Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the information sought by the respondent under Section 6 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, regarding the transfer and posting of clerical staff in the appellant-Bank was not disclosable under Section 8(1)(j) of the Act, as it pertained to personal information without public interest. The Court set aside the High Court's order affirming the Central Information Commission's directive to disclose the information, thereby dismissing the application made by the respondent. The judgment relied on precedents established in Girish Ramchandra Deshpande vs. Central Information Commissioner and R.K. Jain vs. Union of India.
