Interim Decision Much time has passed since the original application was made and therefore, it would be necessary to know the present status of this case. I, therefore, remand this case to the First Appellate Authority for inviting and giving a hearing to the appellant for examining the points raised by him in his appeal with a view to provide maximum information if due under the act and give appellant better satisfaction by issuing a reasoned order. This may be done even if the First Appellate Authority may have given an earlier decision which would automatically stand modified by the First Appellate Authority’s new decision. A compliance report should be sent within 45 days by the First Appellate Authority to me. Sd/--- (Navin Kumar) State Information Commissioner Konkan Bhavan, Konkan Region Belapur, Navi Mumbai. Date:- 5th July, 2008.

Interim Decision. Appellant is absent. Shri T.M. Dongre, Education Sub Inspector and Smt. S.S. Shinde, Education Inspector. South Region are present. It is the pity that despite the previous decision no effort has been made by the Education Department to enquire into the application dated 31.10.2006 of the appellant and consequently no information has been given to him so far. Shri T.M. Dongre who is representing the Deputy Director of Education says that the enquiry would be completed before 10 th April 2009 and information given to the appellant then. A compliance report should reach the Commission by 15th April, 2009.
