In R.N. Kapur v. CPIO, Sarva Haryana Gramin Bank, the appellant requested for the following details under the RTI Act:
i. Whether enquiry has been initiated on the said complaint,ii. Copy of order appointing an enquiry officer,
iii. Details of the report submitted by the enquiry officer.
The CPIO contended that the statements by the customers and villagers consisted of personal information relating to a third party and had hence been accordingly denied under S. 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.
On appeal, the Commission relied on the Supreme Court’s judgment in Girish Ramchandra Deshpande v. CIC, where the Court held that details recording proceedings of disciplinary enquiries were personal information and outside the ambit of the RTI Act.
