एखादा दस्त सादर करणे लोकहितामध्ये नाही हे विशेष अधिकाराचे समर्थन असू शकते. खालीलपैकी कोणती बाब लोकहितामध्ये मोडत नाही ?

The correct answer is Option D (Matrimonial relations of President).

Key Points:
• Doctrine of Crown/State Privilege (Sections 123 & 124 of Indian Evidence Act): The State can withhold production of unpublished official documents when disclosure would injure public interest.
• Recognized Grounds of Public Interest:
• Matters injurious to national defence or security (1).
• Maintaining good diplomatic relations with foreign states (2).
• Ensuring proper and uninhibited functioning of public services and state affairs (3).
• Personal Affairs: Purely private or personal matters, such as the personal or matrimonial relations of the President (4), do not constitute legitimate public interest grounds under administrative law for claiming official state privilege.
• Therefore, Option 4 is not an aspect of public interest.
• Key Takeaway: Defence, foreign relations, and public service efficacy are public interest grounds for state privilege; personal matrimonial matters are not.
