RTI covers employee info: IC-Ashish Tripathi


A public body cannot refuse information concerning appointment of employees under the RTI Act on the pretext that it is personal, third party information which is exempt under the RTI Act, the Central Information Commission has held. 

Information Commissioner Sushma Singh said that all the information on appointments made by public authorities would be covered under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. The transparency panel was hearing an appeal filed by Sunil Chhabra against the decision of Bharat Cooking Coal Ltd (BCCL), denying him information regarding the appointment of one Pujari Mandal.

“The Commission does not agree with the stand taken by the respondent that the information relating to appointments made by the public authorities is personal third party information of anybody,” it said.
