The Appellant was not present in spite of notice.
On behalf of the Respondent, the following were present:
(i) Shri Arvind Kumar, Senior Manager (Law),
(ii) Shri R.K. Agarwal, Chief Manager
2. In this case, the Appellant had, in his application dated 15 May 2009,
requested the CPIO to provide clarification/information on a number of queries.
In his reply dated 19 May 2009, the CPIO observed that the queries did not
amount to information within the meaning of Section 2(f) of the Right to
Information (RTI) Act. Not satisfied with this reply, the Appellant had preferred
an appeal which the Appellate Authority disposed of in his order dated set in
June 2009. He endorsed the reply given by the CPIO. Consequently, the
Appellant has approached the CIC in second appeal.

3. During the hearing of the case, the Appellant was not present in spite of
notice. The Respondents were present and made their submissions. We also
carefully perused the RTI application and found that only the following three
items of information need to be given since the remaining queries are unclear
and do not strictly amount to information:
i) a copy of the posting order of the CTO in this particular branch along with a
copy of his joining letter;
ii) a copy of the jobchart of the CTO; and
iii) a copy of the letter sanctioning a Scale II post in this particular branch.
4. We direct the CPIO to provide the above to the Appellant within 10
working days from receipt of this order.
5. The appeal is thus disposed off.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
