IN Karnataka Complaints are accepted under sec 18(1) . The Scic has informed recently that from 1/4/09 all Complaints & appeals will be treated as Petitions only . Since the Act allows the Complaint Mechanism in six circumstances , the interpretation that every Application which qualifies for the six circumstances do pass through the FAA . To my mind Sec 18(1) has an very siginificant relevance and hence the Confers Powers to the Information Commission itself directly and not the FAA

It always insists that the Complainant first exhaust the First Appeal under Sec 19(1) before approaching the SIC. Recent decisions of IC SG also ask the Complainant to exhaust 19(1) before approaching CIC.
