ORDER
Background
1. This Complaintpetition is related to the Applicant’s RTIapplication dated 30.03.2010, filed with the
Public Information Officer(PIO), Baroda House, New Delhi through which he solicited certain
information–pertaining to the years 83, 89, and 8791–about service related matter of casual
worker in the public authority. The PIO, on 10.08.2010, provided to the Applicant the information
which he could locate in the records. The Applicant, thereafter, filed his 1 stappeal with the AA on
09.01.2010 which, according to the Applicant, has not been decided by the AA. The Applicant,
thereafter, filed the present appeal in the Commission on 22.09.2010 requesting that the information
be furnished to him.
Decision
2. After examining the records, it is seen that although the information requested by the Complainant
was very old, the Respondents had made every attempt to provide to him the information which they could
locate in their records. Considering that information is more than 27 years old and is not available with the
Respondents, it would not be possible for the Commission to authorize disclosure of the information.
3. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
