Can CIC accept appeal for exempting CPIO from giving info after CIC has issued the order to do so ?

[vijayK]

Dear Mr. Karira,

Could you please explain whether we can file 'Special leave to appeal' under CIC management rules ?

I think that the Chief info commissioner has NOT totally ruled out the REVIEW procedure.

In one of my complaints on three RTI applications, I got a Bizarre decision by a CIC who did not even bother to consider my grounds & prayer and passed judgement only on one RTI application. She had totally ignored the other two RTI applications mentioned in the same complaint in spite of repeated pleas in the hearing.

What can I do in such a situation ?

Review or Special leave to appeal is the only remedy in CIC.

I am sure that our Chief Info Commissioner cannot digest such a decision.

I have been seeing from his decisions, he is bit reasonable.

Dear friend,

Kindly file an RTI application to CIC to know what kind of action they have taken on the letter they received from New India asurance.

They have to answer.

Do you know... you can inspect files in CIC also ?

If u want u can also do the same under section 2(j) of RTI act.

All the Best.

Vijay,

Please go through some of the decisions of the FAA of CIC available on the CIC website: Central Information Commission - Decisions
They will give you an idea as to how the PIO's in CIC reply to RTI Applications.

The answer to your suggested query will be "No information available on record".

I had sought some info under RTI from New India Assurance Co Ltd Mumbai . The matter went upto 2nd appeal. CIC ruled in my favour asking New India CPIO to furnish the info. But CPIO has written a letter to CIC requesting them to exempt them from providing info to me !!
Is there any provision inRTI Act whereby such a request can be made ?
If it is there, is it within powers of CIC to grant such a permission ?

As per Notification issued by CIC on 20-Oct-08, Regulation no.23 of the CIC (Management) Regulation 2007 stand modified as under:-

23. “Finality of Decision:
A decision or an order once pronounced by the Commission shall be
final.”

In view of this, the CIC cannot entertain such a request.

Copy of Amendment is attached.
