ORDER
Sh. Shiv Kumar Sharma, the Appellant, filed an RTI application dated 26.10.2010,
seeking copies of his Annual Confidential Report for the last 14 years. The PIO vide
letter dated 19.11.2010, replied to the Appellant that he can inspect the ACRs on any
working day. Not satisfied with the reply of the Appellant filed an appeal before the First
Appellate Authority (FAA). The FAA dismissed the appeal, hence the present appeal
before the Commission.
During the hearing the Appellant submits that he did not ask for inspection of
ACRs and he had in fact sought copies of ACR. The Respondent on the other hand
submit that if the Commission direct them to do not have any objection in furnishing
copies of the ACRs to the appellant.
After hearing the parties and on perusal of the relevant documents on file, and
keeping in view the settled law that the ACRs are not exempted under the provision of
the RTI Act, the Commission deems it fit to direct the PIO to furnish the complete
requisite information to the Appellant within two weeks of receipt of this order.
