RTI can’t be Denied on the Ground that Information sought is Irrelevant

Judgement by Delhi High Court

Case name: Adesh Kumar v. Union of India (Delhi High Court, 2014)

Judgement:

..the question whether the information sought by the petitioner is relevant or necessary is not relevant or germane in the context of the Act; a citizen has a right to information by virtue of Section 3 of the Act and the same is not conditional on the information being relevant.
