An appellant, Akash Deep Tewari, a flat owner in a bankrupt company, had sought details about parking spaces from the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) appointed under the CIRP. The IBBI CPIO had rejected his application, stating the information was not maintained by the Board. Tewari’s appeal argued that since the IRP operates under the IBBI, the Board should obtain the information from the IRP. The First Appellate Authority (FAA) ruled that a public authority is not obligated to collect or create information that it does not hold. The order advised the appellant to directly contact the IRP.
