[HumJanenge] CIC asks it FAA to dispose of Complain

I dont know if this has been debated on this list before, however, would like to raise the case of Shri Rajesh Kumar of
Delhi who had filed an RTI with the CPIO of CIC on 15 November 2011. ( I assume the year is a misprint) . CIC SM has reverted the original complaint to the FAA of the CIC and directed the latter "to enquire into the allegations made by the Complainant and after giving him an opportunity of hearing". The CIC further directs the FAA to to obtain the explanation of the CPIO in writing for not providing the information in time and to forward the same to us along with his comments before 12 September 2011." The CIC will take its decision on the penal provision after hearing the FAA. 

Check full decision dated 11th August, 2011 at the following link

Is this the shape of things to come? Would this apply only the complains filed against the CPIO of the CIC or would the same also be extended to other PA as well. On the bright side, larger public interest would be served, as most FAA hardly hear the appellant, let alone dispose of the appeal. The route for the Second Appeal would still be open for the appellant.
