Notice to information public officer, first appellate authority.

The Times of India: Rohtak: Friday, April 06, 2012.
The Haryana Information Commission has issued notices to a state information public officer (SPIO) and first appellate authority for allegedly not furnishing entire information sought under the Right to Information Act to an RTI activist.
The commission also directed the SPIO and the first appellate authority-cum-under secretary to file their reply to the points raised by the complainant by April 18.
A coordinator of Haryana Soochna Adhikar Manch, Subhash, had filed an RTI application before the office of SPIO on August 18, 2011, seeking information about functioning of the state public information office.
However, when the SPIO did not provide him the entire information even after 60 days, he filed first appeal before the authority.
When the authority also did not respond to his application, he complained to the State Information Commission.
