           The Commission has received a petition from Shri Ajit Kumar of Delhi

reference.

Section   18   of   the   RTI ­Act,   2005,   and   hereby   directs   the   CPIO/Public
Information Officer, Union Public Service Commission, New Delhi, to provide the information sought by the Complainant by 27 January 2012.
3.         Since the PIO has failed to respond to the RTI ­application mentioned
above in time, he is, therefore, required to send his explanation in writing by 31
January 2012 to Show Cause as to why a maximum penalty of Rs.25000/­ for
the delay in supply of information may not be levied upon him.   If no written
explanation is received from the CPIO by 31 January 2012, the Commission will
decide the case ex­parte and would impose the maximum penalty prescribed
under Section 20(1) of the  Right to Information (RTI)  Act, i.e., Rs. 25,000/­,
upon the CPIO/deemed PIO. If, however, the CPIO had responded in time and
provided the desired information, please let us know at the earliest.

information from the CPIO after this order of the Commission, he may write to
the Commission against the non­compliance of the Commission’s orders.
