Its true that I have not seen the circular. >However, it does not ask the CPIO "NOT TO TRANSFER" the application U/s 6(3). I had filed an application to seek information under Second Schedule from IB on 25th July 2008 with CIC, since I did not knew who is the right CPIO and AA in that case. Nor there is any exclusive website of IB. So I had asked who is CPIO and AA for IB from CIC and in absence of authentic information for CPIO and AA in IB, I had filed with CIC asking them to transfer to IB. CPIO of CIC provided information about CPIO and AA with IB on 20th August 2008 but did not transfer my application under section 6(3) citing reasons of DoP&T circular as per verbal communication. I was asked to file application for information all over again to IB as per my telephonic communication with office of CPIO, CIC. >I would also like to add that I had personally visited the office of >DoP&T, New Delhi on 30th July this year along with another friend >to get a first hand knowledge and quasi judicial reason behind the >issuance of this circular.
