The commission maintained that the plea of the Respondent to dismiss the appeal on the ground of lis alibi pendens did not hold water as because the appeal pertains to information held by public body; and that the Appellant had submitted that “We have no case in any court against CBC for not providing us the information under RTI”. The commission maintained that the requested information pertaining to the provision of “true copy of the last three years’ contracts signed between Cantonment Board Clifton, (CBC) and the contractors/Thekedars” is declared public records under Section 6 (c) of the Right of Access to Information Act 2017.
