 +Recruitment-exam answer keys published during objection window become public documents — §8(1)(e) does not bar disclosure of final answer keys.
 +
 +===== Ratio decidendi =====
 +
 +Recruitment-examination answer keys, once published for candidate objections and finalised, are public records. The fiduciary carve-out under §8(1)(e) (from //ICAI v. Shaunak Satya//) applies to the internal preparation process — not to the published final answer key.
