In a recent decision by IC(Shailesh Gandhi) on May 13. 2011 [CIC/SM/A/2011/000277/SG]
he disallows an employee of RAW (exempted organisation u/s 24 ) from receiving information about why his salary is not being paid, incidentally the appellant took the stand that non-payment of salary is a human rights violation and hence exemption u/s 24 does not apply.
Contrast this with a "ballsy" decision on similar point by IC(M/L.Sharma) [CIC/LS/A/2010/001277]
where IC(MLS) states that the Commission CONSISTENTLY holds that administrative matters of an intelligence organisation exempted u/s 24 are not covered by the exemption and information will be disclosed.
If there is any decision from the High Court overturning the CONSISTENT view of the CIC can IC(SG) share it or at least put it up on the CIC website uner the relevant link.
