Singh, Director(Lands &amp; Cantonments),\nMoD, and Shri M.L. Range, Dy. DG, Dte Genl. Of Defence Estates. It is the say of Shri\nRange that they have made efforts to trace out the requested documents but to no avail. It\nis explained to him that denial of information on the ground that the requested\ninformation is more than 20 years old, is misconceived and contrary to law. In fact, if\ninformation is more than 20 years old, it is to be disclosed subject to the provisions of\nclauses (a), (c) &amp; (i) of Section 8(1) of the RTI Act. We, however, are of the clear\nopinion that these clauses do not appear to be attracted in the matter in hand. In other\nwords, the information requested for by the appellant is disclosable.\n\n                                            DECISION\n\n2.    In view of the above, Shri M.L. Range, Dy. DG, Dte. Genl. Of Defence Estates,\nNew Delhi, is hereby directed to have fresh efforts made to trace out the requested\ndocuments and if traced out, to supply copies thereof to the appellant. However, if the\ndocuments are not traced out, Shri Range will file an affidavit before this Commission in\n06 weeks time with a copy thereof to the appellant.\n\n\n                                                                                            Sd\/-\n                                                                                 ( M.L.
