Reasons For Inclusion Of Name In CBI's List Of 'Undesirable Contact Men' Prima Facie Not Exempt From RTI Act: Delhi High Court

Delhi High Court observed that the publication of an individual's name in CBI's list prima facie violates human rights and Section 24(1) of the RTI Act. The court expressed concern over the potential damage to reputation and privacy caused by publicly disclosing names in a CBI list, especially before any conviction. The court also noted the restrictions on disclosing information that could impede investigation under the Right to Information Act. This observation underscores the importance of balancing transparency with the protection of individual rights and the integrity of ongoing investigations.
