Central Information Commission (CIC): <\/span><\/b>While taking note of the fact that CPIOs failed to mention their name in the replies to RTI applications, CIC reiterated that CPIOs and FAAs should mention their name, address, telephone and fax number in all correspondence on RTI matters. CIC was hearing an appeal filed by an RTI applicant seeking information with reference to a Notification published in the press, inviting applications for the post of House Keeper cum Peon. The appellant sought information regarding Government guidelines relating to above mentioned notification, name and designation of the appointing authority and also requested for personal hearing. He earlier approached CPIO, Union Bank of India but was not satisfied with the response he got. Even after filing appeal before First Appellate Authority, complete information was not furnished. It was also alleged in the appeal that the name of the concerned CPIO was also not mentioned in any of the correspondence in the matter. After hearing the parties, CIC directed Union Bank of India to provide all information to the appellant with name of the concerned CPIO and also to ensure that the appellant was given personal hearing.
