Disclosure vs confidentiality: RTI ka balance
Exam ke har paper ke marks public karna fairness hai ya privacy ka ullanghan?
Socho pehle… phir dekho jawab
Dono paksh mein dum hai. CIC ne UPSC ko safal candidates ke paper-waar marks phir chhapne ki sifarish ki, jo CSE 2017 tak chhapte the. Par Supreme Court ne 2018 mein Civil Services answer scripts dikhane ka order dene se mana bhi kiya tha. Kanoon ek balance dhoondta hai.
RTI Act, 2005 mein disclosure rule hai, secrecy exception. Section 8(1) chhoot deta hai — jaise fiduciary relationship mein rakhi soochna (clause e) aur aisi niji jaankari jiska public kaam se lena-dena na ho (clause j). Section 8(2): agar public interest nuksaan se bada ho, toh chhoot wali soochna bhi di ja sakti hai. Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ne 8(1)(j) ko badal kar niji jaankari ki chhoot aur chaudi kar di hai.
Precedents: CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (2011) — jaanchi hui answer book 'information' hai, aur exam body use fiduciary capacity mein nahi rakhti. UPSC v. Angesh Kumar (2018) — bina bade public interest ke answer scripts aur raw marks dikhane ka order nahi. Farak samjho: individual evaluation vs statistical transparency.
Trade-off: paper-waar data se pata chal sakta hai ki kya kuch optional subjects mein systematically zyada number aate hain — yeh fairness ka sawaal hai. Doosri taraf, detailed data se 'scoring optional' ki coaching daud aur litigation badh sakte hain. Beech ka raasta: anonymised, subject-wise statistics — public interest bhi, kisi ki pehchaan bhi nahi. Aur dhyaan do: CIC ka yeh view Section 25(5) ke tehat 'recommendation' hai, order nahi.
Ghar pe try karo
Class mein chhota debate karo: 'Board exam mein har school ke subject-waar average marks public hone chahiye?' Ek team fairness ke paksh mein, ek privacy ke. Ant mein milke ek anonymised formula banao jo dono ko santusht kare.
Wow!
Do daftar, dono sach bol rahe the, phir bhi naagrik ko jawab nahi mila: UPSC ne kaha marks DoPT ke paas jaate hain, DoPT ne kaha data sirf UPSC ke paas hai.
