qualify to be information under Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005.

respondent.

Decision

After hearing the respondent and on perusal of the relevant documents the
Commission finds no reason to interfere with the decision of the CPIO that the query
raised by the Appellant in his RTI application do not qualify to be information under
Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005.

The matter is disposed of accordingly.
