F.No. CIC/AT/A/2009/000068
Dated, the 22nd May, 2009

Appellant : Shri Gulshan Kumar Kaushik
Respondents : Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI)

  This matter was heard on 16.04.2009 pursuant to Commission’s
notice dated 16.03.2009. Both parties were present

2. After perusing the records, I find that the respondents were right in
declining to answer the appellant’s RTI-queries on the ground of these
being not requests for any specific information which, therefore, did not
qualify to be ‘information’ under Section 2(f) of the RTI-Act.

3. Respondents’ decision is upheld.

4. Appeal closed.

5. Copy of this decision be sent to the parties.
