Personal information under RTI Act
The
Department of Personnel and Training have been impressing upon the public
authorities to disclose maximum information proactively, so that public at
large need not file RTI applications to seek information held by the public
authorities.
In
this regard, it was brought to the notice of the public authorities from time
to time that they may not disclose personal information of an individual as it
does not serve any public interest.
Some
of the stakeholders have objected to disclosure of personal information as it
would put the lives of the information seekers at risk.
Based
on directions from High Court of Kolkata in the matter of Shri Avishek Goenka Vs UOI and in the interest of stakeholders,
the DOPT is inviting comments from the stakeholders on draft OM within 15
days. These comments may be sent to Shri R.K. Girdhar, US (RTI) through
e-mail only at usrti-dopt@nic.in.
