However, neither party appeared. The<br \/>\nappellant has not clearly stated the reasons for his dissatisfaction with the information provided<br \/>\nto him. However, from a perusal of the papers it appears that the list of assets sought by him of<br \/>\nMr. R. N. Kaushik, Naib Tehsildar has not been provided. The PIO has given no reason for<br \/>\ndenying this information. The commission has already ruled on the matter of disclosure of assets<br \/>\nof a public servant in its decision no. CIC\/SG\/A\/2009\/001436\/4247 on 23 July 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Commission is giving the arguments based on which the decision was taken below:\n<\/p>\n<p>         &#8220;The Commission can allow denial of information only based on the exemptions listed<br \/>\nunder Section 8 (1) of the act. The PIO has claimed that the information should not be disclosed<br \/>\nsince it is exempted from disclosure under Section 8 (1) (j).<br \/>\nUnder Section 8 (1) (j) information which has been exempted is defined as:<br \/>\n&#8220;information which relates to personal information the disclosure of which has no relationship<br \/>\nto any public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of<br \/>\nthe individual unless the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information<br \/>\nOfficer or the appellate authority, as the case may be, is satisfied that the larger public interest<br \/>\njustifies the disclosure of such information:&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>To qualify for this exemption the information must satisfy the following criteria:\n<\/p>\n<p>1.      It must be personal information.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Words in a law should normally be given the meanings given in common language. In<br \/>\ncommon language we would ascribe the adjective &#8216;personal&#8217; to an attribute which applies to an<br \/>\nindividual and not to an Institution or a Corporate. From this it flows that &#8216;personal&#8217; cannot be<br \/>\nrelated to Institutions, organisations or corporates. ( Hence we could state that Section 8 (1) (j)<br \/>\ncannot be applied when the information concerns institutions, organisations or corporates.).<br \/>\nThe phrase &#8216;disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest&#8217; means that<br \/>\nthe information must have some relationship to a Public activity.<br \/>\nVarious Public authorities in performing their functions routinely ask for &#8216;personal&#8217; information<br \/>\nfrom Citizens, and this is clearly a public activity. When a person applies for a job, or gives<br \/>\ninformation about himself to a Public authority as an employee, or asks for a permission, licence<br \/>\nor authorisation, all these are public activities. The information sought in this case by the<br \/>\nappellant has certainly been obtained in the pursuit of a public activity.\n<\/p>\n<p>We can also look at this from another aspect. The State has no right to invade the privacy of an<br \/>\nindividual. There are some extraordinary situations where the State may be allowed to invade<br \/>\non the privacy of a Citizen. In those circumstances special provisos of the law apply, always with<br \/>\ncertain safeguards. Therefore it can be argued that where the State routinely obtains<br \/>\ninformation from Citizens, this information is in relationship to a public activity and will not be<br \/>\nan intrusion on privacy.\n<\/p>\n<p>Therefore we can state that disclosure of information such as assets of a Public servant,\n<\/p>\n<p>-which is routinely collected by the Public authority and routinely provided by the Public<br \/>\nservants,- cannot be construed as an invasion on the privacy of an individual. There will only<br \/>\nbe a few exceptions to this rule which might relate to information which is obtained by a<br \/>\nPublic authority while using extraordinary powers such as in the case of a raid or phone-<br \/>\ntapping. Any other exceptions would have to be specifically justified. Besides the Supreme Court<br \/>\nhas clearly ruled that even people who aspire to be public servants by getting elected have to<br \/>\ndeclare their property details. If people who aspire to be public servants must declare their<br \/>\nproperty details it is only logical that the details of assets of those who are public servants must<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                          Page 2 of 3<\/span><br \/>\n be considered to be disclosable. Hence the exemption under Section 8(1) (j) cannot be applied in<br \/>\nthe instant case.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>In view of this the list of assets of Mr. R. N. Kaushik, Naib Tehsildar will have to be disclosed to<br \/>\nthe Appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>The Appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The PIO is directed to give the information as described above to the<br \/>\nAppellant before 30 June 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>This decision is announced in open chamber.\n<\/p>\n<p>Notice of this decision be given free of cost to the parties.<br \/>\nAny information in compliance with this Order will be provided free of cost as per Section 7(6) of RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                Shailesh Gandhi<br \/>\n                                                                                      Information Commissioner<br \/>\n                                                                                                   03 June 2010<br \/>\n(In any correspondence on this decision, mention the complete decision number.)(SC)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                        Page 3 of 3<\/span>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Information Commission Mr.Surender Singh vs Government Of Nct Of Delhi on 3 June, 2010 CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION Club Building (Near Post Office) Old JNU Campus, New Delhi &#8211; 110067 Tel: +91-11-26161796 Decision No. CIC\/SG\/A\/2010\/000955\/7999 Appeal No. CIC\/SG\/A\/2010\/000955 Relevant Facts emerging from the Appeal: Appellant : Mr. Surender Singh, S\/o Late Sh.
