0 adil85 4 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Decision of the Supreme Court of India in the case Dev Dutt versus Union of India and others decided on 13th of May 2008 has laid the issue to rest making it mandatory to supply the copy of the ACR an employee except in military services. I suggest to end further discussion on this subject. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 nk agarwal 34 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Dear Mr. Anoop, The selection or promotion process necessarily is not the same as you have mentioned. It may be valid for a particular department(s), nevertheless the (1)disclosure of ACRs and (2) disclosure of selection process/minutes are two different and independent issues. The thread under reference is confined to disclosure of ACRs only. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 mksaha 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I have two doubts primarily: 1.Is it not a fact that With the introduction of RTI act 2005, the official secret act has become redundant and therefore summerily defunct. if not, do they not contradict each other. Is there any circular to clarify this issue?. 2. Several reports including that from Supreme court verdict on Dev Dutt vs. Supreme Court of India suggests that ACR should be disclosed to the Govt. Servants whereas there are equal no. of cases where the Information commission has turned down the appeal for disclosure quoting Official secrets act. Therefore is it left to the discretion of the PIO to disclose the ACR or is there a Govt Order to make it mandatory for the PIO to disclose the ACR as long as the applicant asks for his own ACR?

0 Super Moderator Popular Post karira 5,896 Posted January 24, 2010 Super Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2010 1. Please read Sec 22 of the RTI Act (Right to Information Act 2005). In the Judgment related to WP© 288/2009 pronounced on 02.09.2009 by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi (Single Judge order related to Asset Declaration by Judges), the learned Judge observed: “So far as the argument that the 1997 Resolution had imposed a confidentiality obligation on the CJI to ensure non-disclosure of the asset declarations, is concerned, the court is of opinion that with the advent of the Act, and the provision in Section 22 which overrides all other laws, etc. (even overriding the Official Secrets Act) the argument about such a confidentiality condition is on a weak foundation. The mere marking of a document, as "confidential", in this case, does not undermine the overbearing nature of Section 22. Concededly, the confidentiality clause (in the 1997 Resolution) operated, and many might have bona fide believed that it would ensure immunity from access. Yet the advent of the Act changed all that; all classes of information became its subject matter.” 2. Regarding disclosure of ACR's, please see post #15 above. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
