Delhi College of Engineering,

The Appellant was not present in spite of notice.
On behalf of the Respondent, the following were present:
(i) Shri N.K. Sharma, Deputy Secretary,
(ii) Shri Puran Singh, Assistant
Chief Information Commissioner : Shri Satyananda Mishra
2. In spite of notice, the Appellant was not present. The Respondents were
present and made their submissions. The Appellant had sought a number of
information in respect of the recruitment to the post of Professor in Mechanical
Engineering in the Delhi College of Engineering. The CPIO had provided him
with some information. After carefully considering the facts of the case, we are
CIC/WB/A/2010/000815SM
of the opinion that the marks awarded to successful candidates in this particular
recruitment exercise should also be disclosed. The CIC, in a number of
decisions in the past, has held that the marks awarded to successful candidates
in any selection process must be listed in the public domain since such marks
make the person concerned eligible for selection.
3. In the light of the above, we now direct the CPIO to provide to the
Appellant within 10 working days from the receipt of this order, the details of the
marks scored under different headings by the successful candidates in this
particular exercise. Since the Respondents clarified that the UPSC did not
assign any marks under the various other heads listed by the Appellant against
his queries from 4 to 12, there is no need to provide any information in this
regard.
4. With the above direction, the appeal is disposed off.
5. Copies of this order be given free of cost to the parties.
