Need Help in RTI

Hi All,

Can we ask the officer incharge in which certain employe is working

1) Regarding the details of  the Govt Employe "Number of  Days leaves taken in the past 2 years

2) On which days the leave taken along with copies of leave letters

3) Also the statements showing incom tax paid by the employe Year wise for last 3 years.

Through  RTI

I need these details to use in a criminal case Filed by that Govt Employe

Yes this info can be asked if

this is not prohibited u/s 8 of RTI Act

I suppose they will take the exemption of S8(h) of RTI Act

but any info in public domain of public servant with his own consent  should not be denied

The Public information officer is bound to furnish the informations asked for and they are not at all fall under the prohibited items.

 Leave applications, as far as I know, is not kept as a permanent record in government offices. Therefore, availability of information is doubtful. But if is earned leave or leave on medical grounds, entry is made in the service book and that can be culled. Casual leave out of question. You can move the application but keep doubt in mind.

Information on income tax is out of question as it is third party information and cannot be parted. We should know that the offender would not give his consent to give his income tax return details.

Thanks To All

any information can be seeked from any government department except barred by official secret act.

 Official Secrets Act is no bar in seeking information. Read Section 8 of the RTI Act which also lays down:

Notwithstanding anything in the Official Secrets Act, 1923 nor any of the exemptions permissible in accordance with sub-section (1), a public authority may allow access to information, if public interest in disclosure outweighs the harm to the protected interests.

barred by sec 8 (3) subject to central governments decision. and interst should be public interest not an individual one.

 Are you seeking information that is more than 20 years old? Central Government has no role to play. Section 8(3) reads:
