Kindly intimate as to whether the
SIC had disposed of your application or has issued an interim direction to the
PIO. If it was an interim direction, you may bring the matter in the notice of
SIC in the next date of hearing. If your appeal has been disposed of or next hearing has not been fixed, you may issue a reminder to the
SIC.
Here it is very clear that the procedure of deciding the appeals have not been prescribed under the Act. The procedure may have been prescribed under the rules of the State. Kindly do intimate your State to help you further. I would also request to make a written request to the Commission to impose a penalty under S.20.
With regard to the second case, it is intimated that you may also request the Commission to impose a penalty as providing a wrong information is also an offence under the act and has to be dealt with in the same way as the offence of not providing the information is dealt with.
