It is verygood step. In my opinion,we all should write such letters to CIC and records should not be destroyed. Records can be collected in the form of a book and published by CIC office. They can then be sold at reasonable price like any other publication.

Respected Sir,
I beg to inform you about the downside / inherent dangers of the CIC's recent decision to weed out / destroy its old case records.
I was shocked to see that important/landmark CIC decisions of year 2006 which have been deleted from the CIC's records and which are no longer accessible on either of the CIC's websites, are being sold by private legal publishers at Euro 100 per decision. I refer in particular to the CIC decision in "Appeal No. 10/1/2005-CIC" titled as "ER. SARBAJIT ROY v. DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY." which is now before the Supreme Court in SLP jurisdiction. One of the websites selling this otherwise unavailable landmark decision is at URL [http://www.ejurix.in/Cases/CIC/CIC-NA/99Mon9999%20(GJX)%200102%20CIC.htm]
Clearly, the implications of the CIC's new weeding out policy, which incidentally also transgress provisions of the "Public Records Act" is anti-citizen and has not been carefully thought out, and it requires public consultation before the Intellectual Property rights to CIC "judgments" are sold off / gifted away to private persons to fulfill the State's mandate.
I would be obliged if this matter is examined before the weeding out policy is fully implemented.
Yours faithfully
