MP Kamaraj Vs Port Management Board.
1. MP Kamaraj Vs Port Management Board.
“... Obviously, photocopying more than 2000 pages of information will put a strain on the resources of any public authority. The ports in the Andaman and Nicobar islands are not particularly large and their resources are quite limited. Besides, it appears that the Appellant himself may not be too willing to pay for the cost of photocopying as evident from the fact that he has not responded to the CPIO yet. In this background, we think it would be in everybody's interest if the Appellant is allowed to inspect the relevant records wherever these are available. We, therefore, direct the CPIO to invite the Appellant on any mutually convenient date(s) and to allow him to inspect all the records relevant to his queries. After inspection, if the Appellant would choose to get the photocopies of some of the documents, the CPIO shall provide the same to him against the payment of the prescribed photocopying charges....”
