Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Right to Information Act, 2005, specifically Section 8(1)(g), which allows withholding information that could compromise the integrity of the selection process. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to deny disclosure of the Interview Board members' identities, emphasizing the need to maintain the confidentiality of the selection process to protect its authenticity and prevent invasion of privacy. The Court concluded that the Commission acted within its rights under the Act, affirming the dismissal of the writ petition.
