&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme
Court today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a 
public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the 
accounts of the country&#039;s premier intelligence agencies were audited to 
make them accountable to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We feel a judicial order to
audit the agencies will create a dent in our functioning and security. 
This would lead to a dangerous situation,&amp;quot; a bench headed by Justice 
Dipak Misra told advocate Prashant Bhushan who appeared for the NGO 
Centre for Public Interest Litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sorry, we will not interfere. We must give them room to work and there is no need for judicial interference,&amp;quot; the bench added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
NGO had filed the PIL alleging that agencies like the Intelligence 
Bureau, RAW and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) 
enjoyed unbridled financial and snooping powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhushan said 
officials working with various agencies were, in the name of gathering 
intelligence, spending crores of rupees from the public exchequer. 
&amp;quot;There is no account of how much and where they spend,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attorney
general Mukul Rohatgi had opposed the PIL on the ground that an audit 
would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable because
of the nature of their job. &amp;quot;How can we have auditing when the country 
is facing so much of hostility from all sides,&amp;quot; Rohatgi argued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We
are not inclined to entertain this petition. Executive powers co-exist 
with legislative powers also,&amp;quot; the bench said, rejecting the PIL. &amp;quot;We do
not think the court should entertain such... petitions which deal with 
the security of the country.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, the Centre had in an 
affidavit told the court it was not necessary to put in the public 
domain any detailed information on sensitive organisations like RAW, the
IB and the NTRO as they all worked for national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 
Comptroller and Auditor General, the Centre claimed in the affidavit 
last year, regularly audits the accounts of these organisations. 
&amp;quot;Putting information on public domain will only dilute and put to risk 
the sensitive organisations working for national safety and security.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In
other words, the Centre&#039;s stand is that the IB, RAW and the NTRO, 
although not created under statutory provisions like other government 
agencies and departments, discharge sensitive functions and hence their 
activities cannot be subject to public scrutiny like other government 
organisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO, which filed its PIL in 2013, had 
complained that the three intelligence agencies were functioning without
any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people&#039;s phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen&#039;s fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the 
Constitution guaranteed.

&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme
Court today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a 
public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the 
accounts of the country&#039;s premier intelligence agencies were audited to 
make them accountable to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We feel a judicial order to
audit the agencies will create a dent in our functioning and security. 
This would lead to a dangerous situation,&amp;quot; a bench headed by Justice 
Dipak Misra told advocate Prashant Bhushan who appeared for the NGO 
Centre for Public Interest Litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sorry, we will not interfere. We must give them room to work and there is no need for judicial interference,&amp;quot; the bench added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
NGO had filed the PIL alleging that agencies like the Intelligence 
Bureau, RAW and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) 
enjoyed unbridled financial and snooping powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhushan said 
officials working with various agencies were, in the name of gathering 
intelligence, spending crores of rupees from the public exchequer. 
&amp;quot;There is no account of how much and where they spend,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attorney
general Mukul Rohatgi had opposed the PIL on the ground that an audit 
would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable because
of the nature of their job. &amp;quot;How can we have auditing when the country 
is facing so much of hostility from all sides,&amp;quot; Rohatgi argued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We
are not inclined to entertain this petition. Executive powers co-exist 
with legislative powers also,&amp;quot; the bench said, rejecting the PIL. &amp;quot;We do
not think the court should entertain such... petitions which deal with 
the security of the country.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, the Centre had in an 
affidavit told the court it was not necessary to put in the public 
domain any detailed information on sensitive organisations like RAW, the
IB and the NTRO as they all worked for national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 
Comptroller and Auditor General, the Centre claimed in the affidavit 
last year, regularly audits the accounts of these organisations. 
&amp;quot;Putting information on public domain will only dilute and put to risk 
the sensitive organisations working for national safety and security.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In
other words, the Centre&#039;s stand is that the IB, RAW and the NTRO, 
although not created under statutory provisions like other government 
agencies and departments, discharge sensitive functions and hence their 
activities cannot be subject to public scrutiny like other government 
organisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO, which filed its PIL in 2013, had 
complained that the three intelligence agencies were functioning without
any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people&#039;s phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen&#039;s fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the 
Constitution guaranteed.

New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme
Court today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a 
public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the 
accounts of the country&#039;s premier intelligence agencies were audited to 
make them accountable to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;

any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people&#039;s phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen&#039;s fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the

&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme
Court today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a 
public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the 
accounts of the country&#039;s premier intelligence agencies were audited to 
make them accountable to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We feel a judicial order to
audit the agencies will create a dent in our functioning and security. 
This would lead to a dangerous situation,&amp;quot; a bench headed by Justice 
Dipak Misra told advocate Prashant Bhushan who appeared for the NGO 
Centre for Public Interest Litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sorry, we will not interfere. We must give them room to work and there is no need for judicial interference,&amp;quot; the bench added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
NGO had filed the PIL alleging that agencies like the Intelligence 
Bureau, RAW and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) 
enjoyed unbridled financial and snooping powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhushan said 
officials working with various agencies were, in the name of gathering 
intelligence, spending crores of rupees from the public exchequer. 
&amp;quot;There is no account of how much and where they spend,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attorney
general Mukul Rohatgi had opposed the PIL on the ground that an audit 
would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable because
of the nature of their job. &amp;quot;How can we have auditing when the country 
is facing so much of hostility from all sides,&amp;quot; Rohatgi argued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We
are not inclined to entertain this petition. Executive powers co-exist 
with legislative powers also,&amp;quot; the bench said, rejecting the PIL. &amp;quot;We do
not think the court should entertain such... petitions which deal with 
the security of the country.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, the Centre had in an 
affidavit told the court it was not necessary to put in the public 
domain any detailed information on sensitive organisations like RAW, the
IB and the NTRO as they all worked for national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 
Comptroller and Auditor General, the Centre claimed in the affidavit 
last year, regularly audits the accounts of these organisations. 
&amp;quot;Putting information on public domain will only dilute and put to risk 
the sensitive organisations working for national safety and security.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In
other words, the Centre&#039;s stand is that the IB, RAW and the NTRO, 
although not created under statutory provisions like other government 
agencies and departments, discharge sensitive functions and hence their 
activities cannot be subject to public scrutiny like other government 
organisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO, which filed its PIL in 2013, had 
complained that the three intelligence agencies were functioning without
any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people&#039;s phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen&#039;s fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the 
Constitution guaranteed.

