appellant presence during 1st or 2nd Appeal not nessessary. | |
Deciding appeal weather the Appellant is required to be compulsorily present during hearing, the following was decided:
The Central Information Commission Appeal Procedure Rules 2005 are clear that an appellant may be present in person or through his duly authorized representative, or may opt not to be present in appeal before the Commission. Such a principle will apply mutatis mutandis to any appeal before any lower authority under the Right to Information Act.
