Rakesh Chander Gupta vs Iocl, Punjab on 4 September, 2009
3. Rakesh Kumar Gupta vs. IOCL (2013) The CIC ruled that information on the
supply of petroleum products by public sector companies should be disclosed
as it relates to the distribution of essential commodities that affect the public.
In light of the above precedents, I respectfully submit that there is no valid
ground for withholding the requested information under Section 8 of the RTI
Act. The supply of petrol, diesel, and oil by BPCL to a private retail outlet does
not involve trade secrets or commercial confidence that could harm
competitive interests, particularly when weighed against the larger public
interest in ensuring transparency in the distribution of essential commodities."
