Further, he re-appeared for the same examination in 2016 in Paper-III, wherein he again could not pass in the examination, hence filed the present RTI application regarding re-checking and re-evaluation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to the above appellant stated that, he got 46 marks in Paper-III, but the same was shown as 42 when the result was declared, which was again repeated in 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus the correct information was not provided to him by the respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Respondent\u2019s Contention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He submitted that the appellant was provided with a point-wise reply and the same was accepted by the FAA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CPIO was requested by the appellant to send his answer scripts for re-evaluation\/re-checking, which was not permissible under the RTI Act, as under the provisions of the RTI Act appellant cannot expect the respondent to take certain action or initiate action as desired by him. The appellant was informed that the information being sought by him does not come under the ambit of Section 2(f) of the RTI Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Respondent advised the appellant to refer the regulations framed in respect to the above under the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. It was affirmed by the respondent that the result was displayed as per the marks obtained by a candidate in the examination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clarification in respect to the answer scripts for the AoR examination was provided by stating that, the answer scripts are retained only for a time frame of 1 year as per the Regulation 18 of the Advocates-on-Record examination contained in Supreme Court Rules, 2013, therefore, the same would have been weeded out before the filing of the RTI application and cannot be provided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>RTI Act is not the proper law for redressal of grievances and there are other appropriate fora for resolving such matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commission on perusal of the facts and contentions of the parties observed that due information was provided to the appellant and thus the Commission accepts the stand of the respondent that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RTI Act is not the proper law for redressal of grievances and there are other appropriate fora for resolving such matters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Appeal was disposed of in view of the above terms.
