Decision Notice
Appeal disallowed
2. We heard this case through video conferencing. In spite of notice, no
one was present.
3. The Appellant had sought a list of officers of the erstwhile United
CIC/SM/A/2010/000677
Industrial Bank Ltd which had merged with the Allahabad Bank along with such
details as their grade/scale, designation, place of posting, previous and present
leave fare concession block et cetera. The CPIO had provided him with a copy
of the relevant circular and the list of the officers though he had not provided
any further details sought by him. In disposing of his appeal, the first Appellate
Authority had observed that the data relating to the leave fare concession
block/leave encashment of each of those officers was not prepared and could
only be compiled from various scattered records/sources which would divert the
resources of the public authority. We tend to agree with the decision of the
Appellate Authority. If such details are not maintained centrally at one place, the
CPIO cannot be expected to research into individual leave/service records and
find out about the status of leave fare concession block/leave encashment
status of each of these officers. If the Appellant is interested to know about the
status in regard to any specific officer, he may approach the CPIO afresh and
seek such details.
4. As far as this appeal is concerned, there is nothing more to be done. It is
disposed off accordingly.
5. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
