Dated, the 13th July, 2010
Name of the Appellant: Shri. Arvind Jain
Name of the Public Authority: HMT Ltd.
Facts
: i
1. The appeal was scheduled for hearing on 9/7/2010. But, the appellant did
not avail of the opportunity of personal hearing. The appeal is, therefore,
examined on merit.
2. The appellant has asked for information relating to an employee of the
respondent who is identified in the RTI application. The CPIO has refused to
furnish the information u/s 8(1)(j) of the Act, on the ground that the disclosure of
information is not in public interest. Being dissatisfied with the CPIO’s response,
the appellant has pleaded for providing the desired information.
Decision:
3. The appellant has neither indicated as to what is the public interest in
disclosure of the desired information nor he has indicated as to how he is
affected in the matter. This appeal is, therefore, considered unnecessary and is
thus disposed of.
