suitably respond and furnish the information, on the basis of available records,
within one month from the date of receipt of application for information from the

denial of any information, the appellant would be free to approach the

3. The appellant would also be free to seek inspection of the relevant records
as per section 2(j) of the Act, so as to satisfy himself with the availability of the
