Inspection/documents for process of setting question papers
In our orgaination a Limited Departmental Competitive Examination was held last month whose result is yet to be declared an employee from our organistion has requested to 1. inspect/get documents of the file in which process of setting question papers was done. 2. Allow me to inspect the file in which process of filling up the post was done.

My question is whether we can allow him inspection of the file and after inspection can we provide him documents in both the cases. if yes under which rule and if no under which rule.

Nobody is entitled to call for inspection of them before the publication of the results.

If the request is under Right to Information Act by due deposit of the application fee, he can inspect the file, but you may inform him that he may send a fresh request after the result is declared. But, being a Government Department and before any reply is given, it may however be advisable to have the legal opinion from the Ministry of Law if the application is under RTI, as any delay or denial of information may result in to penalty on the Public Information Officer (PIO).

However, if the application does not fall within the purview of the RTI, you can give straight reply that since the matter is confidential and the result is not yet declared the inspection cannot be allowed.

About the 2nd issue of process of filling up the post, the process of filling up of the post would probably start only after declaration of result. So, you can reply accordingly that the process has not yet been started.
