[HumJanenge] Re: SC rules that Info Commission cannot order disclosure of information under Sec 18

Dear Mr Jam

I am given to understand that you have applied for post of Central
Information Commissioner.
The applicants are expected to be persons of eminence in fields like
law. If you cannot answer your own question, then I suggest you
withdraw from the field <wink> <wink>

PS: The SC has answered your query. The CIC sits in section 18 to levy
penalty u/s 20.
