 +**Quick Reply:** Another **dismissed** CBI appeal (2 February 2022): the information sought was **personal**, and §8(1)(j) did the work. Read with [[:cases:cic-sharat-kohli-v-cbi-2021-320540|Sharat Kohli (2021)]], it shows the pattern — third-party personal material in a CBI file is where RTI asks go to die. Reframe around **process records** or the **corruption/human-rights gateway** of §24.

 +===== Outcome =====
 +
 +Appeal dismissed by the Commission
 +
 +===== Reading the order =====
 +
 +  * **File:** CIC No. IK/9140685, decided 2 February 2022 — the same Commission stream as the 2021 CBI dismissals.
 +  * **Held:** information denied under **§8(1)(j)** — personal information, no larger public interest shown to displace the exemption.
 +
 +===== The pattern, and how to break it =====
 +
 +  * The **§24 + §8(1)(j) double wall**: CBI's Second Schedule status first, the privacy exemption second (see [[:act:section-24|Section 24]] and [[:act:section-8|Section 8]]).
 +  * **Break it with framing:** seek the **complaint's progress**, the **closure report's existence**, **action-taken records** — machinery facts, not personal ones.
 +  * **Plead the gateway:** for corruption allegations, the §24 proviso is the route in; say so in the application, with facts.
 +  * **Aggregates beat individuals:** counts, dates and stages of cases are not anyone's personal information.
 +
 +===== Ratio decidendi =====
 +
 +Information denied under Section 8(1)(j) — personal information; no public interest overriding.

 +===== FAQs =====
 +==== Same result as Sharat Kohli — is CBI RTI pointless? ====
 +No — it is narrow, not closed: corruption and human-rights material has the §24 gateway, and process/aggregate records are routinely supplied.
 +==== The information is about a public servant — still personal? ====
 +Service and asset particulars of public servants are a recognised disclosure zone; but investigative material about identified individuals usually gets the 8(1)(j) treatment at CBI.
 +==== What should my queries look like? ====
 +"What is the status of complaint no. X" / "Whether a closure report was filed in FIR no. Y; if so, the date and the authority that approved it" — process, dates, stages.
