Concluded Lokayukta inquiry reports are disclosable; pending matters remain §8(1)(h).
Lokayukta inquiry reports under the Kerala Lok Ayukta Act, 1999, once concluded and submitted to the Government, become public records. §8(1)(h) protection ends with conclusion of the inquiry. Names of complainants and witnesses attract §8(1)(g) and may be severed.
