Prasad GLN Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The yard stick to be argued is the onus of proving that providing of information to that applicant impede the progress. It is not applicable if some other public authority investigates. For example you have referred the matter to CVC, CVC naturally send it to CVO, and CVO provides report to CVC. Report is finalised and CVC has to arrive only at logical conclusions, and as investigation is completed by that organisation, providing of information (already filing investigation report) can no way impede progress of investigation. Depends on circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