&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme
Court today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a 
public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the 
accounts of the country&#039;s premier intelligence agencies were audited to 
make them accountable to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We feel a judicial order to
audit the agencies will create a dent in our functioning and security. 
This would lead to a dangerous situation,&amp;quot; a bench headed by Justice 
Dipak Misra told advocate Prashant Bhushan who appeared for the NGO 
Centre for Public Interest Litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sorry, we will not interfere. We must give them room to work and there is no need for judicial interference,&amp;quot; the bench added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
NGO had filed the PIL alleging that agencies like the Intelligence 
Bureau, RAW and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) 
enjoyed unbridled financial and snooping powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhushan said 
officials working with various agencies were, in the name of gathering 
intelligence, spending crores of rupees from the public exchequer. 
&amp;quot;There is no account of how much and where they spend,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attorney
general Mukul Rohatgi had opposed the PIL on the ground that an audit 
would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable because
of the nature of their job. &amp;quot;How can we have auditing when the country 
is facing so much of hostility from all sides,&amp;quot; Rohatgi argued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We
are not inclined to entertain this petition. Executive powers co-exist 
with legislative powers also,&amp;quot; the bench said, rejecting the PIL. &amp;quot;We do
not think the court should entertain such... petitions which deal with 
the security of the country.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, the Centre had in an 
affidavit told the court it was not necessary to put in the public 
domain any detailed information on sensitive organisations like RAW, the
IB and the NTRO as they all worked for national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 
Comptroller and Auditor General, the Centre claimed in the affidavit 
last year, regularly audits the accounts of these organisations. 
&amp;quot;Putting information on public domain will only dilute and put to risk 
the sensitive organisations working for national safety and security.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In
other words, the Centre&#039;s stand is that the IB, RAW and the NTRO, 
although not created under statutory provisions like other government 
agencies and departments, discharge sensitive functions and hence their 
activities cannot be subject to public scrutiny like other government 
organisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO, which filed its PIL in 2013, had 
complained that the three intelligence agencies were functioning without
any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people&#039;s phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen&#039;s fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the 
Constitution guaranteed.

would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable because
of the nature of their job. &quot;How can we have auditing when the country 
is facing so much of hostility from all sides,&quot; Rohatgi argued.<br />
<br />
&quot;We
are not inclined to entertain this petition. Executive powers co-exist 
with legislative powers also,&quot; the bench said, rejecting the PIL. &quot;We do
not think the court should entertain such... petitions which deal with 
the security of the country.&quot;<br />
<br />
Earlier, the Centre had in an 
affidavit told the court it was not necessary to put in the public 
domain any detailed information on sensitive organisations like RAW, the
IB and the NTRO as they all worked for national security.<br />
<br />
The 
Comptroller and Auditor General, the Centre claimed in the affidavit 
last year, regularly audits the accounts of these organisations. 
&quot;Putting information on public domain will only dilute and put to risk 
the sensitive organisations working for national safety and security.&quot;<br />
<br />
In
other words, the Centre's stand is that the IB, RAW and the NTRO, 
although not created under statutory provisions like other government 
agencies and departments, discharge sensitive functions and hence their 
activities cannot be subject to public scrutiny like other government 
organisations.<br />
<br />
The NGO, which filed its PIL in 2013, had 
complained that the three intelligence agencies were functioning without
any statutory authority. Their role, the PIL alleged, included tapping 
people's phones and monitoring their activities, thereby infringing upon
a citizen's fundamental right to liberty that Article 21 of the 
Constitution guaranteed.

SC bins intelligence audit plea

-The Telegraph New Delhi: The SupremeCourt today cited a possible dent in national security to dismiss a public interest plea that had sought a directive to ensure that the accounts of the country's premier intelligence agencies were audited to make them accountable to Parliament. "We feel a judicial order toaudit the agencies will create a dent in our functioning and security. This would lead to a dangerous situation," a bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra told advocate Prashant Bhushan who appeared for the NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation. "Sorry, we will not interfere. We must give them room to work and there is no need for judicial interference," the bench added. TheNGO had filed the PIL alleging that agencies like the Intelligence Bureau, RAW and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) enjoyed unbridled financial and snooping powers. Bhushan said officials working with various agencies were, in the name of gathering intelligence, spending crores of rupees from the public exchequer. "There is no account of how much and where they spend," he said. Attorneygeneral Mukul Rohatgi had opposed the PIL on the ground that an audit would expose intelligence officials, who were already vulnerable becauseof the nature of their job. "How can we have auditing when the country is facing so much of hostility from all sides," Rohatgi argued. "Weare not inclined to entertain this petition.
