ORDER
Background
The Applicant filed his RTIapplication with the PIO, North Central Railway, Agra on 02.06.2010
seeking certain information about revision of his pension in the wake of 6 th Pay Commission
recommendations. The PIO, on 02.07.2010, informed the Applicant that owing to some technical
error the amended PPO could not be issued and thus his pension could not be revised. The
Applicant, thereafter, took up the matter in 1stappeal with the Appellate Authority on 26.07.2010. The
AA, in his order dated 01.09.2010, recorded that the Appellant’s requirement does not come under
the definition of information as given in Section 2(f) of the RTIAct and that the relevant information
has already been supplied by the PIO. He, however, enclosed a copy of the reply received from the
concerned section with his order. The Appellant, thereafter, filed the present appeal in the
Commission on 2611.2010 alleging that the information furnished by the PIO varies from the
information sent by the AA along with its order.
Decision
2. The Respondents, during the hearing, informed the Commission that they have since resolved the
Appellant’s grievance by revising his pension as per the revised scale. They accordingly handed over
the PPO to the Appellant in the presence of the Commissioner. They also agreed to explain to
the Appellant the calculation they have made while revising his pension which the Appellant
happily accepted.
3. Since the requirement in the present appeal has been met with, no further proceeding need be
drawn. Matter is accordingly directed to be closed at the Commission’s level.
