Lucknow/05 June 2016/ Urvashi Sharma News©yaishwaryaj
PMO won’t disclose any info related to the much talked about Panama
leaks as the investigation is 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 of all "Panama Papers" available with Government of India;Total
no. of persons approached by Government of India to become part of
inquiry committee formed to conduct inquiry in this regard;Details of
names and designations of persons approached by Government of India to
become part of inquiry committee formed to conduct inquiry in this
regard;Certified copies of letters issued to various persons
approached by Government of India to become part of inquiry committee
formed to conduct inquiry in this regard;Certified copies of responses
given by various persons approached by Government of India to become
part of inquiry committee formed to conduct inquiry in this
regard;-Details of names and designations of members of inquiry
committee formed (if any)  in this regard;Information on date of start
(if any)  of  inquiry in this matter and Information on progress (if
any)  of inquiry being 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 with this reply of CPIO of PMO, Sanjay is going to file
first appeal in this matter.
