I have to add something -- if the answer provoded as " no information is available in this Dept " is it sufficient enough as per
RTI Act to avoid the query ? As in this case the SPIO provided the same reply to three applocants on the same date. Out of 18 queries, 15 was reploed as - " no information is available etc.
During hearing I produced that some documents were submitted to that Dept with proper seal and signature over the documents- but the A.A and also the SPIO concerned simply followed the statement as furnished by them.. Abhijeet
