Case Synopsis & Summary

The Kerala High Court deals with a review petition, RP.No.363/2012 (F), challenging a writ petition (W.P.(C) No.7258/2012) regarding transparency in examination processes for a postgraduate medical entrance exam. The petitioners (the State of Kerala and allied authorities) contend that there were serious doubts about the valuation of the entrance examination papers and seek copies of the question booklet, the valued answer scripts (OMR sheets), and the answer key under the Right to Information Act, 2005. They argue that the valuation process was not properly verifiable and rely on RTI rights to obtain the documents. The respondents (the writ petitioners, i.e., medical candidates) submit that valuation was fully computerised and that the prospectus has no provision for supplying copies of such material. The Government Pleader supports the respondents’ position, while the petitioners cite Central Board of Secondary Education v. Aditya Bandopadyay (2011) (3 KLT SN 17) to assert the RTI framework should apply. The court endorses the Supreme Court’s stance that information rights under RTI can override absence of explicit provisions in a prospectus, and that copies should be supplied where RTI requests exist. It emphasizes that difficulties in collecting information cannot justify denying RTI access. The petition is disposed by directing supply of copies if a RTI request has been made, and ultimately the review petition is dismissed, upholding the earlier writ judgment.

Provisions of Law Cited

Right to Information Act, 2005

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners contend that they have serious doubts about the valuation of the entrance examination papers and seek copies of the question booklet, the valued OMR answer scripts, and the answer key under the Right to Information Act. They rely on Central Board of Secondary Education v. Aditya Bandopadyay (2011) to argue that RTI rights authorize disclosure despite absence of explicit provision in the prospectus. They also refer to Ext.P10 of the Central Information Commission ordering supply of similar documents. The petition asserts that the difficulties in locating and tracing OMR sheets should not bar access to information under RTI, and seek a direction to furnish the documents within a week of the judgment.

Contentions of Respondents

The respondents contend valuation was fully computerised and there is no provision in the prospectus for issuing copies of the question booklet, answer scripts, and answer key. They emphasize the absence of a specific provision in the prospectus and argue that RTI rights do not apply in the manner sought, given the lack of explicit statutory support in the procurement and evaluation process.

TO JUDGE.** **Prv.** ## S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ## R.P. No. 363 of 2012 in W.P(C) No. 7258 of 2012 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 10[th] day of April, 2012. ## O R D E R The State has filed this review petition seeking review of my judgment dated 2.4.2012 in the writ petition which reads as follows: “The petitioners are candidates who appeared for the entrance examination for admission to post graduate medical degree courses. The petitioners submit that they have serious doubts about the valuation of the answer papers of the entrance examination they have written. According to them, there is sufficient reason to suspect that the valuation has not been properly done. The petitioners have therefore submitted applications for issuing question booklet, answer scripts and answer key of the entrance examination to the petitioners. 2. I have directed the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. The learned Government Pleader submits that the valuation was fully computerised and therefore there cannot be any error in the valuation process. He also submits that there is no provision in the prospectus for issue of copies of question booklet, answer scripts and answer key to the petitioners. ## 3. I have considered the rival contentions in detail. 4. In view of the Supreme Court decision on the subject of issue of copies of valued answer scripts of the examination in **Central Board of Secondary Education v. Aditya Bandopadyay** , 2011 (3) KLT SN 17 under the Right to Information Act, the respondents cannot now take the stand that in the absence of provision in the prospectus, copies of question booklet, answer scripts and answer key cannot be issued to the candidates. The petitioners also refer to Ext.P10 order of the Central Information Commission, whereby supply of copies of similar documents have been ordered. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with the following direction: If the petitioners have applied for the copies of question booklet, answer scripts and answer key to them under the Right R.P. No. 363 of 2012 -: 2 :- to Information Act, the respondents shall see that the same is supplied to them within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.” Review of that judgment is sought on the ground that it is not immediately possible to co-relate two parts of the OMR sheet of the candidates which were separated for the purpose of valuation. Several difficulties are also mentioned in tracing out the answer papers for giving copies to the petitioners. 2. I have heard both sides. 3. It is settled law that the difficulties in collecting the information is no ground to deny a person the right conferred by the Right to Information Act for receiving information. The learned counsel for the petitioners in the writ petition submits that earlier, copy of similar OMR sheet for MBBS examination was issued to the 88[th] petitioner in the writ petition itself. Whatever that be, insofar as it is settled law that difficulties in collecting information is not a ground to deny a person the right conferred by the Right to Information Act, I am not inclined to review my judgment. Accordingly, the review petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
