As such there is no SIC and SCIC in the State government office at Keonthal complex Khalini  , Shimla- 2 and applicant feeling tortured because of his incomplete information and the applicant stated that the said scheme has been shown complete in the report and returns of the departmental working. Shri Praveen Kumar was surprised to know that department failed to issue completion certificate of the said scheme and on the other hand the public information officer has taken no cognisance of the complete information related to fiduciary related provision of the scheme and work of Irrigation scheme where no relevant record of the M-Form provided by the Public information officer and clearly replying that no such information is available in the record of the office. Keeping in view the above position of the departmental working the state government is requested to follow sub section (3) of section 12 and issue necessary appointment of the designated SIC and SCIC in the interest of justice to common man facing problems because of the defunct status and position of State Information Commission:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh phone number, 9459334377
