It had been told to give ‘B’ report of probe under RTI Act
The High Court of Karnataka has upheld the State Information Commission’s direction to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the State to provide copies of ‘B’ report related to the investigation conducted into a suicide case, under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005.
“In my view, the commission was absolutely justified in directing furnishing of ‘B’ report and its enclosures as sought for by respondent especially when the investigation in the matter had been concluded,” observed Justice N.S. Sanjay Gowda while dismissing a petition filed by the Public Information Officer of the CID.
The CID had questioned the commission’s March 18, 2021 direction to furnish the copies of the ‘B’ report along with enclosures to one Malleshappa M. Chikkeri of Dharwad, who had sought the copies of the investigation report and connected documents related to the case of death of his son.
