SEBI's Appellate Authority dismissed an RTI appeal seeking clarification on mandatory Aadhaar for demat accounts and delisting policies.
The authority upheld SEBI CPIO's response that queries were clarificatory, hypothetical, and vague, not constituting 'information' under RTI Act.
The order referenced CIC precedents stating public authorities need not provide opinions or answer situational queries under RTI.
The appeal was decided without a personal hearing as the issues were deemed non-complex and self-explanatory.
