A mere allegation of corruption not backed by credible evidence would not be sufficient to direct the country’s intelligence organisations to reveal information under the RTI Act, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has held.
JUST a week ago, we carried a story and case where a Single Bench of the Delhi High Court had taken serious note of the lackadaisical approach of the Department in releasing the information. The High Court had directed the department to furnish the information within two weeks.
