Facts

1. The appellant did not avail of the opportunity of personal hearing on
26/12/2008. The appeal is, therefore, examined on merit.

matter. The CPIO has duly replied and stated that he is not expected to state his
views and opinion on an issue raised by an information seeker. Being not
satisfied with the response, the appellant has pleaded for providing the
information asked for.

Decision:

3. Under Section 2(f) of the Act, an information seeker is required to specify
the information, which should be available in any material form. The appellant is
