TEP: Order of Information Commissioner Mr. Basant Seth:

Decision Notice:
A coordinate bench of this Commission in its order dated 18/06/2013 (File No. CIC/RM/A/2012/000926 Sh. Ved Prakash Doda vs. ITO) has held as under:

“6. It has been the stand of the Commission that in respect of a tax evasion petition, once the investigation is completed, the appellant should be informed the broad results of the investigation, without disclosing any details. The appellant has a right to know as to whether the information provided by him was found to be true or false.

7. The Commission accordingly directs the CPIO to provide to the appellant, if investigation has been completed, the broad outcome of the investigation without divulging any details, within ten days from date of receipt of the order.” Following the ratio of above cited decision, the Commission directs the CPIO to respond to the RT I application and disclose the broad outcome of the TEP without divulging any details, to the appellant after the assessment is completed.

The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
