I feel Mr Sarabjit has given very strange logic to justify refusal of list of allottees with their addresses by IC, Ms Balaubramaniam. Sec 4(1)(d) no where says that only names of allottee and seial no of applications would be given. In fact, sec 4(1)(b)(xiii) clearly says that full particulars of recepients of concessions, permits or authorisations granted by a body shall be given. Sec 8 & 11 do not prohibit giving of this info at all. This info does not fall in the category of info dealt with in Sec 8 & 11. Besides, DSIDC had not published any info about the allottees at all under sec 4 on their website and hence I had made this reqest for info. I am with Rakesh and such attitude on the part of ICs certaily needs to be nipped in the bud. Thanks & best wishes, sincerely, mksinghal

The reasons we disagree are due to our Legal dictionaries - he prefers "Blacks" whereas I use Indian ones :-) You are corrected that information sought by Mr Singhal ought to be disclosed u/s 4. In my view it attracts 4(1)(d) disclosure of only the following - 1) Name of allottee 2) Serial No.of Application form. Nothing else personal to the succesful allottee is liable to be disclosed. Once an information is published by a PA proactively u/s 4, there is no obligation for a PIO to disclose it. Please understand what I am saying here very carefully !!! There are many CIC decisions on this which are substantially correct. At best a PIO can be expected to respond to a request for such information on a section 6 request by guiding the applicant to the website or other section 4 disclosure - although he is not obliged to.
