    Question

    The First Appellate Authority (FAA), upon receiving an

    appeal, can:
    A Only direct the PIO to provide the information. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Dismiss the appeal if it is filed after 30 days. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Direct the PIO to reconsider the application and/or provide the information. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Impose a penalty on the PIO directly. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The role of the First Appellate Authority under Section 19(1) is to review the decision of the PIO. The FAA has the power to uphold, modify, or reverse the PIO's decision, which includes directing the PIO to provide the information. However, the power to impose a penalty lies solely with the Information Commission.
