You should have gone for an appeal after 30 days and again if there is no reply then the matter goes to the CIC. Wonder why you have not filed a compliant yet.

[avi88]

Filed an appeal to appealent authority to concerned cpio, received response that; CPIO directed to reply. Received response for 1 out of 2. Wrote appealent authority again. Received another response that; they have given directions again.

I m not based in India, so thing bit hard for me regarding these issues.
