A fine officer !
I had a few occasions to interact with Sinhaji while he was Additional
Secretary CVC and I was working as CVO of OIC. A fine officer who really
practices transparency in his work place and is clear in his approach.
Such honest persons should occupy post of CBI Director to lead the country
towards complete transparency.

Addition and deletion of names in the agreed list
Applicant sought information as to how his name was put on the
agreed list and how was it removed. The First Appellate Authority
(FAA) directed the PIO to furnish relevant documents after duly
suppressing the identity of complaint(s)/official(s). The Public
Information Officer (PIO) filed an appeal against the FAA order.
The Central Information Commission (CIC) observed that the Agreed
List is admittedly a confidential information, rather a critically
confidential information, held by the public authority in its
role as a third party within the provisions of Section 124 of
the Indian Evidence Act. The CIC held that confidentiality of
the Agreed List is critical for the success of the management
decisions about key assignments to its employees, lest for want
of reflection on the background, character and conduct of specific
officers, management hands over sensitive assignments into undeserving
hands whose actions may be injurious both to the public authority
as well as to the public interest. The CIC upheld the denial of
information by the PIO.
Comments
In the case of Sudesh Kumar v. Customs & Central Excise in
Appeal No.CIC/AT/A/2007/00229, the CIC had ruled that "Agreed
List" are not disclosable. After a person's name has been
deleted from the agreed list, there would be little ground to
deny information to the concerned person.
