ORDER
Background
1. The Applicant filed an RTI application dt.8.4.10 with the PIO, RRB, Bhopal seeking information as to
whether he had appeared in the RRB, Bhopal’s examination held on 29.5.05 for the post of ticket
collector bearing roll No.21413316 and if so, whether he was declared successful on the basis of the
above said examination and if yes, whether any appointment letter was issued to him. If so, the
copies of the same and if not, the reasons to be provided to him. He also sought the attested copy of
application filed by him for the first stage examination. Shri D.P.Gupta, PIO replied on 25.5.10 stating
that the Roll No. provided by the Applicant does not appear in the results of the written examination of
the final stage. The Applicant filed a complaint dt.27.9.10 before CIC stating that he was a candidate
for the RRB Bhopal’s examination and the Roll No. indicated by him is reflected in the result sheet
against his name and hence RRB, Bhopal should not have any objection in supplying the same under
the RTI Act.
Decision
2. During the hearing, Shri D.P.Gupta, Respondent PIO submitted that though the name of the
candidate in the result sheet matches with the name of the Complainant in the instant case , an
enquiry into the matter (based on the roll number given by the Appellant in the RTI application)
revealed that the candidate in the result sheet was someone else bearing the same name but having
a different address, father’s name etc. from the details furnished by the Complainant. Hence the
person who has been selected and appointed is a different person and not the Complainant as per
the PIO, WCR, Jabalpur’s letter dt.13.8.10 . The Respondent added that this fact has already been
intimated to the Appellant .
3. In view of the submission by the Respondent the Commission holds that there is no need for
authorizing disclosure of any further information and accordingly rejects the complaint and closes
the case at the Commission’s end.
