Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training
North Block, New Delhi
Dated, the 1st June, 2009
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Decision dated 3.4.2008 of the High Court of Bombay at Goa
in Writ Petition No.419 of 2007 in the case of Dr. Celsa Pinto
Vs Goa State Information Commission regarding information
under the Right to Information Act, 2005.
******
The undersigned is directed to say that the High Court of Bombay at Goa in
the above referred case has held on 3.4.2008 that the term “information” as defined
in the Right to Information Act does not include answers to the questions like ‘why’.
The relevant part of the judgement is reproduced below:
“The definition of information cannot include within its fold answers to the
question “why” which would be same thing as asking the reason for a justification for a
particular thing. The public information authorities cannot expect to communicate to
the citizen the reason why a certain thing was done or not done in the sense of
justification because the citizen makes a requisition about information. Justifications
are matter within the domain of adjudicating authorities and cannot properly be
classified as information”.
2. This may be brought to the notice of all concerned.
