going on in the matter. This has been disclosed in a reply by Subrata Hazra,
Under Secretary and Central Public Information Officer of PMO on a Right to
Information ( RTI ) poser by Lucknow based Human Rights Activist & Engineer
Sanjay Sharma.
Citing clause 8(1)(h)
of RTI act, Hazra has denied the impart of Information on entire RTI request of
Sanjay. Clause 8(1)(h) of RTI act 2005 says
“Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Act, there shall be no obligation to give any
citizen,— information which would impede the process of investigation or
apprehension or prosecution of offenders;”.
Activist Sanjay, While in an exclusive
telephonic conversation to this correspondent of YAISHWARYAJ told that on 25th
April 2016, he shot-off this 10 point RTI plea to PMO of India. Sanjay also
provided a copy of RTI query & the reply of PMO dated 30th May
2016 to YAISHWARYAJ.
As
per this RTI poser Sanjay asked for Certified copy/copies of order(s) issued
by Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi for investigation(s) into the Indians who
are among those named in the "Panama Papers"; Certified copy/copies
of all record including note-sheets contained in files in which the matter
related to investigating the Indians who are among those named in the "Panama
Papers" has been processed and finalized;Certified copy of a complete set

conducted in this matter. However, PMO while saying that impart of info on any
of these points would impede the
process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders, has denied info
on all 10 points of this RTI poser.
“CPIO has denied info without application of
mind” Sanjay says and asks as to how disclosuse
of order(s) issued by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi for investigation(s) into the Indians who are among those
named in the "Panama Papers would impede the process of investigation or
apprehension or prosecution of offenders ? Dissatisfied
