The Appellant was present along with Shri Johri.
No one was present on behalf of the Respondent.
2. In this case, the Appellant had requested the CPIO for three pieces of
information regarding Shri G.P. Sharma, Senior Branch Manager, Mainpuri.
The CPIO declined to disclose the information by claiming exemption under
Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act. The Appellant had
preferred an appeal against this. The Appellate Authority dismissed the appeal
finding no merit in it. Consequently, the Appellant is here before the Central
Information Commission in second appeal.
3. We heard the case through videoconferencing. The Appellant was
present in the Mainpuri Studio of the NIC. The Respondents were not present

in spite of notice. After hearing the submissions of the Appellant and carefully
examining the RTIapplication, we do not find any reason to classify the desired
information as personal at all. Therefore, we direct the CPIO to provide to the
Appellant within 10 working days from the receipt of this order the following
three pieces of information:
(i) Copy of the transfer order of Shri G.P. Sharma, if any, from Mainpuri
Branch in 2008;
(ii) copy of the stay order, if any, of the above transfer order; and
(iii) copy of the undertaking, if any, given by Shri G.P. Sharma for the
stay of the above transfer.
4. With the above direction, the appeal is disposed off.
5. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
