Like you I also feel that SPIOs & CPIOs cannot co-exist inside a single Public Authority. They have a mutually exclusive existence. Dena Bank's designating SPIOs is certainly not in order. At best it can be "State Level" PIO. Even then I found many CIC orders concerning Dena Bank where the order itself contains the word SPIO. The erstwhile commissioner IC Padma glossed over the same. Since you have already raised this issue with them I do not intend to raise the same again with them. I will just make a complaint to the CIC about which you monotoned in your letter and then sit tight on it. If the CIC finds it at odds with the provisions of the Act then let them advise the PA to make amendments.
