General Manager on video conference from NIC-Mangalore<br \/>\n               Studio;\n<\/p>\n<p>        The PIO has refused to give the information on all the queries claiming exemption under<br \/>\nSection 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act. As far as the first 03 queries are concerned these seek information<br \/>\nabout the conditions of employment of a particular employee. The Commission does not agree that this<br \/>\ninformation could be considered an invasion on the privacy of an individual.\n<\/p>\n<p>Under 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 to any<br \/>\npublic activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual<br \/>\nunless the Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer or the appellate<br \/>\nauthority, as the case may be, is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the disclosure of such<br \/>\ninformation:&#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 common<br \/>\nlanguage we would ascribe the adjective &#8216;personal&#8217; to an attribute which applies to an individual and<br \/>\nnot to an Institution or a Corporate. From this it flows that &#8216;personal&#8217; cannot be related to Institutions,<br \/>\norganisations or corporates. Hence Section 8 (1) (j) cannot be applied when the information concerns<br \/>\ninstitutions, organisations or corporates.\n<\/p>\n<p>The phrase &#8216;disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest&#8217; means that the<br \/>\ninformation must have been given in the course of a Public activity.<br \/>\nVarious Public authorities in performing their functions routinely ask for &#8216;personal&#8217; information from<br \/>\nCitizens, and this is clearly a public activity. When a person applies for a job, or gives information<br \/>\nabout himself to a Public authority as an employee, or asks for a permission, licence or authorisation,<br \/>\nall these are public activities. Also when a Citizen provides information in discharge of a statutory<br \/>\nobligation this too is 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 the<br \/>\nprivacy of a Citizen. In those circumstances special provisions of the law apply;- usually with certain<br \/>\nsafeguards. Therefore where the State routinely obtains information from Citizens, this information is<br \/>\nin relationship to a public activity and will not be an intrusion on privacy.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Certain human rights such as liberty, freedom of expression or right to life are universal and<br \/>\ntherefore would apply uniformly to all human beings worldwide. However, the concept of &#8216;privacy&#8217; is a<br \/>\ncultural notion, related to social norms, and different societies would look at these differently.<br \/>\nTherefore referring to the UK Data protection act or the laws of other countries to define &#8216;privacy&#8217;<br \/>\ncannot be considered a valid exercise to constrain the Citizen&#8217;s fundamental Right to Information in<br \/>\nIndia. Parliament has not codified the right to privacy so far, hence in balancing the Right to<br \/>\nInformation of Citizens and the individual&#8217;s Right to Privacy the Citizen&#8217;s Right to Information would<br \/>\nbe given greater weightage. The Supreme of India has ruled that Citizens have a right to know about<br \/>\ncharges against candidates for elections as well as details of their assets, since they desire to offer<br \/>\nthemselves for public service. It is obvious then that those who are public servants cannot claim<br \/>\nexemption from disclosure of charges against them or details of their assets. Given our dismal record<br \/>\nof misgovernance and rampant corruption which colludes to deny Citizens their essential rights and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                                                Page 2 of 3<\/span><br \/>\n dignity, it is in the fitness of things that the Citizen&#8217;s Right to Information is given greater primacy<br \/>\nwith regard to privacy.\n<\/p>\n<p>Therefore we can state that disclosure of information such as assets of a Public servant, -which is<br \/>\nroutinely collected by the Public authority and routinely provided by the Public servants,- cannot be<br \/>\nconstrued as an invasion on the privacy of an individual. There will only be a few exceptions to this<br \/>\nrule which might relate to information which is obtained by a Public authority while using<br \/>\nextraordinary powers such as in the case of a raid or phone tapping.\n<\/p>\n<p>In view of the above the commission does not agree with the PIO&#8217;s contention that queries (a), (b) &amp;\n<\/p>\n<p>(c) are exempted under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>Decision:\n<\/p>\n<p>The Appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The PIO is directed to provide the information on queries (a), (b) &amp; (c) to the<br \/>\nAppellant before 20 September 2011.\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.\n<\/p>\n<p>Any 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                                                                                                 05 September 2011<br \/>\n(In any correspondence on this decision, mention the complete decision number.
