Facts
The matter was called for hearing on 11.6.2009. The complainant did not appear before the Commission. The public authority is represented by the officer named above. It is noticed that this matter has already been dealt with in Appeal NO. CIC/LS/C/2009/000090 and Interim Decision dated 8.6.2009 recorded therein. This file appears to have been opened by mistake by the Registry.
2. Be it as it may, is the submission of Shri Amrit Meena that Shri Modi had requested for certain information u/s 138 (1) (b) of the IT Act which was turned down by CIT concerned. Thereupon, Shri Modi had sought copy of the office note- sheet prepared in this connection under the RTI Act and this information was declined to him by Shri R.C. Godhwani, ITO (Hq) (CPIO) vide letter dated 3.9.2008. It is his submission that the Appellate Authority in this case is Shri R.K. Gupta, CIT- I, Jaipur.
