The CIC has ruled that residential addresses of public servants need not be disclosed under RTI, since they also had a right to privacy.

Full decision is attached.

This is totally contradictory order to the earlier order passed by Ex CIC WH:

Residential Addresses of Officers have to be suo-motu disclosed under Sec 4(1)(b)(ix)

In fact, I was able to get the residential addresses of all officers/staff in the CIC.

If quarters are provided by govt to officers, their details are to be disclosed. In case officer is staying in private residence [hired or owned etc] in my opinion will not be disclosable though the govt may be having its location on its record.

Read that decision by CIC WH (link given in post #2) and you will see the logic he used even to allow details of non official accommodation.
