Disclosure of Candidate Marks - The courts have emphasized that under RTI, marks assigned to individual candidates and cut-off marks should generally be disclosed to promote transparency. For example, the Supreme Court directed UPSC to disclose such information, highlighting the public interest involved UNION PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION VS CENTRAN INFORMATION COMMISSION - Delhi.
-
Protection of Candidate Privacy - While transparency is important, certain information, such as the identity of examiners or sensitive details that may endanger safety, are protected from disclosure under RTI. For instance, examiners' personal details are not disclosed to prevent endangerment Central Board of Secondary Education VS Aditya Bandopadhyay - Orissa.
-
Non-Disclosability of Individual Candidate Marks During Certain Stages - The RTI Act permits withholding individual candidate marks until the completion of the entire selection process to prevent undue influence or unfair advantages. Courts have upheld that such information can be withheld during ongoing evaluations or viva voce stages Vidya Devarajan VS Secretary, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission - Madras.
-
Candidate Confidentiality and Fairness - The principle that marks of unsuccessful candidates or those in reserved categories are not to be disclosed unless authorized is upheld to maintain fairness and prevent misinterpretation or misuse of information Ramkandey Mishra, son of Shree Gopal Jee Mishra VS State of Jharkhand - Jharkhand, DEEPENDRA KUMAR SINGH VS STATE OF U. P. - Allahabad.
-
Legal Precedents and Principles - Courts have clarified that while transparency is mandated, the disclosure of individual candidate marks is subject to the stage of the selection process and privacy considerations. Disclosing marks prematurely or without proper authorization may violate RTI provisions or affect the integrity of the process Uttam Kumar Chakraborty VS State of Assam - Gauhati.
Analysis and Conclusion:
Under RTI, the disclosure of individual candidate marks is permissible primarily after the completion of the entire selection process to ensure transparency and public interest. During ongoing evaluations, such as viva voce or re-evaluation stages, these marks are protected from disclosure to maintain fairness and integrity. The courts have consistently balanced transparency with privacy and security concerns, emphasizing that marks of one candidate cannot be disclosed to others during the process. Therefore, a candidate's marks cannot be disclosed to another candidate under RTI during ongoing or incomplete selection processes.
