The appellant had sought extensive information, including internal file notings, communications with Resolution Professional and the Committee of Creditors member bank, copies of the show cause notice, replies, hearing details, and status of disciplinary proceedings. The CPIO had informed that the complaint was admitted and disciplinary proceedings were initiated, but declined detailed disclosure. On appeal, the FAA held that most of the information sought was exempt under the RTI Act, as disclosure at this stage could impede ongoing disciplinary proceedings and any prosecution. However, FAA directed disclosure of file notings pertaining to the complaint.
