Headnote | Right to Information Act, 2005 – ss. 3, 6, 8, 9 and 11 – Writ petition u/Art. 226 of Constitution – Filed by unsuccessful candidates of the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination – Seeking direction to Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to disclose the details of marks (raw and scaled) awarded to them in the exam – Also sought information in the form of cut-off marks for every subject, scaling methodology, model answers, and complete result of all the candidates – Single Judge of High Court directed UPSC to provide the sought information – View of Single Judge affirmed by Division Bench – On appeal, held: Weighing the need for transparency and accountability on the one hand and requirement of optimum use of fiscal resources and confidentiality of sensitive information on the other, it is to be held that the information sought with regard to marks in Civil Services Exam cannot be directed to be furnished mechanically – Furnishing raw marks will cause problems, which will not be in public interest – However, if a case is made out where the Court finds that public interest requires furnishing of information, the Court is certainly entitled to so require in a given fact situation – If rules or practice so require, certainly such rule or practice can be enforced – In the present case, direction has been issued without considering these parameters – The appeals and Special Leave Petitions are disposed of. |
