This   matter   came   up   for   hearing   on   15.10.2010   pursuant   to

2. It   is   obvious   from   a   reading   of   appellant’s   RTI­application   dated 
18.11.2009 that all his queries are in respect of information relating to a 
third­party   and   that   third­party’s   transactions   with   the   Bank.     These 
cannot be authorized to be disclosed under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act. 
As the information also is of commercial confidence of the Bank vis­à­vis 
its customer, it also attracts the exemption­Section 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act.

3. Appellant’s claim that there was public interest in its disclosure is 
without any basis.

4. Information cannot be authorized to be disclosed.

5. Appeal fails.  Closed.
