Names of 10 IAS officers disclosed

Legal Correspondent

Hyderabad: The State government on Tuesday disclosed names of ten officers from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) against whom Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) recommended action.

N.V. Ramana of the High Court wanted the government to file an affidavit to the effect that there were no more such cases and adjourned the matter.

The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by Shafiquzzaman, also an IAS officer.

The petitioner had earlier approached the department concerned under the Right to Information Act seeking the names of officers against whom the ACB had launched proceeding and how the government had dropped all the action.

Information rejected

When the information was rejected, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Information Commission.

The government had said that it would disclose the information but it was not done.

The present writ petition was filed questioning the non-disclosure of the information.

On an earlier occasion, the government had disclosed the list of six officers.

The officers whose names were disclosed on Tuesday are as follows: Vinod Kumar G. Agarwal, G. Narendranath, S. Bhale Rao, R.S. Goel, Priyadarshi Dash, B. Narasiah, B. Krupanandam, D. Varaprasad, D.R. Garg, and G.S.G. Ayyangar.

The government claimed that explanation from D. Varaprasad and G.S.G. Ayyangar was awaited.

The government said that action against the remaining officers had been dropped.
