    Question

    An information seeker asks for a copy of the inspection

    report of a dam conducted by the Central Water Commission. The PIO can legitimately deny this information if:
    A The report is more than 500 pages long. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The report contains technical jargon that a layperson cannot understand. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Its disclosure would adversely affect the public safety and security of the structure. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The report is already being reviewed by a parliamentary committee. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 8(1)(a) of the RTI Act exempts information, the disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty, integrity, security, strategic, scientific, or economic interests of the State. If disclosing the dam's vulnerabilities could endanger public safety, it is a valid ground for denial.
