Appellant present self
Adv. R. Kalangutkar for Respondent no 1
O R D E R (Open Court)
This appeal filed on 06/09/2013, arises out of original RTI application dated 26/08/2013. On perusal of question and answer and on hearing both the sides for some time, it is seen that there is some force in the plea of the PIO when he submits that the questions asked by the appellant are without any background introduction and are unclear in nature. I tend to agree with the PIO.

This aspect has been mutually discussed by the both parties. The appellant now wishes to ask a fresh question regarding survey no 25/6 of Assagaon and regarding a structure standing thereon. Allowed. Such a question, even if a repetition of his earlier question, shall be properly replied to by the PIO i.e.
respondent no 1 within one month, as required under RTI Act. Failing this the Appellant will be permitted to file his complaint directly to the SCIC.

With this direction the present appeal dismissed. Declared in the Open Court. Inform Parties.
