Madhya Pradesh High Court: Employees Entitled To Access Their ACRs Under RTI

Madhya Pradesh High Court: Employees Entitled To Access Their ACRs Under RTI Madhya Pradesh High Court: Employees Entitled To Access Their ACRs Under RTI ACR Disclosure Cannot Be Denied on Privacy Grounds, Rules Madhya Pradesh High Court The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently reiterated that information relating to an employee’s Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) cannot be withheld under the Right to Information Act merely by invoking privacy concerns, holding that such records must ordinarily be disclosed to the concerned individual in the interest of fairness and transparency in public administration. Deciding a writ petition filed by the State of Madhya Pradesh, Justice Deepak Khot upheld an order of the State Information Commission directing disclosure of information sought by an applicant regarding his own ACRs.

It noted that the applicant had sought access to his own ACRs, and that the legal position on disclosure of such records had been clearly settled by the Supreme Court in Dev Dutt v. Relying on this precedent, the Court emphasized that transparency in service matters is a necessary facet of Article 14 of the…
