from work, he had been issued an SF5. He wanted to know in this connection reasons for issuance
of SF5 and also the name of the officer who had enquired into this case. The PIO replied on 11.3.10
furnishing point wise information. He also added that the Applicant’s name sake was working in
IOW(East) and that SF5 to be issued to him was inadvertently sent to the Applicant. The Applicant
