Justice CV Karthikeyan observed that the service register of the public servant contains details of the assets and liabilities of the employee which were not private information. Such of information which could not harm the career of the public servant could also be disclosed like the date of his joining the service, the date of promotion if any and the nature of work discharged by him,” the court said. The court was hearing a petition filed by M Tamilselvan challenging the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer, North Madras denying to furnish information relating to the personal details of some public servants.
