17. As regards Section 8(1)(j), there is no question that notings made in the files by government servants in discharge of their official functions is definitely a public activity and concerns the larger public interest....
It is clear from the decisions of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court as stated above, File Noting are open and not fiduciary or personal in nature. The respondent contention is not correct i.e. the file noting are internal communication and not accessible under the RTI Act.
