This commission is of the view that once final decision has been taken, all records on the file is public, unless any record, or, part of the record attracts any of the exemption clauses mentioned in Section 7 and Section 16 of the Right of Access to Information Act, 2017 which does not seem to be the case in the instant Appeal.
