Part II · Denial of Access to Information

6. Severability under certain circumstances

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Where a request for information is refused on any of the grounds referred to in section 5, access shall nevertheless be given to that part of any record or document which contains any information that is not exempted from being disclosed under that section, and which can reasonably be severed from any part that contains information exempted from being disclosed.
