Outcome
CBI falls within §24 exempt organisations, subject to the corruption and human-rights proviso.
Ratio decidendi
The CBI is notified as an exempt organisation under the Second Schedule read with §24. However, the proviso to §24 carves out information relating to corruption and human rights violations, which remains accessible subject to approval.
