29 Jan, 2020 | P Kannan vs CPIO, O/o The Chief Secretary, Andaman & Nicobar Administration, Information sought: The Appellant through 8 points sought information regarding the action taken, orders passed and other related documents & entire file noting(s) in connection with the office Memorandum of Central Vigilance Commission, New Delhi vide no. 006/04/UTS/001/134477 dt. 28.06.2011. Decision: Commission has gone through the case records and on the basis of the proceedings during hearing observes that the information sought by the Appellant in the instant RTI Application pertains to personal information of a third party, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any larger public interest and would cause an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the third party. In view of this, Commission finds it pivotal to cite observations of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in various cases, wherein the aspect of “personal information” has been explained in a highly structured manner. In this regard, ratio laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Canara Bank Vs. C.S. Shyam in Civil Appeal No.22 of 2009 may be noted, wherein the scope of Section 8(1)(j) of RTI Act with respect to service matters of government employees has been further exemplified. The relevant portion of the said judgment is as under: “...5) The information was sought on 15 parameters with regard to various aspects of transfers of clerical staff and staff of the Bank with regard to individual employees. This information was in relation to the personal details of individual employee such as the date of his/her joining, designation, details of promotion earned, date of his/her joining to the Branch where he/she is posted, the authorities who issued the transfer orders etc. etc. 12) In our considered opinion, the issue involved herein remains no more res integra and stands settled by two decisions of this Court in Girish Ramchandra Deshpande vs. Central Information Commissioner & Ors., (2013) 1 SCC 212 and R.K. Jain vs. Union of India & Anr., (2013) 14 SCC 794, it may not be necessary to re-examine any legal issue urged in this appeal. 13) In Girish Ramchandra Deshpande's case (supra), the petitioner therein (Girish) had sought some personal information of one employee working in Sub Regional Office (provident fund) Akola. All the authorities, exercising their respective powers under the Act, declined the prayer for furnishing the information sought by the petitioner. The High Court in writ petition filed by the petitioner upheld the orders. Aggrieved by all the order, he filed special leave to appeal in this Court. Their Lordships dismissed the appeal and upholding the orders passed by the High Court held as under:- ‘12. We are in agreement with the CIC and the courts below that the details called for by the petitioner i.e. copies of all memos issued to the third respondent, show-cause notices and orders of censure/punishment, etc. are qualified to be personal information as defined in clause (j) of Section 8(1) of the RTI Act. The performance of an employee/officer in an organisation is primarily a matter between the employee and the employer and normally those aspects are governed by the service rules which fall under the expression “personal information”, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or public interest. On the other hand, the disclosure of which would cause unwarranted invasion of privacy of that individual. Of course, in a given case, if the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer or the appellate authority is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the disclosure of such information, appropriate orders could be passed but the petitioner cannot claim those details as a matter of right. 13. The details disclosed by a person in his income tax returns are “personal information” which stand exempted from disclosure under clause (j) of Section 8(1) of the RTI Act, unless involves a larger public interest and the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer or the appellate authority is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the disclosure of such information.’ 14) In our considered opinion, the aforementioned principle of law applies to the facts of this case on all force. It is for the reasons that, firstly, the information sought by respondent No.1 of individual employees working in the Bank was personal in nature; secondly, it was exempted from being disclosed under Section 8(j) of the Act and lastly, neither respondent No.1 disclosed any public interest much less larger public interest involved in seeking such information of the individual employee and nor any finding was recorded by the Central Information Commission and the High Court as to the involvement of any larger public interest in supplying such information to respondent No.1...” [Emphasis Supplied] Further, Commission also relies upon the recent judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Central Public Information Officer, Supreme Court of India Vs. Subhash Chandra Agarwal in Civil Appeal No. 10044 of 2010 with Civil Appeal No. 10045 of 2010 and Civil Appeal No. 2683 of 2010. The relevant portion of the said judgment is as under: “…59. Reading of the aforesaid judicial precedents, in our opinion, would indicate that personal records, including name, address, physical, mental and psychological status, marks obtained, grades and answer sheets, are all treated as personal information. Similarly, professional records, including qualification, performance, evaluation reports, ACRs, disciplinary proceedings, etc. are all personal information. Medical records, treatment, choice of medicine, list of hospitals and doctors visited, findings recorded, including that of the family members, information relating to assets, liabilities, income tax returns, details of investments, lending and borrowing, etc. are personal information. Such personal information is entitled to protection from unwarranted invasion of privacy and conditional access is available when stipulation of larger public interest is satisfied. This list is indicative and not exhaustive…” [Emphasis Supplied] Adverting to the supra, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in both the aforementioned cases has categorized a variety of aspects that comes under the purview of “personal information” which are exempt from disclosure under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act. Commission taking into account the facts of the present case upholds the submission of the PIO with regard to denial of information sought under instant RTI Application. No further action lies |

