Summary

Issues Involved:
The issues involved in the judgment are the submission of an RTI application seeking details about the revival of a health policy, response provided by the CPIO and FAA, foreclosure of the health policy, and the appellant's grievance regarding the same.

RTI Application and Response:
The Appellant submitted an RTI application seeking details about the revival of his health policy. The CPIO provided point wise information to the Appellant in response to the application.

First Appeal and Foreclosure of Policy:
The Appellant then preferred a first appeal to the FAA, who informed the Appellant that his policy had been foreclosed. This decision was communicated to the Appellant through the FAA Order.

Second Appeal and Grievance Redressal:
Feeling aggrieved by the foreclosure of his health policy, the Appellant preferred a second appeal before the Commission. During the hearing, the Appellant mentioned that the reasons for the foreclosure were not provided by the Respondents. The Commission acknowledged that the Appellant sought redressal of his grievance regarding the foreclosure of his health policy.

Commission's Decision:
After hearing both parties, the Commission clarified that the redressal of the Appellant's grievance does not fall under the RTI Act. The Commission advised the Appellant to approach the correct grievance redressal forum of the Public Authority for further action. It was noted that complete information had been provided to the Appellant. Consequently, the Commission dismissed the appeal, and the case was closed.
