The Applicant filed an RTI application on 12.08.2008 with the CPIO, CPV<br \/>\n      Division, MEA. She requested for the following information with regard to Mr.<br \/>\n      Suhas Chakma holding Passport No.B0263230.<br \/>\n      Copies of all the documents submitted by Mr. Suhas Chakma at the time of<br \/>\n      applying for all his passports so far, starting from the first passport booklet<br \/>\n      applied for, upto the most recent one including:\n<\/p>\n<pre>      a)     Proof of date of birth\n      b)     Citizenship document, if any.\n<\/pre>\n<p>      The CPIO, RPO, New Delhi replied on 15.9.08 denying the information u\/s<br \/>\n      8(1) (j) of the RTI Act, 2005 since the information related to &#8220;third-party<br \/>\n      information&#8221;.   The Appellate Authority, in response to Applicant&#8217;s appeal<br \/>\n      which reached his office on 6.10.08 replied on 14.10.08 upholding the<br \/>\n      decision of the CPIO.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    The applicant filed a second appeal on 19.12.2008 before the CIC.       In her<br \/>\n      appeal she stated that Mr. Chakma is not known to have any birth certificate.<br \/>\n      Nor is he known to have applied for a Citizenship certificate. No proof exists<br \/>\n      of his having Indian nationality either by birth or by naturalization.<br \/>\n      Meanwhile, he avails of all the benefits of Indian citizenship such as a<br \/>\n      passport, ration card and voting rights and even receives additional benefits<br \/>\n      through an ST certificate. In his submissions, the Appellant placed reliance on<br \/>\n      the CIC Decision No.CIC\/OK\/A\/2007\/01079 dated 13.11.2007 submitted<br \/>\n      alongwith her appeal which directs disclosure of ST certificate and the<br \/>\n      application form submitted by Mr. Chakma to JNU at the time of his admission<br \/>\n      and records stating his place of birth and nationality on the reasoning that<br \/>\n      the information was (i) in the public domain, (ii) there were instances of<br \/>\n      people applying for admission\/employment\/positions on the basis of forged<br \/>\n           and false documents. It was therefore in the interests of transparency and<br \/>\n          also to put a restraint on the irregularities that this information must be<br \/>\n          disclosed. The Appellant further relied on a catena of judgments of CIC on<br \/>\n          the issue of whether public interest outweighs privacy of an individual vis a<br \/>\n          vis personal information. Among the decisions cited by the Appellant, in<br \/>\n          CIC\/AT\/A\/2006\/00317 dated 10.10.2006 it was held that &#8220;&#8230;.a matter cannot<br \/>\n          be    personal    simply    because   it   involves   a   single   individual..&#8221;    ;    in<br \/>\n          CIC\/OK\/C\/2006\/00010          dated    30.08.2006;     CIC\/AT\/A\/2007\/00009          dated<br \/>\n          02.03.2007       and   in   CIC\/MA\/A\/2006\/00258       dated   25.07.2006     also       the<br \/>\n          emphasis was clearly on disclosure of any information which was in the larger<br \/>\n          public interest. The Appellant in her appeal has further pointed out that the<br \/>\n          RTI application was filed pursuant to a complaint registered against the third<br \/>\n          party, Mr. Suhas Chakma, with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office on<br \/>\n          the grounds that despite being a Bangladeshi national he had registered<br \/>\n          himself as an Indian citizen through fabricated documents and certificates.<br \/>\n          Three judgments reflecting the concern of even the Delhi High Court on the<br \/>\n          issue of detection deportation of illegal migrants from Bangladesh have also<br \/>\n          been cited substantiating the Appellant&#8217;s submissions on larger public<br \/>\n          interest.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.        The Bench of Mrs. Annapurna Dixit, Information Commissioner, scheduled the<br \/>\n          hearing on March 27, 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.        Mr. V. Mahalingam, RPO, Delhi; Mr. P Roychaudhuri, Advocate representing<br \/>\n          MEA, CPV Division and Jimmy Simon, UDC represented the Public Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.        The Applicant K. Sharda in person alongwith Sarim Naved, Advocate and Mr.<br \/>\n          R Nair were present during the hearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision<\/p>\n<p>     6.        During the hearing and after much debating on the issue as to whether<br \/>\n               the information pertaining to a third party can be divulged in the larger<br \/>\n               public interest, it was agreed by the parties that public interest does<br \/>\n               predominate over any individual interest and dispute. In view of the facts<br \/>\n               and circumstances of this case, the gravity of the issue of illegal<br \/>\n               immigrants is of rising concern, more so in view of the utmost priority of<br \/>\n           the national safety and security of the citizenry.    Hence the need for<br \/>\n          transparency in the functioning and mechanism of the MEA is also<br \/>\n          necessitated. Accordingly, it was agreed by the parties present, that the<br \/>\n          Appellant herein shall file an appropriate complaint before the Respondent<br \/>\n          Public Authority viz. MEA within a period of 10 working days without<br \/>\n          waiting for the orders of the Commission. The CPIO is directed to forward<br \/>\n          a copy of this order to the concerned DSP and to take expeditious action<br \/>\n          in diligently following up the said complaint with the police authorities<br \/>\n          seeking necessary information as sought by the Appellant.      The CPIO is<br \/>\n          directed to furnish the information availed by the police authorities to the<br \/>\n          Appellant satisfying the Appellant on the aspect as to whether the<br \/>\n          Passport obtained by the Third Party viz. Mr. Suhas Chakma, was on the<br \/>\n          basis of forged and fabricated documents or not. The CPIO is furthermore<br \/>\n          directed to furnish an Inquiry Report with the Commission within a period<br \/>\n          of three months from the date of receipt of this Order.\n<\/p>\n<p>   7.     The appeal is accordingly disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                   (Annapurna Dixit)<br \/>\n                                                           Information Commissioner<br \/>\nAuthenticated true copy:\n<\/p>\n<p>(K.G.Nair)<br \/>\nDesignated Officer<br \/>\n Cc:\n<\/p>\n<p>1.
