Facts
: i
1. The appellant was heard on 27/7/2010.
2. In response to the RTI application for information relating to award of
Retail Outlet Dealership, the CPIO has largely furnished the information. The
information relating to third parties has, however, been refused to him u/s 8(1)(e)
of the Act. Being dissatisfied with the CPIO’s response, the appellant has
pleaded for providing complete information, including the financial details
submitted by the empanelled candidates.
Decision:
3. The CPIO has furnished partial information, while the remaining
information relating to third parties have been refused to him u/s 8(1) (e) of the
Act. Since the process of selection of RO Dealership should be fair and
transparent, the CPIO is directed to allow inspection of the relevant documents
within 15 working days from the date of receipt of this decision, so as to enable
the appellant to identify the required information, which should be furnished to
him. The CPIO would, however, be free to invoke section 10(1) of the Act to

financial transactions, etc.
4. As regards disclosure of third party information, mainly the documents
submitted by the empanelled candidates, the CPIO is free to seek concurrence of
the third parties u/s 11(1) of the Act.
5. With these observations, the appeal is disposed of.
