Agreed List – Furnish Documents - Delhi High Court
AGREED List is a list of officers maintained jointly by the CBI and the Government Departments of officers whose integrity is doubtful. For more details, please see today's CobWeb.
This is a case of a Revenue officer who was kept in the list in the year 2004 and continued in 2005 and 2006. This officer sought information under RTI of the file pertaining to the preparation of the ‘agreed list'. The information was refused and the officer went right up to the CIC. The CIC allowed the appeal and directed the Department to furnish the documents pertaining to his inclusion in the dreaded list. Government does not budge that easily and took the matter to the Delhi High Court, which dismissed the appeal and awarded cost of Rs. 5000/-.
