O R D E R (Open Court)
This Second Appeal under RTI Act (2005), which was filed on 12/01/2012, arises out of original RTI application dated 24/06/2011 to the PIO in the department of Police. The Respondent No. 2 who is the PIO in the office of Superintendent Police (South) has filed his reply to the Second appeal on 02/07/2012. I have gone through the appeal memo, the reply of Respondent No. 2 and the order of the First Appellate Authority which is passed on 29/09/2011.
In addition Advocate for Respondent No. 2 also explained the situation orally to the Appellant. On hearing the same the Appellant is satisfied about the overall status of the case and consented that matter may be closed.
It is worthwhile to mention the subject matter in brief. The Appellant who is a Government employee, working in the Police department had undergone a departmental proceeding under which a penalty was imposed on him. It had an effect on his increment, pay and future increment etc. He was under some doubt as to the nature of order passed in the matter and its effect on his overall future increments.
Now after the situation has been explained to him regarding his increment, he was satisfied about the present status of his RTI application and hence agrees that the matter may be closed.
In view of this the appeal is dismissed as it requires no further action. Order pronounced in open court.
Inform the parties.
