Facts :-
Heard today dated 13.08.2012. Appellant present. The Public Authority is represented by Ms. Manju Jhingan, Director and Shri S.S.A. Rizvi, Asstt. Engineer(PIO).
2. The appellant submits that a penalty of reversion was imposed on him by Shri Asad Ahmed in his capacity as DGQA. It is his contention that the Government had not issued any Notification to appoint said Ahmed as DGQA and, therefore, he was not competent to impose this penalty on him. In this connection, he had asked for a copy of the Notification issued in favour of Shri Asad Ahmed but the CPIO had supplied him a copy of the order dated 30.3.2006 issued by Department of Defence Production entrusting the additional charge of DGQA to Shri Ahmed.
3. During the hearing, the appellant submits that he wants to know from the CPIO whether this 'Order' is 'Notification'. Obviously, an order cannot be a Notification. Even so, the CPIO is hereby directed to convey in writing to the appellant whether the said 'Order' is a 'Notification'. The appellant also submits that vide his letter dated 8.8.2011, he had sought information on 04 paras viz. A, B, C & D and that parawise information has not been supplied to him. The CPIO is hereby directed to supply parawise information to him on the basis of records.
3. This order may be complied with in 04 weeks time.
