the appellant has asked for the information relating to official and personal details of
respondent’s employees, who are identified in his application. The CPIO has
refused to furnish the information u/s 8 (1) (j) of the Act. Being not satisfied with the
response, the appellant has pleaded that the employee’s details as asked for should
be furnished to him.

interest in disclosure of personal details of his own colleagues.
4. The appeal was unnecessary and is thus disposed of.
