PIO's reply:
The information sought is voluminous in nature and hence the Appellant is requested to inspect the records.
Grounds for the First Appeal:
The PIO has not provided information which has been sought.
Order of the First Appellate Authority (FAA):
PIO/SE-I stated that the information sought by the Appellant has already been provided to him as per available records. However, the appellant was not present in person to state his grievance. Submissions of the PIO heard. Appellant's written queries have been examined. Since the reply has already been provided to the Appellant no further action is required in this matter.
Ground of the Second Appeal:
The applicant is not satisfied with the PIO reply and unsatisfactory order was passed by the First Appellate Authority.
Relevant Facts emerging during Hearing:
The following were present Appellant : Absent;
Respondent : Mr. J. S. Yadav, EE(B) on behalf of Mr. Dilip Ramnani, PIO & SE-I;
The Respondent states that the Appellant has filed a large number of RTI applications seeking voluminous amount of information. He has offered an inspection of the relevant files to the Appellant Page 5 of 6 since it would disproportionately divert the resources to collate and provide the information sought by the Appellant. The FAA had also suggested that the Appellant may inspect the relevant records but the Appellant has not been willing to inspect the records.
Decision:
The appeals are disposed.
This decision is announced in open chamber.
Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties. Any information in compliance with this Order will be provided free of cost as per Section 7(6) of RTI Act.
