    Question

    An RTI applicant seeks the total number of disciplinary

    proceedings initiated against Group 'A' officers in a Ministry in the last five years. The Public Information Officer (PIO) is likely to:
    A Provide the information as it is a simple numerical figure. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Deny the information under Section 8(1)(g) as it would endanger the physical safety of the officers. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Deny the information under Section 8(1)(j) as it is personal information. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Provide the information as it is not related to any specific individual. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 8(1)(j) exempts personal information. However, this query asks for aggregated, anonymized statistical data. Since it does not seek details about identifiable individuals, it does not qualify as a personal information exemption and should be provided to promote transparency in administration.
