Bofors case: CBI refuses to reveal info on 'Q' under RTI
New Delhi, Nov 22 (PTI) The Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI), which has decided to close the case
against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, has refused
to reveal information about him relating to Bofors payoff case
under the Right to Information (RTI) Act on the ground that it
will "impede" the prosecution of the accused.
The disclosure "would impede the process of apprehension
and prosecution of accused," the investigating agency said in
reply to a plea under the Right to Information Act.
CBI said as the criminal case against Quattrocchi was
still pending in the trial court and that various other
petitions relating to the case were yet to be disposed of in
the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the
documents and the information can neither be provided nor
allowed to be inspected.
The CBI's reply came on the RTI application filed by
advocate Ajay Agrawal seeking all documents, notings and files
pertaining to defreezing of Quattrocchi and his wife's
accounts at London.
The lawyer, who has opposed closure of case against
Quattrocchi in the apex court and trial court, had also sought
all information including advices, opinions and notings of
law officers as well as CBI's officers who allegedly favoured
him, leading to withdrawal of the Red Corner Notice against
him in November 2008. PTI AAC
