Evidently, there is no denial of information, since a point-wise response has been furnished and the relevant documents in respect of the compliance of section 4(1) of the Act, have already been furnished to him.
5. As the appellant has not responded to the notice for hearing, it is presumed that he is satisfied with the information furnished to him. For his satisfaction, the appellant is, however, free to seek inspection of the relevant records so as to specify the required information, which should be furnished to him as per the provisions of the Act.
