In the absence of the RTI applications, they are unable to provide any information to the appellant. They further informed that they requested the appellant vide letter dated 27.01.2015 to provide a copy of the RTI application so that the requisite information may be furnished to him. During the hearing copies of the two RTI applications were provided to the appellant. In the absence of the appellant his views could not be ascertained. Decision: After hearing respondent and on perusal of record, the Commission direct the respondent to provide the information sought to the appellant within two weeks of receipt of this order under intimation to the Commission. The Commission with concern notes that it is quite strange that the two RTI applications and the two first appeals sent by speed post in the name of the CPIO and FAA by the appellant have not been received by the public authority. The Commission is therefore directing the Secretary, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, to look into the matter as to how the documents have not been received by the RTI Section of the Ministry and take appropriate action under intimation to the Commission. The appeals are disposed of accordingly. (Yashovardhan Azad) Information Commissioner Authenticated true copy.
