In this case, since the information pertained to Third party (i.e. you), the PIO was required to follow the procedure given in Section 11 of RTI Act. Since he has not followed said procedure and has disclosed your information to your detriment, you have the remedy to file appeal to appellate authority of concerned PIO under Section 19(2).

If appellate authority rejects your 1st appeal, then you can file 2nd appeal before CIC under Section 19(3).

The CIC has the power under Section 19(8) to direct the concerned authority/PIO to compensate you and to impose penalties upon him as mentioned under Section 20 which includes penalty of Rs.250/- per day subject to max of Rs.25,000/- and CIC can also recommend for disciplinary action against the officer/PIO.
