[HumJanenge] Re: Full Penalty imposed on CPIO, National Library, Kolkata

So the necessary implication of this kind of reasoning is that the
CIC must decide the 2nd appeal within 10 days of receipt or else the
concerned IC is equally liable for penalty upon himself.

For those interested in the maths (neglecting postal time periods)

DAY 0 = Day CPIO is meant to supply information (but doesn't)
DAY 30 = Day up to which FIRST APPEAL can be filed upto
DAY 60 = DAY for FIRST APPEAL decision
DAY 90 = DAY up to which 2ND APPEAL can be filed.
DAY 100 = DAY to decide 2nd Appeal.

NB: Day 100 = max. day for penalty (Rs.250 x 100 days = Rs. 25,000)

What is interesting in this decision is that "The RTI application has been filed on 12/07/2010. Hence the information should have been provided to the Complainant before 12/08/2010. Instead the information was provided to the Complainant only after the order of the Commission i.e. on 12/07/2011." Further the decision has an interesting line "The Respondents appear to have confused the purport of the RTI Act and included 'grievance redressal' within the ambit of the same and therefore no information was provided initially."
