Mr.Vashisthvivek is very correct.There is some mistake somewhere. You cannot make First Appeal to the
SIC. It is likely that the
SIC might have reckoned your so called FIRST APPEAL as a complaint and dispossed it accordingly. Anyway you SHOULD NOT MAKE the second appeal now. You should reserve the right to make second appeal in case the reply when furnished by the
PIO does not satisfy you. It is 'deemed refusal of the request' despite orders of
SIC. Now you got a very strong case. Please donot spoil it. Make a first appeal to the correct AA immediatly if the 15 days (+transit time) given by the
SIC is over without giving the
PIO any more opportunity to escape. Refusal to reckon even theSIC's orders by
PIO will be a strong factor in your favor in case you have to file a second appeal after your First appeal.
