Name of the Appellant              : Shri D.D. Sardana

Name of the Public Authority       : NSIC Limited



Facts

:

1. The appeal was scheduled for hearing on 6th September, 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
replied and furnished partial information. The remaining information has been
refused to him on the ground that the desired information relate to a dispute,
which is pending before the Court for adjudication. Being dis-satisfied with
CPIO’s response, the appellant has pleaded for providing the information asked
for.

Decision:

3. The appellant has not indicated as to what is the public interest in
disclosure of information relating to an ongoing dispute, which is pending before
the Court for adjudication. As the Court is examining the matter for providing

1
legal relief to the parties, there is no justification for interfering in the matter. The
appellant an any case can access the information through Court, which is the
custodian of information relating to the dispute. This appeal is therefore
considered unnecessary and is thus disposed of.
