Department, appellants, and EMAAR-MGF Group. The I.T. Department may copy data relating to three specified entities (Boulder Hills Leisure, Cyberabad Convention Centre, and Emaar Hills Township) and inspect (but not copy) data for 46 other parties, with a mechanism allowing the I.T. Department to request access to connected files by written justification. The underlying question of law was kept open, with no order as to costs.
