ORDER
Background
1. The Applicant filed his RTIapplication (dated 05.02.2012) with the PIO, North Frontier Railway, Maligaon, Guwahati seeking certain information on the following situation:
"If a railway employee writes about some gross irregularities going on in a Central Government institution ( a non railway institution) in which he is undergoing a training along with some other Govt. Employee. ...."
2. The PIO replied to this application on 07.03.2012 informing the Applicant that he is having some grievance which is not covered under the RTIAct. The Applicant, being aggrieved with the reply of the PIO, filed his first appeal with the Appellate Authority on 16.03.2012 which the Appellate Authority replied to on 26.04.2012 providing some copies of Rule to the Appellant (copy of reply of the Appellate Authority is not enclosed). The Appellant thereafter filed the present petition before the Commission on 22.05.2012 stating that rules provided by the Appellate Authority are not applicable to the information desired by him.
