How will disclosure of Mallya's extradition expenses impede his prosecution: CIC asks CBI

India TV News  

The Central Information Commission has directed the CBI to explain how disclosure of expenses incurred on the extradition of Vijay Mallya will hamper his pending apprehension and prosecution. The Section 24 exempts security and intelligence organisations listed in the second schedule including the CBI from "anything" contained in the RTI Act. When the matter reached the CIC, highest adjudicating body on RTI matters, the CBI cited Section 24 and Section 8 saying adjudication in cases against Mallya is still pending hence information cannot be disclosed. Durve strongly contested the arguments of the agency saying CPIO has wrongly invoked Section 8 of the RTI Act without justifying as to how the information sought in the present RTI application shall impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders. Commission directs him to send a written submission highlighting the factum as to how the information sought in the instant RTI Application is exempt under Section 8 of the RTI Act.," Sinha said.
