Morever, in the order section they have written that they will seek the owner of the said hotel abt the questions asked by us, & then we will be given the information after considering his (owner of hotel) views within 15 days.. |
Since the AA has in his quasi judicial role, already given his decision, the CPIO cannot apply the third party clause here in seeking the owner of the hotel. Even if the AA has mentioned it in his own decision, the same is not tenable for as per the rules, the respondent i.e. the CPIO cannot come up with the 3rd party clause.
The CPIO has no option other than to give you the information immediately. Further the penalty clock has already started ticking for the CPIO with the start of the start of the 15th day.
