Disclosure of ACRs will endanger senior officials: ESIC
A government organisation has claimed that disclosure of an employee’s own Annual Confidential Report to him will endanger safety of the senior officials who have given their views on it.
The curious case came before the Central Information Commission after Employees State Insurance Corporation refused to disclose the ACR of its own employee A K Dawar to him under the RTI Act.
Declining the request, the department cited section 8(1)(g) of the Act which exempts information, the disclosure of which would endanger the life or physical safety of any person or identify the source of information or assistance given in confidence for law enforcement or security purposes
