[HumJanenge] Need advise section 8-1(i)

Dear Members 

Need advise on below matter

Last year Ministry of Consumer affair, Food and Public distribution proposed amendment to Consumer Protection act. Proposed amendment were placed before Union Cabinet during July 10 meetings. Media highlighted proposed amendments that ministry had plan to do in the act. 

During the meeting Honble PM felt need of some fine tunning and amendments were referred to Shri Pranab Mukherjee and Shri Kapil Sibbal for comments etc.

It is being 6 months and there seems to be no progress on matter.

I filled RTI last month asking for progress made on matter, when matter was received by above ministers and when did they commented on amendments , when Mr Sibal/Mr Mukherjee completed the procedure and sent back amendments ,file noting etc. 

I received reply from PIO of above said ministry stating  matter is Secret till the time amendment are notified by Department and information cant be furnished at this stage under RTI act 8-1(i)

Need advise of learned members if PIO is correct in withholding information. Please advise any case law/CIC decisions where information was allowed under section 8-1(i). 

Regards

Mohit
