| Outcome | Partly allowed |
IB is §24 exempt; personnel matters (pension, service records) of IB officers partly accessible to the officer themselves.
§24 exempts the Intelligence Bureau as an organisation from RTI. However, the exemption applies to operational/intelligence records, not to an IB officer's own personnel records (pension, service book, postings). The data-subject rule (§8(1)(j) not against the self) operates within the §24 framework.
