2. The Appellant did not turn up in the Mumbai studio of the NIC in spite of notice. The Respondents were present in our chamber and made their submissions.
3. The Appellant had wanted to know the exact basis for awarding marks CIC/SM/A/2011/000885 during an interview for promotion to higher ranks as well as about the details of the marks awarded to him during the interview under various heads in a comparative matrix. The CPIO had provided him with the available information but without the marks awarded to others who had been found successful. The Appellate Authority had endorsed the information provided by the CPIO.
4. After carefully considering the facts of the case, we are of the view that although the CPIO had already provided much of the information, he should also provide now the details of the marks awarded to other successful candidates in that particular interview in which the Appellant himself had appeared. We direct the CPIO to send this information in the form of a statement within 10 working days of receiving this order.
5. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
(Satyananda Mishra) Chief Information Commissioner Authenticated true copy. Additional copies of orders shall be supplied against application and payment of the charges prescribed under the Act to the CPIO of this Commission.