Upon perusal of records, it appears that the CPIO has not provided any reply to the Appellant in response to the present RTI Application.

Commission takes very strong exception of non-attendance of CPIO during the hearing of Second Appeal. He has also not provided any reply to the Appellant within the timeframe stipulated in the RTI Act. The conduct of the CPIO amounts to a gross violation of the provisions of RTI Act. It also raises a reasonable doubt that the denial of information is with mala fide intent. The CPIO is hereby directed to show cause as to why action should not be initiated against him under Section 20(1) and 20(2) of the RTI Act for failing to comply with the provisions of RTI Act. If the onus of not providing information lies with the “then CPIO”, the present CPIO shall serve a copy of this decision to the then CPIO and the then CPIO shall explain in writing as to why action should not be initiated against him/her under Section 20(1) and 20(2) of the RTI Act.

07 Oct, 2019 | Ms. Shilpa Verma Vs. CPIO, National Insurance Academy, 25, Balewadi Barer Road, Pune – 411045 Information sought The Appellant vide her RTI application sought information on 03 points regarding the details of pre-promotional question paper along with answers held for Scale I to Scale II on 28.05.2017 as also the copy of answers selected by her in pre-promotional exam held on the above mentioned date and issues related thereto. Decision In this regard, the Commission referred to the decision of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in AIIMS v. Vikrant Bhuria, LPA No. 487/2011,on similar issues pronounced in the context of an RTI application seeking information regarding all question papers and answers of all Mch super specialty entrance examinations conducted from 2005-2010. In the aforementioned matter, the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi while distinguishing the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in ICAI v. Shaunak S. Satya, Civil Appeal 7571/2011 had held as under: “4. We tend to agree with the counsel for the appellant that the judgment of the Apex Court in Shaunak H. Satya (supra) cannot be blindly applied to the facts of the present case. The judgment of the Apex Court was in the backdrop of the question papers in that case being available to the examinees during the examination and being also sold together with suggested answers after the examination. Per contra in the present case, the question papers comprises only of multiple choice questions and are such which cannot be carried out from the examination hall by the examinees and in which examination there is an express prohibition against copying or carrying out of the question papers. Thus the reasoning given by the Supreme Court does not apply to the facts of the present case. Furthermore, it is pertinent to refer to the decision of the High Court of Delhi in National Insurance Company Limited v. Shri MSH Beig, W.P.(C) 332/2012 & CM No.720/2012 dated 20.11.2014, made in the context of Promotional Examinations conducted by the NIA, wherein while relying on the decisions of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in All India Institute of Medical Sciences vs. Vikrant Bhuria LPA 487/2011 and in All India Institute of Medical Sciences vs. Prakash Singh: W.P.(C) 8916/2011, it was held as under: “11. In my view, the aforesaid decision would squarely apply in the facts of the present case as the number of questions are limited and a disclosure of the same would affect the efficacy of the promotional exams conducted by the NIA. In this view, the impugned order passed by CIC insofar as it directs disclosure of question paper and answer key (model answers) is set aside” In this context the Commission further referred to the following observations of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in AIIMS v. Vikrant Bhuria, LPA No. 487/2011 wherein it was stated as under: “17. We also need to remind ourselves of the line of the judgments of which reference may only be made to State of Tamil Nadu Vs. K. Shyam Sunder AIR 2011 SC 3470, The Bihar School Examination Board Vs. Subhas Chandra Sinha (1970) 1 SCC 648, The University of Mysore Vs. C. D. Govinda Rao AIR 1965 SC 491, Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Vs. Paritosh Bhupeshkumar Sheth (1984) 4 SCC 27 holding that the Courts should not interfere with such decisions of the academic authorities who are experts in their field. Once the experts of the appellant have taken a view that the disclosure of the question papers would compromise the selection process, we cannot lightly interfere therewith. Reference in this regard may also be made to the recent dicta in Sanchit Bansal Vs. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) (2012) 1 SCC 157 observing that the process of evaluation and selection of candidates for admission with reference to their performance, the process of achieving the objective of selecting candidates who will be better equipped to suit the specialized courses, are all technical matters in academic field and Courts will not interfere in such processes.” Having heard both the parties at length and considering the above referred judgments of the Superior Court, the Commission noted that a suitable reply/information had already been furnished to the Appellant as per the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005. |

