2011 (12) TMI 23 - DELHI HIGH COURTDisclosure of 'third party' information- Held that:- The recordings made in the note sheets or correspondence file constitute an integral part of the ACR record of the officer. It cannot be said such information is different and distinct from the Annual Confidential Report. Such information is personal to such officers. Vis-à-vis a person who is not an employee of the Government of India and is seeking such information as a member of the public, such information has to be viewed as constituting “third party information”. Clearly, information relating to a third party would also be third party information within the meaning of Section 11(1) of the RTI Act. Accordingly, the matter is remanded back to the CIC for considering the issue whether, in the larger public interest, the information sought by the petitioner could be disclosed. If the CIC comes to a conclusion that larger public interest justifies the disclosure of the information sought by the petitioner, the CIC would follow the procedure prescribed in Section 11 of the Act.
