Government of India 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. Sd/( K. G.

"The simple differentiation between exemption of fee under the RTI Act for persons claiming BPL status was that for information under the RTI Act and for information that emanates as a result of the RTI Act, no fee, is to be realised. But if a departmental statute prescribes certain fee for providing information like the copy of the document from the Sub Registrar Office or copy of the BTR register etc., that departmental fee will have to be remitted by the appellant. He could not claim exemption on that ground" .(AP.No.600(4)/2008/SIC)
