The Central Information Commission (CIC) observed that the respondent have not explained how the disclosure of the requested information would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders. The CIC directed the PIO to provide requested information to the appellant.
It is seen very often that the PIO/ FAA fail to issue a speaking order which becomes unsustainable at the level of the higher judicial fora.
