Decision Notice
Appeal partially accepted.
Elements of the decision:
Section 8(1)(j) Directed the CPIO to provide information
2. We heard this case through videoconferencing. The Appellant was not
CIC/SM/A/2010/000579
present in spite of notice. The Respondent was present in the Chennai studio.
3. We heard his submissions. The Appellant had sought several details
about the candidates who had appeared and had cleared the interview for the
post of probationary officer in 2009. The CPIO had treated the information to be
personal in nature and had, therefore, denied it by invoking the exemption
provision contained in Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
4. After carefully considering the facts of the case and in line with similar
decisions made in the past, we are of the view that the information regarding
the mark secured and other such details should be provided only in respect of
those candidates who had finally been declared successful and had been
offered appointment in the Bank. Therefore, we direct the CPIO to provide to
the Appellant within 10 working days from the receipt of this order the desired
information in regard to only the successful candidates.
5. With the above direction, the appeal is disposed off.
6. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
