Re: [IAC#RG] लोगोंको उल्लू बना रहे है क्या ? IAC brings CBI back under RTI (for now)

Dear Babubhai

If you choose to complain abut IAC's activities we shall have to find another IAC ombudsman to replace you.

As you are not on the operational side of IAC or India's RTI movement nowadays you have perhaps not kept abreast of developments.

On 31.Oct.2012 in Mr. C.J.Karira's CIC matter the CBI vehemently argued that all CBI does is investigate allegations of corruption. In fact it is admitted that CBI's primary task is to investigate allegations of corruption.

The proviso to RTI Act's section 24 makes it clear that even exempted organisations must disclose information on allegations of corruption under RTI.  So the bulk of information from CBI is still accessible under RTI. No doubt they got a stay order in Mr. Karira's case but it does not come in the way of other citizens seeking info from CBI

So CBI was never out of RTI for the info of allegations of corruption, and it has been brought back again by IAC (for now). CBI was never taken out due to proviso in section 24 RTI Act.

Govt took Income-Tax Investigation and CBI out of RTI.

Still not brought back.
