In normal cource, an honest man may not find any problem in providing the information. The problem come only when some one ask certain information if disclosed is likely to expose past/present cases of corruption/illegal practices. The present
PIO/AA may not have any role in it. But they find it difficult to displease or cause damage to their predecessor or colleagues, some of them might have reached high in the heirarchy by now. The solution is to create cituations compelling them to part with such information. Section 20 of the Act is the only solution. If the
CIC/
SIC start invoking provisionss of Section 20 liberally viz., interpret the terms "shall recommend" in the correct perspective, this roblem will automatically be solved. But no
CIC/SICs is prepared to accept Sections 20(2) and 19(5) in its present form.
