Here is an interesting decision by the CIC. After a long time we have a solid decision concerning Section 4(1)(c). We had several from the Goa SIC earlier. In this decision of Gita Dewan Verma C/s PMO who had requested for "copy of the minutes of the meeting referred to and, in terms of S.4 (1) (c) of RTI Act, the following relevant facts of the decision announced". Wajahat clearly ruled "since her initial request is related to disclosure /s 4(1) ( c), we find that this specific issue remains unaddressed. There is no doubt that the constitution of this Committee together with the reasons for setting it up fall squarely within the mandate of sec. 4(1)(b) & 4(1)(c)." and directed the respondents to upload the information on their site.
The commission also advised the media advisor of PMO "under the authority vested in this Commission by Sec 25 sub-section (5), to ensure better coordination in press release, the instrument of sharing information with the public, with the decision making Sections of the Prime Minister’s Office to ensure authenticity of release." I would recommend that you check out the entire six page decision available at the following link http://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders/WB-16012009-01.pdf Manoj Pai
