Respondent: Shri Harish, Section Officer & deemed PIO, heard over phone.

Information Sought:

The appellant has sought the following information / documents:

1. Copy of the letter No. CSIO/PTID/Per/93-94/432 dated 19/01/1994.

2. Copy of the action taken report and file noting with reference to CSIR's letter bearing No. 17(65)/P-42(A)/12/90-PPS dated 19/09/1994.

Grounds for Second Appeal The CPIO has provided misleading and incomplete information.

Observations:

Having heard the submissions of both the parties, it is noted that the appellant is not satisfied with the information provided by the CPIO as according to him, the noting sheet containing the action points recommended by the Personnel Committee on 08.11.1994 were deliberately removed by the then CSIO, Admn. or no follow-up action was taken on these CSIR orders deliberately.

The CPIO submitted that the allegations levelled by the appellant are baseless and they have put their best efforts to search for the desired information but since the records are more than 20 years old, whatever information was available on the relevant file, the same was provided to the appellant. He also submitted that after receipt of the CIC's hearing notice, the records were again checked but no new information could be found and hence there is no additional information that can be supplied to the appellant at present.
