2.

The Public Information Officer / The Deputy Tahsildar, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, Vide Letter No. RTI/62/2017, Dated Nil-08-2017, has informed the appellant that earlier the Mandal Surveryor has conducted survey of the subject land and basing upon the survey report a detailed report was submitted to the Collector, R.R District. Hence the application of the appellant does not attract the provisions of RTI Act.

Since the appellant did not receive information from the Public Information Officer, he filed 1st appeal dated 29-09-2017 before the 1st Appellate Authority requesting him to furnish the information sought by him U/s. 19(1) of the RTI Act, 2005.

As per the records, the 1st Appellate Authority has not taken action to hear the appeal and pass appropriate orders.

As the appellant did not get the information from the Public Information Officer / 1st Appellate Authority even after 30 days of filing his 1st appeal, he preferred this 2nd appeal before this Commission requesting to take action against the PIO and 1st Appellate Authority for not furnishing information sought by him and also to arrange to furnish the information sought by him U/s. 19(3) of the RTI Act, 2005.

Basing on the material papers available on record, the appeal is taken on file

Earlier these cases were heard and adjourned. The cases are called again on 06-01-2021. The Appellant is absent. Sri A. Srinu/ Public Information Officer / Deputy Tahsildar, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District is present.

Heard the Public Information Officer and perused the records.

The 6 (1) application in both these cases is one and the same. Therefore, both these cases are clubbed together and a common order is passed.
