Wrong Interpretation of personal information by Central Information Commissioner Mr Rajiv Mathur- in File No CIC /DS/A/2011/003075/RM order dated 06.11.2012

Hon'ble High Court of Delhi has held in the case of Jamia Milia Islamia Vs Ikramuddin (W.P.(C)No.5677/2011) decided on 22.11.11 that the person, as legally defined includes a juristic person.
Facts of the Case
1. Applicant had sought a transaction detail (in short -title deed of real estate transaction) from the Public authority (these documents are registered with the Government and any person can sought the same-(any person can get copy of any title deed registered with the Registrar. kindly note Haryana Government is giving title deed of private person like Mr Rahul Gandhi with farmer / Mr Robert Vadra and publish related to scam of Congress ).
2. Central Information Commissioner Mr Rajiv Mathur refused to accept the copy of the decision , which summarise my oral submission . USA Supreme court Decision in FCC Vs AT & T ( Right to Privacy of corporation) case which held that corporate entity does not have personal information.
3. In short the above decision – individual have two kinds of information personal information (which may be exempt under Section 8(1) (j) and commercial information exempt under Section 8(1) (d). But Commercial organisation has only commercial information, which is exempt under Section 8(1)(d).
4. High Court held that information is not personal information and therefore, it should be disclosed to applicant .
5. In the above case, Court had not given its finding , whether artificial personal is exempt under Section 8(1)(j).
