flag The CIC ruled advocates can't use RTI for client case info, citing transparency concerns and personal gain risks.

flag The Central Information Commission has ruled that advocates cannot use the RTI Act to obtain case-related information for clients, stating such use undermines transparency and accountability. flag In a recent decision, the CIC dismissed an appeal by an advocate seeking details on a terminated school supply contract, noting the client could have filed the RTI himself. flag The commission emphasized that allowing legal professionals to act as proxies could turn RTI into a tool for personal gain, not public interest. flag It upheld claims that records were destroyed in a 2024 fire and that personal information was properly withheld. flag The appellant was directed to receive copies of his submissions free of charge.
