Order on Appeal No. E144-08/21 Sajid Mehmood Janjua Vs Allama Iqbal Open University

This commission maintains that both the letter and spirit of the Right of Access to Information Act 2017 dictate the disclosure of certified copies of the experience of Mr Raja Umar Younas and Mr Kaleem Siddiqui and list of candidates who were short-listed and declared ineligible for the post of Registrar. The public interest dictates those educational degrees of short-listed/selected candidates for government posts, their CVs, marks obtained during the recruitment process, remarks of the members of the selection committee during the interview cannot be withheld on the grounds of privacy as it this information is critical to determine the level of transparency and fairness adopted in the recruitment process. Therefore, none of the provisions of this Act, including Section 7 (g) can be attracted to withhold the disclosure of the requested information. The personal/private information means CNIC details, residential addresses, telephone numbers, bank accounts/financial details and health conditions.
