Copies to be provided since applicant cannot go for inspection

[karira]

Many times on this forum, memebrs have complained that IC is thrusting inspection on them even if the place of inspection is far away.

Came across this 2010 order of IC AD, where she has agreed to direct the PA to provide copies to the applicant since he cannot travel to another far away city for inspection, which was earlier ordered by the IC.

The appellant agreed to pay the costs of photocopying.

The Decision in the above mentioned case is given below:
The Commission after hearing both sides holds that the details of contracts given by a
Public Authority to an agency can by no means be considered as being held in a fiduciary capacity.
Hence, the PIO is directed to open all files related to the M/s.P.A.Sales Corporation so that the
Appellant may take copies of whatever documents he requires, free of cost. The information may be
provided by 15.5.2010.
