The Central Information Commission has clarified that it has disposed of 768 cases up to the 12th of August. The clarification comes following a media report concerning the disposal of Second Appeals and Complaints during this month. The CIC said that the figures relating to the disposal of cases do not represent the actual disposal of cases by the Commission. The decisions in the disposed cases are also being simultaneously dispatched by post to the concerned parties. 

 

The Commission said that the data relating to cases admitted and disposed of has remained updated only up to 1st of this month and the portal has been undergoing upgradation since the 2nd of this month.

 

The CIC therefore emphasised that the figures presently visible on its website during the portal-upgradation period should not be construed as reflecting the actual disposal of cases during August 2026. It also clarified that the non-updation of the portal data has not affected the functioning of the Commission or the conduct of hearings and they have continued as usual during the period of portal upgradation.

 

The Commission further underlined that the upgraded Second Appeals and Complaints Portal is expected to be live and operational from the 17th of this month, following which the relevant case data is expected to be updated on the Commission’s website and portal.
