+After CBSE v.
+</WRAP>
+===== Why this RTI works =====
+After CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011), the evaluated answer-sheet is 'information' under §2(f). The PIO must furnish a photocopy on payment of the prescribed fee. ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011) clarified that the examining body's fiduciary duty does not bar disclosure to the candidate himself.
+===== Legal framework =====
+  * **RTI Act, 2005** §6, §7(1), §2(f), §8(1)(e) (fiduciary — narrowed by Mistry).
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (2011) 8 SCC 497** — answer-sheets are information; disclosure mandatory.
+  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (2011) 8 SCC 781** — fiduciary defence not against own record.
+  * **RBI v. Jayantilal Mistry (2015) 5 SCC 136** — fiduciary exemption is strict-classical only.
+===== RTI template — copy & file =====
+<code>
+To:
+The Public Information Officer (PIO),
+[Office name + address].
+Subject: RTI under §6 — Exam Answer-Sheet query
+Sir/Madam,
+Under the RTI Act, 2005 read with CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011), kindly provide:

+   [SUBJECT], date of exam [DATE].

+===== Escalation timeline =====
+  * **Day 31** — First Appeal to FAA citing Aditya Bandopadhyay.
+  * **Day 76** — Second Appeal to CIC / SIC.
+  * **Parallel** — board's own answer-sheet inspection scheme; faster but limited window.
+===== Case law anchors =====
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — Foundational — disclosure of evaluated answer-sheet to candidate is mandatory.
+  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011)** — Fiduciary defence narrowed; disclosure to own candidate is not breach.
+  * **RBI v. Jayantilal Mistry (SC, 2015)** — §8(1)(e) confined to strict classical fiduciary.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Asking under §8(1)(e) language — counter-productive; you are entitled.
+  * Filing to school instead of conducting board.
+  * Forgetting Roll No. — body cannot trace.
+===== Frequently asked questions =====
+==== Will the board redact evaluator marks? ====
+No — full marks page must be supplied. Evaluator code may be redacted under §8(1)(g).
+==== Can I see other students' answer-sheets? ====
+No — only your own.
