The hearing was attended by Manpreet Kaur Deputy Director/ First Appellate Authority (FAA) Directorate of Urban Local Bodies Jammu and Gharu Ram, Executive Officer/PIO Municipal Committee Akhnoor. The appellant did not appear. The PIO filed counter reply in the 2nd appeal and submitted that whatever information was available with his office has been provided to the appellant. The appeal was adjourned and the appellant was granted an opportunity to appear before the Commission on next date of hearing as it could not be ascertained whether the appellant is satisfied with the reply or not provided by the PIO. The instant case again came up for hearing on 28-02-2017. The hearing was attended by the PIO, Urban Local Bodies Akhnoor. The appellant did not attend the hearing again.
SIC's order 28th Feb reads as:
"The appellant did not present himself before the SIC on consecutive dates of hearings to put forth his case nor filed any written statement. His continued absence indicates that either he has got the information from the PIO and is satisfied with the same or that he is not interested in pursuing his appeal any further before the SIC. The appeal is accordingly disposed of without any further order or direction"
