Kamble for Petitioner. Mr. S. N. Patil - Assistant Government Pleader for State - Respondent Nos. 1 to 4. CORAM : D. D. SINHA AND SMT. V. K. TAHILRAMANI, JJ. 14 October 2011 P.C. : Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the State - respondent nos. 1 to 4. 2. Writ petition is directed against the order dated 19th July 2011 passed by the State Information Commission. 3. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner submitted application under the Right to Information Act before the Information skc 2 WP-7852-11 Officer. Since the Information Officer failed to supply requisite information to the petitioner, the petitioner preferred an appeal under Section 19(1) of the Right to Information Act before the lower appellate authority. The lower appellate authority disposed of the appeal vide order dated 19th July 2011. In the said order, the lower appellate authority has observed that the petitioner has been given one more opportunity to pay the requisite charges for seeking information within 15 days to Information Officer if the said amount has not been paid by the petitioner earlier and Information Officer is asked to provide necessary information as sought for by the petitioner. 4. It is very difficult for us to understand as to how the said order prejudices the right of the petitioner. On the other hand it gives liberty to the petitioner as well as requires the Information officer to act as per the observations made by the lower appellate authority. In that view of the matter, the petition is wholly misconceived and therefore same is disposed of accordingly. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (SMT. V. K. TAHILRAMANI, J.)
