[karira]

The CIC has ruled that expenses incurred on marriage (by a third party) have to be disclosed under RTI so as top give equal opportunity to all before the court of law:

Therefore on the ratio given in the
case of Shri Manoj Saini No. CIC/LS/A/2010/001044*DS
dated 24 March 2011, Commission directs the
respondent CPIO to, after taking action under the
provisions of section 10 of the RTI Act disclose all
expenditure on account of marriage including gifts,
presents etc as reflected in the balance sheet of the
third*party for the financial year 1995 – 96 (as the
marriage was on 26 January 1996) after severing other
portions of the income tax returns, provide
information to the appellant within three weeks of
receipt of the order. This disclosure is in larger
public interest wherein both parties must have equal
opportunity before the court of law for securing
Administration of Justice.
