S. C. Dhawan, Asstt. Regional Manager\n             (ii)    Sh. Rajesh Sharma, Law Officer\n             (iii) Sh. Y. K. Shukla, DGM\n\nThe brief facts of the case are as under:\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>2.      The Appellant had requested the PIO of the Bank in his letter dated 22<br \/>\nOctober 2007 to certify a large number of handwritten documents. Besides, he<br \/>\nhad also asked for many other details about several documents and the deeds<br \/>\nfiled with the Bank in the past. The CPIO, in his reply dated 16 November 2007,<br \/>\ninformed the Appellant that those documents, copies of which the Appellant had<br \/>\nsought, were not available with the Bank and had been deposited in the Court.<br \/>\nHe, however, provided photocopies of the documents, more legible than the ones<br \/>\nwhich the Appellant had enclosed with his application. The Appellant was not<br \/>\nsatisfied and approached the Appellate Authority in his appeal dated 6 December<br \/>\n2007. The Appellate authority decided his appeal in his order dated 7 January<br \/>\n2008 and upheld the decision of the CPIO. He also assured him that as and when<br \/>\ncopies of those documents sought by the Appellant would be available from the<br \/>\nCourt, the same would be provided to the Appellant. Not content with this order,<br \/>\nthe Appellant has now approached the Commission in second appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     During the hearing, we carefully examined all the documents filed with the<br \/>\nappeal. We heard the submissions of both the sides. The Respondent claims that<br \/>\nmany of the documents about which the Appellant had mentioned in his original<br \/>\napplication were lying in the Debt Recovery Tribunal and were not available in<br \/>\nthe bank at the time he sought the information. On the other hand, the Appellant<br \/>\nclaims that he has already seen the documents and records filed by the Bank in<br \/>\nthe Tribunal but did not find those documents among the said records. In other<br \/>\nwords, he has alleged that the Bank had not given correct information about the<br \/>\ndocuments.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.   In respect of item number 1 in the application of the Appellant, he had<br \/>\nasked for a legible copy of the Mortgage Register. We find that the Respondent<br \/>\nhad already provided him with a copy of the relevant page of the said Register.<br \/>\nHowever, during the hearing, the Respondent offered to give a typed copy of the<br \/>\n relevant page to the Appellant. As far as the item number 2 is concerned, the<br \/>\nRespondent explained that they had filed the relevant document in the Civil<br \/>\nCourt in Jalandhar at the relevant time. However, in the meanwhile, they<br \/>\nmentioned that the original document had been received back by them and this<br \/>\ndocument was available in their respective branch. It was agreed that the<br \/>\nAppellant would inspect this document in the respective branch on 20 January<br \/>\n2009. We note that some of the information sought by the Appellant is not very<br \/>\nclear. For example, he has asked for a confirmation from the Bank if the original<br \/>\ndocument shown at page 7 of the enclosures is available with the Bank or the<br \/>\ndocuments at page 9 and 10 of the enclosures were available at present. At item<br \/>\nnumber 5 of the list of information, he had wanted to know why the Bank<br \/>\nexempted the Partition Deed of 8.5.1957 from the process of recovery and<br \/>\nauction. We are of the view that such queries need not be answered as these do<br \/>\nnot strictly fall within the definition of information. Thus, in view of the fact that<br \/>\nthe Bank has provided all the information in their possession and has now agreed<br \/>\nto provide some more after receiving those back from the Court, there is nothing<br \/>\nmore to be done in this case.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.     We, therefore, dispose off this case with the above observations. Copies of<br \/>\nthis order be given free of cost to the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                  Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                          (Satyananda Mishra)<br \/>\n                                                    Information Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>      Authenticated true copy.
