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

Recently, there was a case in which PIO denied information on the almost same analogy citing the decision of disclosure about the papers being put up before the Cabinet for consideration and approval.  CIC rejected this stating that that case is not similar to the information / proposal contained for the consideration of the Cabinet and rejected the plea of the PIO. This was probably reported in the media within 15-30 days.
