In an order which, if implemented, could promote transparency but also be held as too sweeping, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has ordered that the government reveal names of all IAS officers against whom prosecution sanction has been granted as well as denied since 2010. The CIC order comes on an RTI petition filed by activist Nutan Thakur in May 2017, where she sought copies of department of personnel and training’s files and letters and notes exchanged between DoPT and various officers regarding criminal cases registered against them from 2010 to 2017.
