Dear Sirs,
There's nothing new in this circular apart from the fact that it has
great nuisance value and susceptible to abuse.
Unless & until the Govt. comes clean about it's policy on
classification of records it will make a mockery of information
dissemination process.
The said circular is OK if seen through the narrow confines of RTI
Act. But appears bad in the larger context.
I also bring to the notice of members a similar decision in a case
decided by CIC in Venkatesh Nayak vs MHA and a related news item.
