Writ petition dismissed; RTI application failed to request broad tax evasion outcome, orders deemed permissible and upheld.
The HC dismissed the writ petition seeking to quash orders under Annexures-4, 5, and 6 and to disclose the outcome of a tax evasion petition under Annexure-2. The Court determined the petitioner's application under the RTI Act did not request the broad outcome of the tax evasion petition. The information sought was deemed impermissible under the Act, and the Public Information Officer's rejection was upheld by appellate authorities. Consequently, the Court found no illegality in the impugned orders, leading to the dismissal of the writ petition.
Issues involved: Writ petition to quash orders under Annexures-4, 5, and 6 and seek disclosure of outcome of tax evasion petition under Annexure-2.
Summary: The petitioner filed a writ petition seeking to quash orders under Annexures-4, 5, and 6 and to obtain the broad outcome of a tax evasion petition filed under Annexure-2. The petitioner sought information under the Right to Information Act, which was not provided, leading to the present petition. The Revenue contended that disclosing the broad outcome of the proceeding was contrary to the Right to Information Act. The petitioner's application under the Act requested specific information related to the tax evasion petition against certain individuals. The Court found that the petitioner's application did not seek disclosure of the broad outcome of the tax evasion petition as claimed, and the information requested was not permissible under the Act. Consequently, the Public Information Officer rejected the claim, which was upheld by the appellate authorities. As the petitioner's prayer for the broad outcome was not indicated in the application, the Court held that no illegality was committed by the authority in passing the impugned orders under Annexures-4, 5, and 6. Therefore, the writ petition was dismissed.
