    Strange order of the CIC......

    CIC has recently passed an order remanding the Second Appeal back to the FAA. The matter is:

    Applicant applied for information under RTI on 6-11-2006
    No reply received
    First Appeal made on 14-12-2006
    FAA orders PIO to supply information. FAA order dated 12-01-2007
    PIO supplies incomplete information on 12-03-2007.
    Applicant files Second Appeal with CIC and CIC orders:


    The applicant has approached this Commission submitting, inter-alia, that
    in spite of the orders passed by the first Appellate Authority, the information
    provided by on 12.3.’07 is incomplete. He has however, not taken recourse to a
    1st appeal against this response allowed to him u/s 19 (1) of the RTI Act
    Because the 1st appellate authority has not addressed the questions
    of appellant, which are of direct concern to his public authority and because
    appellant has pleaded no ground for making a direct complaint to us u/s 18 (1)
    (e), the Commission has decided to treat this application as 1st appeal and
    remand this appeal to the Additional Commissioner (HQ), Municipal Corporation
    of Delhi, Town Hall, Delhi who is directed to dispose of the appeal of Shri K.P.
    Jain within ten working days from the date of receipt of this decision, under
    intimation to Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar, Jt Registrar, Central Information
    Commission. If not satisfied with the information provided on his 1st appeal,
    complainant Shri K.P. Jain will be free to move a 2nd appeal before us as per Sec
    19 (3).

    My Questions/Doubts:

    1. How many times does CIC want the applicant to file First Appeals ?
    2. Is CIC avoiding levying penalty on the PIO by doing this ?

    I can definitely see that this is a start of a "passing the buck" process.

    Interested in knowing the opinion of the members since I am sure I will be facing a similar situation soon:

    Wonderful ! !!. Now I have no doubt that we are in cucumber city.I don't think the CIC is vested with any power to convert a complaint under Section 18 competently filed to a First Appeal and remand it to the AA. In this cituation the correct action of the CIC should have been to summon the AA and sort out the issue during the hearing. That is what the Act dtiulate. It is high time to stop this practice.

    colnrkurup,

    There are atleast a dozen decisions of the CIC like this .... all over the last few days (about 5 or 6 days). This is not the only one.
    All carry the same language and words.
    Must be a copy paste job.

    Re: Strange order of the CIC......

    It would be interesting to ask CIC by RTI Application where they have done this conversion by the act of their decisions

    And friends lets mark these type of threads as 'Conversion', so that in course of time RTI India have all the thread tag with 'conversion's
