Subsequently, CPIO, DGoV, Customs & Central Excise, East Zonal Unit, 169 A.J.C. Bose Road, Bamboo Vila, Kolkata furnished a para wise reply and denied information to the appellant on 17.03.2021 under section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act, 2005.

Being dissatisfied, the appellant filed a First Appeal dated 19.04.2021. FAA's order dated 13.05.2021 held as under:-

"The information sought are available in the DGoV, Kolkata under fiduciary relationship as these were received by this Office as 'confidential' information from a different authority. Further, Vigilance Investigation being carried out by this Zonal Unit of the Directorate General of Vigilance is not yet over. CBI's prosecution in this matter is also under process. Therefore, the information sought cannot be provided to the Appellant as this may impede the process of -further investigation and prosecution. Hence, the information sought is denied under section 8(1)(e) & 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act 2005. I also uphold the decision of the CPIO for denying the information sought and therefore reject the present appeal."
