On referring section 8(h) & (I) T queries raised to are referring for your kind perusal & consideration.
Under (H0 apprehension is there in between "impede the process of investigation or prosecution of offenders" these two is logical &rationale with the word "impede" but apprehension is not seems to. does it mean to say impede apprehension if it is so how it can be said offensive? If it mean to say to spread or incite or provoke or encourage the apprehension don't you think appropriate word seems to be missing to complete the very intention of the section 8(h)?
Like wise if referred 8(i) it provides under exception of s/8 records of deliberations of Secretaries and other officers too with cabinet or council. Second proviso makes obligatory to divulge the info of the decision taken, including reasons & materials on the basis of which it has taken for council of ministers.
Thus if carefully read does it mean to say that record of deliberation of meeting of secretaries & other officers are still under exception even after decision is taken & matter is completed?
Second proviso of s/8 (i) excludes the meeting of officers is this not contradictory too. when the same info for council of ministers is accessible to public why not of officers? if taken the spirit of the act the intention does not seems to exclude the same but existing provision may be misinterpreted & that may be hurdle in transparency.
when decision is already taken & matter is completed
(h) Information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders;
(i) Cabinet papers including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers:
Provided that the decisions of Council of Ministers, the reasons thereof, and the material on the basis of which the decisions were taken shall be made public after the decision has been taken, and the matter is complete, or over:
Provided further that those matters which come under the exemptions specified in this section shall not be disclosed
