DECISION
11. We feel that the word "fiduciary relationship" appearing in
Section 8(1)(e) has to be read with the objectives of the Act and must
be interpreted taking into account what has been spelt out in the
preamble of the Act. Sensitivity of the information and necessity to
preserve confidentiality should, therefore, be treated as the
determining factors for determining the ambit and scope of the term
Section 8(1) (e). If read in the context of the Preamble of the Act
this will, therefore, justify exemption from disclosure claimed by the
CPIO in the instant case.
