FACTS
Heard today dated 14.2.2011. Appellant not present. The
Department is represented by Shri B. P. Pal ASP and Shri Krishan Chandra, ASP.
2. During the hearing it transpires that the appellant, who is Sub
Postmaster, Barala, in Muzaffarnagar District, had requested for copies of the
complaints filed against him. While the CPIO furnished copy of one complaint, he
refused to furnish copy of another complaint. Shri Pal submits that copy of the second
complaint cannot be provided as disclosure of the complainant’s identity would
jeopardise his security. He has explained to us the circumstances and we do not wish to
record the name of the complainant. In the circumstances, refusal of information is
justified u/s 8 (1) (g) of the RTI Act.
3. Hence, the appeal is dismissed.
