CBI has refused to part with information on a purported letter of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) asking it not to pursue extradition proceedings against then chairman of Union Carbide Warren Anderson after the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.
"The case is still pending prosecution vis-a-vis Anderson, who is an absconder in the case. I am convinced the disclosure of information as asked by you (applicant) would impede the process of his pending extradition and prosecution," CBI said in a response to a query filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
Denying the information to applicant Ajay K Agrawal, an advocate, Chief Public Information Officer of CBI, Rakesh Aggarwal said his response under the transparency law could be challenged before a superior authority within 30 days.
The plea under RTI had sought a copy of MEA letter, purportedly written during 1994-1996, asking CBI not to press for Anderson's extradition in connection with the Bhopal tragedy case which had left over 15,000 dead.
