§24 proviso activates for corruption and human-rights violations; CIC Central Govt approval required.
The proviso to §24 carves out two categories from the exempt-organisation notification — allegations of corruption and human rights violations. Such RTIs proceed via the CIC with Central Government approval; a blanket §24 refusal is not available for them.
