The present petition raises a grievance that the respondent / Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has not furnished a cogent response to the petitioner's Right to Information (RTI) application dated 12.11.2022 (hereinafter 'the RTI application') despite the directions contained in order dated 19.10.2023 passed in this regard by the Central Information Commission (CIC).

A perusal of the RTI application reveals that the query nos.1 to 5 therein are founded on the premise that there exists a banquet hall in plot No.12, Khasra No.771, Rohini Sector-23, Karan Vihar. 3.

A perusal of the response dated 08.12.2022 to the petitioner's RTI application reveals that it has been categorically stated therein by the concerned PIO that "as per report of Area APHI no banquet hall found running during the inspection of Plot No.12, Khasra No.771, Sector-23 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
