Public information officer decided the RTI Application within 30 days but has not responded to any of the information sought by the applicant under RTI Act 2005. PIO order speaks as with reference to your various representations under the Right to information Act 2005, the mater has been presently submitted to the for appropriate action and you will be informed once decision is taken. As an applicant I have sought information under RTI Act 2005 and has not made any representation to anyone including the PIO in the RTI Application under RTI Act 2005 and therefore on this ground itself the order is bad in law. Moreover by his action the Public Information officer is seeking more time to respond to my RTI Application which is not permitted under Section 7(1) of RTI Act which reads a CPIO or SPIO shall within 30 days of receiving the request either to provide the information or deny the information. His action is attracting provisions of Section 20(1) and 20(2) of RTI act besides providing the information sought by the applicant as is held by Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in Railways V/S Girish Mittal and Rakseh Kumar Gupt V/S CIC. Preparing appeal Under Section 19(1). Request readers to share their valuable opinion and suggestion.
