India Right To Information

In a first, the Delhi high court (HC) has ruled that students appearing for competitive exams at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) can take the question papers home since it falls within the ambit of the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Around 2.15 lakh students appear for Aiims exam each year. The ruling means even students appearing for IIT-JEE, CAT and other such exams will be allowed to take question papers home. The Delhi HC upheld the Central Information Commission's order to provide question papers to Vikrant Bhuria, who appeared for Aiims' Mch entrance test. Justice S Muralidhar said Aiims has not been able to show how the disclosure of the question paper would adversely affect the competitive position of a third party under the RTI.