16 Sep, 2019 | Devashish Sharma Vs. The CPIO, O/o The Addl. Dy. Commissioner of Police, North West District, Ashok Vihar, Delhi Information sought: The appellant filed an online application under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act) before the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), Addl. Dy. Commissioner of Police, North West District, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, seeking the complete file, including copy of the complaint filed, statements recorded, legal opinion, recommendations of the officials, final orders, and other relevant documents regarding complaint no. 73-C dated 21.04.2017 registered against him with the CAW Cell, Rani Bagh, M2K, North West Distt., Delhi on 24.04.2017 by Ms. Shailja Sharma. Decision: The Commission, after hearing the submissions of the respondents and perusing the records, observes that the information sought for was denied on the grounds that the file was under consideration with Senior Officers which is not a sufficient ground for withholding information under the RTI Act as this is not one of the categories of information which is exempt from disclosure under any of the clauses of Section 8(1) of the RTI Act. The Commission, however, notes that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in case of Moti Ram (D) THR. LRS. & Anr. vs. Ashok Kumar & Anr., Civil Appeal No. 1095 of 2008 dated 07.12.2010 has held: “………. the mediator should not write anything which was discussed, proposed or done during the mediation proceedings. This is because in mediation, very often, offers, counter offers and proposals are made by the parties but until and unless the parties reach to an agreement signed by them, it will not amount to any concluded contract. If the happenings in the mediation proceedings are disclosed, it will destroy the confidentiality of the mediation process.” In view of the above, the proceedings of the CAW Cell are not disclosable under the RTI Act. Hence, no further intervention of the Commission is required in the matter. |

15 Feb, 2019 | Shri R. P. Rohilla Vs. PIO/Dy. Director-(VP), Directorate General of Health Services, Information sought The Appellant filed an RTI application dated 21.06.2018, sought information regarding address of Ms. Sarveen Yadav & Ms. Reena Yadav being the candidates called for interview for the post of Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) in RHTC. Dr. Charan Singh, Director & CPIO vide letter dated 24.07.2018 stated as follows:- “it informed that the requisite information does not come under the purview of RTI Act 2005. Hence, the address of the individual cannot be disclosed without her consent”. Decision The Commission finds no infirmity in the FAO. Section 11 of the RTI Act does not cast an obligation on the PIO to resort to third party procedure in all cases. Section 11 comes into play only when the PIO proposes to disclose information which is personal to any third party. In the present case, the PIO held the information sought as personal and exempted under Section 8(1)(j) in absence of any element of larger public interest. Even before the Commission, no case of public interest has been established. Accordingly, the Commission finds the decision of PIO as well as FAA to be in line with law laid on the aspect. (See: Girish Ramchandra Deshpande vs. Cen. Information Commr. and Ors. (03.10.2012 – SC) : MANU/SC/0816/2012 & Canara Bank vs. C.S. Shyam and Ors. (31.08.2017 - SC) : MANU/SC/1068/2017) |
