CBI §24 exempt; closure reports (where corruption/human-rights invoked via proviso) disclosable with CIC approval.
CBI is a §24-notified exempt organisation. The §24 proviso — allegations of corruption and human-rights violations — opens a narrow disclosure path. Closure reports in such matters are disclosable with CIC's case-by-case approval; operational details remain protected under §8(1)(h).
