Outcome
IIT faculty recruitment — published criteria + candidate's own evaluation disclosable; panel deliberations §8(1)(e).
Ratio decidendi
IITs are §2(h) public authorities. Faculty recruitment — published eligibility criteria, post-wise vacancy, successful candidate's profile after final selection — is disclosable. Selection-panel internal deliberations on comparative merit remain §8(1)(e) protected narrowly.
