that he has asked for certain information about personal and official details of an
employee who is identified in the RTI application.

appellant is not satisfied. He has alleged that the PIO has furnished incomplete
information.

Decision:

3. The appellant has asked for information relating to an employee of the
respondent. It is not clear as to which information has been refused to him or as
to what is the public interest in seeking the information relating to service details
