Facts

:

1. The appellant did not avail of the opportunity of personal hearing on
04.09.2008. The appeal is therefore examined on merit.

2. The appellant has asked for copies of certificates submitted by a retired
employee of the respondent and other related information. The CPIO has furnished
partial information, while the remaining information has been denied u/s 8(1) (j) of
the Act. Being not satisfied with the response, he has pleaded for providing complete
information.

Decision:

3. The information asked for has no relationship with any public activity of the
respondents. Moreover, it pertains to personal information of a retired employee.
The denial of information u/s 8 (1) (j) of the Act is therefore justified.

4. This appeal was unnecessary and thus disposed of.
