As
per section 10 of Right to Information Act, 2005 where
a request for access to information is rejected on the ground that it is in
relation to information which is exempt from disclosure, then, notwithstanding
anything contained in this Act, access may be provided to that part of the
record which does not contain any information which is exempt from disclosure
under the Act and which can reasonably be severed from any part that contains
exempt information.
Where access is granted to a part of the
record the authority shall give a notice to the applicant, informing-
(i) that only part of the record requested,
after severance of the record containing information which is exempt from
disclosure, is being provided;
(ii) the reasons for the decision,
including any findings on any material question of fact, referring to the
material on which those findings were based;
(iii) the name and designation of the
person giving the decision;
(iv) the details of the fees calculated by
him or her and the amount of fee which the applicant is required to deposit;
and
(v) his or her rights with respect to review
of the decision regarding non- disclosure of part of the information, the
amount of fee charged or the form of access provided, including the particulars
of the senior officer specified under sub- section (1) of section 19 or the
Central Information Commission or the State Information Commission, as the case
may be, time limit, process and any other form of access.
