‘Missing files no excuse for denying information’ - The Hindu

Public authorities cannot take excuse of “missing files” for denying
information under the RTI Act as such claims have no legality under the
transparency law for withholding records, the Central Information
Commission has held.

“Unless proved the record was destroyed as per the prescribed rules of
destruction/retention policy, it is deemed that record continues to be held
by the public authority,” Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu said
in his order.
