CIC Rejects CRCS Claim on Untraceable Letters
A retired officer named Kewal Krishan Gupta asked for information about some letters and orders he sent to a government office.
The office said they couldn't find the letters because they moved to a new building.
But the Central Information Commission, which is like a big boss for information requests, didn't believe this excuse.
They told the office to find out what happened to the letters and report back in four weeks.
The commission also said the office didn't properly answer Gupta's question about getting his money back from a cooperative society.
The CIC rejected the CRCS's claim that letters sent by Kewal Krishan Gupta were untraceable due to office relocation.
The CIC ordered the CRCS to submit a status report on the action taken on the letters within four weeks.
Gupta, a retired IFS officer, sought details of action taken on letters and orders sent to the CRCS.
The CRCS had claimed the letters were untraceable because the office had moved to a new building.
The CIC noted that the CRCS provided general information about the Sahara refund portal but did not address Gupta's specific grievance.
