 +After CBSE v.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Why this RTI works =====
 +
 +After CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011), evaluated answer-sheets are 'information' under §2(f). The candidate can demand the answer-sheet, mark-book extract and evaluator notes via RTI. Most boards moved to a formal reval/recheck/photocopy regime, but RTI remains the safety net for unjustified denials.
 +
 +===== Legal framework =====
 +
 +  * **RTI Act, 2005** §6, §7(1), §2(f).
 +  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — evaluated answer-sheet is 'information'; disclosure to candidate is mandatory.
 +  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011)** — fiduciary defence does not apply to candidate's own record.
 +  * **Conducting body's own bye-laws on revaluation**.
 +
 +===== RTI template — copy & file =====
 +
 +<code>
 +To:
 +The Public Information Officer (PIO),
 +[Office name + address].
 +
 +Subject: RTI under §6 — Exam Revaluation query
 +
 +Sir/Madam,
 +
 +Under the RTI Act, 2005 read with CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011), kindly provide:
 +
 +1. Photocopy of evaluated answer-sheet, [EXAM], Roll No. [NUMBER], [SUBJECT].
 +2. Mark-book / award-list extract showing my marks question-wise.
 +3. Status of revaluation request dated [DATE], application no. [NUMBER].
 +4. Comparison of total marks before and after revaluation.
 +5. Written reasons if revaluation has not changed marks.
 +
 +Rs. 10 IPO enclosed.
 +
 +Yours faithfully,
 +[Name]
 +[Address + phone + email]

 +
 +===== Escalation timeline =====
 +
 +  * **Day 31** — First Appeal to FAA.
 +  * **Day 76** — Second Appeal to CIC / SIC.
 +  * **Parallel** — Conducting body's revaluation grievance cell.
 +
 +===== Case law anchors =====
 +
 +  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — Foundational — answer-sheets disclosable to candidate.
 +  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011)** — Examining body's fiduciary defence narrowed to third parties.
 +  * **Kendriya Vidyalaya v. CIC (Delhi HC, 2013)** — Internal evaluation records disclosable.
 +
 +
 +===== Common mistakes =====
 +
 +  * Asking for the evaluator's identity — protected under §8(1)(g).
 +  * Asking before the bye-law revaluation window opens.
 +  * Forgetting to enclose original revaluation receipt.
 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== Can I ask for evaluator's name? ====
 +
 +No — §8(1)(g) protects evaluator identity. You can ask for the marks-record + answer-sheet copy.
 +
 +==== Cost of answer-sheet copy? ====
 +
 +Boards charge Rs. 700-1500 for photocopy under their own bye-laws. RTI fee is separate Rs. 10.
