  • I filed an RTI application with the PIO of a government department to get information about the details of a contract awarded to a private company. The PIO refused to provide the information, citing that it was confidential and exempt under §8(1)(d) of the RTI Act. I filed a first appeal, but the FAA upheld the PIO's decision. Now, I want to file a second appeal with the CIC. Can I challenge the PIO's decision and what are my chances of getting the information?
