Can travel expenses of a Government officer be disclosed?

Answer:
The travel expenses are met from the state exchequer, and hence disclosure cannot be denied on the grounds of 'personal information', 'not a public activity' or 'no public interest involved'. Travel performed as part of official duty and the records related to the same are public records and therefore a citizen has the right to seek disclosure.
