Outcome
Public recruitment — post-wise vacancy, selection rounds, final list — must be disclosed proactively under §4.
Ratio decidendi
Public-sector recruitment — UPSC, SSC, State PSC, PSU — carries a strong public-interest disclosure expectation. Vacancy position, written/interview stages, category-wise final list and waiting list are §4(1)(b) material. Individual candidate scores fall under §8(1)(g)-adjacent privacy considerations.
