Facts

: 1

1. The appellant has asked for certain information in the form of various queries,
which relate to a recruitment process. Through his RTI application, he has sought to
know the action taken on a representation submitted by him for redressal of his
grievances regarding his employment. He has alleged that the desired information has
not been furnished to him.

Decision:

2. An information seeker should ask for information as per Section 2(f) and 2(j)
of the Act. The appellant is accordingly advised.

3. The PIO is directed to furnish the information on the basis of available
records within 15 working days from the date of issue of this decision. The
appellant should re-submit a copy of his RTI application to the concerned PIO, for
ready reference.

4. There are no provisions in the Act for redressal of grievances relating to
service matters. This complaint is therefore considered unnecessary and is thus
disposed of.
