[ambrish.p]

"When any public authority denies a fundamental right of a citizen the minimum requirement is that the
relevant provision of Section 8(1) should be given with some explanation about how it is
applicable. "

"The Commission finds that no satisfactory reasons have been provided by the PIO for not
disclosing the enquiry report. No reasoning has beengiven by the Appellate Authority as to how
Section 8(1) (j) applies. The Commission takes a very dim view of PIOs or Appellate Authorities
quoting provisions of Section 8(1) without giving any reasons asto how they apply. When any
public authority denies a fundamental right of a citizen the minimum requirement is that the
relevant provision of Section 8(1) should be given with someexplanation about how it is
applicable.

Decision:
The Appeal is allowed. "
