ORDER
By Sri. H.V. RAMACHANDRA RAO, PRESIDENT
The Complainant has made this Complaint seeking direction to the Ops to furnish information sought by him under the Right to Information Act and also sought compensation of Rs.20,000/- making certain allegation.
2. On perusal of the Complaint, Complainant is seeking relief against Ops on the ground that they have failed to submit the information sought for, under the Right to Information Act. Here the Complainant is only an Applicant and not a consumer as held by our Hon’ble State Commission and Hon’ble National Commission in recent cases. In view of the above, Complainant is at liberty to move the Authorities under the RTI Act in Appeal or sue the Ops for damages in Civil Court. That liberty is reserved. In view of the above, we pass the following order:
ORDER
1. Complaint is dismissed. No costs.
2. Return extra sets to the parties concerned under the Regulation 20(3) of the Consumer Protection Regulations 2005.
3. Send copy of the Order to both the parties free of costs.
(Dictated to the Stenographer, got it transcribed and corrected and pronounced in the open Forum on this the 20th day of March 2012)
