Re: [HumJanenge] Re: SC rules that Info Commission cannot order disclosure of information under Sec 18

Why should we assume that the SICs / CIC is expected to defend their orders.
Already the Delhi High Court has held that they are to be exempted
from being named as parties in such Writs.

It is only your presumption that the CIC can order disclosure of
information in complaint case. If that be so then where is the need
for appeal ? Please don't trivialise the complaint powers of the CIC
and bring it down to the level of appeals. You are being very foolish
through your ignorance and misleading group members on this vital
point.
