                                                                          Decision No. 4268/IC(A)/2009
                                                                          F. No. CIC/MA/C/2009/00246

Name of the Appellant:  Shri Bhaskar Jyoti Gogoi
Name of the Public Authority:  Oil India Limited

Facts: 1. The complainant has alleged that the CPIO of the respondent has refused to furnish the information on the ground that the appellant has not submitted a proof of his citizenship.


2. On perusal of the documents submitted by the appellant, it is noted that the appellant has asked for information regarding the selection of Junior Engineers.

Decision:
3. A Public Authority is expected to disclose the information relating to the outcome of the process of selection of staff. In view of this, the denial of information merely on the ground that the appellant has not submitted his citizenship proof, is unacceptable.


4. The CPIO is directed to furnish the information asked for by the complainant free of cost within 15 working days from the date of issue of this decision, failing which penalty proceedings u/s 20 (1) of the Act would be initiated. The complaint is thus disposed of.
