Mr. Apoorv Nautiyal, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Swati Verma, Brief Holder for the State. 2. Petitioner has challenged order dated 01.04.2026, passed by Chief Information Commissioner in Appeal No. 44495/2025-26 (Vijendra Kumar Vs. Public Information Officer and others). By the said order, appeal filed by petitioner seeking information in respect of respondent No. 4, was dismissed by holding that personal information in respect of third party cannot be given without his consent. 3. The application made by petitioner before Public Information Officer is enclosed as Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Perusal thereof reveals that petitioner had asked for copy of the NOC issued by Regional Director of Education in favour of respondent No. 4 at the time of her appointment as Assistant Teacher in a Government Junior High School. 4. Petitioner had asked for other information also in respect of respondent No. 4, namely, copy of attendance register, copy of salary register, copy of duty chart in respect of 2026:UHC:4018 teachers, copy of service book of respondent No. 4, action taken by Department against respondent No. 4 on the report submitted by SIT, copy of caste certificate submitted by respondent No. 4 at the time of her appointment. 5. Before State Information Commission, respondent No. 4 appeared and submitted that her matrimonial dispute is pending before the Court and petitioner is harassing her by not only asking for personal information under Right to Information Act, 2005, but by making false and vexatious complaints to different authorities, thus causing mental harassment to her. 6. This Court do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed by Chief Information Commissioner. 7. Section 11 of Right to Information Act, 2005 deals with third party information and provides that whenever such request is received, Central Public Information Officer or the State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall give a written notice to the third party within five days of receiving such request, if such third party objects to the prayer for information, then Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall take a decision whether or not to disclose the information. 8. Even otherwise also, personal information 2026:UHC:4018 regarding a person, disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual concerned, is exempted from disclosure under Section 8(1(j) of Right to Information Act. 9. Since the information sought by petitioner was in the nature of personal information, therefore Chief Information Commissioner was justified in dismissing petitioner’s appeal. 10. Thus there is no scope for interference. The writ petition fails and is dismissed. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 20.05.2026 Mahinder/
