The Department of Personnel and Training have been
impressing upon the public authorities to disclose maximum information
proactively, so that public at large need not file RTI applications to seek
information held by the public authorities.
In this regard, it was brought to the notice of the
public authorities from time to time that they may not disclose personal
information of an individual as it does not serve any public interest.
Some of the stakeholders have objected to disclosure
of personal information as it would put the lives of the information seekers at
risk.
Based on directions from High Court of Kolkata in
the matter of Shri Avishek Goenka Vs UOI and in the
interest of stakeholders, the DOPT is inviting comments from the stakeholders
on draft OM within 15 days. These comments may be sent to Shri R.K.
Girdhar, US (RTI) through e-mail only at usrti-dopt@nic.in.
