First appeal filed on : 05/12/2007

Second Appeal filed on : 27/08/2008
Information sought& replies, if any:
The appellant had sought information on the committee reports with the approval of the director for engaging and terminating private security agencies ever since the practice of outsourcing was implemented. The PIO in his reply said that he has attached 16 pages relating to the information so sought for. However, the appellant found the answer of the PIO incomplete, so he filed an appeal before the FAA.
First Appellate Authority's order:
No order, hence the appellant has filed a second appeal.
Relevant Facts emerging during Hearing: The following were present Appellant: Major (Retd.)Rajesh Dhankar Respondent: Dr. Indu Saxena The appellant states that he wants a particular report of which Prof. S.K. Gupta, Prof. K.M. Gupt and Prof. P. Gopalan and some others were members issued in June 2005. The respondent states that the committee did not recommend a termination, hence it was not given. It appears that there are different nomenclatures by which this report is called. The PIO is asked to give the report required by the appellant. Before parting with the matter, the Commission notes that if the First appellate authority had done his duty, the matter need not have come in the Second appeal.
Decision:
The appeal is allowed.
The PIO will give the copy of the report of which Prof. S.K. Gupta, Prof. K.M. Gupt and Prof. P. Gopalan and some others were members issued in June 2005 This decision is announced in open chamber. Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.
