New Delhi: In an unprecedented order, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has asked the Post Master General of Delhi to give an explanation for the growing number of complaints with regard to undelivered UPC (under postal certificate) mails.
The Post Master General has been asked to appear on February 19, 2007, Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah said.
The Commission issued the order on an appeal by Jagdish Ambedkar under the Right to Information (RTI) Act against the Supreme Court of India, which contended that it never received any such application.
The officials representing the apex Court in their reply, told the Commission by saying that had the application in question been received, he (applicant) would have been informed accordingly.
On account of the reply, Habibullah concluded that complaints regarding the non-delivery of UPC mails were increasing and corrective action was required.
The Commission rejected the department's contention that addresses written on undelivered mails were vague.
