RTI activist Jeetendra Ghadge questions Maharashtra SIC order denying access to corruption sanction data
A recent Maharashtra SIC order upheld the ACB's denial of RTI data on corruption case sanctions. RTI activist Jeetendra Ghadge criticized the decision, alleging it shields information on prosecution approvals. The SIC dismissed Ghadge's appeal, accepting the ACB's claim of uncompiled data. Ghadge argued the Commission should have ensured information transfer under RTI Act provisions. This ruling raises concerns about transparency in anti-corruption investigation processes.
