Election Commission Of India Vs Central Information Commission (Delhi High Court)
An EVM which is sought for by this RTI application is not miniature/replica and hence cannot said to be a model. It cannot be termed to be information within the meaning of Section 2(f) of the Act.
It is manifest that Section 3 of the RTI Act gives a citizen only the right to access information and not any other consequential relief.
Clearly, the aforesaid application seeking an EVM is actually an application for supply of a product and not any information. It is beyond the scope of the RTI Act. In my opinion, the impugned order of CIC suffers from manifest error. The same is set aside.
