The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that information related to an employee’s ACRs cannot be denied under the RTI Act only on privacy grounds. It said fairness and transparency require that such records should normally be disclosed to the concerned person.
The Delhi High Court held that the PM CARES Fund does not lose its right to privacy under the RTI Act merely because it is managed or controlled by the government. The Court clarified that third-party privacy protections under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act apply equally to public and private entities.
