A strong need had therefore been felt to provide some guidelines which will serve the interest of both parties. The matter was discussed with AGM\/Appellate Authority and PIO\/DGM and it was decided that guidelines in the form of some landmark decisions of the CIC during first year of the RTIA are summarized in a simple manner for easy understanding. Accordingly, an attempt has been made to compile and circulate these decisions for better appreciation of the provisions of RTIA. For details of the relevant decision, readers may like to peruse them in website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cic.gov.in\/\">www.cic.gov.in<\/a>as per case reference given at the end of each case.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><strong>File notings :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>Many Public authorities are denying file notings on the basis of information placed on the DoPT website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.righttoinformation.gov.in\/\">www.righttoinformation.gov.in<\/a> despite the fact that the RTIA does not exempt file notings from disclosure. The commission therefore directed the public authorities (PAs) to furnish the file notings and the concerned ministry to remove the said portion from its website. (Ref: CIC\/OK\/A\/2006\/00154 of 13.07.2006.) <br \/><br \/><strong>\u00a0Language under Section 2 (f) :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>Jai Kumar applied to Delhi Development Authority asking for information in Hindi as he has applied to the PIO in Hindi.

The Appellant has applied in his own name and has only given his address and that of an NGO for the purpose of correct delivery of post. Thus merely giving the address of an NGO does not imply that the institution was asking the information. (CIC\/OK\/A\/2006\/00050 \u20133 July 2006) Fee paid to postal Dept. is not Application fee: An information seeker required deposit thefee of Rs.10\/- with&gt;the CPIO, as prescribed by the Government. an ofRs.10\/-totheDepartmentofPosttowardsthecostsof postage andtransmission of his applicationtothe CPIO ofIOCL. This amount does not represent the prescribed fee for obtaining information, as this money is not paid to the concerned CPIO. Thus, the appellant has not paid the requisite fee for seeking the information.The valid instruments for seeking information under the RTI Act are: Cash payment or banker\u2019s cheque\/bank draft or IPO. Payments in any other forms would not be acceptable. <br \/><br \/><strong>Applicant Seeking Opinions of the Authorities :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>The PIO is required to \u2018provide information\u2019 which is available in any form with her office rather than giving her personal opinions on the questions asked by the requester.

It must not be unnecessarily long, too details and couched in legalese with several repetitions. No fresh grounds for information can be allowed to be urged at appellate levels unless found to be of a nature that would warrant their admittance, if the same has not been brought up at the primary level i.e. PIO level.

Whereas under Section 5(5), an officer does not himself have to be designated as a PIO\/ APIO to be liable for penalty for contravention of the provisions of this Act, officials functioning even at the clerical level and above category of Class-IV will be deemed to be \u201cofficers\u201d in the application of this Act. In the normal course, therefore, they would be liable to penalty under Section 5(5) if their assistance had been sought under Section 5(4) of the Act. In this case, therefore, as already held, they cannot plead exemption from application of this provision. (Adjunct to CIC\/ WB\/C\/2006\/00018 of 28.9.2006) <br \/><br \/><strong>Reasons for rejection of requests :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>Through this order the commission now wants to send the message loud and clear that quoting provisions of section 8 (1) of the RTIA ad-libitum to deny the information without giving any justification or grounds as to how these provisions are applicable is simply not acceptable and clearly amounts to malafied denial of legitimate information attracting penalties under section 20(1) of the act.

(CIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00031 of 10.07.2006.) It may have been lot better if the CPIO had kept the complainant periodically informed about the stages of the processing of his case and taken him into confidence about the possibility of some delay. CIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00066- <br \/><br \/><strong>Answer sheets :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>In case of evaluated answer papers the information is available in fiduciary relationship with the PAs &amp; is exempted under section 8(1) (e). in addition when a candidate seeks for the copy of his \/her own or others, it is purely a personal information which has no relationship with any public interest or activities and exempted under section 8(1)(j) of the act. We, as a commission, are not satisfied that larger public interest justifies disclosure of such information. As a matter of fact, we are of the opinion that furnishing copies of the evaluated answer papers would be against the public interest and supply of them would compromise the fairness and impartiality of the selection process. (ICPB\/A-2\/CIC\/2006 of 06.02.2006.) <br \/><br \/><strong>Cut-Off Marks :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>The commission has directed the Staff Selection Commission to furnish the mark sheets (for written examination as well as interview) to the candidates along with cut-off marks for different categories of candidates. (180\/IC (A)\/2006 of 17.08.2006) <br \/><strong><br \/><\/strong><strong>Marks secured by the candidates :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>A division bench has decided that the conduct of examinations are for identifying and short listing the candidates in term of technical competence, the right attitude is highly confidential activities and therefore answer sheets should not be disclosed. But the marks secured by candidates are not to be kept secret and should be disclosed. (11\/53\/2006-CIC of 2.5.2006) <br \/><br \/><strong>Annual Confidential Report and Privacy under section 8 (1) (j) :<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>It is our view that what is contained in ACRs is undoubtedly personal information about that employee\/ officer. The ACRs are protected from disclosure because arguably such disclosures seriously harm interpersonal relationship in a given organization. Further, the ACRs notings represent an interaction based on the trust and confidence between the officers involved in initiating, reviewing or accepting the ACRs. These officers could be seriously embarrassed and even compromised if their notings are made public. There are thus reasonable grounds to protect all such information through a proper classification under the OSA. No public purpose is going to be served by disclosing this information. On the contrary it may lead to harming the public interest in terms of compromising objectivity of assessment, which is the core and substance of the ACR. This may even result from the uneasiness of the reporting, reviewing or accepting officers from the knowledge that their comments were no longer confidential. These ACRs are used by the PAs for promotions, placements and gradings etc. of the officers, which are strictly house keeping and man management functions of any organization. A certain amount of confidentiality insulates these actions from competing pressures and thereby promotes objectivity. We, therefore, are of the view that apart from being personal information, ACRs of officers and employees need not be disclosed because they do not contribute to any public interest. It is also possible that many officers may not like their assessment by their superiors to go into the hands of all and sundry. If the reports are good, these may attract envy and if these are bad, ridicule and derision Either way it affects the employee as well as the organization he\/she work for. On balance, therefore, confidentiality of this information serves a larger purpose, which far outstrips the arguments for its disclosures. (CIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00069 of 13.07.2006) <strong><br \/><br \/><\/strong><strong>Investigating Officer and Privacy<\/strong> <strong>:<\/strong> <br \/><br \/>A citizen requested from the RBI certain information relating to the findings of an inspection of the Memon Cooperative Bank Limited, Mumbai, which was conducted on the basis of a complaint filed by him and a copy of the inspection report along with the name(s) of the investigating officers. The CIC directed the RBI to furnish a copy of the inspection report after the due application of section 10(1) of the Act. Alternatively, the appellant should be provided a substantive response, incorporating major findings of the inspection report and indicating the action taken on the findings of the report. However, the names of the investigating officers may not be revealed as it would not serve any public interest. (177\/IC (A)\/2006 \u2013 17 August 2006) <br \/><br \/><strong>Bio Data and Medical Records under Section 8 (1) (j) : <\/strong>\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Bhagwan Chand Saxena asked for copies of the bio data submitted by four candidates at the time of their appointment as Assistant Directors and also copies of their medical reports submitted by the medical authorities declaring these candidates fit or unfit. The CIC held that when a candidate submits his application for appointment to a post in a public authority, the same becomes public document and he can not object to the disclosure on the ground of invasion of privacy and directed the PIO to provide copies of the bio data. As far as medical reports are concerned, they are purely personal to the individuals and furnishing of the copies of medical reports would amount to invasion of privacy of the individuals and need not be furnished. However, the PIO will disclose to the requester the information whether all four candidates had been declared medically fit or not. (ICPB\/A-9\/CIC\/2006 \u2013 <br \/><br \/><strong>Travel Expenses : <\/strong>\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Travel expenses were charged to the public account. Disclosure of information cannot be denied on the ground of this being personal information and not a public activity and serves no public interest, etc. Travel has been performed as a part and in discharge of official duties and the records related the same are public records and therefore, a citizen has the right to seek disclosure of the same.

Section 8 (1) specifies classes of information which are exempted from disclosure. What section 8 (3) stipulates is that the exemption under section 8 (1) cannot be applied if the information sought related to a period prior to 20 years except those covered in section clauses (a), (c) and (i) of sub-section 8 (1). In other words, even if the information sought is exempt in terms of other sub-section (1) of section 8, and if the same relates to a period 20 years prior to the date of application, then the same shall be provided.

Yet, in the garb of seeking information mainly for redressal of their grievances, applications from requesters are filed. The CPIO\u2019s in turn, have also ventured to answer them. Thus, the information seekers as well as providers have erred in interpreting the definition of information. A CPIO of any public authority is not expected to create and generate a fresh, an information because it has been sought by an appellant. The appellant is, therefore, advised to specify the required information, which may be provided, if it exists, in the form in which it is sought by him.

He has however not substantiated his point as to how he would prove his allegations on the basis of disclosure of income tax returns filed by the third party. Apparently there is no direct relationship between malpractices of petrol and diesel and income tax returns, which is mainly the basis for seeking information.
