Re: [HumJanenge] CIC-NO PENALTY OR ACTION AGAINST CPIO/FAA, DDA EVEN THEN BOTH HAVE NOT RESPONDED

This has been filed as complaint u.s. 18 which is also evident from the case number CIC/DS/C/2011/000219 given to this.  In the number, C stands for complaint.

Did you file this as a "Complaint" under Sec 18 or a "Second Appeal" under Sec 19(3) ?
If it was a second appeal (and first appeal under Sec 19(1) already exhausted), there are no grounds for her to return this to the FAA.
This is a copy paste order of several (thousands) such orders by IC DS, IC SS, IC AD, and even IC SG.
CIC SM also passes such orders depending on the mood of his Registry staff.

In a case wherein neither the CPIO nor the FAA of DDA has given any reply to the complainant, the decision of Mrs. Deepak Sandhu, Hon'bvle CIC has been given below. 
 
This decision has by and large, exornated the CPIO from any penaly or disciplanary action.  FAA has also got almost scot-free.
 
In the face of such decisions, Public Authorities will hardly take the RTI Act seriously and will give information after an applicant/ complainant reaches the CIC.
