RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO.JUDGE sts ANTONY DOMINIC, J --------------------------------------- W.P(C) No.19134 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T Complaint of the petitioner is that despite Ext.P9 order passed by the 1st respondent exercising its power under the Right to Information Act, the 2nd respondent has not furnished the information sought for by the petitioner. 2. When the matter came up for admission, I heard the standing counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent, who has passed Ext.P9 order. Prima facie, I am satisfied that there is substance in the petitioner's complaint. 3. Still having regard to the fact that subsequent to Ext.P9 order, the petitioner has brought his grievance to the notice of the 3rd respondent by filing Ext.P10, I direct the 3rd respondent to take cognizance of Ext.P10 as a fresh complaint under Section 18 of the Act, issue notice to the parties concerned and pass orders in the matter. 4. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at W.P(C) No.19134 of 2011 2 any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of.
