M. Oberoi, DIG, CBI Maj. Gen.<br \/>\nSingh has pleaded as below:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;The reply given by the CPIO to question No. 1 and 2 is incomplete<br \/>\n      and amounts to denial of information. The only information<br \/>\n      provided is that the complaint is being dealt with according to<br \/>\n      instructions provided in CBI Crime Manual. No information has<br \/>\n      been given regarding the specific action taken and the reasons for<br \/>\n      delay.

The perusal of records does not<br \/>\nindicate any undue delay. The complainant will be informed about the<br \/>\noutcome of his complaint after its disposal. These complaints may have<br \/>\nthe potential for further legal actions. As such, till their disposals<br \/>\notherwise, any information w.r.t. the processing of complaints will have<br \/>\nbearing on the fall out of such legal actions, if any. As such the<br \/>\ninformation about processing of complaints will be covered u\/s 8 (i) (h) of<br \/>\nRTI Act, 2005, as they may have potential of legal actions in future.<br \/>\nTherefore, the request for providing such record related to the complaints<br \/>\nunder process cannot be considered at this stage.\n<\/p>\n<p>(ii)                       The complainant will be informed about the<br \/>\noutcome of complaints after its disposal.\n<\/p>\n<p>(iii)                      There is no averment made by the appellant to<br \/>\njustify the applicability of section 7 (1) of RTI Act, 2005. The outcome of<br \/>\nthe complaints is not related to the liberty of the appellant.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      Appellant&#8217;s prayer before us in second appeal is as below:<br \/>\n      &#8220;The CBI may be directed to provide the information requested<br \/>\n      regarding the action on my complaint regarding the disclosure<br \/>\n      in the book titled The Kaoboys of R&amp;AW: Down Memory Lane,<br \/>\n      written by B.

Disclosure of records pertaining to the complaint, before<br \/>\nits final outcome, may impede such potential legal action on the complaint<br \/>\nin future.\n<\/p>\n<p>(d)            With regard to this para it is submitted that the reply of CBI<br \/>\ndoes not violate human rights of Maj. Gen. V. K. Singh as the said<br \/>\ncomplaint is not related to the case against Maj. Gen. V. K. Singh.\n<\/p>\n<p>(e)            With regard to this para it is submitted that the information<br \/>\nsought by applicant cannot be disclosed at this stage as it can impede the<br \/>\nprocess of Prosecution of offenders, if any and potential legal action, if<br \/>\nany, which may be initiated on the basis of the processing of this<br \/>\ncomplaint.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>       The appeal was heard on 10.6.10. The following are present:<\/p>\n<p>       <a href=\"\/doc\/791266\/\">Appellant<br \/>\n             Maj. Gen. V. K. Singh<br \/>\n       Respondents<br \/>\n             Shri Sanjay Kumar Singh, SP, ACU-IX, CBI<br \/>\n             Shri Gir Raj Sharma, SI, ACU-IX<\/p>\n<p>       CPIO Shri Sanjay Kumar Singh<\/a> submitted that the complaints of Maj.

The relevant file was also inspected by us.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        Maj. Gen. V. K. Singh submitted a copy of the decision of this Commission<br \/>\ndated 10.10.08 in the case of Maj. Gen. Singh vs. CBI Appeal No.<br \/>\nCIC\/WB\/A\/2008\/01164 in the last Para of which we have decided as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;However, since the response of the CBI has made it clear that no<br \/>\n       complaint has been filed with them thus far with regard to the book<br \/>\n       in question violating a law upon which they could have taken action,<br \/>\n       it is open to appellant Maj. Gen. V. K. Singh to move such a<br \/>\n       complaint before the appropriate authority in CBI seeking such<br \/>\n       further action, as is warranted by the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>       The General submitted that he has made this application in accordance<br \/>\nwith this Commission&#8217;s Decision, but has not yet received a reply.\n<\/p>\n<p>                            DECISION NOTICE<\/p>\n<p>       Having inspected the record, we find that the bulk of this, both in terms of<br \/>\nnotings and correspondence, deals with communications received from R&amp;AW,<br \/>\nan Organization listed at Sr. No. 2 of the Second Schedule and, therefore,<br \/>\ngoverned by Sec. 24(1), in that not only does nothing contained in the Act apply<br \/>\nto this Organization but also includes any information furnished by R&amp;AW to<br \/>\nGovernment. Only the first two pages of the noting are disclosable information<br \/>\nwhich concerns the decision of CBI to refer the matter to R&amp;AW. Under the<br \/>\ncircumstances, the information sought is not disclosable under the RTI Act. For<br \/>\nthis reason the appeal will not stand.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Nevertheless, we must point out that the decision of the Appellate<br \/>\nAuthority is flawed because since the information sought in the present case, has<br \/>\nby the CPIO&#8217;s own admission, nothing to do with the prosecution pending against<br \/>\nappellant Shri V. K. Singh, it cannot be argued that the exemption u\/s 8(1)(h) of<br \/>\nthe RTI Act is sought because information that may be obtained during the<br \/>\ncourse of verification could prove such an impediment, when there is no<br \/>\ndisclosure or indeed determination of what this impediment might be. Besides,<br \/>\nCPIO&#8217;s repeated plea in response to our appeal notice that the matter is under<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         4<\/span><br \/>\n process does not exempt him from disclosing to the complainant himself what<br \/>\nsuch a process is and what procedure is being followed. This may be noted by<br \/>\nthe CPIO when disposing of similar cases not concerning a Second Schedule<br \/>\nDepartment in the future.\n<\/p>\n<p>       On the plea of appellant that the matter should have been disposed of<br \/>\nwithin 48 hours under the proviso to Sec. 7(1) of the RTI Act, we might only say<br \/>\nthat since CBI itself is the prosecuting agency in the case against Maj. Gen. V K.<br \/>\nSingh and an Officer of no less stature than the DIG has assured him that<br \/>\napprehension of loss or liberty is not justified, CPIO in this case cannot be under<br \/>\ncompulsion to respond to his RTI application, as per that proviso-and not under<br \/>\nSec 7(1) itself, which respondents have erroneously pleaded.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Announced in the hearing. Notice of this decision be given free of cost to<br \/>\nthe parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Wajahat Habibullah)<br \/>\nChief Information Commissioner<br \/>\n10.6.2010<\/p>\n<p>Authenticated true copy.
