First Appeal filed on: - 06/07/2011

FAA Order dated: - 19/08/2011

Second Appeal filed on: - 21/12/2011

1. This second appeal arises out of original RTI application dated 08/04/2011 to the PIO, Superintendent of Police, (H.Q) , Panaji- Goa.

2. The complaint asked for information regarding some tender taken out by police for certain Civil works. Information was given partly on 12/05/2011 and some more information on 02/06/2011 and some questions were transferred U/s 6(3) on 22/04/2011 to PIO S.P South, Margao.

3. First appeal was filed on 06/07/2011 which was dismissed on 19/08/2011, on the ground that the Appellant remained absent on two occasions namely 04/08/2011 and 19/08/2011. The FAA has recorded

that the PIO S.P. South has informed in response to question No. 3 to 11, that no glow sign boards, floor tilling, repairs etc has been carried by PI, Shri Jivba Dalvi, at Verna Police Station in the year 2010. However, a small area situated outside the building premises has been filed by himself as the said work was required to make a smooth pathway specially to senior citizens and disabled persons.

4. The second appeal was filed on 21/12/2011. And first hearing was fixed on 22/02/2012. Appellant has continuously remained absent though the then SCIC had given him six opportunities, before end of July 2012. He continued to remain absent thereafter too till matter came up for final disposed on 21/07/2014.

I have seen all the record and the reply from PIO. I find no merit in the case. The appeal is dismissed for want of merit. Order declared in Open Court. Parties should be informed.
