Venkatesh Nayak of Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative had sought from the Indian High Commission in Australia details of the passport issued to Rajan on the basis of forged identity.
The application was forwarded to the mission in Sydney where the travel document was issued to Rajan.
The Mission refused to divulge the details citing Sections 8(1)(a), (e), (g) and (h) of the RTI Act.
Section 8(1)(a) alone covers seven grounds to deny information -- sovereignty and integrity, defence, strategic, scientific, economic interests and foreign relations of the state and incitement to commission of crimes. Section 8(1)(e) relates to fiduciary relationship, 8(1)(g) exempts information from disclosure which may endanger the life and safety of any person and 8(1)(h) the disclosure impede the investigation, prosecution process or arrest of the offenders.

He admitted that setting such a rule will take time. "But the international community has a choice. We can pretend all is well with the global monetary non-system and hope that nothing goes spectacularly wrong. Or we can start building a system fit for the integrated world of the 21st century".
