Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision regarding the denial of information under Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, which protects personal information that does not pertain to public interest. The Court emphasized that the disclosure of such information could lead to an unwarranted invasion of privacy. The matter was remitted back to the Chief Information Commissioner for reconsideration, ensuring adherence to the procedural requirements of the RTI Act.
