[sabharwal786]

The Orders of the J & K Information Commission are as below:

Decision No.73/CO/ SIC/ICK/Comp-49/2011-3203-4/

The Commission holds that the application of the complainant filed under Section 6 of the Act has been received by the PIO and PIO has failed to provide the information within maximum time of 30 days. He has, therefore, attracted the provisions of Section 17 of the State RTI Act, 2009 which provides for imposition of penalty on the defaulting PIO from the date when information was to be given till the date when information is actually provided. He is, therefore, directed to give his reasons, if any, for not imposing penalty on him. His reply should reach this Commission within 10 days from the date of receipt of this order. The Registrar of this Commission is also directed to issue notice under Section 33/34 of CPC read with Section 15 of the State RTI Act, 2009 to the defaulting PIO for not responding to this Commission’s notice i.e. for failing to appear in this Commission personally.
