Feeling aggrieved , appellant filed 2nd Appeal before the State Information Commission (SIC) on 09.10.2018 submitting there under that not only the PIO has failed in providing him the information but the Deputy Commissioner Budgam who is the designated First Appellate Authority (FAA) under J&K RTI Act 2009 has also failed to dispose of his First Appeal.
The 2nd appeal came up for hearing before the State Information Commission (SIC) on 14.01.2019.
