The reply of the PIO is due on 14/4/2009.
Just add a few more days for any postal delays.
If you still do not get the information you asked for, it can be considered as "deemed denial" of information .
File a First Appeal for deemed denial.
A format for such a First Appeal is attached to this post:Disregarding RTI Act
Just modify it to suit your requirements.

Is it mandatory that the petitioner should appear in person before the Central CIC during hearing - its far away from my native place and I cannot afford such a thing

Dear Dr. Prasad

It is not mandatory for applicant/complainant to attend hearing.

It is not necessary to appear in person before the CIC.
However it is always advisable to present your case personally and rebut the points of the CIC. Your presence will definitely have an impact on the outcome.

Why don't you request the Asst. Registrar of the concerned IC (by Phone, fax and email) to allow you to participate in the hearing by Audio or Video Conferencing. In Audio conferencing you can participate by telephone sitting in your own home. For Video conferencing, you will have to do it from the NIC Video Conferencing centre, which are located in every district headquarters.
