നൽകുന്ന 'വിവരം' ദുരുപയോഗിച്ചേക്കാമെന്ന വാദത്തിൽ വിവര ലഭ്യത നിഷേധിക്കാനാവില്ല

നൽകുന്ന 'വിവരം' ദുരുപയോഗിച്ചേക്കാമെന്ന വാദത്തിൽ വിവര ലഭ്യത നിഷേധിക്കാനാവില്ല.

An Important judgment on RTI-which appears to have gone unnoticed:

Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court has delivered a judgment in CWP-4665-2011, on 27.4.2015 holding that even if the applicant has an ulterior motive in seeking information, it can not be denied to him if otherwise such information is permissible to be disclosed, and is not covered under any of exemptions.An applicant with noblest motives can also be denied information, which is otherwise not permissible to be disclosed.

Now in the face of this judgment, any allegation against the applicant that he would misuse the information, or that he is having ulterior motive against the  said "third party",would not work.
