Whether the PIO's rejection order is valid?

Rajneesh Madhok (Querist) 15 September 2009 This query is : Resolved
In the undermentioned reply I could not understand whether the information is provided or rejected. The only difference in rejection is that the PIO has not mentioned word Rejected. I hope that PIO has refused to give information to the appellant on a baseless ground rejecting each and every point.

3. I received the under-mentioned reply by PIO today on 15th Sep vide Courier service. The date mentioned on the letter is 12/09/09 but no date has been marked by courier service.
4. Kindly suggest what should I do now.
