The cost of filing and pleading writ petition should be recovered from SPIO & FAA. Public money cannot be wasted for harassing the public, otherwise every decision of
CIC/
SIC will be challenged in High or Supreme Court by PAs at public cost. The information seeker should file another
RTI appln for knowing the reasons and rule under which expenses are borne by the govt. He should seek justification and file noting which permitted filing of writ. The penalities were against CPIO in his personal capacity for breaching an act of parliament and the concerned officer should move personally,if he is aggrieved.
