In this regard, it is to mention that the undersigned tried to process the online RTI application from his home during the lockdown period within the limited resources available at his home using his own system network. It is regretted that on 05.05.20 the pdf attached with your above RTI could not be opened due to certain technical reasons at home. And immediate assistance was not available at home.

However, your above RTI request which is enclosed with the First Appeal could be now opened in office PC and forwarded today the same to the concerned CPIO i.e. Shri S. C. Sharma, DR to IC(NG) for necessary action.†It is important to note that the then CPIO, at First Appeal stage, without getting any direction from the FAA, forwarded the RTI application, attached with First Appeal, on his own accord, to the concerned CPIO for disposal, though the same was already disposed off earlier by him online, without seeking assistance from any other official who were present in the office at that time, nor exhausting other options that may have been available to him.

Sharma, for disposal. Sh. S. C. Sharma is hereby directed to dispose the RTI application of the Appellant as per the provision of the RTI Act, 2005, within 15 days of receipt of this order.
