The Petitioner seeks for issuance of a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus calling for the records pertaining to the impugned order passed by the fourth respondent dated 7.4.2014. vide No.8/imm/2014(3)-11 on the Right to Information Appeal, dated 17.3.2014 and to quash the same and thereby to direct the third respondent to furnish information to the Petitioner as per the Petitioner's representation, dated 11.2.2014.
2.Heard the learned counsels appearing on either side and perused the materials placed before this Court.
3.The order under challenge passed by the fourth respondent, dated 17.3.2014 under the Right to information Act is an appealable order before the competent appellate authority constituted under the Right to Information Act.
4.Without exhausting such remedy, the Petitioner has approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. Though the Petitioner has raised some grounds both on legal and factual aspects of the matter, this Court, at this stage, is not inclined to go into such issues, since the Petitioner is having a statutory appellate remedy before such authority, who in-turn shall consider all these aspects, while hearing the appeal.
5.Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of, without expressing any view on the merits of the claim made by the Petitioner, only with a liberty to the Petitioner to file a Second Appeal before the competent authority within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. No costs.
