2013 (1) TMI 319 - HC - Indian LawsRTI Act - information supplied by respondent Bank was misleading and wrong - Held that:- The proceedings under the RTI Act do not entail detailed adjudication of the said aspects. The dispute relating to dismissal of the appellant No.2 from the employment of the respondent Bank is admittedly pending consideration before the appropriate fora. The purport of the RTI Act is to enable the appellants to effectively pursue the said dispute. The question, as to what inference if any is to be drawn from the response of the PIO of the respondent Bank to the RTI application of the appellants, is to be drawn in the said proceedings and as aforesaid the proceedings under the RTI Act cannot be converted into proceedings for adjudication of disputes as to the correctness of the information furnished. Moreover, there is a categorical finding of the CIC, of the appellants misusing the RTI Act, as is also evident from the plethora of RTI applications filed by the appellants. Thus factual findings of the CIC that information in possession of the respondent Bank had already been provided and no opinion as sought in the application could be provided, which was not interfered by the Single Judge need not be interfere by us - appeal dismissed.
