f) The objective of the RTI act is to provide information to the person who sought such information and when the case involves a serious question whereby the applicant seeks the information to better defend himself in the court of law the information sought becomes more important. Since criminal jurisprudence, it is clear that innocent person should not be convicted and a person is presumed innocent unless found guilty/convicted. Since, it is very important principle of natural justice that against whom a complaint has been made has every right to know its contents so as to defend himself effectively and to prove that the complainant has approached various authorities only with an oblique motive. Thus in the process defaming the undersigned and causing the undersigned mental agony and harassment.

g) That the refusal on the part of the Respondent No. 1 is without any justification and disclosure of the information would have NO effect to any public activity and would not be an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual

“The right to freedom of speech and expression includes the right to receive and impart information. For ensuring the free speech right of the citizens of this country, it is necessary that the citizens have the benefits of plurality of views and a range of opinions on all public issues. A successful democracy posits an ‘aware’ citizenry. Diversity of opinions, views, ideas and ideologies is essential to enable the citizens to arrive at informed judgement on all issues touching them.”

k) Those by refusing the information sought, the respondent will defeat the object of the act i.e. RTI for which it was created. The object of the Act is to provide for setting out the practical regime of the right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. The constitution of India has established democratic republic and democracy requires an informed citizenry and transparency of information which are vital to its functioning and also to contain the corruption and to hold governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed. Therefore, it is expedient to provide for furnishing certain information to citizens who desire to have it.

l) That the appellant has come on the very first opportunity available to him and therefore the information should not be denied to him. More over the appellant does not wants to use the information for any oblique motive but wants to use the information to better defend himself.
