$~55 * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + W.P.(C) 5099/2016 & C.M.No.21229/2016 SHYAM KUNVAR ..... Petitioner Through Mr.Chetan Dutt with Mr.R.K.Yadav, Advocates.

versus CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION & ORS ..... Respondents Through None

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANMOHAN

O R D E R

% 30.05.2016 Present writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 26th April, 2016 passed by respondent-CIC wherein the petitioner has been held an abuser of RTI Act and it has been concluded that there is no iota of public interest involved in the multiple applications filed by him.

Upon perusal of the RTI application filed by the petitioner in which information of attendance of all teachers have been asked for between the years 1993 and 2001, this Court is of the opinion that the information asked for is stale and no element of public interest is involved. It seems to this Court that the petitioner's queries are at best a fishing and roving enquiry to challenge 'Mr.Arun Arya's meteoric rise from UDC to youngest ever Principal', as mentioned by the petitioner at page 5 of the paper book.

The aforesaid only confirms what the learned CIC has held. Consequently, the present writ petition and the application are dismissed.
