Appellant : Shri Dayashanker Shukla
Respondent : State Bank of India, Bhopal
s
This matter was heard on 16.11.2010 pursuant to Commission’s
notice dated 27.10.2010. Appellant was absent when called, while the
respondents were represented by Shri N.Ukrani, Asst. General Manager
and Shri G.P.Mahananda, Nodal Officer (RTI).
2. Appellant’s RTIapplication dated 04.08.2009, addressed to SBI’s
R.A.C.P.C., Raipur, was on the subject of the number of loans granted by
the Bank to loanees between 01.05.2005 and 30.07.2009 on their
producing, what appellant has described as, certified copies of the
documents.
3. It was denied by the CPIO and the Appellate Authority on the
ground that such an information was not centrally maintained by them
and collecting and collating it from over 5000 files will be a drain on the
public authority’s resources thereby attracting Section 7(9) of the RTI Act.
4. It was pointed out on behalf of the respondents that this appellant
himself has attempted to have his loanapplication processed on the
basis of certified documents of the land to be mortgaged. It was rejected
by the Bank’s R.A.C.P.C. Office on the ground that the Bank needed the
originals of these documents to process the application for sanction of

loan. The origin of appellant’s abovementioned RTIapplication lies in
his pique on account of the above refusal.
5. I find no infirmity in the orders of the CPIO and the Appellate
Authority, which are upheld.
6. Appeal fails. Closed.
7. Copy of this direction be sent to the parties.
