Girish Ramchandra Deshpande vs Cen.Information Commr.& Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the Central Information Commission's denial of information regarding an employee's personal matters under Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 was justified, as such information was deemed personal and not related to public interest. The Court emphasized that the right to privacy is a fundamental right and that personal information should not be disclosed unless it serves a larger public interest. The petition was dismissed, affirming the CIC's decision.
