Is First Appeal Obligatory prior to Complaint under Section 18

As per Section 19 of the Act a Second Appeal shall lie only on decision on First Appeal. But in the case of Complaints, it is incumbant on the CIC/SIC to receive and inquire into a complaint on conditions stipulated in sub-section (a) to (f). As per Section 18(f), the CIC/SIC has to receive complaints in respect of any other matter relating to requesting or obtaining access to records under this Act. I could not find out any provision which stipulate first appeal as a precondition or making first appeal indumbent before prefering Complaint before CIC/SICs. I suggest that this aspect may please be discussed.
