&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Provision can&#039;t be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information &#039;held or controlled&#039; by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview,&amp;quot; Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not,&amp;quot; the bench had said in the order.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Provision can&#039;t be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information &#039;held or controlled&#039; by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview,&amp;quot; Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not,&amp;quot; the bench had said in the order.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Provision can&#039;t be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information &#039;held or controlled&#039; by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview,&amp;quot; Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not,&amp;quot; the bench had said in the order.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Provision can&#039;t be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information &#039;held or controlled&#039; by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview,&amp;quot; Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not,&amp;quot; the bench had said in the order.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Provision can't be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations<br />
</em><br />
The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held.<br />
<br />
The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate.<br />
<br />
The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government.<br />
<br />
The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act.<br />
<br />
Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records.<br />
<br />
It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency.<br />
<br />
This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information 'held or controlled' by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted.<br />
<br />
In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply.<br />
<br />
The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court.<br />
<br />
In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24.<br />
<br />
It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied.<br />
<br />
&quot;It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview,&quot; Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out.<br />
<br />
The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act.<br />
<br />
&quot;The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not,&quot; the bench had said in the order.<br />

CBI is not fully exempt from RTI Act, rules Delhi High Court

-PTI Provision can't be used to deny information related to corruption charges, other violations The CBI cannot claim absolute exemption from disclosing information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations held by it under the RTI Act, the Delhi High Court has held. The CBI has been denying information citing Section 24 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which says that its provisions will not apply on intelligence and security organisations, which also include IB, RAW, NIA and the Enforcement Directorate. The CBI was included in the list by the erstwhile UPA Government. The Act however clearly states that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations will not fall under the exemption given to these organisations under Section 24 of the RTI Act. Hyderabad-based RTI activist C J Karira had sought information pertaining to corruption in several top offices of the country from the CBI, but the agency had said since it is exempted from the RTI Act, it will not share such records. It had also said that the information on alleged corruption and human rights violations can only be disclosed if the allegations are against any official of the agency. This was an incorrect interpretation, as the RTI Act dealt with information 'held or controlled' by a public authority and does not make any distinction if the allegations of corruption are against its employee or not, the CIC had noted. In 2012, then Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra had rejected the claims of the agency saying when it comes to disclosure of information on allegations of corruption, blanket immunity given to the agency from the RTI Act in Section 24 will not apply. The agency had challenged it in the Delhi High Court. In a judgement earlier this month, the High Court rejected the argument of the agency and said the allegations of corruption do not attract blanket exemption given to the agency in Section 24. It has said the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violation can be denied only if they fell under Section 8(1) of the RTI Act which gives 10 grounds on which information can be denied. "It is apparent from the plain reading of the first proviso to Section 24(1) of the Act that the information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations are not excluded from the purview," Justice Vibhu Bakhru pointed out. The judge also cited a recent order of the High Court which dealt with the information sought from the Intelligence Bureau, also an exempted organisation under the RTI Act. "The only conclusion that can be drawn is that, if the information sought pertains to allegations of corruption and human rights violations, it would be exempt from the exclusion clause, irrespective of the fact that the information pertains to the exempt intelligence and security organisations or not, or pertains to an officer of the Intelligence Bureau or not," the bench had said in the order.
