Name of the Appellant              : Shri Anil Kumar Sahoo

Name of the Public Authority       : Indian Oil Corporation Limited



Facts

:

1. The appeal was scheduled for hearing on 18th August, 2010, but the
appellant did not avail of the opportunity of personal hearing. The appeal is
therefore examined on merit.

2. In response to the RTI application, the CPIO and Appellate Authority have
duly replied and furnished the information. A part of the information relating to
commercial customers has been refused under section 8 (1) (d) of the Act. Being
dis-satisfied with CPIO’s response, the appellant has pleaded for providing
complete information.

Decision:

3. The CPIO has largely furnished the information except the details of
commercial customers, which has been refused under section 8 (1) (d) of the
Act. As the appellant has not indicated as to what is the public interest in

1
disclosure of information relating to commercial users of petroleum products, this
appeal is considered unnecessary and is thus disposed of.
