Subject : Seeking information under right to information act, 2005

Sir,

The applicant seeks the following information from you:

As per the latest judgement of the Hon'ble Supereme Court in Central Board of Secondary Education & Anr. Vs. Aditya Bandopadhyay & Ors. dated 9-08-2011 the court has held that-

The definition of `information' in section 2(f) of the RTI Act refers to

any material in any form which includes records, documents, opinions,

papers among several other enumerated items. The term `record' is defined

in section 2(i) of the said Act as including any document, manuscript or file

among others. When a candidate participates in an examination and writes

his answers in an answer-book and submits it to the examining body for

evaluation and declaration of the result, the answer-book is a document or

record. When the answer-book is evaluated by an examiner appointed by the

examining body, the evaluated answer-book becomes a record containing

the `opinion' of the examiner. Therefore the evaluated answer-book is also

an `information' under the RTI Act.

The court further held that-

The examining bodies contend that the evaluated answer-books are

exempted from disclosure under section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act, as they are

`information' held in its fiduciary relationship. They fairly conceded that

evaluated answer-books will not fall under any other exemptions in sub-

section (1) of section 8. Every examinee will have the right to access his

evaluated answer-books, by either inspecting them or take certified copies

thereof

In view of the above judgement i (Name) (Enroll No.) of (college name) wish to seek the the certified copies of my evaluated anshersheets for the exams conducted in (month/year).

Thank you
