2014 (3) TMI 475 - PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURTDenial of information under RTI Act sought as regards one Bhupinder Singh son of Mewa Singh and in respect of all such other employees of SGPC who have so far been suspended, the grounds of suspension, the details of reinstatement and the punishments awarded to such employees. - Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), Amritsar. - Held that:- the petitioner had failed to establish any public interest which would merit the disclosure of the information sought. To the contrary, the State Information Commission has specifically noticed in the impugned orders dated 17-4-2013 that the petitioner had been called upon to disclose the public interest involved during the course of hearing to which he had responded that he wants to use the information sought in a Court case which is to be filed by him to challenge his suspension order. Clearly, the information sought by the petitioner was towards furtherance of a personal grievance and not in relation to any public interest. - writ petition dismissed.
