The RTI Act is silent on 'Hearing'. But Order XLI Rule 17 of Civil Procedure Code 1908 lays down that :
(1) Where on the day fixed,or on any other day to which the hearing may
be adjourned the appellant does not appear when the appeal is called
on for hearing the court may make an order that the appeal be
dismissed
(2) Where the appellant appears and the respondent does not appear the
appeal shall be heard ex-parte
