ORDER
Shri Dinesh Kumar Grover of Raisinghnagar has complained to the Central Information Commission that he received no reply/information from the Central Public Information Officer although he had filed his RTIapplication on 12 November 2011. A copy each of the RTIapplication and the complaint are enclosed for ready reference.
2. In exercise of powers vested under Section 18(1) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, we direct the Appellate Authority to enquire into the allegations made by the Complainant and after giving him an opportunity of hearing, to pass an appropriate order with a view to ensuring that the desired information is provided to the Complainant without any further loss of time.
3. We also direct the Appellate Authority to obtain the explanation of the CPIO in writing for not providing the information in time and to forward the same to us along with his comments before 30 April 2012. We will decide on the imposition of penalty on the CPIO in terms of Section 20(1) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act thereafter.
4. In case the Complainant is not satisfied with the orders of the Appellate Authority, he is free to approach this Commission again in second appeal.
5. The Commission ordered accordingly.
