012. Not hearing anything from the CIC, I filed an RTI application on 10.10.2012 and obtained a copy of the reply of the PIO. But Shri A.K. Jha, Dy. Secy. & Dy. Registrar, CIC has not given any information on the 9i) present status of the case, (ii) whether the CPIO will be granted any hearing on the matter and (iii) if yes, whether I will also be given an opportunity to attend the same and present my submissions or an opportunity to make submissions on the CPIO's reply. Dy. Secy. CIC has replied that this information is not covered u.s. 2(f) of the RTI Act and therefore cannot be provided.
Reply of the CPIO of the Postal Department is unsatisfactory and appears an eye wash. In such circumstances, what an applicant should do so that the case is not buried under the carpet without a fair trial as per provisions of the RTI Act?
