Reliable sources, who decline to be quoted, inform that former Chief
Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah has refused to part with a
copy of the contempt notice served on him by the Supreme Court of
India in December 2009. The information had been requested under RTI
by a citizen from Bengaluru S Umapathi on 7th September 2010 when Mr
Habibullah was the Chief Commissioner. When Mr Habibullah refused to
divulge the contempt notice to the PIO of the Commission, he was
served a third party notice immediately after he demitted office. It
is now reported that Mr Habibullah has denied that any such contempt
notice, as widely reported in the media, was ever served formally on
him.
