Dear Mr Sidharth,

A decision by CIC on 03rd Aug 2008, allowing the videography at his 
own expenses.

The extract is as under:
... if an applicant wishes to make copies of records/ samples given 
to him for inspection at his own expenses, it is not for the Public 
Authority to object to the form in which the copies are being made, 
provided it is restricted to the information permissible under the 
Act. There is no provision in the Act disallowing Videography...
